Unfortunately, no.  My original scroll test was an image, not  
controls.  Now that I've filled the canvas with controls to beyond  
the clipping region as I mention in my new post and as you indicate  
below, the controls flow off the bottom of the canvas and clobber my .

This is unbelievable!  Custom controls based on canvases is a major  
extension feature of the RB environment and it's absolutely worthless.

Additionally, I'd also filed this one that is marked as Fixed/ 
Implemented:

Doesn't work with 1007r3 either.

See my other note for code that definitely DOESN'T work.
