Hi. I am new to this amazing engine so I will make some stupid questions.
For now I have just one. I try to change LineEdit width through the inspector and through gdscript but nothing happens. Width remains 250. Is it normal this and we cannot change it or I do something wrong?
AFAIK, there is no “width” property in LineEdit. You can set the width with the left/right margins or the rect_size property (which sets the margins). You can also change the rect visually by dragging the handles in the viewport.
If this doesn’t work, I would guess something else is constraining the size (perhaps it’s in a container?)
Thanks for the answer. As i said i am new :). I wrote width but i ment the size property, the first value. It cannot be changed when it is less than 250. The same happens when i try to do it visually. It doesnt get smaller when it reaches 250.
Yes it is in a container but the container uses all the screen. Should i remove it?

i found out that if i use a font then i cannot resize it.
You should use Min Size property in Rect tab in inspector. Set X value to what you would like to. The maximal width can be fixed or not depending on whether flag Expand To Text Length is toggled.
