Have Unread container show more than 250 items.

It would be great if you could change/turn off the limiter for the unread container. Right now I look at EB 1x a day in order to limit my exposure to this generally time sucking stuff and it always has way more than 250 items in the unread container. It would be nice to start at the bottom (or at the top--wouldn't it be cool to reverse the order if you preferred that?) and read through ALL of them in order.

Reproduceable:

Launch EventBox
Add Twitter, Facebook and Google Reader accounts and enable them all Accounts should have at least 50 friends/followers/feeds each
Mark all as read.
Close EventBox and wait a few hours
Open EventBox
Refresh all and begin reading in the Unread box / Unread section in HUD
As all the services refresh, whatever you've selected gets marked as read and gets removed. It makes it impossible to scroll down and read everything.

Option to mark as read only when an item has been read, but is not in focus.

When I'm going down the list of unread items, if the next refresh occurs, it ends up removing the item that is currently focused, even if I haven't actually finished reading it.

I think it would make the most sense to mark things as read on "exit" instead of on "entrance" to the item. That way, what you have selected doesn't suddenly disappear on the next refresh.
