I agree with you. I think, we should re-design our framework to allow it to work with views and also find out, how we can create views on the fly with variable condition.

May be it would be a stage 2 problem, I don't know... Right now my manager would not authorize any changes...

Ok, I didn't know this... Now I know how to explain this weird scrollbar behavior...
