Using compartments with labels and buttons and in an elk-layouted graph [message #1860752]

Hello!

I am trying to create a sprotty graph of computer science concepts for a project at my university. I am slowly getting the hang of sprotty, but I can't layout the nodes the way I like, because when I add labels inside of compartments (like in the class-diagram example), the nodes don't resize to the size of the labels any more. Nodes don't seem to respond to the layout: 'hbox' tag, so the labels and expand buttons are just shown below each if they are not in a compartment.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just not supported? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, hard to say without seeing an example. Do you have a link to a public repo?

I don't have a public repo, but I edited the random-graph example and attached the relevant files to show what I mean. The text just continues outside the node.
If I put the labels inside of a node instead of a compartment it does get somewhat layouted, but it adds padding and the layouting of the button gets weird. I think the button is never really considered? It isn't mentioned in elk-layout in any case. I have also tried giving it the type node:button:expand, but then it again gets a lot of padding and moves below the labels.

Thank you for your quick answer!
