Inside a flex, with other component presenting, if I set ItemPadding to 0, the buttons are no longer visible. Once I change this value to something greater than 0, buttons show up again.

Example code

        buttons := tview.NewForm().SetItemPadding(0).AddButton("A", func(){
        }).AddButton("B", func(){
        }).AddButton("C", func(){
        })
        table := tview.NewTable()
        table.SetBorder(true)
        flex := tview.NewFlex().SetDirection(tview.FlexRow).AddItem(buttons, 3, 1, false).AddItem(table, 0, 10, true)
        flex.SetBorder(true)

This code will give a output with an empty row(space) and a table frame below it.
