I don't know why there would be any lag in widgets coming from anyone's library because everything is cached. Now if 30+ widgets came from add-ons or the skin helper widgets it would probably be a laggy mess. For the Poster view I have removed about a half dozen of my more obscure smart playlist widgets. To get my number to 29 and everything works perfectly but the fix would still be nice.
All my widgets were non skinhelper, non addon. So do 35+ widgets in poster view cause any lag issues?
Now I'm wondering if it's poster layout specific. I reset all my widgets so I can't even check if this was poster layout specific or not without adding all those widgets back.
The overlap is most definitely a poster view specific problem at least it is not a problem in landscape so it has something to do with the total height of the widgets on the home screen. I don't recall having any lag issues with the posters when I had 35 but I'll add them back to test.

1.07 changelog:
- Added option to keep the slim menu static (Settings>Homescreen layout>Menu Options)
- Added option to remove profile from sideblade menu (Settings>Homescreen layout>Menu Options)
- Fixed red line indicator on slim menu disappearing if selecting same hub in succession.
- Improved visuals for profile button on menu.
- Added DTS/DTSHD logos for Details row.
- Changed the font size and colour on plots to match Netflix.
- US MPAA ratings get their own logos on details row if enabled, either a rectangle style or a UK styled round version depending on setting (settings>home screen layout>Details Options)
- Added a colour option for IMDB/RT ratings on details row dependant on monochrome/colour ratings settings in homelayout settings. Note: selecting IMDB/RT rating on details row also changes the footer ratings (if enabled), removing redundant RT & IMDB ratings. Studio logos won't work on this footer currently.
- improved MPAA flagbox/text on details row. Box now scales with label width instead of being a set width (basically means a better fitting box regardless of text width, especially useful for addons with unusual MPAA ratings like "Mature", "Guidance", etc."
- Fixed rotten tomatoes rating width on the footers so it's no longer truncated.
- Fixed % watched tags on widgets so their no longer truncated.
- Fixed label tag/overlay on landscape widgets not displaying properly
- Improvements to New Episode tag to match Netflix
-Fixed landscape art disappearing from episode view.
To do:
Fix widget headers scrolling when plot scroll is enabled.
Fix progress bars displaying incorrectly
Fix Studios not working with RT/IMDB details row option.
Fix bug with details row MPAA icons fallback to text not working correctly in Bingie Poster view library.

I haven't forgotten about your plot scroll issue. It's just I can't find any scroll conditions associated with the widget headers so it's confusing me quite a bit.
I have a couple of options for you though.
1. I can reduce the font size of the widget header which will prevent it from scrolling (bit weird having headers smaller than the plot text size!)
Or..
2. I can give you 2 extra plot lines in the info dialog screen (below)
Its current got a max height set for 4 lines, but 6 lines should get you full plots with one click without even needing the plot scroll setting (which is really ugly anyway!).
Anyway, let me know if either is good for you and pm me your email and I'll get it over to you.

It is the widget header font size yeah but it’s defined in the includes xmls (and fonts.xml)
I removed the original font because I didn’t want to have to maintain different fonts making sure they all work properly within the modified text boxes I made to prevent plots looking like big block walls of text.
The header still worked with the original font because it defaulted to smaller size (a standard Kodi text size/font) due to not being maintained properly. This is why I offered you the option of reducing the size of the widget header.

I probably won't support single widget row but I have looked into this on multiple widgets. If we fix it here, maybe single widget row will get fixed too.
I had a look by setting up 35+ widgets. The focus position/widget height always changes on the 29th widget with poster layout. Doesn't seem to affect landscape layout however. I think this ties in with @cscott1 issue.
Besides the widget height issue, having this many widgets turned my UI into a laggy mess. How does anyone have this many widgets and put up with that??
@AchillesPunks
One workaround could be to put another spotlight content widget at some point before the 29th widget, which should in theory, reset the focus to the proper position, just like the current spotlight content widget does. And I'm totally all for having a second spotlight content widget in between normal widgets anyway, especially if we can get it to customise content so it's different to the first one. Netflix actually does this now.
No idea how to implement this though. I had a quick look how the first one was created but I couldn't work it out. Any ideas?
I have a M.2 Samsung 970 1000Gig ssd, and a 1000 ssd and with multiple widgets even my system slows a little, and it really does take a lot to slow it.
