I am unsure of what you are talking about with that "remain visible" and
"cumbersome scrolling".
Is this just a matter of:
a) Not knowing what controls whether a subtree of accounts is expanded
or not?
b) Not understanding that you can rename accounts, that you can control
the collating sequence by choice of name?
In other words, just how obtrusive would this hidden part of the tree be
if all under a parent with a name like "xarchive" (assuming you have no
accounts with names beginning y or z) and that not expanded?
