[2017.2.0f3] Can't rename objects in hierarchy while cont. size fitter and horiz. layout is enabled

Hi,

This is what I did, I opened new scene. Added simple UI Image to the scene and added Horizontal Layout and Content size fitter to the image. I set horiz/vert fit to preferred size, and in horizontal layout enabled control size, disabled force size.

Now Basically if I select any object in hierarchy, click F2 and try to rename it, the rename field gets closed and object gets deselected.
I can't rename at all by double click or right click and rename.
If I disable the content size fitter or horizontal layout everything is fine. Could it be that my setup is throwing content size fitter into forcing editor to update every frame?

 

Having the same issue, i think this is a bug.
You can find issue tracker about this here : https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...ntent-size-fitter-to-min-slash-preferred-size

Until it's fixed, you can still rename gameobjects using the field in the top of your inspector

 

Ran into a similar issue when renaming with right click -> Rename. It seems like when I pressed Shift to make a capital letter the field would lose focus. I didn't really investigate though as I realized the rename via inspector work around within a few minutes. Super annoying though.

 

I can confirm this issue, it is really frustrating. When using Playmaker I can't even type a single space before the rename field gets deselected. This is making working with unity very irritating and unproductive

 

Restarting the project fixed it for me.

 

Same. Unity 2018.2.0f2. Mac. Unable to use capital letters on hierarchy.

 

The issue was resolved for me when I eventually moved to 2017.4. I don't know if they eventually fixed it in a 2017.2 patch release, or 2017.3. I'm currently on 2018.2 now, and I can't recall hitting this issue again with that one either. Windows 10 here by the way, so maybe it is Mac specific with 2018.2.

 

My issue was caused by this code:

Code (CSharp):

1. void OnDrawGizmos()
2. {
3.    gameObject.name = "someName";
4. }

 

Same here. Quite annoying, but it helps indeed to temporarily disable the content size fitter - as a workaround.

 

Having this same issue in 2019.4.23f1.

I had the

OnDrawGizmos()

in a script that was attached to a single gameobject. This was causing the problem. Commenting out the entire function fixed it

 

Same thing happening NOW in 2019.4.3f1!!! FFFFFFRUSTRATING!!!!!!

 

Happening in 2020.3.16f1 also

 

Happening in 2020.3.26f1 also. (Mac Monterrey)
