I was considering that when Trevor contacted me and suggested his DataView
(he posted about it today) and it's the same idea. I'm going to look into
that, it sounds promising.
I really appreciate the responses here, you guys are awesome.

What about having two fields with a small amount of overlapping (same) text
and as the first field reaches the end of its scroll, the second field
could be displayed and begin its scroll…

I think the solution has to be in the engine. I'm in trouble.

I’ve run into that a few times but not recently. I couldn’t find anywhere
that I had worked around it. All I can imagine trying is
1. Swapping text in and out at some point (possibly just one giant stutter) or
2. Changing the size of the text that is not visible during the scroll…
though (the more I think about that one the more it seems like it would
make the scroll wacky in other ways) Neither seems super-promising but
that’s all I can think of at the moment. If you find a solution, I would
love to know what it is.

Yes, that seems to be the problem. I have a long text field that exceeds
the maximum. There's an enclosing group to be compatible with
acceleratedRendering on mobile. The same setup is used for all the
field/group combinations in the stack and they all work except this one,
but the others are all shorter.
I set the inner field to its full formattedHeight inside the group, which
is shorter. The group has a behavior that scrolls the content.
I discovered today that if I set the behavior on the field instead of its
enclosing group, I can make it scroll. But acceleratedRendering on a field
is jerky and doesn't work very well on mobile. I can't break up the text,
it has to be all one block. I have tried setting the group to container
layermode without success.
If you're wondering why the text exceeds the maximum, this is for a mobile
app and there is not only a lot of heavy formatting with large headings and
spaceBelow, but the text size is largish so that it is readable on a tiny
phone. That makes the pixel count pretty high.
I only have a very short time left to solve this.

Are you exceeding the maximum vertical scroll?
(I haven’t run into this recently but I believe at one point the vScroll of
groups was limited at the engine level to 32780)

Is the formattedHeight of a group broken for anyone else? LC 9.6dp4 (and
possibly dp3).
I'm a little frantic.
