Hi, No, this is a design decision within the framework.
This is a hard fast rule; Whenever you want scrollbars in a child container, set the parent container's minWidth or minHeight (whichever scrollbar yo want) to 0. This will force the layout manager to crunch the child within it's parent's viewable area (thus showing scrollbars) or else the layout manager will use the measured dimension of the child and expand the parent.
