Ajax Scroller 1.5.1 Not scrolling multiple items

I upgraded to the latest 1.5.1 version of Ajax Scroller (for Joomla 1.0.x) having previously used the 1.4.1 version without problem. We had both versions set for 2 modules for 2 different Twitter timelines, each scrolling 4 tweets at a time, with "Max Chars" set to 0 to show all, and the "Delay for autoplay" set to 12.
But I can't get it to work with the new version. Only the top one of the 4 tweets scrolls, leaving the module box empty beneath it - or rather, the other 3 tweets scroll so very fast, they can't be seen but they're visible in the source code, so the module seems to be picking them up OK.
I found that if I set "Max Chars" to 0 like I had before, then no scrolling tweets show at all in the module. But if I enter a figure, then the one top scrolling item shows. It doesn't matter how many chars I set it to, I still can't get it to show all 4 scrolling tweets.
The only changes I made to the CSS were the same as I'd made for the old version, to the height and width and to the ".ajaxscrl .mScroller div div" class to add a dotted line bottom border and some padding, but the dotted line is invisible too unless your eye manages to catch the super fast scrolling of the other 3 tweets. Using the old CSS, as a test, made no difference to the scrolling items, so I don't think I made a mistake with the new one.
The file permissions are correct.
Also, sometimes (not always) an apostrophe shows as "’".
I know very little, if anything, about PHP or JavaScript, so I've no idea if I've anything that might be conflicting with this newer version of Ajax Scroller, but the new version should work OK if the older one did?
Many thanks for any possible help, especially as our visitors are asking us where our Twitter boxes have gone!

Thank you so much ;D Although I don't understand how come it worked OK with the "min-height" parameter in the previous version, not that it matters too much
