Hey all is there any way for a

Box

to stop constraining its children? I just want them to overflow when I

offset(x,y)

them or size them

Box(Modifier.size(256.dp)) {
    Box(Modifier.border(2.dp, Color.Red).size(512.dp)) {
    }
}

The inner box always gets constrained to the outer box which I don’t want, but I do want all the cool things about the box such as

Alignment

I just don’t want it to constrain children size, any ideas? 🙂

You can achieve that by appending

wrapContentSize(unbounded=true)

modifier to the chain of the outer Box's modifiers:

Box(Modifier.size(256.dp).wrapContentSize(unbounded=true)) {
    Box(Modifier.border(2.dp, Color.Red).size(512.dp)) {
    }
}

ah nice one!
