most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:20 PMDamn - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:20 PMwait I forgot to build the xml - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:20 PMyeah 🙂 - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:21 PMlet me see if I get the same result as in my other bigger project - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:21 PMsomething that is strange though, is if i do the link the xml, the dropdown displays, but not the options - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:21 PMprecisely - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:21 PMThat was what I was trying to showcase - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:21 PMright - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:22 PMDoes it have anything to do with adding the dropdown directly? Instead of inside a bigger component? - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:22 PMbecause I just ran your component-explorer project and it works fine - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:24 PMstrange, if you wrap it in a hbox (or anything) then it works... so something wrong with dropdowns being the "root" component - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:24 PMcant really think of why that would be an issue tbh - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:24 PMwill investigate - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:24 PMI just tested it and it actually worked in this separate project... but I wrapped it in a vbox - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMCopy codexml <hbox> <dropdown id="debugCombo" text="Debug Widgets"> <data> <item text="Performance" /> <item text="Display List" /> <item text="Display List" /> <item text="Display List" /> <item text="Display List" /> <item text="Display List" /> </data> </dropdown> </hbox> - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMYeah, that worked for me - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMthats fine, but not when the dropdown is the root... which is kinda wacky - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMIt being the root was how I discovered the issue - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMAnd there seems to be another issue as well - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMBut his one you might already be aware of - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:25 PMlet me show you - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:26 PMBasically when a smaller options (then the default text) is selected, the selections get scaled weirdly - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:27 PMThis is openfl target I just built locally - b
bright-gpu-74537
05/01/2022, 9:27 PMopenfl + fliters - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:27 PMYeah, I remember that you already aware of that one - m
most-caravan-45834
05/01/2022, 9:28 PMThat was difficult to fix because of the way openfl is set up - b
