BINGO!! So three scrolls and stop is NOT standard/expected behavior for the label container. This is a known issue that is being worked on. Thank you Hitcher!

And I like your idea of having the three (or some number of)  scrolls and stop control as part of the smartredraw = true setting and not as standard/expected behavior. Default behavior is scrolling continuous forever at the default smartredraw = false setting.

Or better yet even, if scrolling adds a significant load to the CPU just add a variable that can be added to control number of scrolls inside the label control itself. 0=infinite (default for true), 100=100 scrolls - example: <scroll iterations="100">true</scroll>.

I don't think either setting will impact powersaver mode if that is the objective of limiting the number of scrolls. At least not for the music player. It ignores it all together 348310.
