Dear Sven,
I work with jsp, so I don't know if my approaches apply also to vm...
I have the same problem, but I think it is not so easy to solve unless you
make some trick like transparent images e.g. in a new right.vm that set the
height of the central part AT LEAST at e.g. 600 px...
You could also try to set the height of the table cell that hosts the
central part, it should be in default.vm.
This seems to work (I just tried it out on the portal I am developing), but
obviously the thing you see depends on your screen set up (width, toolbars
etc.)
Hope you can get some help from my 2 cents!
Good luck
Stefano
