scrollToBottom

[edianogama]

Describe the bug
Hello again Fayeed.
I really liked the UI, so I don't want to abandon it. But I have a problem.

How can I disable scrollToBottom ?

 return DashChat(
                  key: _chatViewKey,
                  user: user,
                  scrollToBottom: false,

When set scrollToBottom to false, nothing happens, the button keeps appearing;

Why am i wanting this?
Because when sending messages, sometimes a bug happens and it can't go to the bottom of the automated scroll.
And The distance it disappears from the footer is too short and I couldn't adjust this part.

When the keyboard is open and I send a message, the scroll does not reach the end.

If there is any way to get the down button only halfway up the screen, it would be ideal for me.

Thank you for your attention.

The scrollToBottom widget always appears because it isn't checked whether to show that thing in this line:

dash_chat/lib/src/chat_view.dart

Line 293 in bda884a

if (this._overlayEntry == null) {

It is always created and stays on top of everything even if you leave the chat screen in my app.

I created my own instance of the chat view and fixed it by adding:

if (this._overlayEntry == null && widget.scrollToBottom) {

This is working for me, as I needed to change a few other things in my app (like stopping the chat input to disappear out of viewport when inside a tabbarview). Maybe the author could provide a fix for that in a next release :)

@edianogama Just updated the package to version 1.0.5, it includes the solution @Vidar88 mentioned and also includes some more fixes to the UI and performance improvements. And also added a better example in the example/ folder.

@Vidar88 Hi, thank you very much for your response to the topic and for passing the solution.
And Thanks to the @fayeed for placing the adjustment. I upgraded here and it worked!

I am using package version 1.0.15 and it seems the problem is back. The scrollToBottom widget stays on top of everything even when I leave the chat screen.
