[BUG] Panel inside Layout being cut off

[gary-conlon]

• I've checked docs and closed issues for possible solutions.
• I can't find my issue in the FAQ.

Describe the bug

When rendering a panel inside a layout the content of the panel is cut short. The bottom border of the panel is still drawen.

When printing the panel itself everything appears good.

Note below render group can be replaced with a big string that would take up a lot of the terminal

render_group = Group(
                     "[bold underline]Description[/]\n",
                     description_markdown,
                     "\n[bold underline]Acceptance Criteria[/]\n",
                     acceptance_criteria_markdown,
                     "\n[bold underline]Release Notes[/]\n",
                     release_notes_markdown)

left_panel = Panel(render_group, width=80)

layout = Layout()

layout.update(left_panel)

console.print(layout)

Platform

Mac, Warp terminal, Pycharm terminal

I may ask you to copy and paste the output of the following commands. It may save some time if you do it now.

I'll need code to reproduce the issue before I can help you. Screenshots would also help.

left_panel = Panel(big_text, width=80)

layout = Layout()

layout.update(left_panel)

console.print(layout)
console.print(left_panel)

In this code you can see the difference:

Last paragraph of printing layout

Last paragraph of printing the panel by itself

You can see above the "Vestibulum.." is cut off for the layout

Does the Layout only apply to the available terminal space? If so how would I then have 2 of these panels side by side.

[willmcgugan]

The Layout class is designed to divide the visible area in the terminal into parts. It can never be taller than the terminal. If you put content in there that won't fit, it will be clipped. Not sure what you are implementing, but maybe a Table would work?

[gary-conlon]

The image below I had to hide a lot of sensitive data.

I originally had a layout with 2 panels like this.

Although the layout was being cut off if any field in here was too long.

Could I use a table in a similar format to this?

I have the render group that has text, panels and markdown

The below is a Jira issue viewer for the terminal. So needs to display certain data.

[willmcgugan]

A Table will generate similar results, but it can grow beyond the height of the terminal. Create a Table and call add_row with your two columns.

[gary-conlon]

Thanks I will give that a go tomorrow. That's my issue sorted thanks.

Rich is amazing btw, I'm using it so much now. Great work 🙂

[gary-conlon]

Tables worked nicely, only thing different is that it removed the smooth panel border but im fine with that

[github-actions]

I hope we solved your problem.
