Not enough vertical space for horizontal scrollbar leads to unnecessary vertical scrollbar, EG in "Open editors" view.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Enable horizontal scrolling
2. Create some files which require horizontal scrolling
3. Observe unnecessary vertical scrollbar in "Open editors" view (see screenshots below)

This seems to have been automatically closed in issue #67441 by vscodebot, but I don't think it should have been, and I don't know how to re-open the issue.

As stated by olegbl, "To solve both issues, what needs to grow by the height of the scroll bar is the container not the content."

This issue is quite annoying, and has been around for a while, so would be great if it could be fixed!

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

@joaomoreno do we have some master issue for this scrollbar should not show up?

[joaomoreno]

@isidorn This is not an issue with the tree. It's an issue with the view. If you don't want the horizontal scrollbar to overlay the last tree element, you have to make space for the bar. You have to add horizontalScrollbarHeight pixels to the height of the Open Editors view.

Yeah makes sense.
However that would add unneceserry height to the view imho, thus leaving this in the backlog.
