Major Issues with Kerning/Tracking

Hi,

Im having some strange things happen with my Adobe illustrator CC. It seems to be triggered when I use the auto "tracking" tab under Character.

I will have one word highlighted, change the tracking value, then strange things start to happen. It could be the word highlighted doesn't change, but another word does. The bounding box disappears. Words jump around on my document. When I press Command Z to undo the strange things - the document jumps back about 20 steps and I have to recreate things. Sometimes I cant even move anything properly, and end up having to quit entirely and restart.

I have tried installing an old version and still getting the same problem, I have also tried the command "e" and it does nothing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I have the same issue, don't use a font manager, don't understand why non-highlighted rows are changing. Super frustrating.

In the attached gif, I set the tracking for a row, then select a different text element entirely and the tracking adjusts the previously set row of text.
