Ctrl+Shift+Drag doesn't work

Hello,

I usually use CTRL SHIFT DRAG to create duplicate fill-able fields and drag them (locked in line with their parent by the Shift key) to the next field. Now, when I release the mouse drag, it does not leave a new field where I had indicated; instead it leaves it exactly where the last field was. I cannot move it in any permanent way without it jumping back to where it was when I release the mouse. If I only use CTRL, it will work, but it's impossible for me to line all the fields in a 200 field form up in a professional way without using Shift.  Has anyone had this problem?

(I'm on Windows 10)

Oh sorry, my bad.  I checked the version number properly this time, but it's just version 11.0.0


You should consider updating to the latest version (11.0.15) and see if the problem persists.

What version of Acrobat are you using? The exact version number is shown by selecting: Help > About Adobe Acrobat...

Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

Also, the shift key works when I'm just moving an object without the copy function.

OK, but it might be helpful to know the specific version. For example, 11.0.9. The latest version of Acrobat 11 (XI) is 11.0.15.

It works for me with 11.0.9 on Windows XP and on a Mac with 11.0.11.
