ScrollViewReader / scrollTo(_:anchor:) not working reliably - swiftui

Question

I've build a ScrollView which contains 0-3 images and a multiline text field in a VStack. I also added a ScrollViewReader inside the scrollview and use it to scroll to the bottom of the text field upon certain events (user starts typing, image collection changes).
The point is: sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it does not work I realized, that when I scroll a little bit by hand and then try again (e.g. typing) it works.
Not sure if this is relevant, but ImageOrPlaceholderComponent first shows a placeholder as long as the image within currentEntryImages is nil, and the image after that (both states imply a change to currentEntryImages and should thus result in scrolling to the bottom of the text field).
NavigationStack {
ScrollView {
ScrollViewReader { scrollview in
VStack {
// Attached images.
AnyLayout(VStackLayout(spacing: 2.5)) {
ForEach(values: currentEntryImages) { entryImage in
ImageOrPlaceholderComponent(image: entryImage)
.clipped()
}
}
// Text field for the entry with toolbar.
TextField("...", text: $entryDTO.text, axis: .vertical)
.id(entryTextFieldAnchor)
.multilineTextAlignment(.leading)
.padding()
.focused($mainTextFieldFocused)
.onAppear { mainTextFieldFocused = true }
// Scroll to the bottom of the text field, when the user is typing ...
.onChange(of: entryDTO.text) { _ in
withAnimation {
scrollview.scrollTo(entryTextFieldAnchor, anchor: .bottom)
}
}
// ... or the entry images have changed.
.onChange(of: currentEntryImages) { _ in
withAnimation {
scrollview.scrollTo(entryTextFieldAnchor, anchor: .bottom)
}
}
}
}
}
}
