It's hidden on purpose. @reduz wanted it to be controlled by the anchor preset, automatically changing with it to give the user the most expected behavior out of the box. Which is why it is only editable with the custom preset.

Oh, got it! The grow direction is within the Custom mode of the Anchor Preset.
This should be changed. I definitely need to be able to set the grow direction to center when using the center anchor preset.
I'll make a PR to move it out of the menu.

Yeah, I figured that out. Sadly, until we implement the grow_direction computed out of the anchors values (this might require a proposal, as we might need to override this default behavior, I am not sure), we need access to grow_direction properties with other presets.

I'll make a PR as a quick fix, but I agree we should discuss the implementation of the computation of grow_direction out of anchors.

Edit: Or maybe I misunderstood something? Because if your message suggests it is implemented, then the default value for the center preset should be to set both the horizontal and vertical grow_direction to center. In such case, that might be the bug I have.

Edit 2: Ah... Seems like I cannot reproduce the bug, and that the grow direction is indeed set correctly. I don't know, there might be a situation where the grow_direction is not set right away ? That's weird.

Anyway, closing this as the original situation is expected. I'll if I am able to reproduce the bug again, I'll open another issue.
