3D transform widget not in correct position

I have what appears to be a bug in a Blueprint with a public variable.
Based on the image Post Bug 1:

The blueprint creates the first post (Left hand post), creates a second post at location set by variable ‘Post Location’, and stretches a rail between them. ‘Post Location’ is exposed and has a widget set on it for ease of movement.

When I click on the ‘Post Location’ indicator, the widget stays at the position of the blueprint base - left post. It still works, I can move it and the correct second post moves as in image Post Bug 2:

When I move the widget it moves relative to the base post, not the second post. However I must stress again that this is working functionally; The right hand post has its position set correctly by moving this widget. When I release click on the widget, it snaps back to the first post again. So if this is a bug it’s not breaking, just a bit inconvenient to move objects.

Maybe it is related to a previously reported version at:

?
And has shown up again?
I am using UE version 4.14.3.

Hello RichyNZ,

I was not able to reproduce this issue on our end. I have a few questions for you that will help narrow down what issue it is that you are experiencing.

Quick questions:

  1. Can you reproduce this issue in a clean project?
  2. If so, can you reproduce this issue in the latest version of the engine?
  3. If so, could you provide a detailed list of steps to reproduce this issue on our end?
  4. Could you provide screen shots of any settings/blueprints that may be involved?

Hello RichyNZ,

We have not heard back from you in a few days, so we are marking this post as Resolved for tracking purposes. If you are still experiencing the issue you reported, please respond to this message with additional information and we will follow up.

Thanks,

FYI - I fixed this by deleting the Intermediate Folder and the Saved Folder, the issue must lie in one of those locations.

Rebooting the engine fixed it as this affected ALL blueprints using the 3D Widget Preview Gizmo

Deleting the “Saved” folder solved my issue, thanks!
