UITable pushing widgets down

[laurentl]

I am using UITable to create dynamically a group of tabs that are aligned either horizontally or vertically.

Each tab is made up of about 5 sprites and a texture.

When a new item appears, the sprite that says "NEW" is enabled and that sprite appears above the tab.

When that happens, the NEW tab get's pushed on the Y axis like so:

Why is that?

I vaguely remember there being a bug in the table with the "up" type table alignment. It supposed to be pushed up, not pushed down. I am not sure if it was ever fixed in 3.0, come to think of it...

Any particular reason you don't just use a UIGrid here instead?

Yup, confirmed to be still bugged in 3.0. Here's how to fix it. Open up UITable, line 125. The statement currently reads:

1.                         if (direction == Direction.Down)
2.                         {
3.                                 pos.y = -yOffset - b.extents.y - b.center.y;
4.                                 pos.y += (b.max.y - b.min.y - bc.max.y + bc.min.y) * 0.5f - padding.y;
5.                         }
6.                         else
7.                         {
8.                                 pos.y = yOffset + b.extents.y - b.center.y;
9.                                 pos.y += (b.max.y - b.min.y - bc.max.y + bc.min.y) * 0.5f - padding.y;
10.                         }

And it should be:

1.                         if (direction == Direction.Down)
2.                         {
3.                                 pos.y = -yOffset - b.extents.y - b.center.y;
4.                                 pos.y += (b.max.y - b.min.y - bc.max.y + bc.min.y) * 0.5f - padding.y;
5.                         }
6.                         else
7.                         {
8.                                 pos.y = yOffset + (b.extents.y - b.center.y);
9.                                 pos.y -= (b.max.y - b.min.y - bc.max.y + bc.min.y) * 0.5f - padding.y;
10.                         }
