Narflex has kindly added some new 'implicit' table and panel context variables to the v6.0 which allow real scrollbars to be created in Studio.

Attached is an STV that has proof-of-concept code, and demo pages for these scrollbars, which any studio dev is welcome to take and use in their STV.
The table scrollbar panel will work for most table types (multi col or single col) without any modification. The only caveat is if the table has wrap-scroll enabled, then you need to have an attribute 'WrapVScroll=true' as the table child to indicate to the scrollbars that the table is wrapped. I have asked that this be added as an implicit context var in Studio in a future version.
The scrollbars are not mouse-draggable in the traditional sense (you cannot pick up the 'thumb' and drag it), but clicks and drags above the 'thumb' will send PageUp, and clicks/drags below the 'thumb' will send PageDown, so it behaves in a similar way if you drag it to a position.
Enjoy!
