Issue description

When use set_global_canvas_transform() on editor viewport, the editor viewport transform immediately But when any input(keyboard pressed, or mouse hovered on canvas editor), it will be reset as before. And the transform only change the item on canvas but not the hints( grids, axis..etc)

Steps to reproduce

Add a tool script then call get_tree().edited_scene_root.get_viewport().set_global_canvas_transform()

Finally I figure it out that you cannot change canvas item editor position by set the viewport's global_canvas_transform. I think the document should be point it out maybe.

Canvas Item Editor hierarchy

• Control
  • ViewportContainer
    • Viewport(edit_scene_root viewport)
  • CanvasItemEditorViewport
    • HScrollBar(CanvasItem Editor scrollbar)
    • VScrollBar(CanvasItem Editor scrollbar)
    • VBoxContainer
  • VBoxContainer

For anyone who wants change editor center by code:

func set_editor_centor(var _center: Vector2):#set editor 2d center
    var v = get_tree().edited_scene_root.get_viewport()
    var t = v.global_canvas_transform
    var s = t.get_scale()
    var _center_offset = (v.size/s.x)/2#canvas editor center offset
    _center = _center - _center_offset

    var p = v.get_parent().get_parent()
    for i in p.get_children():
        print(i.get_class())
        if i.get_class() == "CanvasItemEditorViewport":
            for j in i.get_children():
                if j.get_class() == "HScrollBar":
                    j.set_value(_center.x)
                elif j.get_class() == "VScrollBar":
                    j.set_value(_center.y)

Reopening. #68696 was merged and changing global_canvas_transform is supposedly the recommended way to access canvas transform (and modify it). However this issue still persists.

Not sure how it should be solved.

In the meantime, here's a more robust solution for setting both zoom and position:

var editor = EditorInterface.get_base_control().find_child("@CanvasItemEditorViewport*", true, false)

var zoomer = editor.find_child("@EditorZoomWidget*", true, false)
zoomer.set_zoom(zoom)
zoomer.zoom_changed.emit(zoom)

var scroll = editor.find_child("@HScrollBar*", true, false)
scroll.value = pos.x
scroll = editor.find_child("@VScrollBar*", true, false)
scroll.value = pos.y
