How can I make the child label visible even when it's not within the TextEdit borders?

Question

I have a Label that is a child of TextEdit. Just wondering why the Label hides when it’s not within the boundaries of TextEdit. Is there a checkbox I need to enable. Notice how the green background and text disappear when dragged off the TextEdit.

For consitency I added a Button and a Label as a child. This seems fine.

TextEdit internally sets its clip mode to true so children will be clipped outside of it. You can disable it with this:

extends TextEdit


func _draw() -> void:
	RenderingServer.canvas_item_set_clip(get_canvas_item(), false)

I’m not sure why it’s set to true internally. Disabling it may break some functionality.

Looking at it in the inspector, the clip on flag has no effect for TextEdit. But it does for the other controls. Looks like a bug. Submitted it. See what they say. Thanks.
