Title:
  Scrolling timeline flickers between current and top

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  When I scroll in gwibber i can see people scrolling by but there's a
  distinct flicker. It looks like gwibber is rendering the first few
  items in the timeline, then the ones at the position of the scroll
  bar. Continuing to scroll causes the same effect over and over.

  1. Scroll wheel down
  2. show uppermost tweets 
  3. (very short delay)
  4. show current tweets
  5. Goto 1.

  I have attached a video.  It's not easy to see but it's infuriating
  when you're scrolling, because it's impossible to read anything as it
  flickers so much.

  Watch the video and observe the most recent tweet in the timeline is
  one of dick_turpin and his avatar is a distinctive A with a Union
  Flag. Note how when I scroll it keeps appearing at the top. His is a
  good example because (at the time of writing) he tweet/dented 3
  minutes ago (in the video), and then not again previously for 23
  hours, so it's not like he just appears a lot in the timeline.
