Static wrapping to smaller width in Container width: auto

[aaronst]

Something changed in version 0.6.0 that affects how Static (or maybe Container) widgets set their width. Here's an example:

from textual.app import App, ComposeResult
from textual.containers import Container
from textual.widgets import Button, Static

class Test(App):
    CSS = """
    Container {
        width: auto;
    }
    """

    def compose(self) -> ComposeResult:
        yield Container(Static("A wider static widget."), Button("button"))

Test().run()

Up to and including version 0.5.0, the Container expands so that the Static text displays all on one line. However, since version 0.6.0, the Static text now wraps to the width of the Button. I think this is a bug, but I wanted to start a discussion first in case this was an intentional change in functionality.

The was a change to the auto width calculations, but this is the expected behaviour. If you want the static to not wrap, you can set its width to fit (i.e. width: auto).

Thanks Will.
