Solved A RenderFlex overflowed by 719 pixels on the bottom

Are you making this UI design mistake? Learn why a RenderFlex overflowed by 719 pixels on the bottom can lead to a frustrating user experience.

Consider applying a flex factor (e.g. using an Expanded widget) to force the children of the RenderFlex to fit within the available space instead of being sized to their natural size.

This is considered an error condition because it indicates that there is content that cannot be seen. If the content is legitimately bigger than the available space, consider clipping it with a ClipRect widget before putting it in the flex, or using a scrollable container rather than a Flex, like a ListView.
