This is something that we are all dealing with. Unfortunatly, you have to explicitly set the scrollPolicy and clipContent properties for every container in the displayList; including application and canvas. It would be nice if you could set a global verticalScrollPolicy and horizontalScrollPolicy to "off", and then just over-ride the policies to "auto" or "on" for the containers that you want to display scrollBars. If you add scroll policies and clip content properties to the rest of your containers, you should be able to fix the problem.
