Expected Behavior
Copy transform from item within a group, then paste transform to another object should re-produce transform settings from source object.
Current Behavior
Copying a transform from an object within a group does not work and no or incorrect transform settings are applied to new object.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a color source object or item
- Apply a transform to the color source example: Position: 360x 90y, Size: 1600x900 Crop: 240,240,0,0
- Create a group and move the object into the group
- Create another color source or object
- Copy the transform from the first object within the group and paste transform to the second object outside the group
- Paste transform will not apply the correct settings
- Select source item within the group and press cntrl+e to edit transform and notice some transform setting are now incorrect.
- Move the source object out of the group or ungroup
- Copy and paste transform will now work
- Select the source item, press cntrl+e and the transform settings are back to normal. ...
Anything else we should know?
We use copy/paste transform extensively for positional reference, it helps to organize positional reference objects into groups, however we need to either un-group or move them out of the group before using the copy/paste transform.
Cannot reproduce it with the git 29782cd59 (or the steps to reproduce the issue is not clear).
The source within the group is aligned to the group itself (not to the preview), thus the source has different properties if the whole group, for example, was moved. It is normal. The group size is dynamic and depends on all sources that is currently inside the group.

Regardless of whether the behaviour is expected based on the code, it doesn't mean it makes sense to the user.
If a user is copying the transform of a scene item, they are going to expect to copy it's size and position within the canvas, not the group.
Then new option needed (feature request) to copy absolute coordinates of the item.
I have two items in the same group and the copy/paste transform doesn't work either. (OBS 28)
