Looks like a nasty bug. Setting margins and things like that don't seem 
to fix it.

Well, CSS has nothing to do with the _problem_, since the demo page does 
not have any CSS. But I guess you're asking whether CSS could be used to 
develop a _workaround.

The same problem seems to arise with a data table with many columns.

How about a workaround that removes the <html> scrollbars and sets 
scrollbars for <body>?

html, body { overflow: auto; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

This seems to avoid the problem on IE 7.
