Child doesn't get clipped if width/height is 100%

Thanks for reporting. This one is a known limitation actually, and the reasoning is the same as with absolutely positioned elements which has been reported previously: #235. This situation is also exactly why we introduced clip: always. In my view, that is a reasonable solution to such situations.

If we instead made it so that transforms could affect layout, performance would suffer a great deal, particularly when combined with animations. I'm sure there are some ways we could potentially work around it, without the performance degradation in all situations. But it's not something I can prioritize right now.

note that I'd love for there to be a generic player that we could use just to drag .rml files into and preview them instantly.

That's a cool idea, I like it.

Ah, okay, that makes sense! I tried to search for this issue but my keywords weren't finding it. If it's intentional, I would just close this issue then; could we add a note on either https://mikke89.github.io/RmlUiDoc/pages/cpp_manual/animations_transforms.html or https://mikke89.github.io/RmlUiDoc/pages/rcss/animations_transitions_transforms.html ? These are the two pages I referred to to see if I was missing some sort of limitation about transform, I imagine most people will look there first too.

A player executable would be super useful, yeah. I've gotten mileage out of loaddocument but it's still pretty limited. Would be neat to be able to just make a zip containing .rml/.rcss/.tga files and be able to drag it into the player, and just posting that zip on github when reproducing bugs (or just a single .rml file if the player supports base64 URIs for embedding images)

Good idea, this should be better documented indeed. I've made some notes in the above commit.

Thanks for the suggestion, that would be quite neat, I've made a note of it for now.

Closing this one, as I believe it has been resolved with the updated documentation.
