[PyQt] Scroll QTableView beyond last column/row

[Paul Du Bois]

Hmmm. I haven't seen that behavior, but it might be specific to particular
Qt versions (I'm on a slightly old one). I think the general idea of only
futzing with the scrollarea/scrollbar is pretty sound, though. You might
get some traction on that bug by checking to see if it's the scrollbar
that's getting its range changed (or its value changed) behind your back
somehow, or if someone's moving the view independently of the scrollbar.
