Description
When a label is longer than the area it is displayed in the right most characters are alpha fades to full transparency. This indicates that there is more text to come.
But when using fade in on such a label it is first fully rendered without the alpha mask at the end. Once the fade in is completed the alpha mask is applied.
This generates a visual flicker.
Reword of fade-in process in GUIFadeLabel.cs needs to be reworked to support long strings
h4. Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a very long file name for a video
2. Go to MyVideos and select the file name in question
3. In Titan watch the bottom where the file name is displayed again.
It will fade in to 100% visibility with no alpha blending at the right most and.
Once this is completed the alpha blending will applied.
Result: short flicker at the right end of the string.
