Title:
  Scrolling behaviour prevents looking at messages taller than the
  window

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using the daily builds PPA, Gwibber recently acquired new scrolling
  behaviour, namely moving to the next tweet on the scroll. I can
  understand how some people might prefer that (though it is a tad
  annoying for people who scroll while reading, like me), but it has one
  annoying side effect: if a Tweet stretches beyond the confines of the
  window, there is no way to read it apart from resizing the window,
  which might not always be an option and shouldn't be required anyway.
  See the attached screenshot for an example - scrolling moves the half-
  visible Tweet to above the window borders, making the bottom half
  unreadable.

  This could be solved either by reverting to normal scrolling
  behaviour, or, if this behaviour is kept (preferably as an option, but
  well ;-), to apply normal scrolling behaviour when a currently visible
  message doesn't fit in the window.
