I have my UI as follows
Its a horizontal layout such that it auto sizes based on the text.
This works great, but I want to make it such that a user can edit the text, and hence it needs to be an input field. I can’t work out any combination of layout components and content size fitters that does the job properly? Adding a layout to the input field works but
There is extra undesired padding
The caret and highlighting show up in the completely wrong place
On Unity 2018.3 with TMP 1.4.1, can upgrade to 2018.4 but not further
Since I made some improvements to the TMP Input Field in terms of its support for Layout Components in the latest releases of the TMP package, I suggest you give a try to the latest release which is version 1.5.0-preview.12 for Unity 2018.4.
This is likely to be the last Preview before going Verified. Preview here is more like a Beta as opposed to Preview like Experimental / not even Alpha. Still beta but not the later.
It is important to respect the warnings as this easily leads to the Layout System getting confused. Normally, if you have a Layout Component on the parents you should not have to use a Content Size Fitter on the TMP Input Field. I believe I have a few posts showing some potential setup for this but I have to look for then on the forum here. A search of recents posts about ContentSizeFitter and TMP Input Field should reveal something.
I’ll look for some example tomorrow and post it if you have not found a solution yet.
