Description Dirk Bergstrom 2010-04-20 08:36:19 UTC

Long song titles in the Now Playing screen flicker as they scroll.  It's not particularly noticeable with the small text skin.  It becomes progressively more irritating with large text, increased distance from the screen, and decreased ambient light.  At night, when I'm sitting across the room on the couch, it's very distracting.

FYI, a workaround if you are interested:

Settings->Screen->Now Playing->Scroll Mode

you can set the text scrolling to not scroll at all or scroll once and stop.

I'm aware that I can turn off scrolling (I've set it to "once and stop"), but then I can't see the whole song title if I miss it the first time.  I don't dislike the scrolling, I dislike that it flickers when it scrolls.

fair enough. the bug is valid, just wanted to make sure you knew your options as they stand today.
