Re: Odd issue when subclassing Mx.Widget rather than Clutter.Actor

Hi Nox,

You need to override the paint function to do so and call paint on each 
child.
Only some of the Mx widgets do paint their children, like the containers 
(BoxLayout, Grid, Viewport, KineticScrollView, ScrollView, etc...).

Cheers,
