Children of viewport nodes cannot be dragged.

[ghost]

Godot version:

3.2.4

OS/device including version:

Win 10

Issue description:

Children of Viewport nodes from as far as I can tell can't be repositioned with dragging in the editor. The transform properties have to be manually updated in the inspector panel.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Setup a 2D viewport.
2. Create sprites as children.
3. Try to drag and move them.

Minimal reproduction project:

Viewport Children Undraggable.zip

Note that the root of the issue is that to the editor this is just a rendered texture, same as in the actual running project. You can work around this limitation by putting the contents of your Viewport into a separate scene.

Wouldn't then also editor viewport and the root scene viewport prevent usage of controls the same?

My issue is that not only are Layout controls broken for sub-Viewport controls, I can't even see anything in the 2D editor without putting the contents into a separate scene. Thanks for mentioning this as it seems to be the only solution for now.
