Hello. I would like to use scrrolview, but I am having problems. First, I create a minimal scrollview in a new project, duplicate the [item] node under Content and rename each text as follows. I think there is an item somewhere in scrrolview that sets the spacing of the nodes under content. But no matter how hard I look for it, it is not there. The “test-list” scene in the Demo UI of the Examples project also uses scrrolview and does not have this problem.
