Looper in a looper is flickering

Hi,

i have a looper1 which shows the name of an item. The looper1 contains a button, when i press the button, the row is expanded and shows additional information. When i press the button again the row is collapsed again and only the name of the item is visible. This works fine.

As loopers don't support edit token controls i added a second looper2. In this looper2 i add buttons to represent the tokens. This works fine too.

But as soon as i expand the row of looper1 the looper2 starts flickering, it disappears and appears again when hovering with the mouse or clicking on looper1 or on looper2. As is said it works fine as long the row of looper1 is collapsed.

So i thought i could make looper2 invisible when expanding looper1 (by the button) and make it visible again when looper1 is collapsed again (also by the button). But this doesnt work neither. The looper2 is always "visible" and flickering.

Do you know this behaviour and how to fix it? Or do you know another way to represent tokens in a looper?

Ok, it was my own stupid fault.

I had to disable the anchoring of the controls which are only visible when the looperrow is expanded. So there were many red borders indicating there are problems with the anchors. This is no problem for the mentioned controls. But there was a control (always visible for the description of the item) whose anchoring caused an overlapping. By fixing the anchor it behaves now as expected.
