Detailed Description

expand_y=True on radios makes them expand horizontally other than vertically

Code To Duplicate

import PySimpleGUI as sg

# these radio boxes also expand horizontally, despite expand_x=False
radio1 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue", expand_y=True)
radio2 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue", expand_y=True)
radio3 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue", expand_y=True)
col1 = sg.Col([[]], background_color="red", expand_x=True, size=(100, 300))

radio4 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue")
radio5 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue")
radio6 = sg.Radio("radio1", "g", background_color="blue")
col2 = sg.Col([[]], background_color="red", expand_x=True, size=(100, 300))

layout = [
    [radio1, radio2, radio3, col1],
    [radio4, radio5, radio6, col2],
    [sg.Col([[]], size=(1000, 300), background_color="red")]
]

window = sg.Window('Example', layout)
while True:
    event, values = window.read(1000)
    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        window.close()
        break

IMO, it is same issue as following two issues and still nothing changed.

• issue [Bug] Combining expand_x and expand_y #5010
• issue [Question] How to make two elements on the same row with different pack option - expand ? #4566

for key in ('R1', 'R2', 'R3'):
    pack_info = window[key].Widget.pack_info()

    pack_info['before'] = window['C1'].Widget
    window[key].Widget.pack(**pack_info)

I'm not sure how to get around the mixture problem at the moment. PySimpleGUI combines two tkinter concepts, expand and fill. There's also the problem of the row expanding causing the element to expand/fill. I need, as Jason has indicated, to put some time in on this.

I see in the screenshot about the corrected radio buttons by changing the packing after the fact. I don't have a design yet that will do this as the window is being built. I'm sorry for the delay on these. Expand was added last year and it's not perfect.
