Hi there UE experts!

Does anyone know a way to lock the buttons location so it dosen’t move aounrd or be effected by the text size?

Any tip would help!  
Thank You

You could wrap the text in a size box

I’d say there’s no need for an additional widget but it, too, could work, ofc. Flag the direct children of the Horizontal Box `Size` as `Fill` and adjust the value - it represents the percentage of how much space each widget occupies. Eyeballing it:

- Costumes: 0.4
- buttons: 0.15
- Name 0.3

Make sure it adds up to 1.0 for consistency. Tweak as needed.
