i had a look at your stack and you are just using the wrong approach...

Do this:
Remove everything but the lonely button, yes all the nice and almost 
unused scrollbars :-)

Then group that only button!!!
You can hide it then, we just need it to create a group, empty groups 
are not possible...

Set the h- and v-scrollbar AND the lockloc of that group to true...

Then add this resizescript above to your card and resize the card :-)

Now you can fill this group with content...


Hope that helps
