Using news including text like e.g. "à" inside the n_content array, the encoded text will not appear correctly until the per-char scrolling reaches the ";" char.

Here is a possible fix that let the cursor jump directly to ";" character:
Code:

if(n_content[n_t][1].charAt(n_cur-1)=="&"){var n_nSemiColIdx=n_content[n_t][1].indexOf(";",n_cur);if((n_nSemiColIdx<n_l)&&(n_nSemiColIdx!=-1)){n_cur=n_nSemiColIdx+1;}}


The code above must be inserted in n_newsbar.js:
Code:

// THE SERIOUS SCRIPT - PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH
n_nS4=document.layers?<_CUT_>:document.getElementById('nnewsb');<INSERT_THE_CODE_ABOVE_HERE>mes=n_content[n_t][0]!=<_CUT_>


Hoping this will help someone... :wink:
