As for the scroll, I think I posted this earlier, but maybe there could be a button on it that looked similar to the windows form minimize button that would, well, minimize the scroll? Then you could take a look at the grandeur of the entire world map without that terrible mouseover movement.
Good idea. Let's remove the "jumping" so it works like in KaM (the scroll is fixed to the left or right, based on where the currently selected flag is). Then the scroll can have a minimize button (like the wax seal for closing messages in-game?) and it can be restored by clicking a button in the corner, which will look the same as the button to open the "player info" page in multiplayer games.
The only issue I can see is that to select a flag under the scroll (if you want to play a previous mission) you must minimize the scroll first (the scroll will automatically reappear when you select a flag though).
I'm also thinking of adding the mission number on each of the red flags (not the locked ones). In some campaigns (especially Vas') it's quite hard to tell which flag is for which mission without clicking on each one.
