Vertical gallery does not show a scroll bar

Hi all, I see that throughout the years many people have had issues with the vertical gallery not showing a scrollbar. Unfortunately, none of the proposed solutions to these past issues have worked for me, so I wanted to ask again!

I have some "text labels" in a vertical gallery. The text I have is a tad bit too long, and extends out of the boundries of the gallery as a result. I set "show scrollbar" to be on, as shown below

Unfortunately, a scrollbar does not show. I have tried several of the fixes online, such as saving and refreshing the page, and creating a new screen and trying there. Another potential fix I found online was to set the "alignment" to "justified", though that does not appear to be an option in powerapps anymore (If I am wrong about this please correct me, it may end up being an easy fix if it is still a feature!).

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Thank you for your time!

Hi @dncmelan - can you send a screenshot or two to illustrate the issue?

Sure thing!

Inside of my container I have a vertical gallery, which you can see the entirety of here. As you can see, some of the text is cut off. Given this, I would hope that a scroll bar would show up on the right hand side of the vertical gallery, but I can't seem to get one to show up

I suspect your Gallery 'Height' is the same height or greater than the 'Template size'?

If so, change the gallery height to Parent.Height.

You should then see the Gallery scroll bar light up.

That's a huge improvement, thank you!

For whatever reason, my template size was set to 90, which is very small. I was able to get the scrollbar to show by ensuring that the template size was above the gallery height. I set the gallery height to be its parents size minus the size of some of the stuff above it.

Obviously, some of my text is still cut off in the example above. I can seemingly fix this by increasing the template size, but that probably is not a good long-term fix because the template size is not growing with the total quantity of text. Do you have any recommendations to dynamically grow the template size along with the text?

Glad that helped! - if you want each gallery row to flex and fit the contents, you will need to use a flexible height gallery as shown below. Just go for the blank layout and then populate with your controls. If you have text controls that flex in height subject to their contents, the respective gallery rows will then do the same.
