[Page] Cannot scroll content if its height is less than page height

The behavior is correct. The relation between page height and flickable content height is not important, but the flickable cannot be scrolled if flickable.height == flickable.contentHeight. In your case your flickable fills the page, so the heights of the flickable and page happen to be the same.

When you set the height of the rectangle to the height of the flickable+1, you can scroll more than one pixel. This is because the rectangle is much higher than te page (which has a height of MainView.height - header.height).

The binding loop seems to be caused by something inside the Flickable. If you give the rectangle id: rect, and set the contentHeight of the flickable to rect.height, the binding loop warning disappears for me. I'm not sure what causes it, but it seems to be something internal in the Flickable.

Hi Tim, I don't understand what you wrote in the first paragraph; do you mean that the test case is wrong?

I suspect that you didn't understand the issue: please try with this one. You cannot scroll to see the green rectangle, if you remove the "+1".
If I'm doing something wrong with the test case, please tell me how to fix it :-)

you are right, there is an issue in the case that the height of the flickable equals its contentsheight and flickableDirection is set to: Flickable.AutoFlickDirection (default) - allows flicking vertically if the contentHeight is not equal to the height of the Flickable. Allows flicking horizontally if the contentWidth is not equal to the width of the Flickable.

when there is a flickable, the Page height is not changed to fit under the Header, but the flickable gets a topMargin instead. However, this margin is not taken into account in the Flickable when comparing height and contentHeight.

Trying to find a solution..

The problem seems to be in Qt's Flickable, see https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31905

Thanks Alberto for reporting it.
