As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to …
To have automatically scaled ScrollingFrame’s when using padding in any form (UIPadding or the Padding property on UIGridLayout/UIListLayout/etc)
I have it set to automatically scale to the Y
However, since I have UIPadding and padding on the UIGridLayout, it cuts off UI at the bottom
Becomes more pronounced as I add more objects
The AutomaticCanvasSize should take into account all of these properties, not just the CellSize. I’d imagine it’d take into account just the AbsoluteContentSize for the grid/list layouts, but that doesn’t seem to be the case, so I’m unsure how this property works exactly, as AbsoluteContentSize does take into account the padding listed in the grid/list layouts, but not the seperate UIPadding instance
If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because …
I could make ScrollingFrame’s with ease, without having to create a janky function to scale the CanvasSize
This feature request was made 11 months ago, still no response. Is this on the roadmap? I just ran into this today, and quite frankly, its infuriating.
Could we actually have some sort of response to this? Roblox has this beautiful UI editor, with so many properties that exist for the sole purpose of making UI easy (including AutomaticCanvasSize!). I shouldn’t have to script this myself.
Automatic sizing not respecting padding is a bug; it’s not sizing properly to encompass the contents. You should confirm this still occurs and post the bug report.
I haven’t experienced any issues with AutomaticCanvasSize not respecting UIPadding. I have read elsewhere that people have issues with it specifically when using UIScale, which may be the case here? Either way, this is for sure a feature already and if you’re experiencing issues you need to file a bug report.
I mean like if you have enough elements in your grid/list that it goes out of the frame, then with AutomaticCanvasSize they will get cut off if you scroll all the way down.
There is a video of me scrolling down to the bottom of a grid layout that uses cell padding as well as UIPadding inside a scrolling frame. The canvas size is done through automatic canvas size. How many elements does it take before this becomes inaccurate? This seems to be perfectly accurate so far at 50,000 items.
