Hi,

it's great that you are expanding the capabilities. Just waiting for camera API. Lol, fascinating that now I think it's realistic to do this, a year ago I was thinking the opposite.

But I have a big problem with the new scrollable areas. Please help me finding my error or confirm that it is a bug:

Need to know it soon to get ready for the Developer Competition!

Thanks.
