    Hi,

    I am stuck with a error message and a behaviour I can't understand while creating a UI of nested windows.

    The error message is
    Cannot reparent windows to suggested parent. Window will not automatically close. UnityEngine.GUIUtility: ProcessEvent(Int32, IntPtr, Boolean)


    The strange behavior is that I cannot edit manually the values of the UI objects in the inspector. I cannot modify the values with the keyboard, but I can modify them with the mouse by clicking, holding and moving to the right or left

    This happens when I try to create a scrolllist within a UI, but I can't find a way to reproduce it all the time. I also cannot find a way to get rid of it when it happens, except deleting UI elements and restarting Unity.

    Any idea where this is coming from ? I am not using anything besides standard UI elements

    Just Restart Unity, THEN it will work.
