David, there is a difference between 'overview' pages and maintenance pages. In general an overview page like the one you mentioned on invoice should only show a overview of the total invoice and maintenenace pages use the tabs and allow you to update.
Yes you sometimes have to scroll but at least you have an overview without clicking tab buttons. If the status changes so the user cannot change the info anymore at least he can see the overview and the buttons disappear. The scrolling is a problem yes, but recently there was an update with allows for independent scrolling of screenlets on one page.....it wasn't yet implemented on this page. Hans.
