Research direction

Start in Components/MarqueeText.swift and inspect how the Now Playing album line initializes and begins scrolling. Reproduce the issue on the iPhone 16 simulator using the described album text and screenshot context. Done means the text starts at its leading edge, pauses, and scrolls only afterward.

Description

bug

Seen on iPhone 16 sim, iOS 18.5 (2026-10-01). Now Playing's third line reads 'ner 2049: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack': the MarqueeText for the album is clipped at its leading edge, apparently caught mid-scroll or offset, instead of resting at the start of the text. Expected: it starts at the leading edge and scrolls only after a pause. Screenshot: /Users/tim/projects/simplecity-apps/s2-ios-design-audit/iphone-light/15-now-playing.png (local). Components/MarqueeText.swift.
