Drop-down menu with nested cloners > scroll field use not possible?

After a long time, im working in Pano2vr again, building a skin from the scratch. I can see that the program is evolved so much. Lot of stuff that was really hard years ago is pretty simple now :) Thanks :)

Im building a menu that has a category cloner and node cloner. And its wonderful, because its so responsive and builds automatically.
But as there will probably be lots of nodes, i want to be able to use scroll field.
However i found, that - when the menu is constructed like that - i can not put the node cloner into the scroll field. Because then the menu will start cloning text fields! :?
Is there any workaround?

If you've been away for a while V7 is an amazing update with some very cool tools for advanced development.

Here's a tour with a skin I built that has a category cloner and a node cloner.

Here is a screenshot of the project. Only the first Category "Street Art" shows the scroller as the other two categories don't have enough nodes to force the scroller to appear.

This is a screenshot of the skin showing the arrangements of the elements that make up the menu.

You will see an element above the sub_menu_scroll called single_menu_scroll. This is an alternative option for the skin that displays only the nodes.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, Tony! Your response was very-very valuable.
I had "Auto size" selected in "Category cloner". If i disable "Auto size", its possible to add scroll without everything turning ino a mess.
Sadly, now i loose the auto size feature. But i can live with that i suppose.
Now i need to figure out how to change the scroll area height depending on the scoll area's y position (y position will be different for every category :/)
Like always... the problems are in very little details.
