balloons get clipped

I inflate a balloon of a label inside an inflate callback. The balloon gets
clipped at the window edges which is parent of the label. How can I avoid
this?
Thanks

All the Widgets inside the window are clipped to the
window’s region. This is done at the Photon kernel level.
:slight_smile: it is a feature.

To prevent this you would need to give your “balloons” their own
region. That is you would be creating a separate region with a
label widget in it. You would have to handle this all yourself,
but it can be done. Then your balloon could appear anywhere in
Photon space.
