So if you add the Text object directly to the Canvas, it works, but, if there's a UIComponent in between, it doesn't. Canvas => UIComponent => Text // doesn't work Canvas => Text // works Suggestions: 1) Check question.parent.parent ... is it pointing to the Canvas? 2) Compile with -debug and see if you're getting a runtime error (and see the stack trace) 3) Are you overriding measure() in your UIComponent? If not, at least set its width and height explicitly.
