Embedded section objects in view-only mode are designed to be static objects— that is, users cannot interact with the report beyond viewing its content. Only actions performed on the parent section of the embedded section object update it. Scroll bar behavior for view only objects depend on the scroll bar settings defined for the object:
Vertical and horizontal scroll bars always appear, and adjacent to but outside the defined object’s container boundary and do not obstruct the object
Vertical and horizontal scroll bars only appear when the object has focus (when the user selects the object). The scroll bars continue to show until the user selects another object, or tool bar.
