Ok, I think I got measuredHeight and height mixed up, measuredHeight IS always
larger, so that if I change the code, it detects the need for scroll bars:
if (measuredHeight < height) verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.ON;
However, it still just shows the ghost of a verticalScrollbar (while annoyingly
showing an unnecessarily horizontal scrollbar!). The vertical scroll isn't
actually there, just the gutter for it! What is going on?
