Scene preview of Anchor/GUI layout

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I have a really weird issue on this computer where the preview UI for Unity GUI is not available at all. Basically this interface does not appear:

(I know the explanatory lines aren’t supposed to show up, I’m referring to the preview arrow and the triangles for the anchor positions. The blue handles for the Rect tool are drawn though.)

It has worked a couple of times though, I have no idea what causes it. Did anyone else encounter (and solve) this scenario?

(I did my duty and report a bug btw ;))

Are you sure you selected the button and try to resize the parent ?

Edit: and you must be in 2D mode + “Canvas mode” (top left)

Yup, sure I’m doing all those things. It worked, maybe once or twice, maybe only in early betas… Not sure when exactly anymore. This is how a scene like the one above looks in my editor (note the absence of the parent transform size, anchors, etc) :

This is really weird. I can’t explain it :confused:

Hopefully someone will be able to help you!

Edit: does it work with another project ?

Nope it is equally broken for all projects :frowning:

You should try to reinstall Unity.

I’ve installed new releases (4.6.1 and 4.6.1p1) and I’ve installed multiple betas since this started happening, and so far this keeps happening (or not happening, depending how you look at it ;))
