When two components are placed overlapping each other in a Coordinate container, the component on top will block any mouse click events on components below it where it overlaps. This is despite the top component not having any events configured on the parts of the components that overlap the component behind.
In Vision, it didn’t matter if components overlapped each other, if the top component(s) didn’t have events configured, the highest z-order component within the overlapping component which does have event would fire.
Here, the green transparent component is on top and overlaps the “Label” label which has an onClick event configured. In runtime, the onClick event only fires on the left side what isn’t overlapped by the green box. The green box has no configured events on it.
A colleague made a template for a repetitive set of valves, as below, and now the valves either side can’t be clicked (red circled valve is from the template left of the selected, and the pink is from the selected template but is unclickable because of the template to its right which is higher in z-order) because the embedded view’s bounding box covers them… While Perspective is great at a lot of things, some things I really have to question… I’m really not sure it’s quite ready for P&ID layouts I.e. SCADA
There is a way to make it so that the top element gets ignored and when you click, you click on the one underneath. On the top element style, do pointerEvents = none.
