What means MinSize() of Entry? about fyne

[andydotxyz]

If you turn off scrolling then the returned minimum size will be different.
Items that have scrolling turned on will always return a minsize that represents the smallest area that is usable.

	// Scroll can be used to turn off the scrolling of our entry when Wrapping is WrapNone.
	//
	// Since: 2.4
	Scroll widget.ScrollDirection

entry.Wrapping = fyne.TextWrapBreak

testE := widget.Entry{
  Text:  "test\r\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\n\r\n",
  MultiLine: true,
  Wrapping:  fyne.TextWrapBreak,
}
s := testE.MinSize()
log.Debug("testE MinSize: %v", s)
testE2 := widget.Entry{
  Text:      "test\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest",
  MultiLine: true,
  Wrapping:  fyne.TextWrapBreak,
}
s = testE2.MinSize()
log.Debug("testE2 MinSize: %v", s)

2024/04/24 11:37:25.843474 DEBG: testE2 MinSize: {36.703125 73.234375}

I turn off scroll of the entry. but, The function of Entry.MinSize() still return same size.

s := testE.MinSize()
log.Debug("testE MinSize: %v", s)

MultiLine: true,
Wrapping:  fyne.TextWrapWord,
}
s = testE2.MinSize()
log.Debug("testE2 MinSize: %v", s)
testTg := widget.NewTextGridFromString("test\r\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\n\r\n")
s2 := testTg.MinSize()
log.Debug("testGrid MinSize: %v", s2)
testTg = widget.NewTextGridFromString("test\r\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\ntest\n\r\n")
s2 = testTg.MinSize()
log.Debug("testGrid2 MinSize MinSize: %v", s2)

I was considering using TextGrid, but it seems unsuitable for a log viewer as it does not support drag and select functionality

No, you didn't turn off scrolling.
