As a foreword, the issue may be related to this, however in my issue the CanvasGroup itself isn’t being resized whereas in that post, the CanvasGroup is being resized.
When a CanvasGroup is clipped via ClipsDescendants, the CanvasGroup’s contents aren’t updated properly if the “clipper”'s size is updated.
A layout that you can use to get it to work is the following:
- GuiObject; ClipsDescendants set to true; size 0, 100, 0, 100
- CanvasGroup; size 0, 200, 0, 100
- Any GuiObject; size 0, 200, 0, 100
- CanvasGroup; size 0, 200, 0, 100
Now, to visualize the bug, change the topmost GuiObject’s size to be larger (ie 0, 200, 0, 100).
As you can see, you are left with something like this – the green is the CanvasGroup’s BackgroundColour3, the red is the frame inside of the CanvasGroup
Now, the issue doesn’t fix itself until the CanvasGroup is interacted with (selected in the explorer or the mouse hovers over it).
Note that because the issue fixes itself when the CanvasGroup is first interacted with, it is important that the CanvasGroup isn’t hovered over during the process of creation.
If you do interact with it, you can just duplicate the topmost frame and then delete the original one, and the CanvasGroup will be put back into that weird state. It seems to be per-object.

Repro file:
Once you open up the file, change the size of the frame called “Resize me” to something like 0, 200, 0, 100

Expected behavior
The CanvasGroup’s contents should update whenever its parent is resized
