The scroll pane internally will compare its own height (minus insets) with its content height, and determine if vertical (or horizontal) scroll bar needs to be shown. If the values being compared are even slightly off (by a few ulp's in floating point terms) then it may conclude a scroll bar should be shown when it should not be.
