Text in kivy popup is outside the pop up

In a .kv file, I have

<P>:
    ScrollView:
        Label:
            size_hint_y: None
            text_size: (self.width, None)
            id: table
            height: self.texture_size[1]

and in the corresponding .py file, I have

class P(FloatLayout):
    def __init__(self, data1, data2, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(**kwargs)
        self.ids.table.text = str(data1[0] + data2[0])


def show_popup(data1, data2):
    show = P(data1, data2)
    popupWindow = Popup(title='Settings Window', content=show, size_hint=(None, None), size=(400, 400))
    popupWindow.open()

However, the result is this:

enter image description here

How can I get the text to fall inside the popup window? If possible, I'd like to make the popup window much larger, and have a scrollable text in the window. I have tried messing around with size_hint and pos_hint as attirbutes of <P> to make the popup window bigger, and as attributes of ScrollView to move the text into the box, but this doesn't seem to be having any effect. (I used values between 0 and 1)

The FloatLayout does not position its children, you must do that. So there are three ways to correct your P class:

  1. Add a pos_hint to position the ScrollView, probably like pos_hint: {'center_x': 0.5, 'center_y': 0.5}.

Or,

  1. Change the superclass of P from FloatLayout to RelativeLayout.

Or,

  1. Just position the ScrollView, like pos: root.pos.
