Vertical scrolling in wps

Llorean:
I'm fully capable of reading the topic of this thread. Repeating it does not answer my question.

Hillshum:
I never said changing the direction would allow more data on the screen, but scrolling allows for more efficient use of screen space(two little used bits of info can take the space of one)

"more data onto the screen"

But ignoring the fact that you really did say that, you are aware of alternating sublines right? They can already alternate the data on the screen without scrolling sideways, and this request is simply described as a way of animating the transition between sublines.

It doesn't allow anything new to be done in terms of information, it's just described as changing how an existing transition would display.

perfectdrug:
in my understanding vertical scrolling means, that when the information exceed the horizontal width the line would scroll vertically. you can't archive this with alternating sublines. e.g. when the tracktitle is longer than the screenwidth it would scroll vertically (just like the h1xx OF)

The feature as described is about alternating sublines.

If it's about lines longer than the width scrolling vertically instead of horizontally, it's still functionally just allowing presentation of as much information as our horizontal scrolling, so it still doesn't allow any more information, it just changes how that information is alternated.
