Anchor Bug?

[vidjogamer]

Hello, I am trying to use an advanced anchor to position 3 sides of a widget to the sides of a screen, the 4th side is supposed to be variable based on a game object. I figured this was the perfect time to use anchors. But the anchors are not behaving as I would expect.

Ive attached some images that hopefully demonstrate what is happening. the right side of my widget is anchored to a sphere in the scene. I expect the widget to resize to the spheres position when I move my sphere around. Instead when I drag the sphere around, the right side of my widget just kinda bounces around pseudo randomly.

So it seems to work properly if the anchor object has a component derived from UIWidget. This will work. Are empty game objects not supposed to work?

Empty game object works fine. Note the difference in layers. Game objects on the "default" layer are drawn by a different camera, so their position on the screen isn't the same as your UI objects.

When you create a widget, it's forced onto the UI layer.
