Flex: Prevent scrollbar from covering content when automatically displayed

apache-flexscrollbar

I have a canvas in Flex that shall be able only to be scrolled in vertical direction, so I set the attributes of the canvas as follows:

verticalScrollPolicy="auto" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"

The problem here is that the vertical scrollbar covers the content when it appears – altough there is enough horizontal room left. I would have expected that the content size would have been automatically adjusted.

When setting the vertical scroll policy to "on", no content is covered also.

In case I set both scroll policies to 'auto' I also get a horizontal scroll bar just for scrolling to the area that is covered by the vertical scroll bar.

Is there a workaround how I can relayout the content of the canvas when the vertical scroll bar is shown so that it does not cover any content?

It's a bug. See Flex verticalScrollPolicy bug for a workaround.
