Problem with patterns

Hi everyone. Some days ago, whenever I wanted to move a pattern independently from the object it was in, I just pressed the [^` key and with the arrows I could move the pattern without moving the object. Now, when I try to do the same, the pattern moves along with the object, and not independently as before. I tried in the Transform tab to select just the option "transform pattern only", but even selected, when I move it, it moves both the pattern and the object. Which is the problem here? Thanks.

    By  [^  do you mean Shift? Because Shift + `   (aka ~ Tilde) still works for me to move only the pattern, not the object. I just checked.

    Which version, and what operating system? You might need to reset Preferences if this does not work for you.

    I have updated to today's patch: 21.0.2

      Hi,

      Shouldn't it be the ~ (Tilde) key on your keyboard? You can then just move (and mouse drag) the object.

      Another problem could be that you've changed the keyboard language (when you work on Windows)?

      it depends on your keyboard language. on mine it's not the tilde either.
