Can someone confirm me that adding a carousel action on top of a a working height resizable scrolling window prevent it from working? Here is what I do:
create a new page, set align to none
create a new HTMLitem into the page, and add a lot of text into it, set its colour to a visible yellow
set the item’s parameters as follows: layered, right inset and height inset dimension buttons click to disabled, overflow to scroll or auto
build and check that the item height changes along when you change the browser’s window height
duplicate the HTMLitem to the page margin
apply a carousel action to the item in the page and a carouselpane action to the item outside the page. Set the autoglide to 1 sec
build and verify that the item is either non visible or reduced to a single line
deleting the action returns to a normal 4)
Do I do something wrong or is that disfunctioning verified?
Carousel relies on the base element to which it is applied having a
fixed pixel dimension. It cannot be used to create a flexible element.
If you think about it a bit, that’s an understandable thing.
In order to work, it has to create a “mask” element, which is an HTML
element with its overflow set to hidden. Inside that element, it nests
a much larger element, and then manipulates that inner element’s left
position to create the visual effect. It’s like cutting a window in a
piece of paper and moving it from left to right over a larger picture,
except the window holds still and the picture moves.

I created an HTMLitem container with a hidden overflow, size set to the biggest of my rotating text items, and that works fine.
Tx for your answer, Walter!
