Hi Compose folks,
I’m trying to implement auto-scroll to the bottom in Compose, similar to a standard AI/chat screen. The issue is that with LazyList, it does not seem very reliable:
1. Sometimes scrolling does not happen, probably because the list is still being laid out/drawn (probably).
2. Sometimes it does scroll, but the animation looks ugly.
Does anyone have ideas or a good example of how to implement this properly?

Was also looking forward to an answer for this 🥲

@Orb All I found: run this code after post a new chunk of text:

val totalItems = listState.layoutInfo.totalItemsCount
val lastVisible = listState.layoutInfo.visibleItemsInfo.lastOrNull()
val isNearBottom = lastVisible == null || lastVisible.index >= totalItems - 1

if (isNearBottom && totalItems > 0) {
    listState.requestScrollToItem(totalItems - 1)
}

but it works so so.
