maybe in iOS dragging the scroll bar works.i wasn't sure about this that's why i only wrote Android.
Also in desktop window(on linux) go to code.. the horizontal scroll only works when the vertical scroll is available .. if vertical scrollbar is inactive you cant swipe to scroll.Can't recall what this behaviour is called

I found why this problem occurs and it is because of the drawer.

Specifically because of line 42 from this file : splitview_drawer.dart

The issue occurred because drawerEdgeDragWidth: context.width was set, causing the entire screen width to act as the drawer drag area.

This prevented horizontal scrolling from working properly.

Nice find! I knew this unexpected behaviour is caused due to drawer because when trying to drag the scrollbar the drawer was opening.. bht not why and where

@DenserMeerkat Please review this issue and the associated PRs. Thanks

I would like to point out that when the drawerEdgeDragWidth is set to 0, everything functions as expected. I wanted to raise a PR but i thought it will be better to discuss first

Limiting the drawerEdgeDragWidth to fraction of viewport or to an absolute value is a valid solution and makes the horizontal scrollbar work. But also think about how you can solve the issue of horizontal drag scrolling not working for regions not having text. (Eg: cURL codegen)

Hint: The Column widget should be made to extend to the height of the container in CodeGenPreviewer.

SingleChildScrollView(
  ...
  child: SingleChildScrollView(
    ...
    child: Column(
        ...
      ),
  ),
)

Hey

                  SelectionArea(
                    child: SizedBox(height: context.width,
                      child: Text.rich(
                         ..
                      ),
                    ),
                  ),

Hey @badnikhil , the SizedBox approach might work for your specific screen size and content length, but it introduces layout fragility that will break in other cases.

Here is an example of where it breaks. I was unable to scroll below that as you can see the vertical scrollbar is not visible.

My bad I was expecting overflows... I tested resizing on Linux actually
Truth to be told i tried so many things but couldn't find final 100% working solution
