I think it would be good for a TPageControl tab page (TPage) to have a scroll property. On a form that fits to desktop, with a page control that fits to the window, a layout in the tab content has no way to scroll to reach it all. I have to add an intermediate scroll panel.

That's by-design, and I'm fairly adamant about keeping it that way, at least until the design-time code execution engine in the IDE is sped up a bit.  There's a fair amount of message triggering that goes on with scrollable controls, and when you multiply that by a lot of pages, it could get a little laggy in the IDE.

Okay, there is an easy workaround anyway, and can be applied on a per-case basis (I only need one tab to scroll).
