Report designer becomes difficult to use for reports with greater than about
3-4 items. Since the panel has such a large height, scrolling becomes very
difficult -- drag the knob/thumb and it's hard to not wildly overshoot,
clicking on the arrows moves you at a snail's pace, clicking in the track is
the best option, it moves you a page, but it's a complete page and you're left
looking at complete blank space, which is disconcerting...I'd rather get to see
a sliver of my last item at the top of my screen for reference.

I'm guessing the ideal solution is to dynamically resize the pane based on how
many items are currently there.
