Description

Description

When using minWidth on a horizontally scrolling ScrollView, the scrollable content does not allow scrolling all the way to the end. Replacing minWidth: 500 with a computed width: Math.max(width * 0.9, 500) resolves the issue, making the full content scrollable.

Steps to reproduce
  1. open the snack reproducer
  2. run on a device with viewport width < 500 (e.g. Pixel 8)
  3. try to scroll to the end to observe the last item being cut off

Research direction

Start with the mandatory Snack reproducer and the ScrollView behavior described for Android and iOS. Compare horizontal scrolling with minWidth: 500 against the computed width workaround, and consider the issue done when the final item is fully reachable on devices with a viewport narrower than 500.
