Trying to control scrollbars is giving me a headache!

I want everything to be dynamic sizing, so in general I either use
percentages for all my sizes, or layout constraints. In some cases
though, a component just cannot get smaller than a certain size to
look correct. This is when I set the minHeight and minWidth right?

I want it's immediate parent to create scrollbars if necessary, so I
set it's container to scrollPolicy="auto", and for some reason it
decides to create two scrollbars, on different parent containers..
like it's "splitting the difference" or something... 

How do I force the parent container to respect it's percentage size,
and do all of the scrolling within it? Something seems really wrong. 
Below is a self-contained sample application demonstrating the
problem. The property sheet has a minWidth and minHeight that cause it
to need to scroll in the 'propertySheetContainer', however when you
run the app, you get scrollbars both on the container AND on the
application!

any support is appreciated.
thanks,
Thunder
