Hi Dave, I think the problems you are facing result from the fact that the scroll container has a minHeigh and minWidth of 60px. This is set in the appearance to make sure the scroll bars remain usable. Since the scroll container will never be smaller than 64px you sometimes see only parts of it. Further this will override any height or width value smaller than 64px. You should try setting the min size of the scrollbar manually to 0. Then set the height of the inner composite and the scroll container to the same size so flex calculation gives both widgets the same additional space.
