Hi, I am struggling with the same problem: I use the DockLayoutPanel as my main container (being a good coder following Google's recommendations: Use the new LayoutPanels they are much better/predictable/ compatible ..so I hoped on the train) but I want the browser to display a scrollbar as soon as the content gets too long. I tried to stuff the DLP in a scrollPanel but no success (as also described here: http://blog.discovr.net/post/516022222/how-to-design-a-gwt-layout-that-scrolls).
What do you recommend to do? Are there people in Google working on this problem or is this just the way it is? Should I re-write my app to use a DockPanel as main container? With the consequences that I cannot use the new LayoutPanels anymore anywhere in my app (LayoutPanel inside traditional panel = no good, usually)? Thanks for any suggestions/advice.
