I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don’t see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I’d take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here

      I’d like to know first if there is already a means in the settings to handle this issue. Unfortunately, also, I get the feeling that what I am seeing is the intended behavior, which is just not my preference

    Updated Jerboa and now I’m getting this too. +1 for being able to turn it off, because apparently my vision is based on motion.

    I came here to write exactly this question. Would indeed be nice to (be able to) turn this off.
