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)

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.
