Clipped text while creating tree view using grid

Hi Everyone!

I am building a tree view using GUI and I want some cells to overflow. Like:
| | | |

  • root
    • level1

etc. But I can’t seem to get cells to not clip:

I found a similar issue but the playground with the solutions does not seem to work:

Thanks for the help and I hope y’all are having a beautiful spring or fall day, wherever you are!

There is a demo for turning off clipping. The preview behaves as expected but if you open the playground the control is still clipped:

Sorry about that, the clipping docs aren’t up to date, there’s the clipContent property that also needs to be set to true: Babylon.js Playground (babylonjs.com)

That fixes the issue for a TextBox in a Rectangle but does not appear to do anything for a TextBox in a Grid. :thinking:

Sorry for not following on this earlier. The Grid is a bit of a special case since each one of its cells is a standalone Container and we weren’t passing the property down to them, I fixed it now: Pass clipContent/clipChildren down to Grid’s internal containers by carolhmj · Pull Request #13715 · BabylonJS/Babylon.js (github.com)
