<![CDATA[Behaviour of BottomEdge and PageStack]]>Hi guys,

I'm working on my first Ubuntu Touch app but sadly I've been stuck for several days. What I want to achieve is a BottomEdge component that contains a PageStack so that I can push 2 different pages that ask the user for some input. When I push the first Page onto the PageStack, the page's height is reset to 0 after (!) the page's component.onCompleted() method is executed and I can't figure out what's wrong. A more detailed explanation with code snippets is already on StackOverflow:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69292221/behaviour-of-pagestack-bottomedge-ubuntu-components

Maybe someone of you who's familiar with these components can help me out. I read all the relevant documentation but I can't figure out what's wrong.
If this is the wrong place to ask this kind of question, please let me know so I can close or delete it.

Thanks for reading!

Probably you do not need at all pageStack because BottomEdge allow you to display a content that you should be able to set with an url (see ContentUrl in the API doc).

This is just an idea, I never use myself BottomEdge.

I was still getting the same problems after changing this so I tried setting the contentComponent to a Rectangle and nesting the PageStack inside. After this, myStackPage.height no longer resets to 0.

Hope this might help

I think it was designed to hold an element or a Page.
