Same here. This really frustrates me and seems like an obvious bug.
I'm surprised it's not fixed in Flex 3 either...it seems fairly common
to have a component inside another that you want to be able to grow
(percentage width) and scroll vertically.
My "fix" is to disable horizontal scrolling and put an extra 10 pixels
on the right side of the potentially scrollable area... This way I
never get the horizontal scrollbars, and none of my content looks
crop. I'm really not a fan of this though, since I either have extra
padding when no scrollbar is present, or less padding when present.
