iOS scrollers

I am still wondering to read issues dealing with rendering layout issues on mobile devices anno 2019 (almost 2020!).

In my opinion this should be an integrated part in the LiveCode engine. From my own experience writing your own geometric routines is never perfect and it has given me a lot of headaches...
It should be no issue anymore when generating desktop, mobile or webapps from one code library with multi-platform support.

If I am wrong then my apologies mention this.

    This is a blocker for us. Adding extra space to the contentRect doesn't 
    work, Swami tested it on a real iPhone 10 and it shows the same issues 
    as the simulator.
    
    If anyone has a workaround I need it real soon now. Meanwhile I'll put 
    in a bug report.
