I'll test for you.

First observation

Expand libs (or another catagory with enough entries to cause a scrollbar to
appear)

Scroll down a bit, so the top catagories scroll off the top.

Collapse the open catagory.

The scroll bar disappears as expected, but the top catagories are now not
visible, and I cannot get them back without expanding another catagory big
enough to get a scrollbar again.

System is WinNT 4.0, SP6.
