Without getting into the big picture, the reason you get scrolling is
that the text view's vertical size request exceeds its allocation.
Which means you need to be sure it gets the whole vertical size
request.

To make this app nice I really think you need a custom widget for the
outline, rather than a lot of oddly juxtaposed prebuilt widgets. But
of course it'll be a lot more challenging and time-consuming to
implement that way. Just an editorial comment...
