String Marquee - Better Multi Line Handling

Feature description

Is it possible for you to make the Marquee effect only apply to the long lines of a string? (Currently Marquee applies to the entire string, rather than per-line.)

Problem solved

Multi-line strings don’t look great when Marquee is active because the short portions will also scroll.

Brought benefits

Marquee effect would be more useful for strings with different line lengths.

Device type

Phone

Additional description and context

Inspired by the changes to trailing newline. This is one of two solutions I came up with for my theme. (The other doesn’t involve a feature request :laughing: )

I completely understand if this isn’t possible due to the way the text boxes are handled. The simple solution for 90% of users will just be to use two String slots instead of one. (Which I think I can manage as well, so consider this request to be low priority.)

Screenshots

Sorry for delay, site was down for a bit? String in question is the “The Jiggly Jellies \n Sir Leopold Beaumont…” portion and is Center justified.

Ideal Behavior (top line stays in place):

IdealMulti-ezgif.com-gif-to-webp-converter

Cherry Picked example of why current behavior isn’t the best (8x recording):

In this last example, it takes 30s for the top line to be visible and 1m30s for it to return :rofl:

This is not possible.
