First I created a component of the Description header and paragraph text and then I added in the calendar. Whenever i select the component the square only goes around the text part. I unchecked and then checked the clip content box and nothing works. 

 

 

At the first the purble box was going over the “Event Managment” also in the beginning but i was trying to fix it to go over the calendar too but it didnt work and made it now go less.

I know i could start over on this component but i thought about it and there going to be times where i create a component and then i might want add something to the original component like a calendar icon for this example. So I want know how to create a component correctly and add in something correctly and when i select the component the purple square goes over the whole thing.

You can add auto layout to your component or just click Resize to fit

Perfect it worked thank you so much. I wonder why figma does this or makes it to where you have to click on Resize to fit.

Designer don’t always want to have a frame size that fits its content, sometimes paddings are need to be added. So it's pretty useful to be able to choose a frame size by yourself, but not automatically by its content.
