Is this a bug with UI?

So I am creating UI with UGUI and the insane amount of draw calls puzzles me.

I did a little test and it seems to me that this is a bug? Can someone confirm?

The images/text used in both scenarios are the same. Using unity 5.1..

Test1:
canvas
- img
- img
- img
- img
- text
- text
- text
- text
= 3 draw calls

Test2:
canvas
-img
--img
---text
-img
--img
---text
= 5 draw calls

 

Which version of 5.1 are you using?

http://unity3d.com/unity/qa/patch-releases

5.1.1p3 is the latest.

Is this thread related?

i am using 5.1.1f1

i guess its related

 

If it sounds like it could be related, it might be worth installing the latest Unity to a separate folder, backing up your project and loading it in 5.1.1p3 and see if it fixes the issue - you could also try reading the patch notes from 1f1 onwards to see if it sounds like the bug has been fixed.

 

the thing is it says i already have the latest version.. and i don't see 1f1 in the patch notes..

I updated unity like 4 days ago..

 

You were given a link to the page from where you can download the patch releases.

 

For patch releases I don't believe unity will always update through the software as you may be used to.

You may have to do it manually via the link I sent before (check it out). By default when installing I think it will try and overwrite your existing installation; I have been installing to new folders with the patch name in case I need/want to try things on different versions (i.e. a folder for Unity 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1p1 etc).
