Bug Description

I'm not on a touch-based setup, neither are most of the general publics' computers. When I try to scroll up and down using the scrolling wheel, I only get so far, usually only about 1cm or so up or down the page, then am forced to do the drag-and-drop technique on the screen from up to down or vice versa to scroll properly like on a touch-based setup. This does not feel natural for most common computer users and ends up being more of a hassle, especially because every other program in Ubuntu for Desktop uses the scrolling wheel just fine. Similar issues have also been reason to blame for Windows 8's massive public backlash - All simply because of the obvious - We all don't have touchscreen computers to make these fluid movements that control actions.

Please add better Keyboard and Mouse input/output support for not just the Friends app, but also other apps transferred from Ubuntu Touch.
