A text panel must be either under 60 words or over 95 words.
This avoids an awkward display where a scroll arrow appears for very little extra content.
A text panel should have fewer than 60 words. Or, a text panel should have more than 95 words. This rule prevents a 'dead zone' of 60-95 words. In the dead zone, a scroll arrow shows, but there is not much to scroll. This makes the panel look broken. Short panels work best with 30-55 words. Long panels work best with 100-150 words.
A designer creates a panel with 70 words. The panel shows a scroll-down arrow. But there are only two extra lines of text. The user scrolls down, and the arrow quickly changes to scroll-up. This feels like a mistake. The designer should make the panel shorter, under 60 words, or longer, over 95 words.
