Scripting / shuffle problem

« on: June 02, 2019, 01:57:26 PM »

im dealing with an ishu with the shuffle module...

when using the new shuffle, and letter skipping alphabet,,,   it is moving up & down
very undesirable.

so iv just taken the old shuffle module and named it "slotmate"
and add it in new theme so there is no conflict to the new shuffle.
ie: fe.load_module("slotmate");


the old shuffle module is working fine not moving..around like new one


any chance new shuffle can be fixed? in the latest shuffle module

iv tried to add vid of it but utube not uploading at the moment..hope this make scene
