Conflict between %Vf tag and %s tag?

[Bice]

I've been working on converting some WPS files I created a few months ago for my iPod Video to the new 3.7 syntax.  Using the old syntax where you could set a foreground and background color for a viewport, I made the currently playing song title one color, and the album/artist line a different color.  I had both lines set to scroll if necessary.

After convering them to the new syntax, the lines would display for a second, flicker and then disappear.  Through trial and error I discovered that if I removed the %Vf tag (setting foreground color) the problem went away but the text defaulted to white (which is no good because my background image for the WPS is mostly white).  If I kept the color and removed the scrolling it displayed correctly, but the artist / album title line was usually cut off.

Is this a bug in the new syntax?  Is there any way to both set the color and have the line scroll correctly?

Here's the code that's causing me trouble:

#song title
%V(64,2,222,15,1)
%Vf(ff3333)
%s%ac%?it<%it|%fn>

#album info
%V(56,18,230,15,1)
%Vf(AF7817)
%s%ac%?ia<%ia|%?d(2)<%d(2)|[Unknown Artist]>> - %?id<%id|%?d(1)<%d(1)|[Unknown Album]>>

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Try leaving %V and %V(f) in the same line, like

#song title
%V(64,2,222,15,1)%Vf(ff3333)
%s%ac%?it<%it|%fn>

That did the trick.   Thanks very much.
