Seems my issue could be the same thing that's causing this issue, as I would assume that sheets in SwiftUI are just SheetViewController under the hood in UIKit. Crossposting a similar bug that appears on SwiftUI on the latest version of iOS too 16.4. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/729197.

In case anyone stumbles across this thread in the future, I received feedback from Apple in my bug report in feedback assistat and am happy to report this bug is no longer an issue in iOS 17.4.1. 🎊

For those that are here in late 2025 - I ran into a similar issue. Ultimately the solution for me, which may or may not be applicable to you is to use a LazyHStack instead of a HStack. So now the snippet looks like this: struct ContentView: View { let colors: [Color] = [.red, .yellow, .cyan, .blue, .teal, .brown, .orange, .indigo] @State private var selected: Int? = 0 var body: some View { ScrollView(.horizontal) { LazyHStack(spacing: 0) { ForEach(0..<colors.count, id: \.self) { index in Rectangle() .fill(colors[index]) .containerRelativeFrame(.horizontal) .overlay { Text(colors[index].description) } } } .scrollTargetLayout() } .scrollPosition(id: $selected) .scrollTargetBehavior(.viewAligned) } } and it performs like this: [Tested iOS 26.0, Xcode Version 26.0.1 (17A400)] I'm not exactly sure why this happens, best theory I've found is this. Ultimately the workarounds are switch to a LazyHStack or save scroll position and then reapply it in an onChange like the post suggests or an onReceive like so: .onReceive(NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: UIDevice.orientationDidChangeNotification))
