Parenting object is not changing pivot

when I try to change an object's pivot I create a new empty object and set my model child of this empty object. But when I click on the parent object, in the scene it shows the transform of the child object. By the way, if I set active false my child object the problem fixes. Is this a bug or is there some logic behind this behavior? (Especially it happens for the camera object in my other unity project)

 

[SOLVED] alright i searched lit bit more than i reliazed when I click on "toggle handle position" button that positioned top left of the scene window, this problem solves
