Move old captions up, display new ones at bottom

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently, captions are displayed at the bottom of the screen and on top of 
each other (i.e. if multiple captions are currently on screen, new captions are 
added above them). As old captions fade away, new ones can then be added in 
their place.

However, depending on the caption duration and how often captions are 
displayed, you'll sometimes get a new caption at the bottom, then a gap, then 
old captions above that haven't yet disappeared (see attached screenshot). In 
other words, captions are not added consistently to the one place on screen.

I suggest making it so that new captions are added to the bottom of the screen 
but, when a new caption is added and there are still others on screen, the 
others move up and the new caption is added to the bottom of the screen (like 
an upside-down Twitter feed). This way, captions are consistently added to the 
same place on the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, yes that might make more sense.

Anything that creates annoying unnecessary eye movements is probably bad.
