Can't get ScrollView to scroll over a dynamically defined area inside a fixed area

Questions & Answers

I am writing a number of messages to a fixed area (a console) which I wish to be able to scroll up and down to view the message history.

        // Console color
        GUI.color = new Color(1f, 1f, 1f, 0.5f * consoleAlpha);

        GUILayout.BeginArea(consoleRect, consoleStyle);
        consoleViewPoint = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(consoleViewPoint, false, true);
        GUILayout.BeginVertical();
        GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();

        // Message color
        GUI.color = new Color(1f, 1f, 1f, 1f * consoleAlpha);

        // Messages
        foreach (var message in messages)
        {
            GUILayout.Label(message.Key + " " + message.Value, consoleMessageStyle);
        }

        GUILayout.EndVertical();
        GUILayout.EndScrollView();
        GUILayout.EndArea();

With this setup the messages fill the fixed area correctly but the scroll view does not allow me to scroll inside the fixed area to view its content.

Where am I going wrong?

Bumping this as I still haven’t discovered a solution.

The following method doesn’t appear to work in my scenario either: Editor - GUILayout.BeginArea does not expand ScrollView - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions.
