Sorry for the inconvenience, we are currently working to fully resolve this issue.

Was working on a small info GUI for a community place and ran into this bug and found this post.
First, a few things I noticed not noted in the past posts that might be helpful:
- If you update the GUI object so the scaling fixes itself, the scaling will be correct even if you then make the GUI invisible again and toggle it back, until the player resets.
- The GUI elements can still correct themselves if the player changes their window size, though not always (wasnât really able to figure out why it worked sometimes on all elements, and sometimes one would remain missized)
- The same issue seemed to happen in studio sometimes too? Iâd occasionally have to re-parent the GUIs to where they were supposed to be for them to adjust their size, but it wasnât consistently happening enough for me to notice any real pattern.
- AutomaticSize elements seem to freak out and miscalculate to be way too big when put onto a scrolling frame.
And then finally, my quick fix for any devs being affected by the problem, a small function resizing the direction that is set to automatic from 0 to 1 whenever that part of the GUI becomes visible is a fairly quick and easy solution, albeit not very elegant. Might also not be too practical with some of the more complexly structured GUIs people make.
[Edit: I should note this doesnât work for the AutomaticCanvasSize problem also mentioned, but toggling it on and off works for it]
The issue with AutomaticCanvasSize mentioned above is still happening even today, I hope you guys fix it soon.

AutomaticSize is still bugging out
In this case Iâm setting the frame to be visible then changing the size to Udim2.new(0, 1, 0, 1) to force it to update. Before it worked fine but recently it has become broken againâŚ

This feature (AutomaticSize) also does not work properly with RichText enabledâŚ

AutomaticSize doesnât work too, I have to set it to None, then set it to X again for it to refresh

Iâve been having this issue for months, and I have just seen this forum post. When is this going to be fixed? Itâs still affecting many games including mine.

Please provide us with an update. This is supposed to be a live, fully-functioning featureâitâs been broken for months (if you dare set your guis Visible propertyâŚ)

Iâm also still experiencing this issue with AutomaticSize.

It appears to work just fine when you use pixels, just not with scale.
It would be nice to have it so the scale was consistent with the size of the actual viewable frame when it expanded, and for it to work with scale, as right now with scale, even if you use tricks to make the elements the same height when the canvas gets bigger, it still runs the elements off the canvas then eventually they resize.
Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
This is still a major issue for me. I created this hacky fix to temporarily solve the issue while only slightly affecting the most observant users. The hack works by increasing the size by 1 pixel for 2 frames, every time that the object becomes visible.
This code is modified based on @RemoDunks hack in this thread for another similar issue.
local rs = game:GetService("RunService")
local function FixSizingBug(inst)
if inst:IsA("GuiObject") then
local function OnVisibilityChanged()
if inst.Visible then
-- use UISizeConstraint to not mess with any tweens
local resizer = Instance.new("UISizeConstraint")
resizer.MaxSize = Vector2.new(math.ceil(inst.AbsoluteSize.X) + 1, math.ceil(inst.AbsoluteSize.Y) + 1)
resizer.MinSize = resizer.MaxSize
resizer.Parent = inst
-- for some reason it takes 2 frames to take effect
rs.RenderStepped:Wait()
rs.RenderStepped:Wait()
resizer:Destroy()
end
end
inst:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Visible"):Connect(OnVisibilityChanged)
end
end
local function FixGui(gui)
if gui:IsA("ScreenGui") then -- feel free to listen in workspace for SurfaceGui and BillboardGui
gui.DescendantAdded:Connect(FixSizingBug)
for i, v in pairs(gui:GetDescendants()) do
FixSizingBug(v)
end
end
end
game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").ChildAdded:Connect(FixGui)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:GetChildren()) do
FixGui(v)
end
Hi @royee354 , thanks for following-up on this. We have been actively looking into this issue. But the change has also been causing a series of regressions since it touches some basic functions. We are now trying to finalize the fix in a few weeks. Sorry about the delay and we appreciate your patience!

As of 2021-09-16T16:22:37Z, the FFlag UpdateAutomaticSizeWhenSetVisible5 was set to True, which seems to have fixed the bug.
This basic demonstration shows that disabling/enabling the visibility changes the size of the parent container:

Our currency labels use AutomaticSize and have broken today. Readjusting the window snaps them back into the correct size.

I know its an old thread but I just fixed this with this script in the frame:
local frame = script.Parent.List
local layout = frame:FindFirstChildWhichIsA(âUIGridStyleLayoutâ)
local absoluteContentSize = layout.AbsoluteContentSize
frame.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, absoluteContentSize.Y)
layout:GetPropertyChangedSignal(âAbsoluteContentSizeâ):Connect(function()
local absoluteContentSize = layout.AbsoluteContentSize
frame.CanvasSize = UDim2.new(0, 0, 0, absoluteContentSize.Y)
end)
Unfortunately itâs still not fixed in my game.
Could we get an update on this? The issue is still not fixed.
