Height adjustment of Twitter Timeline Widget

I am having the same problem. I have set the height on Twitter and in the widget area on WordPress and neither of them are working. It just keeps taking up more space and never activating a scrollbar. I do NOT have “No Scrollbar” checked.

I DO want a scrollbar, but for some reason it won’t activate.

You can see it at the bottom of my page there. I have it set to 20 tweets (which is obviously overkill, but no one views my site yet), and the height to 250 on both Twitter and in the Widget settings.

I gave up for now and just pasted in the code directly from Twitter’s widget area and used their instructions on how to modify the code. It seems it must be a minimum of 250 pixels tall.

EDIT:
I seem to have found what might be breaking the scrollbar!

– When I added data-tweet-limit="3" to the Twitter-provided code the scrollbar disappeared just like on the Jetpack version. The Twitter default set-up does not include limiting the Tweet count.
– Removing the limit returned the scroll bar.
– I then pulled the Jetpack widget back over and removed my post limit amount (deleted everything in the “# of Tweets Shown:” box) and tada, the scrollbar works!

Basically:
– You cannot set a Tweet limit if you want there to be a scrollbar.
– Remove all text in the “# of Tweets Shown:” box if you want the scrollbar to function.
– Since when a number of Tweets is specified, the scrollbar is disabled, that means that the widget will ignore the “Height” setting completely and will enlarge or shrink based on the size of the Tweets.

Hi! I’ve verified what you wrote, and you’re absolutely correct. We’ll update our documentation on the Twitter widget to make these points clear. Thanks for your time!
