Fix scrolling bug for very busy chat rooms. The bug shows up only when smooth-scrolling is enabled. When the imhtml widget is still scrolling (such that an entire line still needs to be scrolled), and a new message comes in, it thinks the user isn't looking at the end of the buffer, so it doesn't scroll for the new message. The fix is to detect that and not disable the scrolling in such cases.
