Scrolling List Field/Table

[Peter Haworth]

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?
