Description

Originally by @Ansku


By default, when you add a Button (or any other component that is higher than default text) to a Grid header cell, the bottom of that Button will get cut off, making it look like a tab instead. It's possible to give the header a fixed height that goes around this problem, but there doesn't seem to be any way to treat the height as undefined, so that it would adjust to the contents.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a Grid header cell containing a Button or another component taller than default text. Inspect the Grid header sizing behavior and any related tests or entry points you locate. Done means the header height adjusts to its contents without cutting off the component, while fixed-height headers continue to work.
