Unless you explicitly set the height and width of a container, it will automatically measure to include all of it's children; with no scroll bars. This is a good thing in some situations. If you want the scroll bars to show up, set the dimensions. clipContent is an entirely different animal; and provides interesting reading in the help docs.
