Grid: Horizontal scroll control?

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

My requirement: When the user swaps to the layout containing a Grid, that Grid would be displayed in standard scrolling position, regardless of prior scrollings. In an ideal world, I’d programmatically do this when swapping the Grid in:

myGrid.scrollToStart();
myGrid.scrollToLeft();

But the scrollToLeft() doesn’t exist. So my ugly, inefficient work-around is to completely create a new grid:

myLayout.removeComponent(myGrid);
myGrid = new MyGrid();
myLayout.addComponent(myGrid, whereItGoes)

It works, but there must be a better way. (?)

This requires probably client side extension that does this for you. It should be feasible since in Grid widget setScrollLeft(…) and setScrollTop(…) are public methods. They take double as parameter (scroll offset in pixels).
