Say I wish to create a speech bubble that automatically grows in height based on the text content. I can compose a bubble as a union of a triangle and a rectangle, set it to position absolutely and constrain the components to, say, keep the bubble point at the lower right corner of the bubble.
This works fine if I resize the frame manually, but the constraints don’t hold when the frame resize is caused by auto layout.
Why not?

Let absolute position constraints respond to auto layout

Just wrap the union object in a frame, and set the frame to the desired constraints (left and right, top and bottom).

Actually this should work. Could you record a video or share a link to an example file?
Okay I think it’s the Union that breaks the functionality. If the two components are individual children of the frame, they respond correctly. If combined into a Union, they no longer do.
