Stellaris - [3.1.1] [22a5] gridBoxType elements missing parent container and scrollbar property

[MonzUn]

Would getting a built in scroll bar for the gridboxes solve all/most of the issues?

I know the scroll bars on these elements have been problematic and I think that's why our approach to them changed at some point.

There has been some talk about trying to revive those scroll bars and we'd have a bigger incentive to do that if it would be of much help to the modding community.

We always have to prioritize with the time we have and there is always way more work than time and this is something that could eat up a bit of time, so knowing the value helps getting priority right

No, thank you! That's an EXTENSIVE answer!
It's great to know what problems you currently face so that we can take that into account when considering solutions, otherwise we might just end up with something that works for vanilla. I've linked this post in the internal ticket we have for investigating the gridbox scroll bars.

Another question though!
Do you need both horizontal and vertical ones?
Very unlikely to get to use both at the same time for the same element, but one at a time might be possible.

OK, thanks for the clarification

As always though, no promises or estimates on when it can be done, but it is something I will try to push as it would resolve a handful of other pesky UI issues we have as well and I see that it would be very beneficial to UI modders!
