GridLayout vertical start axis displaying weird behaviour

    Not sure where this comes from, but when i tried all the settings on the Grid Layout Group, i noticed some weird behaviour when the Start Axis is set to Vertical.

    I would assume that it works like horizontal, so it starts to fill its first column (instead of row) and if that is full it starts the second. What actually happens is some strange mixture of vertical and horizontal flow.

    When i add elements, it first fills up the first row (exactly like horizontal), and as soon as it has no more space, it switches to a vertical-first layout, but still not quite. This is easier shown than said, so here goes:

    Webplayer

    Now it does say the webplayer will only work on my computer because it is built using a beta version. Does that mean it only works on computers who have the beta installed, or really only on my computer? In which case i would have to upload in some different format D:

    I have the same behaviour of the GridLayout, maybe it's a bug? Your webplayer works fine for me by the way.

    Nice demonstration. Can you file a bug report with the project attached that was used for that webplayer? Thanks.

    Submitted a bug report from inside Unity, which should have the project attached.
    From how it looked this is done by default, right?

    So long as it's the open project then yes :)

    FYI, this bug is still occurring in unity 4.6.1p2.
    Except I noticed it the other way around, vertical works as expected, but horizontal behave weirdly.
    My recttransform has a bigger width than height, and yours a bigger height than width. Could be why makes it work in a direction and not the other.

    Thread is a bit old, so I don't know if it is still relevant to post here, but I thought I should point it out.

    Broken again in 2017.1.1f1...
    Vertical behaves correctly when Constraint is set to "Flexible". But when set to "Fixed Column Count" it starts doing the strange behavior.
