I am having some problems with Internet Explorer. I have a Window with one Fieldset containing a few Components - all ExtJS elements.
The window is resizable and I want the scrollbars to appear when the user resizes the window to a size smaller than the size required to show its contents.
This works fine in FireFox 3.6.x, but when using IE7 or IE8 I get the following result:

Why do I get this result in Internet Explorer and shouldn't it be possible to do what I want?
The code used to generate the above result is:

I know that this question is very similar to a previous question of mine, but I hope this time I'm more clear in what I am asking for. - And it relates to both IE7 and IE8.
I got this example working by wrapping the fieldset in a panel, and moving the autoscroll from the window to the panel:
MyWindow = Ext.extend(Ext.Window, {         
        resizable: true,
        closable: true,
        width: 400,
        height: 200,
        closeAction: 'hide',                        
        title: 'Window',
        layout: 'fit',
        initComponent: function () {
            var config = {
                items: {
                    xtype: 'panel',
                    autoScroll: true,
                    items: [
                        {
                            xtype: 'fieldset',
                            title: 'Fieldset',
                            layout: 'form',
                            items:
                            [
                                {
                                    xtype: 'numberfield',                                                                                                       
                                    fieldLabel: 'Label'                                    
                                }, {
                                    xtype: 'checkbox',
                                    fieldLabel: 'Label',
                                    checked: true                                    
                                }, {
                                    xtype: 'checkbox',
                                    fieldLabel: 'Label',
                                    checked: true                                    
                                }, {
                                    xtype: 'checkbox',
                                    fieldLabel: 'Label',
                                    checked: true                                    
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
            Ext.apply(this, config);
            // Config object has already been applied to 'this' so properties can 
            // be overriden here or new properties (e.g. items, tools, buttons) 
            // can be added, eg:
            // Call parent (required)
            MyWindow.superclass.initComponent.apply(this, arguments);
        }   
    });
    AWindow = new MyWindow();
    AWindow.show();
});
Couple notes:
I discovered that when giving the window:
bodyStyle: 'position:relative;'
the FieldSet stays inside the window. Why this is needed I don't know, neither how to set this attribute a more Extjs'y way.
