Flutter does not officially plan to solve this problem, so we can only use some hacking methods.
Here is my resolution with an example, you can use the following OverflowWithHitTest Widget directlly:
import 'package:flutter/rendering.dart';
import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
/// Creates a widget that can check its' overflow children's hitTest
///
/// [overflowKeys] is must, and there should be used on overflow widget's outermost widget those' sizes cover the overflow child, because it will [hitTest] its' children, but not [hitTest] its' parents. And i cannot found a way to check RenderBox's parent in flutter.
///
/// The [OverflowWithHitTest]'s size must contains the overflow widgets, so you can use it as outer as possible.
///
/// This will not reduce rendering performance, because it only overcheck the given widgets marked by [overflowKeys].
///
/// Demo:
///
/// class _MyPageStore extends State<MyPage> {
///
/// var overflowKeys = <GlobalKey>[GlobalKey()];
///
/// Widget build(BuildContext context) {
/// return Scaffold(
/// body: OverflowWithHitTest(
///
/// overflowKeys: overflowKeys,
///
/// child: Container(
/// height: 50,
/// child: UnconstrainedBox(
/// child: Container(
/// width: 200,
/// height: 50,
/// color: Colors.red,
/// child: OverflowBox(
/// alignment: Alignment.topLeft,
/// minWidth: 100,
/// maxWidth: 200,
/// minHeight: 100,
/// maxHeight: 200,
/// child: GestureDetector(
/// key: overflowKeys[0],
/// behavior: HitTestBehavior.translucent,
/// onTap: () {
/// print('==== onTap;');
/// },
/// child: Container(
/// color: Colors.blue,
/// height: 200,
/// child: Text('aaaa'),
/// ),
/// ),
/// ),
/// ),
/// ),
/// ),
/// ),
/// );
/// }
/// }
///
