This works:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
  xmlns="*">
  <mx:Canvas width="100">
    <mx:List width="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="on">
      <mx:dataProvider>
        <mx:Array>
          <mx:String>This is a really long piece of text.</mx:String>
          <mx:String>This is short.</mx:String>
        </mx:Array>
      </mx:dataProvider>
    </mx:List>
  </mx:Canvas>
</mx:Application>

I'm setting the horizontalScrollPolicy to "on". Can you make it *not*
work (to reproduce your exact case)?
