Pardon my intrusiveness, but this sounds like a terrible UI. It's highly nonstandard and nobody will expect it to behave this way. Why can't you do things the normal way such that you start off with: A B C Z Y X And when you scroll to the right you get: B C D Y X W This has the dual advantage of allowing you to use NSScrollView and not confusing your users.
