There is a small bug that happens often when using the transform panel. I use it a lot to move and size objects with precision. Many times, I will want to move an object with the X and Y values. I will type a number, press enter and a completely different number value will automatically appear in the box and move it to that value. For example, I want to move an object to 4.25" in the Y axis and after I press enter, a value of 36.0833" appears and moves it to that value. It can happen up to three times before the number I want finally sticks. It is a minor inconvenience but would be great if this got fixed.
1.If you are transforming artboard
a.Deselect artboard before opening artboard options dialog
b.Now select selection tool, select art, and try to change X value from transform panel and observe
2.If you are only changing values in transform panel
a.Enter value in X field and tab
b.Now give a pause (wait for a second) before entering value in Y field
c.Enter value in Y field, tab and observe
28.2, Mac. I have been reporting and voting for descriptions of this issue for almost every version for AT LEAST 10 years, and it persists. Different computers, different operating systems, different user accounts -- forever the same unaddressed problem. I disagree with the OP that it's a minor inconvenience.
For example, WHEN FOCUSING AN INPUT FIELD, select the entire contents of the field every time. DO NOT EVER INSERT THE INSERTION POINT where the person clicked, for example. ALWAYS SELECT ALL when activating a field.
Either that or if I enter 45 and tab, it sometimes puts 45 in the middle of the previous X value. Now my artwork is at 3459px because it was 39px and I clicked it to make 45, but Illustrator inserted my cursor in the middle rather than selecting the content.
This is also a problem with units. Whatever the default units, keep them unless I specify differently. But if I don't specify units, you can rest assured that whatever I enter into that field will be using the default units.
This is probably my biggest complaint (or second biggest) with Illustrator. Devs need to implement industry standards for INPUT field UX. If I want to insert my insertion point in the middle of a value, I'll click a second time once the field is FOCUSED. That's how it is supposed to be done.
Same issue here on 25.4.1, so frustrating that I cannot move or resize items via the transform panel. A simple move to 0x/0y or minor resize repositions off the page and onto somewhere random on the pasteboard. Been this way for months now for me. MAJOR bug that needs to be fixed.
BTW unchecking use preview bounds does nothing for me either.
BUG is still HUGE issue
We need to make sure artboards are perfect in dimensions in mm form. It was working correctly for the past couple weeks. Now it is rounding up.
Deleted app, switched inches to mm, restarted comp. Nothing. Tried to input it manually. For example need artboard to be 129.9129mm x 43.4008 but it rounds up to be 129.913x43.401
Still a problem. I can't make anything on full point sizes. I'll type in "0p5" and it turns into "0p5.0004". I can't even set my keyboard increment to 1 pt. in the preferences panel. It seems like the only whole point values illustrator will accept are multiples of 3 like 0p6 and 0p9.
