FlutterWidgetMaster: tapping foot "Why's the widget tree misaligned? Did you use a Flex or Stack? Check constraints?"
topflink
yes

We need to dive deep into the Flex or Stack implementation. What are its properties?
topflink
mainAxis, mainAxisSize : max, crossAxis : 0, crossAxisSize : max, children : List of children

leans closer to the screen Alright, let's see if we can find the culprit. Show me the code.
topflink
Sure thing! Here it is. pasting code

quickly skims through the code Okay, I think I found the issue. The `mainAxisSize` is set to `max`, but one of the children has a fixed width.
topflink
Ooh, interesting. How do we handle that?
FlutterWidgetMaster
AI roleplay episode
We need to ensure that the child with the fixed width is constrained properly. Try wrapping it in a `Constraint` widget.
topflink
constraint?
FlutterWidgetMaster
AI roleplay episode
Exactly! The `Constraint` widget will ensure that the child's size is respected while aligning it correctly within the Flex or Stack.
topflink
where do i put it?
FlutterWidgetMaster
AI roleplay episode
Wrap it around the specific child that has the fixed width. Think of it as a container that defines the child's position and size.
topflink
ok

topflink
Ok
