    Hi,

    I have a weird problem and don't know if it is a bug. Chances are I am doing something wrong.

    I have a ScrollRect with a Grid for the items. The content gameobject has the GridLayout component and a ContentSizeFitter so it can grow if needed. Inside I have 5 test prefabs to test the layout. Everything works great.

    But the, I run the proyect, I delete all the prefabs and add new ones from saved data. The prefab is the same and it does not modify its size. I expected it to mantain the layout I created for them but sadly it does not work.

    When I check the instantiated prefab scale, in the editor it is x:1 y:1 z:1, while at runtime it is x:1.643836 y:1.643836 z:1.643836. If I manually change their scale everything works ok again.

    Thanks.

    Is it a Screen Space - Camera Canvas style by chance?

    Just ran into this same problem, I'd say report it~

    In my case it's Screen Space - Overlay, but I'd say it the same bug. By the way, are you having a problem where you have child gameobjects visible even when the parent is disabled? Just asking.

    I have a similar problem instantiating prefab Text elements in a char ScrollRect. I don't know if it's the case in your case, but it started happening when I added Canvas Scaler to my root UI. It seems it's performing some sort of scale on my prefabs at the time of Instantiation.

    I did a little investigation: I have my canvas scaler set to 1920 x 1080. When I start the game up in that resolution, the instantiated text elements spawn fine with a scale of 1. When I start it up @ 960x540 (half res) the scale is 2, so it appears twice as big as it should. The fix is setting the scale to 1 post instantiate.

    It seems this is my problem. I fixed this the same way you did but did not know why it happened. Thanks!
