Allow split container to be smaller than children

+1 vote

I have a HSplitContainer with some nested containers on the left side and eventually a LinkButton. The LinkButton displays an absolute file path, so it gets rather long.

I want to be able to shrink the left side, which would hide parts of the LinkButton. However, I cannot move the dragger of the SplitContainer beyond the LinkButton.

In other words, the LinkButton determines the size of the SplitContainer.

How to fix this?

Here's the hierarchy
Here's what it looks like

I'm looking for a solution to this problem as well. Any chance you solved this?

A workaround for your case might be to use a clickable label and set the clip_text property to true. I tested that and it works but it's not a solution for all the other controls I have.
