Expand Repeat Grid to left / top to fit content, instead of clipping
If I have to add new content to the top or left of the grid cells inside a Repeat Grid, the left/top edges of the Repeat Grid container don't auto-expand and the content gets clipped. I have to manually move all the existing content down/right to make space, then add the new content, then move the whole Repeat Grid back to the left/upward to get the existing content back in its original position.
Also, if I have text overrides with centered text, if I edit any of the text to be long it also gets clipped, and requires similar work to add padding on the left (see attached GIF).
Note: a similar problem happens if you need to add content to the right/bottom: because the Repeat Grid padding doesn't grow, the neighboring cells stay in the same location and the cells' content can start to overlap each other. See request https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/18898609-editing-layout-of-repeat-grid-content-should-avoid-overlap for this issue.

I'm shocked this hasn't been addressed, especially now with components. Repeat grids don't take into account other states. Attached is my click/drag state which gets cropped on the left side.
