ESPEasy Display and SDD1306 framed

Hi

I am using ESPEasy DISPLAY with SDD1306 framed driver with text scrolling enabled.
The displayed text is 2 lines and it is set that the "header" is hidden.
When the text contains more than 19 characters per line it is truncated and not displayed.
Is there any software/hardware limitation on the number of characters per line in text scrolling mode ?
The text I have contains 25 characters and only 19 characters from the text are shown.

Is it possible to change this limitation ?

Regards

Waldek

Most likely the total number op pixels (width) of the text, mapped to the font size you have selected, will be > 255 pixels, and that's not allowed by the SSD1306 display.
When selecting a smaller font size you should be able to see all text scrolling by.
