TListBox is based on the underlying OS widget for each platform, and 
offers the common features of the supported widgetsets (any restrictions 
are noted on the Restricted page of the Object Inspector). Lack of a 
widgetset feature is simply that: a missing feature in the widgetset. It 
is not a Lazarus bug.
Another alternative to provide scrolling for components that do not have 
it built-in, is to place the component on a scrolling container which is 
what TScrollBox (Additional page of the component palette) is designed for.
