The ScrollPane documentation states:
  If the scrollbar display policy is defined as "never", then the scrollpane
  can still be programmatically scrolled using the setScrollPosition() method
  and the scrollpane will move and clip the child's contents appropriately.

The application below brings up a scrollpane with the scrollbar display
policy SCROLLBARS_NEVER, and attempts to scroll it using setScrollPosition().
getScrollPosition() continues to return (0,0) after setScrollPosition() is
invoked.

  policy SCROLLBARS_NEVER
