Placing renderables on Containers within containers results in strange positioning of them.

[wpernath]

Describe the bug If you have containers inside containers, both with floating=true and/or false, the positions of displayable components like texts, images or sprites are sometimes weird.

Use Case: I have a state / stage, which has a full screen (floating = true) transparent background container. On top of that container I am adding several other non floating containers with buttons and text inside (for example a level chooser component).

BackgroundContainer(0,0,1000,700); MenuContainer(5, 100, 900, 700); CentralContainer(50, 100, 800, 300); BitmapText(5, 5); Sprite(100, 5);

At the end I am expecting that BitmapText will be rendered at (absolute) position of (x=60, y=200). Right now it will be rendered outside of its CentralContainer, although floating is set to false on all containers except BackgroundContainer.

I agree that adding a component to a (deeply) nested container is a costly action, but I'd need it only for menu states, not for in-game states.

Container.updateBounds() does not do the trick. Even if I have set ´Container.enableChildBoundsUpdate=true`

So it's either a bug in component placement or I it's too late today and I can't see where my mistake is.

Expected behavior Adding components like Sprites, Images, Texts should respect their container's boundaries and relative positions, even if there are nested containers.
