Re: 8667 vertical and horiz scroll in a tab canvas

You will have to use a stacked canvas on the tab page. Use a vertical scroll bar on the block and place the block on the stacked canvas with the horizontal scroll bar on the canvas.

Do a show view on the correct tab and a hide view on all other tabs.

If there are fields on the tab that are not on the stacked canvas, you will need to also do a show view on when_new_block_instance, otherwise the canvas will be buried under the tab control.

I don't tend to like this design standard. I think it is better to use an overflow area at the bottom of the block for the fields that you can't horizontally on the screen. So your block looks like this:

field 1    field2   field 3                                   _
