9 Patch editor in StyleBoxTexture does not work as expected

Sub-Region Rect defines what part of the texture you want to use. Unless you want to use only part of the texture, it should be set to the default value of 0, which means whole texture.

The only properties relevant for 9 Patch are the Texture Margins.

Right, that is what I suspected the intended behavior might be, but I do feel like the editor might could be a little clearer when it comes to communicating that to the user. None of the field seem to have anything to do with 9-Patch textures at first glance

@JoshuaSteward1193 I might suffered the same problem, recently I download kenney UI which contains a 48 x 48 border texture, so I want to apply the border to a custom theme of Button. this is my solution finally solve the nine patch problem.

1. Create a new theme
2. Create a new Button Type
3. Create a new normal StyleBoxTexture
4. Edit StyleBoxTexture
5. In StyleBoxTexture inspector, drag texture into the texture property
6. set Texture Margins property to left: 16px; top 16px; right: 16px; bottom: 16px

why 16px ? since my texture size is 48 x 48 ,and it's a ninepatch texture which means should be 3 x 3 blcok. so 48 / 3 is 16px and it behaves as what I expected

.I will upload the border texture here.
