Oh, in your use case, Alex, you do have an event - adding an item to the panel. Just check the height after new item added and set the height of the ScrollPanel in pixels if max value reached I would think answers.
I have looked in vain for a general method to get ScrollPanels to resize and generally behave by themselves. I think the reason is that individual divs/table cells etc do not generate events when their size changes. ScrollPanel is basically a div with an overflow setting. I have supposed this is because there can be hundreds if not thousands of boxes on a page, so if they all emitted an event every time they changed their width/heights the browser's event queue would be brought to its knees.
