Description
I'm maintaining a timeline where some entries have a large amount of text (example, may need to turn down resolution if you've got a good monitor):
When the text is larger than the area provided by the timeline, scrolling moves the background. This causes several problems that could have a simple solution: don't move the background. It may also be simple enough to also fix the media associated with the slide.
