Created an account just to +1 this.

I have a smallish laptop, 14" screen running 1080p resolution and that doesn't give much vertical space. It works much better with scrolling the entire window than the little grid.

I'll be blunt:

this is real, works and addresses a specific concern.

> "browser must scroll"

this is vague, oversimplified and unrealistic.

I asked Stephan to look into this based on the topic and that's the end of it. PRs welcome.

I'll be euqally blunt. Who are you talking to? You asked a question. I answered. I would have expected a proper reply, not some annoyed comment that has nothing to do with what I brought up.

Get your attitude in order. This is no way to deal with people. At least not when they are as friendly as I am.

Fix your release notes, unless you want to come across as a liar. Or was this on purpose? Telling people that the issue was A, then tell people that A was fixed and react like someone killed your dog, because people tell you that it didn't fix A.

I haven't seen your screenshot yet. You illustrate the problem of flushing pagination, action buttons, apply bad out of the browser view.

You really need to take a break and cool off.  Your screenshot shows that the grid uses the full height of the screen and this refers to "lots of empty space" by OP being fixed.
