I've fixed this, and uploaded another snapshot.

By design, but the implementation may leave room for improvement.

The cycle is:
categories.
all packages
packages that will be altered only.

It really needs a visual hint about that somewhere.

We've got a user constraint in that we have to support 640x480 screens,
so changing the window width isn't an option (or do you mean the child
window). I think what is wrong is the scroll bar calculations aren't
offsetting enough. - I'm just looking at that now.
