Beta 5: RectTransform anchors/pivots broken?

Just installed beta 5, a lot of my UI elements are now all over the place, as if the anchors/pivots have been messed up.

I've gone back to beta 2 and it's all good now

 

I had a simmilar (or same) issue with the RectTransform too. Every time i changed the values of a RectTransform that was already a part of a prefab the values changed to a "random" (allways the same) value. But i only had this issue in beta 4. Today i upgraded to beta 5 and everything is working as it should.

 

Case #996627
It took a while to get a minimal case, I cant reply to the case ticket, but I after I submitted it I removed the Vertical Layout Group and the problem still occurs.

 

Here's a repro demo.

 

Oh, RectTransform, what Hell doth thou come from?

 

Fixed in beta 6?

 

I submitted a case just now that may be the same thing as this case 999590. It's a little different in that the rect transform changes on play as well.

 

Good - you may all have supper tonight.

 

Is there a workaround while we wait for b7? This is throwing my UI elements all over the place and making it hard to test.

 

I can't take another Unity release with broken UI. I have no more money to pay for therapy.

 

UnityEngine.UI *is* the therapy. It keeps making you stronger and more creative. You find workarounds to problems you never thought you would face, every day. You're twice the man today that you were before it.

Seriously, though, it's a very good framework in its bones. It's just plagued by some performance and stability challenges at its core. Whenever it's destabilized like this, my sincere hope is that it's because they've finally decided to take a risk and tear out those rotten core pieces and try to truly fix them, and that we will emerge from the other side of this temporary pain with something better. Time will tell.

 

Well that might be worth trying, because downloading b7 seems like a waste time...

...another week of disappoint for a proper fix.

 

B8 is out... Is it fixed?

 

I used to think fixes landed in the latest beta's first as priority .. not the other way around, this changes everything... how can you really expect any to test or use beta versions in any meaningful way with projects when they are this broken and left unfixed for weeks at time. And I'd consider ugui layouts getting completely messed up being pretty serious of an issue to resolve.

 

The issue completely vanished from the b8 release notes. Neither mentioned in the Known Issues section, nor anywhere else.

Is this intentional?

 

With no visible improvement being made to UGUI workflow or its components in 2018.1 beta, that would explain the breaking down of it and the time issue of getting it fixed due to other changes going on in those areas. Well its annoying to say the least.

 

It's the nature of the beta-testing. Since you aren't using it for production, it's just annoying, but basically harmless.

 

Any ETA on 2018.1.0b10?

 

They wrote Friday.

 

I'm hoping bug Case 1008866 is the same as the one fixed in b10?

 

Beta 10 is out.

 

solved in beta 10 for me.

 

Same for me, thanks

 

10 weeks later and 2018.1 beta might actually be usable now cool

 

Except that we lost all buttons and script references in inspector. ( Had to drag them in manually once again ) Seems like it is working. Trying now Android build. ( OSX Standalone is ok )

 

Works on Android.

 

Beta 10 solved *part* of my problem. The UI now looks correct, but when the project launches either in the editor or as a build, the resolution drop down menu doesn't show the correct resolution. (Which it does in U2017.3.1p3 as it should)

I did a bug report when it happened in b9 (1008866 ).
Do i have to re-report it with b10?
If you see the screenshots in the link above, you'll see that 2017 starts up with showing the right resolution in the top of the drop down, while 2018 shows the smallest available.
