Thanks for that info. This sounds like a bug then. Why would setting the minHeight/Width on a child of a container cause the scrollbars for that container not to show properly?
The minHeight and minWidth is necessary to prevent the canvas (or actually I have a whole component) from sizing too small. This setting of the minHeight and minWidth should cause the scrollbars to show on it's parent container right? This definitely seems like a bug to me.
