    2018.2.10f1. I've included a scene that shows the problem. I'm trying to wrap text around an image, so I decided to use a linked Text Mesh Pro. When the top component overflows, the bottom should pick it up. The problem is that when it's in a vertical layout the bottom text doesn't update its height to the text it contains.

    I'll try taking a look over the weekend but I am pretty sure using Layout components would linked text would confuse / trip up the whole thing.

    Wouldn't the intended behavior be to have the linked text mesh pro calculate its bounds based off of the characters that overflowed into it?

    If this isn't the case, is there a better way to wrap text around an image inside a layout?

    Thanks for your help.
