Issue can be resolved by providing a height and width to the Unity Component for both version 8.x and 9.x.

I have the opposite issue (using Gatsby 4.24.3 and Sass), the unity canvas defaults to a (very small) width/height, and I cannot style it via class name, only via providing a direct style.

My workaround is this (and then styling the container div), but it's odd. <Unity style={{ width:"100%", height:"100%"}} unityProvider={unityProvider} />

If not passed a literal style it will never expand and in fact have a fixed size of like 300x120, as per its style inspected from the browser.

@thygrrr That is very odd indeed. Never hear of anyone running into this problem. The size you're mentioning when no styles are given is the expected behavior since that's the browser's fallback. -- what version of Unity are you using?
