How do you set the correct size for custom tooltips?

Question

I am trying to set up custom tooltips for spells in my game. I am overloading the _make_custom_tooltip(from_text: String) -> Object method and returning an instance of a PackedScene containing the tooltip node tree.

When the tooltip is added to the scene tree, the height of the PopupPanel is about 40% taller than my render resolution.

This is my scene structure alongside what the tooltip should look like, populated by dummy data.

I have tried setting the PopupPanel’s StyleBox to a StyleBoxEmpty, but that doesn’t fix the issue. Looking through the other StyleBox types I couldn’t see anything that can adjust the size.

Solved this one. The little hazard sign next to the description label should have been a bit of a hint. Because I had automatic text wrapping enabled on that label, it needs a custom minimum size. After setting one, the tooltip displayed correctly.

It is a bit weird that setting a minimum stops it from growing too large but oh well.

I’m having the same problem and it appears that depending on the number of lines wrapping the sizing is completely off. Do you mind showing how your updated layout is structured? I have the exact same problem and it just seems like even with in sizes on the wrapping labels, the engine fails to size these panels correctly. If I go back to no line wrapping everything is great.

The only change needed was to set a custom minimum size on the labels that have automatic wrapping.
