Hmm, that's too bad. Let me give you an idea how I implemented this in DEPRECATED/candy, maybe you can adapt it. Objects have an intrinsic size and a passive property. The intrinsic size is the "native" size, and for example in the case of a text object, it's the width and height of the text when rendered at the given font and size. The passive property defines whether or not a child influences its parent's intrinsic size. So, for a container, the intrinsic size is the minimum size needed to hold all its active (non-passive) children at their relative positions. For a passive object, its extents are its parent's intrinsic size. For an active object, its extents are its parent's extents. >From the perspective of old candy, to solve your problem above, we're create a container and add to it the text object as an active child, and then add the rectangle object as a passive child whose width and height are 100%.
