Microsoft decided to design their list control so that the scrollbar just pops up on top of anything that's in the list, so that means I would have to add padding on the right side to prevent the overlap. The scrollbar is only shown when using a mouse though - it is not shown if you use your finger. My concern is if I move over the text to not be covered by the scrollbar, it starts look unusual when there is no scrollbar there (i.e. when not using a mouse), as it's so far in from the edge. Microsoft provided no way to know when the scrollbar is displayed that I can find (to dynamically respond to its presence) and there is no option to allocate a fixed amount of space for the scrollbar unless I make it visible even when the list can't be scrolled. So I'm not sure what to do about this. Note that if you just use the mouse wheel to scroll, then you don't have to worry about the scrollbar covering anything, and if you move your mouse away from the scrollbar, it will hide itself automatically.
