Can you explain the obstacles that prevent implementing this?  We have
vscroll support in the display engine, so I think the implementation
should be quite easy.  But maybe I'm missing something.

That could be because people are unaware of some crucial feature, or
because no one with the know-how had enough motivation to code this,
or for any number of other reasons.  Not necessarily because it's
impossible.
