Almost a Workaround: Browser Source
Used the Marquee tag within a html document and had unlimited text scrolling perfectly.
Only issue was when i went live, the text would be blank and intermittently disappearing (even with "Enabled Browser Source Hardware Acceleration" disabled - so couldn't rely on this.
