Adafruit_SS1306.begin hangs

• Arduino board: Nano Every

• Arduino IDE version 2.3.4

• List the steps to reproduce the problem below (if possible attach a sketch or
  copy the sketch code in too): LIST REPRO STEPS BELOW

The following code appears to hang in Adafruit_SSD1306.begin rather than returns False if the screen is not present, or at least not powered. This is inconvenient, can't it be fixed with e.g. a timeout?

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width, in pixels
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height, in pixels

// Declaration for an SSD1306 display connected to I2C (SDA, SCL pins)
// The pins for I2C are defined by the Wire-library.
// On an arduino UNO: A4(SDA), A5(SCL)
// On an arduino MEGA 2560: 20(SDA), 21(SCL)
// On an arduino LEONARDO: 2(SDA), 3(SCL), ...
#define OLED_RESET -1 // Reset pin # (or -1 if sharing Arduino reset pin)
#define SCREEN_ADDRESS 0x3C ///< See datasheet for Address; 0x3D for 128x64, 0x3C for 128x32
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for half a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
static long int time_out_time = millis() + 1000;
if ( millis() > time_out_time) break;
}; // wait for Serial set up to complete
Serial.println("\nFirst OLED SSD1306 Screen Test V0.1 Starting");
Serial.println("\nSetting up display");
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for half a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
// SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC = generate display voltage from 3.3V internally
if(!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, SCREEN_ADDRESS)) {
Serial.println("Screen Set up failed");
for(;;); // Don't proceed, loop forever
}
Serial.println("SCreen Set up succeeded");
display.clearDisplay();
display.display();
Serial.println("Display Cleared");
display.setTextColor(SSD1306_WHITE);
display.setTextSize(2);
display.setCursor(0, 0);
Serial.println("About to Write");
int characters = display.write('X');
Serial.print("Wrote ");
Serial.println(characters);
display.display();
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
}

Sorry, please disregard this. I've tried it again on another set up and it does not hang. I'm investigating.
