Description

I am seeing inconsistent clipping behavior in UICollectionViewCell when presenting a context menu by long press on a subview that uses UIGlassEffect.

Summary of behavior:

Long-pressing a normal view inside a UICollectionViewCell presents the menu correctly (no clipping).

Long-pressing a view wrapped in UIVisualEffectView using UIGlassEffect causes the sub-view with glass effect to be clipped at the cell’s bounds.

clipsToBounds = false is set on:

the cell
the cell’s contentView

This behavior is reproducible and appears to be specifically related to UIGlassEffect.

Thanks for the post, this is very interesting, do you have a focused sample I can download and see the code and how it behaves.

What version of Xcode are you using and what device iOS version is it running?

Have you set on both the cell clipsToBounds = false on both the cell and its contentView? Is it embed the inside a container view? Have you disabled the Liquid Glass in the info.plist to see the difference?

I think with a focused simple project will help me understand and will help other developers see what you are seeing and what code is producing this.
