ControlOffsetTransformPreviewdoesn't need to be aControl(or a friend).It holds a plugin pointer plus two methods and never draws itself — the drawing goes to
p_overlay. Deriving fromControlforces it into the editor's GUI tree (see theadd_childincontrol_editor_plugin.cpp), where it participates in layout/focus for no reason. A plainObject-derived helper, or just folding the state intoControlEditorPlugin, would be simpler.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Division by data.scale can blow up offsets for near-zero scale.
set_scale() clamps zeros to CMP_EPSILON, so (x - 2*margin) / data.scale.x yields values around 1e38 and can overflow to inf, which then propagates into data.offset[] and the size cache (set_size() has an isfinite guard, but the offsets themselves are already poisoned). Negative scale also inverts the stretched edge. Consider clamping the divisor to a sane minimum magnitude (or falling back to the unscaled formula when Math::abs(scale) < some epsilon).

Yeah, if that's the case, sure, but I wasn't sure about that. I think this stuff is strictly additive--new properties, so not sure if it breaks projects as long as it still has all the previous properties. That said, it does change the Control node. |
Yep, that's on my todo list |

Essentially pulling in the functionality in this upstream PR:
godotengine/godot#87081
It's worth noting the animated properties and such in the video there were named differently by the time it was merged. All the properties are offset_[new_property_name].
I have tested animating a couple of them as in that example. Essentially, I believe these "offset" properties are transforming the control node independently of the UI constraints, bringing in a lot of new abilities in the process.
If this is accurate, I believe it would mitigate the pain of restrictions implicit in this PR:
#1317
For any users that may have hacked some desired behavior from the not-working anchor functionality, hopefully this would allow a much more staight-forward way to do those things and more.
Commits deliberately not squashed to show the history/needed commits. Merge conflicts were very light, some simply caused by doxygen comments.
