MatrixPortal : solution to refresh the clock every second

I have a clock that needs to be updated every second on a first line and a second line that displays scrolling text.
currently the clock is only updated at the end of line 2 scrolling.
I am looking for a solution to refresh the clock every second independently of line 2

i have set the matrix :
<
```
# Matrix setup
print('Matrix Setup')
matrixportal = MatrixPortal(
url = URL,
json_path=FORECAST_TYPE,
status_neopixel = board.NEOPIXEL,
debug=True,
)

print('Text Setup')
matrixportal.add_text(
text_font=terminalio.FONT,
text_position=(10, 5),
text_color=0xFF8080
)
matrixportal.add_text(
text_font=terminalio.FONT,
text_position=(0, 20),
text_color=0x3ABCBC,
scrolling=True
)
```
>

and for display :
<
```
matrixportal.set_text(curtime, 0)
matrixportal.set_text(next_station_in, 1)
matrixportal.scroll_text(SCROLL_DELAY)
time.sleep(0.03)
```
>

I could get the clock update every second when using matrix.scroll() but get an issue
File "adafruit_matrixportal/matrixportal.py", line 231, in scroll
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'x'

<
```
matrixportal.set_text(curtime, 0)
matrixportal.scroll()
matrixportal.set_text(next_station_in, 1)
matrixportal.scroll_text(SCROLL_DELAY)
time.sleep(0.03)
```

Start with the MatrixPortal setup and display calls in the issue, then inspect adafruit_matrixportal/matrixportal.py around line 231 where scroll raises the NoneType error. Reproduce the independent clock and scrolling-text behavior on the MatrixPortal hardware and trace why scroll fails. Done means the clock refreshes independently while scrolling text continues without the reported exception.
