Scrollbars have the potential to slightly alter the appearance of repeating groups. For example, scrollbars occupying space on the right side of a repeating group can subtly shrink the width of its contents, potentially causing items to flow into additional rows unexpectedly.
Currently, this variability is the best way for us to balance upholding the visual appearance of elements in Bubble apps across all potential end-user devices, however our engineering team will certainly explore options to improve this behavior in the longer term.
In the meantime, effective workarounds for this behavior include changing the repeating group type or changing the repeating group's design to provide additional space for the right side scrollbar.
