How to limit scroll area height?

[yusdacra]

When i'm using a scroll area with .auto_shrink([false, false]), the scroll area covers all of the available height, leaving no space for widgets added to the bottom of it. How can i make it so that the bottom widgets limit the height of the scroll area?

You will probably have to put the ScrollArea inside a container. I’ve used it in a CentralPanel with other controls in a TopBottomPanel.

I believe the ScrollArea respects the size of other widgets when they request a minimum size from the layout allocator.

I also have it in a CentralPanel, like so:

        egui::CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
            ui.with_layout(
                Layout::from_main_dir_and_cross_align(egui::Direction::LeftToRight, egui::Align::Center),
                |ui| {
                    ui.vertical(|ui| {
                        self.view_messages(state, ui);
                        ui.separator();
                        self.view_composer(state, ui, ctx);
                    });
                },
            );
        });

view_messages is a method that creates a ScrollArea, and view_composer is a method that creates a multiline text input. What I want to have is the ScrollArea should get smaller if the text input gets larger, eg. more lines are created, but instead what happens is the text input overflows the bottom of the screen.
