Arrow Keys - Illustrator 29.5.1

Hi. I don't know if I have touched something or not in Illustrator's configuration, on the Mac, or it is a bug of the program, but the case is that the navigation keys work totally opposite. That is to say, when I press the up key ↑, the object or shape goes to the left; and vice versa. And when I press the left key ←, the object or shape goes downwards; and vice versa.

This problem does not occur, neither with the Beta version, nor with the 2024 version and everything is normal. Greetings!

 

macOS Sonoma 14.7.6

Adobe Illustrator 2025 v.29.5.1

I'm glad that this solved it (if not, it would have become difficult 🙂 )

 

And thank you for your kind words.
