PartialLayout consider node labels in groups?

Question

I have a question about using the 'PartialLayout' in yFiles. 

I'm currently working with a graph that has been morphed using an unspecified layout. However, I also want the groups and their children in my graph to always be arranged using the 'HierarchicLayout'. In my attempt to achieve this, I used the 'PartialLayout' and set the affectedNodes and affectedEdges. While this approach somewhat worked – the nodes and edges within the groups were correctly arranged – I'm facing issues with the labels being considered properly. It seems that the labels are not being calculated by the IGroupBoundsCalculator when I use 'PartialLayout'. Is this an expected behavior, or is there a workaround to include label calculations in 'PartialLayout'?

This is my current approach:

const pL = new PartialLayout({
  coreLayout: hL,
  layoutOrientation: PartialLayoutOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT,
  considerNodeAlignment: true,
});

const pD = new PartialLayoutData({
  affectedNodes: ItemCollection.from(affectedNodes),
  affectedEdges: ItemCollection.from(affectedEdges),
});

Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
