I may be confused here, (haven't had my first cup of coffee) but in 
your example, the div displaying the scroll bar has a ul with 20px 
padding on it.  It looks like the browser is doing what you asked.

Every browser has default margin and padding on <ul> and <li> elements. 
  When working with lists I always set both margin and padding to remove 
the variation caused by these differing defaults.
