Forcing CodeMirror ScrollBars into visibility programmatically

I have a CodeMirror textbox within a jQuery dialog.

For some reason, the CodeMirror scroll bars refuse to show up until a character is typed, even if I resize the window until code in the CodeMirror is covered up.

Is there a hook in the CodeMirror API to programmatically make the show up?

As a note, I have lineWrapping set to false and I am calling CodeMirror's resize event when the jQuery dialog's resize event fires.

    All you need to do is call the setSize(null, null) on your CodeMirror instance.
