Description

The current documentation states that if the ShowSelectionMargin property is set to true, setting the ScrollBars property to RichTextBoxScrollBars.Horizontal, RichTextBoxScrollBars.Vertical, or RichTextBoxScrollBars.Both will not cause scroll bars to be displayed.

However, in Visual Studio, even with ShowSelectionMargin set to true, the scroll bars are still displayed when ScrollBars is set to Both, Vertical, or Horizontal. VS2019 and 2022 both having the same behavior.

Suggestion: Maybe the documentation can be updated to reflect the actual behavior observed in Visual Studio.
