Koen: I solved this problem by restructuring my layout code, and using WContainerWidget::setOverflow(). See my message of August 14, 2013 for an example. Using a WScrollArea for the entire window seemed to break the operation of an inner scrollbar.
At the risk of repeating myself, having more examples for layouts and a tutorial explaining "Best Practices for Wt Layout" would really help. At present, I find myself searching the mail archives for people who have solved a similar problem, and mimicking their code.
