An alternative for developing high area stacks would be a half resolution mode.
The stack rect and other sizes would be in real pixels but the other pixels

Virtual pixels

Are these something like fairies at the bottom of the garden (virtually
pixies). Err; sorry, that one just slipped out.

Would be grateful if you could explain what 'virtual pixels' are, and
how one can do all that.
I'm doing something like that scripted. I'm developing at half size and the
thing doubles in size when put into a full screen. It learns the half size
properties so I can do a crude test on the wrong monitor and then go back.
I'm now thinking that using Parallels at full screen to allow oversized
resolution might also be a solution, but Parallels has rendering problems in
that case. That might also be nice for the final monitor testing, but
Parallels is limited to only a few size settings from within Windows, though it
can do a lot by resizing in window mode. And the Parallels Display Adapter
does not rotate.
I'm also thinking of scrollbars that hang outside the window.
And I'm still thinking about Mark Schonewille's idea.

It would be great but only for a relatively few edge cases. Most apps that
have scrolling regions also have non-scrolling ones, such as a toolbar or other
controls, so with groups we're in control of what can be scrolled and what
remains stationary.
