krtko: do you have Autoconnect turned on? It might be the culprit.

Nope that is off

Its very odd, it keeps changing a layout_width from a xml dimension to a specific DP

Yeah, I’ve been having the same issue in 2.3 and 3.0. I’ve noticed that it usually only happens when i mouse over the preview; so I just close the preview and it’s OK

Ya

Personally I would like to have the preview pane open

Oh, I completely agree. But until it’s fixed having it closed is about the only way I can work with constraint layouts 😞

Yes its kinda dangerous

Huh does your layouts have match_parent at all?

its seems like if one view uses match_parent it messes it up all the other views as well

Match_parent doesn’t’ seem to be supported by constraint layout

that kinda sucks

Yeah, you need to do the

0dp

and

app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"

and the same with the right for width matching. It would be nice to have match_parent abided by

Yea I need a view to be the size of the parent

but translated up 50%

I think I can do that with Guidelines tho
