Properties depending on children don't take effect when set in current cycle

[pkamenarsky]

Like scrollTop: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/MaMEWg?editors=001 (notice how the div doesn't scroll to the bottom.)

This is because property patches are applied before the children nodes have been patched. It seems though that properties like scrollTop depend on the childrens' state so that they can take effect.

Applying property patches after all other node patches would fix this.

Probably a duplicate of #289.

Not sure if this will help you, but I had the same issue and managed to find a solution without changing the virtual-dom source code (I am using mercury). I used a Widget instead of a hyperscript vnode so I have control over the diffing & patching.

Here are some docs that may help you:

https://github.com/Raynos/mercury/blob/master/examples/real-dom.js
https://github.com/Matt-Esch/virtual-dom/blob/master/docs.jsig // scroll down to the Widget section

What's the status of this? Doesn't seem that PR #339 is considered to be merged?
