I also think that present Gwibber's behaviour is broken. It should work just like the rest of messaging applications or forums (or this bug report): text box at the bottom, new messages at the bottom.

As many as 20-30 times in a single session. This is incredibly irritating, it essentially orders tweets in the opposite direction to which we really read. The only alternative is reading them out of order. My proposal is that Gwibber records the last tweet you read when you close it. Next time you open Gwibber, it loads at the top a tweet maybe 5 tweets earlier to the one you last read, then loads all the tweets after it sequentially downwards. With this, you open Gwibber, start reading at the top, remind yourself of the context of the last few tweets, and by reading downward you update yourself on what has happened since without eye strain. If a new tweet pops up, it'll be added to the bottom of the list, letting you scroll down more, maybe sending an alert or changing the titlebar to alert the user that there are new messages. This will make reading tweets a far more natural process. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
