Description Ralf Sternberg CLA 2011-08-25 10:45:19 EDT 
Currently, RAP applications are limited to the size of the browser window. To allow for RAP applications that look like normal web sites, we should find a way to support website-like scrolling.

To test a simple solution that provides this functionality we worked for a while with a hack that uses

  qxsettings[ "qx.enableApplicationLayout" ] = false;

in the debug-settings.js. This enables scrolling if a shell exceeds the display client area. In our case this worked pretty good, but we had admittedly only a small subset of the RWT widgets in use.

As supposed by Rüdiger maybe we could give it a try and make this switch configurable by a css property of display and see how far this does the trick?
