I am having some trouble formatting items in a collection view. How do I set the spacing between elements in a collection view (see the attached file for the XAML) ? I always seem to end up with double spacing. Also how do I get the new items to appear at the bottom of the view? ItemsUpdatingScrollMode="KeepLastItemInView" does not seem to work. As a work around I have tried adding new items to the front of the list. This sort of works, but looks a bit wierd (It does not work on Android by the way) Thanks . 227537-collectionview.txt

I tested it in MAUI 6.0.486, I cannot reproduce this issue. Please share MAUI version. Could you minimize code to just what is needed to reproduce the problem?

Also how do I get the new items to appear at the bottom of the view?

When you need to add items to CollectionView, do you want to scroll to the end of last item?

I need to manually scroll to see the last item

You can create a custom CollectionView, then use handler to call native platform API to scroll the last item. Please refer to this thread.
