<rant - this is not just aimed at the OP>

Please take the time to post a *short*, but complete, example of the 
problem that you are asking for help with.  It is very time consuming to 
put together example scripts to see if I can see the same behaviour, 
especially if I don't have any detailed knowledge of the control that 
you are talking about.  Please read this if you haven't before:

That said, if you're trying to autosize the grid, then I doubt that it 
takes into account any extra space required for any controls that may be 
needed - but we'd have to read the documentation for the underlying Grid 
Control, which on my previous forays I have discovered to be rather 
sparse, leaving us only the underlying source code to unravel to work 
out what is going on.
