Thanks for your quick answer.

Which wrap setting do you mean?

#wrapDirection is set to none, #wrapDirection is by default set to
#topLeft.
I already tried to set cellPositioning: #center for the container, but
unfortunately it doesn't work.

It seems as if the following combination works:

vResizing: #shrinkWrap;
listCentering: #justified;
wrapCentering: #center.

#shrinkWrap avoids the spaces from getting bigger while scrolling,
listCentering: #justified puts the inner elements below each other and
wrapCentering: #center puts everything to the center.

But I don't really understand how this works and why listCentering:
#center is not the right option...Morphics and LayoutPolicies seem to
be some kind of dark magic. 

Greetings,
Esther
