GroupWidget scrolling issue?

[matkuki]

Hi,

I have a GroupWidget. If there is no set max-height for the widget like so:

with flx.HBox(padding=0, spacing=0, flex=1):
    with flx.GroupWidget(title="TEST", style="overflow: scroll;") as self.gc:
        pass

... which I add flx.Labels to it at runtime. The problem is, the bottom part of the widget get's cut and the contents get covered on the right side by the scrollbar, like so:

Setting the max-height to something lower than what can optically be judged on the screen fixes the bottom cutting out issue, but I do not wish to try to eyeball the height every time.

What is the correct way to use a GroupWidget with scrolling, so that these issues are are not a problem?

Thanks

Imho a scrollable GroupWidget doesn't make any sense. Why would you want that?

I use it to show what reports were generated. And it looks quite nice.
Could I use something else and make it look like a GroupWidget, with the frame and title text?

I also tried a VFix and VBox instead, but they have a different problem, as described in #583.

Lists of stuff should be in some sort of listbox imho or a grid maybe. I am somewhat surprised there is no listbox in the default widget set (See e.g. #538), but there are plenty of ways I guess. The most obvious one being just a scrollable widget within the GroupWidget.. or creating an <ul> widget: something like this for example http://bit.ly/2MkKFtd? Disclaimer: IANAWD

One way around this is to put a flx.Widget inside the flx.GroupWidget, and then adding all the labels to the flx.Widget instead of the flx.GroupWidget.
