Request - roGridScreen Behavior End

SetUpBehaviorAtTopRow currently has the options of stop - which remains on the top row, or exit, which closes the gridscreen. Could you please add an option for end so it will wrap around to the bottom row? And probably an option so that pressing down will wrap to the top row? I could probably do this manually in the isremotekeypressed, but since the other movements are handled by the screen itself, it makes sense to me that these would too.

I don't think you receive isRemoteKeyPressed events for anything other than Play and Info on the grid screen, so I'm pretty sure Roku would have to implement it to make it possible.

We did a lot of user testing on wrapping the scrolling from top to bottom and came to the conclusion that it confused users. It was considered and purposefully dropped.
