LazyRow has a contentPadding argument, but Row doesn't (even though you can make Row scrollable).

Why is that? Or is there another way you're "supposed" to apply contentPadding in a Row?

[Chris Sinco [G]]

I think just Modifier.padding passed in is the way. I don't know the specifics for LazyRow/Column but maybe @Andrey Kulikov can add insight

Yeah, standard padding modifier will work. Note that if your row is scrollable and you want the behavior of `LazyRow`’s contentPadding, you need to put the padding modifier after horizontalScroll() modifier.

Cool. I wonder why they went ahead and added contentPadding specifically for LazyRow then?

[Albert Chang]

Because in LazyRow you can’t control the order of scroll modifier and other modifiers so the behavior is different.

OooOOooH! Makes sense. Cheers. That's actually super insightful!
