You have completed these steps:
- Read instructions on how to file an Issue
- Searched through main docs http://www.PySimpleGUI.org for your problem
- Searched through the readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
- Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal http://www.PySimpleGUI.com
- Note that there are also Demo Programs under each port on GitHub
- Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
- Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported
- Try again by upgrading your PySimpleGUI.py file to use the current one on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but is not yet on PyPI.

The border and the Frame title gets cut off when placing it inside a column.

Code To Duplicate
import PySimpleGUIQt as sg
print(sg)
print(sg.version)
frame_1 = [

[sg.Ok()],
]
frame_2 = [
[sg.Text("Text 2"), sg.Input()],
[sg.Ok()],
]
col_1 = [[sg.Frame("Frame1", frame_1)]]
layout = [[sg.Column(col_1), sg.Frame("Frame2", frame_2)]]
window = sg.Window("Window1", layout)
while True:
event, values = window.read()
if event == (sg.WIN_CLOSED):
break
