Bug Description

Gwibber's Facebook sutff shows detailed entries with comments, now. A lot of the time, these exceed the height of the Gwibber window. Because Gwibber has changed the scrolling behaviour to always skip to the next message when I scroll down, it becomes _impossible_ to read the rest of a message. (And disorienting, because I have no way of knowing whether I have skipped one message or six messages).

I played with version 3.1.2 for a while and scrolling still behaves as I described. I couldn't find any particularly long messages to experiment on (I assume the necessary stuff hasn't been implemented yet), but I was able to resize the main window to be shorter than a single message. With that done, scrolling continued to skip messages that didn't fit in the window.
