Bugzilla – Bug 12057
Artist & album lines don't scroll
Last modified: 2009-10-07 07:45:41 UTC
Only the Title line in Now Playing scrolls, the Artist and Album lines crop the end text when it's too long. This is with: r5737 SC 7.4 - 26558 @ Thu May 14 01:25:07 PDT 2009
FYI, from Fab4 Campfire chat on May 27th. A detailed description of why this bug is present. Triode are the three lines independant - so they scroll independantly if allowed? Ben K. they are now 3 separate label widgets, which was done for other (good) reasons, but produced this bug as a side effect Triode only one widget can scroll on the screen at once? (rather than all scroll independantly?) Ben K. only the focused widget will scroll. as it stands right now, the track label widget is the one with focus. it previously worked because it was one label with three lines of text. Triode one thing I've seen work well is scrolling each extra long line in turn. can we move the focus when the scrolling is stationary does the focus also define the bolder text? Ben K. yes, that's a possibility. don't know if there's an easy way in Lua right now to say widget:isScrolling()
The widget with 'focus' is able to scroll, the other 2 are not. There needs to be a way to switch focus
issue is a bit changed with NP redesign, but there's still an issue with scrolling the unfocused widget(s)
Copying Matt. Does the NP design specify the desired scrolling behavior?
Is this a fab4 bug or a Squeezeplay bug? Not all Squeezeplay devices have 3 lines of text on the Now playing screen... Of course we need truncated items here to scroll. Noah did the most recent work on this, but I believe the plan was for the UI to "cycle" through truncated items. So the top truncated line would scroll through, then stop at the beginning, then the second truncated item would scroll, then stop, and so on, with the process repeating as needed. I believe this is the functionality that existed before? (Added required access to baby bugs since I think the issue is different right now on baby vs fab4, i.e. 2 lines vs. 3)
This is a squeezeplay bug The ONLY thing that will scroll currently is the focused widget. We've gotten around that in the past by doing multi-line items as a single widget, which I really think is a mistake (and may not even be feasible in the skin redesign). There's some needed discussion on both how we want this to work (should all things that truncate on all windows eventually scroll? Even for e.g. non-selected albums in album lists?), and how we want to implement it (e.g., cycle scrolling by cycling which widget is focused?) I'm adding 4 hours to the time estimate on this one...methinks it will be tricky to do right.
Ben it's probably not too tricky. Discuss it with me before you start on this one.

I originally reported this on Touch before it was made a SP bug. It's marked closed but the latest 7.5.0 fw for Touch still has the problem. Comment #8 indicates that a new bug has/will be opened for Touch specifically but I can't find it. Any pointers?
