Well, I guess understanding the new paragraph features is going to take a while. Not even sure what a paragraph is in the context of a scrolling list field - is every line a paragraph? Also not sure if I can replicate a table exactly since I want to have the ability to scroll vertically.
For now, I'm ploughing ahead trying to use a table. I figured out the scrolling issue, the amount to move (up or down) is the difference between the previous and current vscroll - that all works fine now. I have what I think is probably a more complex issue to solve though. If I scroll the field so that the table starts to go past the top or bottom of the file, it stays visible and just keeps on scrolling. I need to figure out a way to have the parts of the table that move beyond the top and bottom borders of the field disappear. The closest I have so far is to position an opaque rectangle between the top of the field/stack and bottom of the field/stack. The table then disappears behind the rectangle. Almost there but it still looks a little strange because the the table stomps on the line borders of the field before disappearing. Any ideas?
