I have a series of device “faceplates” which are a flex view and get opened in popups. Previously, I would resize these popups and everything would scale up and down as desired. It works this way in the designer. However, now, at runtime, if I make a popup larger, all the contents stay the same size in the top left corner and any extra space I create is just blank. The root container doesn’t expand or shrink to fill the space.

This was working previously, and I just upgraded to 8.1.17 - is there some sort of bug happening here?

> It seems that the content of popups do not resize since 8.1.16. Most of our popups are flex containers, with their content responsive to the size. Since 8.1.16, the content only resizes if the popup was called with size information present. This applies to the native popup action and scripted popup called. The results appear as follows: This project demonstrates the bug: [PopupTest\_20220503101014.zip](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/y7LllbeiUW4pkeTg0dycZxw1Fjh.zip) (14.0 KB)
