Can't scroll feed using keyboard

[Steve Holmes]

Binary package hint: gwibber

It is not possible to scroll through messages using arrow keys. It is possible to tab through links, so it is not a problem with focus, but the panel is not responding to arrow keys.

its a regression. the problem has been there since 2.31.4 I think

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

this bug is a regression and also causes a problem when one dont want to use the cursor and see the stream with keyboard.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

its a regression in Maverick. and people often want to scroll through their streams with keyboard in a relaxed manner ;)

Ken, can you please take a look into this?

Will it be ported to lucid and maverick?

As far as I can tell, this hasn't been applied to the 3.0 branch, as you can't scroll the feed using the arrow keys in 3.0.0.1
