Expected Behavior
Being able to copy the transform of the grouped Text source to the other Text source and vice versa.
Current Behavior
Copying the transform from the ungrouped Text source to the grouped Text source does not work, nothing happens. The other way around it works as it's currently intended (it applies coordinates relative to the group transform).
Copying from a grouped source to another grouped source also doesn't work. It seems like pasting transforms on grouped sources is broken in general, regardless where the copied transform came from.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a group
- Add a Text source inside the group and scale/move it around
- Add a Text source outside the group and scale/move it around
Anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in OBS Studio 29.1.3 on Windows 11 using the listed steps, then inspect the transform copy and paste path for sources inside groups. Done means transforms can be copied between grouped and ungrouped Text sources in both directions while preserving the intended coordinates.
