Nested Flexible Auto-Layout Inconsistency

[Arcfalt]

Hi, I've run in to an interesting issue in a quite specific case with using the new auto size filling flexible functionality with the layout tools that was introduced recently, where a ui block will expand to the incorrect width when both axis are set to expand when inside another ui block that is having its width flexibly filling a parent auto layout.

It's easy to replicate, so I will try to explain it with pictures so you can try it on your end. (And to make sure it's not just something obvious I'm missing!)

First, I set up a basic two panel window, with one panel a fixed width and one panel set to expand to parent:

Then the right panel is set as a y axis auto layout and some blocks, that are set to expand to parent width but are of fixed height, are put under it:

However, when one of these child blocks are set to expand to parent height, their width is set to the width of the what the parent width would be if it was fully 100% width of the window, not just filling the remaining space:

If we then turn expand to parent height back off, but leave the percentage set manually to what would actually fill the height, it works correctly even though the values are the same, the height just isn't being calculated automatically. The width percentage stays the same despite the issue going away:

Hopefully this is enough to replicate it on your end, or to let me know if it's something I'm doing wrong or if you need any extra info. Thanks!

You're not doing anything wrong. This is definitely a bug on our end :)

Thank you for bringing this to our attention along with the screenshots and clear steps to reproduce the issue - very much appreciated!

We'll be sure to include the fix for this issue in the next asset update.

In the meantime, if you'd prefer to patch it locally rather than wait, you can replace the code on line 163 in InternalScript_330.cs with the following:

bool3 InternalVar_4 = InternalParameter_3554.InternalProperty_354.InternalProperty_178;

So the diff will look like this:

float3 InternalVar_3 = InternalParameter_3554.InternalProperty_364.InternalProperty_120;

- bool3 InternalVar_4 = InternalType_187.InternalField_548;
+ bool3 InternalVar_4 = InternalParameter_3554.InternalProperty_354.InternalProperty_178; 

if (InternalVar_1)
{

The fix for this has just been published in v1.3.0!
