Thanks. I'll try 4.5.2 first to see if the problem remains. Should I submit a bug report if the problem remains in 4.5.2? Actually I think I will leave the horizontal scrollbars on the group as well as the vertical ones so the user can resize in either dimension in addition to whatever I

Thanks Joe, you make some good points. I haven't yet seen the scrolling in action so I can't make a judgement on how good or bad it is for the user. Just to repeat, I'm trying to deal with resizing the window by script to deal with different resolution screens, not the user re-sizing the

Pete, I'd seriously consider "reconsidering" your design concept. The speed with which LC goes to new cards makes the use of scrolling anything other than a text field not a very plausible solution. A really good navigation concept that judiciously provides connections between associated and re
