AE 2025 - CRITICAL BUG!! - AE 25.5.0; unaligned text - placement error/inconsistency
CRITICAL BUG in AE 25.5.0 (on OSX) ; rendering of text - placement error - version inconsistency. MAJOR FLAW!
Steps to recreate;
1. IN AE 2023, AE2024, or AE 2025.2.2 ; Create a TEXT layer which is either CENTER or RIGHT justified.
2. ALIGN that layer to a guide or another object.
3. Open the same AEP file in AE 2025.5.0
4. Take note of the alignment.
(system info at bottom of post)
This is a major bug and makes AE 2025.5.0 unreliable for BASIC PRODUCTION TASKS and unsuitable for PROFESSIONAL WORK.
See attached images ;
NOTE image 4 which shows AE 2025.5.0 with the SAME EXACT FILE, TEXT, and LAYOUT, but in a different, inconsistent layout from all other versions of AE.
