Expected behavior (required)

A list view has been configured to retrieve data from a backend API.
When infinite scroll is disabled, only one call to the backend API is made.
When infinite scroll is enabled, we should have several calls to the backend API when we scroll the list view and reach the end of the list view.

Current behavior (required)

When infinite scroll is enabled, we can see infinite numbers of calls to the backend API, even if the list view is not scrolled.

We can see in the chrome dev tools > Network, all the calls to the backend API. We can see the page number is also increased (expected behaviour but when we scroll the list view).

To Reproduce (required)

https://app.flutterflow.io/project/infinite-scroll-test-lx5wrv

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the project
2. Run test mode
3. Go the Network dev tools and see the multiple calls

Your environment

• Version of FlutterFlow used: 3.3.4
• Platform (e.g. Web, MacOS Desktop): MacOS
• Browser name and version: Chrome and Safari
• Operating system and version (desktop or mobile): MacOS Ventura

It behaves this way because there's no limit on the height of the list view, so it tries to expand indefinitely.

Try this:

• Wrap the ListView in a Container widget. Set some height, e.g. 300px.
• Enable scrolling on the Column.

Then it should work - it'll load only one or two pages at first, and then load additional pages as you scroll.
