scrollToBottom about dash_chat

[Vidar88]

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.
