Well, I've just tried it, it's definitely better without the warning
but not fixed yet.

The idea of this example is that it will go to the end of the list
every time a new data enters (like in a chat or the log when you're
updating your system, that's the two places I was planning to use
this).

If you see in my example (you can run it using
kde:scratch/apol/kdeqmlviewer if you want) you can see that if the
scrollbar has "interactive: false" it works just fine (or if you
removethe scrollbar, of course), but if you have it there it doesn't
scroll until the end but halfway, like to the end but 6 px.

It seems to be a rounding problem, or something similar, but I really
couldn't find the problem. You can easily see what's happening with
the ListView's debug output:

onContentYChanged: console.log(".......... y: ", contentY)

When I run the file, this is what I get:
.......... y:  260
.......... y:  274
.......... y:  288
.......... y:  274
.......... y:  267
.......... y:  302
.......... y:  288
.......... y:  282
.......... y:  316

Meanwhile, I'll look into this again after your fix and see what I can do...
