NGUI canvas position problem. buttons outside of ngui canvas.

Can't you put the buttons inside the NGUI Canvas?

Hey, just chiming in on this one with some more info:

In the editor: all widgets parented directly under my UIRoot snaps to the center of said UIRoot and can not be moved. The representation of how they are anchored relative to the screen is lost as it's just a pile of stuff on top of each other in the center. It makes it hard to work with the layout.

It works just fine once the game runs however.

Getting the same thing that kval mentioned. Everything is snapped to the center, but corrects itself when in play mode.

To expand on this, and it may not be related, selecting one of these NGUI elements, such as a label, in the editor results in 22 errors, all:

1. The serializedObject should not be used inside OnSceneGUI or OnPreviewGUI. Use the target property directly instead.
2. UnityEditor.GameObjectInspector:OnEnable()

Edit 2: This is another error that occurs when selecting elements:

1. NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
2. UIPanel.get_worldCorners () (at Assets/NGUI/Scripts/UI/UIPanel.cs:616)
3. UIWidgetInspector.DrawAnchorHandle (.AnchorPoint anchor, UnityEngine.Transform myTrans, UnityEngine.Vector3[] myCorners, Int32 side, Int32 id) (at Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Editor/UIWidgetInspector.cs:335)
4. UIWidgetInspector.OnSceneGUI () (at Assets/NGUI/Scripts/Editor/UIWidgetInspector.cs:448)

Hopefully the above can be of some help locating the cause of these issues.

You guys need to update to NGUI 3.7.6. That's what that release was for -- to add a work-around for a bug Unity introduced in their last few patches/versions.

Ah ok, I was not aware that there was a newer version of NGUI out. Thanks.
