Scrollbar Overlaps Flow Panel objects

Is there a way to get the scrollbar to not overlap the flow panel. It covers by user objects and users always have to expand the window.

I have the flowpanel set to dock full in the form. See screensots attached

You can add a scroll margin, see AutoScrollMargin. It adds the specified margin to the scrollable area. It's identical in WinForms. In general, if the horizontal scrollbar is needed, it will reduce the vertical viewport and may trigger the vertical scrollbar.

I tried it on the Flow Panel – does not do anything and autoscroll is true.

I just tried it, it adds the margin to the scrollable area making the scrollbar appear when the content + AutoScrollMargin is larger than the container. For the vertical scrollbar not to overlap you have to have enough space, there is no mechanism to resize the content to fit the scroll bar. Can you send a test case?
