Big gap in horizontal uicollectionview using orthogonalScrollingBehavior

As the title suggests I face weird bug (at least I did not expect that) where my items in my collection view have big gap like in this picture enter image description here

I am using orthogonalScrollingBehavior from new compositional layout API this is my code

let itemSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .absolute(100), heightDimension: .fractionalHeight(1))
let item = NSCollectionLayoutItem(layoutSize: itemSize)
item.contentInsets = NSDirectionalEdgeInsets(top: 8, leading: 8, bottom: 8, trailing: 8)
        
let groupSize = NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .fractionalWidth(1), heightDimension: .absolute(200))
let group = NSCollectionLayoutGroup.horizontal(layoutSize: groupSize, subitems: [item])
        
let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
section.orthogonalScrollingBehavior = .continuous
return section

I was expecting that the only gap between them is made by contentInsets. Please help if you know the answer or the reason why this happens

same happening to me, maybe it's a bug since if visible cell widths are fitting the content width, then it does not get this annoying spacing. trying to find a workaround.

I had the same problem. Try to use widthDimension: .estimated(1) for the group NSCollectionLayoutSize. Example:

func makeTestLayoutSection() -> NSCollectionLayoutSection {
    let item = NSCollectionLayoutItem(layoutSize: NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .absolute(400), heightDimension: .absolute(500)))
    let group = NSCollectionLayoutGroup.horizontal(layoutSize: NSCollectionLayoutSize(widthDimension: .estimated(1), heightDimension: .absolute(500)), subitems: [item])
    let section = NSCollectionLayoutSection(group: group)
    section.orthogonalScrollingBehavior = .continuous
    return section
}

Tested on tvOS 15.0
