Recttransform keeps changing when I test or play game

Question

In my program, I have my display set up in an empty object called 'display'. In that object I have another empty one called Menu. In that, I have a Back Panel object (which is literally the backpanel to all my menus) which contains all the menu content as children. So the hierarchy would look like this:

Display Menu Back Panel Organization Menu Mission Menu etc...

For some reason, every time I set the recttransform for Mission Menu to something I want, it changes to something else when I play or test my game (note, it is always the same, yet unwanted, number that it changes to). Then, I deleted the object and all its content (the mission menu and its children) and remade it. Same thing. Then, I RENAMED Mission Menu to Missions Menu and suddenly it worked! I even went into my scripts and retargeted the Missions Menu where needed. I have no idea why this suddenly worked.

Any idea why this is? It really pissed me off for the better of two hours.

Also same problem here. Rect Transform changes when I hit play, and the change remains even after I stop. Happened when I had a canvas inside another canvas. Started when I upgraded to 5.4.1. Haven't found a fix yet...

@oliran If this is related to rect transforms with Canvas components, there is a temporary fix. I can't find the post that this was discussed in, but here is a solution that works for me.

Remove and Re-Add these components from your UI object (if they exist): 1) Canvas Renderer 2) Canvas Scalar 3) Graphic Raycaster

After that you can make your adjustments to your rect and re-run and cross your fingers.

This may be the issue tracker: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/canvas-inside-canvas-resets-position-slash-anchors-when-entering-play-mode

Looking for the post in the forums now.
