Solved ScrollView not working with TextEdit?

[fcarney]

It worked with a 1.x version of the libraries, but 2.x is not letting me use scroll bars correctly. If the text goes off the end of the page it does not allow me to scroll.

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.5

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Scroll")

    ScrollView {
        anchors.fill: parent

        TextEdit {
            width: parent.width

            textFormat: Text.PlainText
            focus: true
            selectByMouse: true

            text: "asdf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nasdf"
        }
    }
}

Updated with scroll bar that worked with other objects like ListView:

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Scroll")

    ScrollView {
        anchors.fill: parent

        ScrollBar.vertical: ScrollBar {
            id: verticalBar
            anchors.top: parent.top
            anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
            anchors.right: parent.right
            hoverEnabled: true
            active: hovered || pressed

            property bool showIt: hovered || pressed

            background: Rectangle {
                implicitWidth: 25
                implicitHeight: 40
                radius: 5
                color: verticalBar.showIt ? "grey" : "transparent"
            }

            contentItem: Item {
                implicitWidth: 25
                implicitHeight: 40
                Rectangle {
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    anchors.topMargin: 6
                    anchors.leftMargin: 4
                    anchors.rightMargin: 4
                    anchors.bottomMargin: 6
                    radius: 10
                    color: verticalBar.showIt ? "#424246" : "transparent"
                }
            }
        }

        TextEdit {
            width: parent.width

            textFormat: Text.PlainText
            focus: true
            selectByMouse: true

            text: "asdf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nasdf"
        }
    }
}

Gahhhh! It looks like I should be using a TextArea now:
