Make size of UI.Text fit to content without UI.ContentSizeFitter

I want some kind of auto size functionality for the UI.Text element. The ContentSizeFitter seems to do exactly what I am looking except that it won't work if the Text itself is part of a hierarchy where a parent element already contains the ContentSizeFitter component.

The manual writes something about how to "Make children of a Layout Group fit their respective sizes" but even this approach doesn't work for me.



Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to write a custom script that does what I am looking for?

 

Noone knows an answer?

 

Yes, I am trying to make the orange background element automatically resize to also contain the text.

This is the hierarchy:

Window (with Image, ContentSizeFitter and VerticalLayoutGroup)

InnerArea (with Image and LayoutElement [that ignores Layout])
ClientArea (with Image, VerticalLayoutGroup and LayoutElement)

Text (with Text and LayoutElement)
Choice 0 (with Button and LayoutElement)
Choice 1 (with Button and LayoutElement)
Choice 2 (with Button and LayoutElement)
Choice 3 (with Button and LayoutElement)​

I've attached a small test scene wiht this hierarchy so you can see it for yourself if you want.

Edit: I'm using Unity 5.2.0f3 Personal

 

*sigh* So it's not possible without a custom script, right?

 

You have to set "Preffered Size" in Vertical Fit in Content Size Fitter of "Window" instead of "Min Size".

 

@Chichkan: You sir rock! Thank you so much for pointing that out. It works flawlessly.
