Scroll with wrapped text being truncated

Developers

I am trying to write an application that displays a block of text. With a paragraph or so, the text is being truncated rather than scrolling through the entire text block. Is this expected? What is the limit to length?

render.Marquee(
  height = 20,
  scroll_direction = "vertical",
  child = render.WrappedText("Long block of text here")
)

The limit (artificial as far as I can tell) is twice the height, unless you hack the pixlet source code to give you more space. I asked a question about it here: render.WrappedText, but there is no response yet.

Thank you! I missed this thread. Hopefully this is resolved soon, because scrolling long text is something that should definitely be doable.
