Not sure I'll be able to get a build out tonight as the FTP server is still down.

It seems moving the check to CGUITextLayout::RenderScrolling fixes it, but I suspect that'll only work for labels... I need to investigate.

Edit: okay, this also works for RSS etc. Updated patch: https://github.com/anaconda/xbmc/commit/...7946b4e1cf
Previous patch was only stopping the scroll position from being updated, but apparently that's not enough (it's still redrawing it, nice). Additional change to GUITextLayout.cpp prevents actual rendering.

I'll give that a test.

Side note - while testing this I've noticed the following:
* everything is fine when "Skin" on the left is selected http://i.imgur.com/YgMmwTG.png
* moving on the right causes "Skin" on the left to be continuously marked dirty () http://i.imgur.com/jmHukdn.png

Have a look here, it's been discussed before but no solution: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=171784
