Resizing a String Control Should Result in a Consistant Scrollbar Position

Status: New

When you resize a String at runtime (for instance by resizing a panel and having set the string to scale with the panel), the scrollbar will snap back to the top of the string.

This is NOT the expected behavior.

I'd personally flag this as a bug.

After resizing the Window (objects are set to scale with the Panel):

Note that I am not saying that the workaround is difficult, but extrapolate to an interface with MANY strings (try an array of strings for kicks) and you start seeing a nasty headache raising its ugly head.
