So it seems like you might be on to something. When i changed the default anchor to center (and i also added back the canvas as parent - view hierarchy), and it seems to finally update the location.
HOWEVER - it only takes its parents coordinates to consideration.
So if i were to center my anchor, it would move within just 20-30 coordinates.
This ended up with my floating text, rendering back to the upper-left corner as per x0, y0 coordinates, although with the slight difference of 20-30 units.
So now the question remains… how do i take the main viewport into consideration…
