The video is very helpful, it shows the dynamics of what is really going 
on.  My initial reaction (without much thinking) was to resize the 
Theories dockable, since I am used to Swing components not being very 
precise concerning scrollbars etc. (this also depends on L&F).

I don't know an easy way to combine scrollbars with flexible 
(two-dimensional) layouts, as seen in this list view.

A more basic approach is now in Isabelle/8a58a8c5a1c0, just painting more 
borders.
