To be honest, it's the main thing that makes me *not* use gwibber everyday. Every time I launch it this scrolling behaviour disappoints me, and I just go back to twitter.com where I can have "normal" scrolling. The current scrolling behaviour makes tweets "jump" up and down, and I can't get my eyes to track tweets when scrolling, so I get lost in my tweets, without knowing were I was before scrolling a little bit.
However the idea of such a scrolling behaviour isn't stupid at all, but it's a bit hard to get accustomed to, and it isn't consistent with any other application. (this scrolling behaviour is even worst since gwibber is at roughly 100% CPU when scrolling) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gwibber in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/828593 Title: Gwibber "Smooth scrolling" Status in Gwibber: Confirmed Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Trying to read down my list of posts in Gwibber is very difficult because of a number of bugs. The one I'm reporting here is using the scrollbar to scroll through the list is in no way smooth and skips in big jumps. The effect is I cannot read while scrolling, and because it jumps so jarringly quickly I don't know if I have missed any posts. We need to implement smooth scrolling.
