Description Ben Klaas 2010-04-30 08:31:29 UTC

the EN string for the second line on the "starting squeezebox server" is too long to fit on the SBTouch screen and as a result scrolls (other languages are even longer). The scrolling is not smooth at all, and when it gets to the end of the scroll it skips and jumps several times rather than stops.

This line is not live in 7.5.0 firmware. I had briefly re-enabled it in 7.5.1 but I'm going to comment it out again because this behavior is so poor.

It would be nice to let the user know that the starting of the server was going to take a long time, because it delivers a poor user experience to have a spinny with no communication of the expected delay.

note: problematic bottom line of text is currently not on production firmware. bug is about fixing its behavior so it can be there.
