Question

Weird selection bug, selecting elements not in view

Has this happened to anyone else?
When you're selecting between different groups, sometimes it seems like another element remains "selected" even after choosing a new one, which affects the transformation box.

In the example I'm sharing, I selected only the image on the right, but the transformation box stretches toward an element that isn't even part of the group I'm currently in.

Alejandro,

 

Maybe far too far out, is it happening in connexion with a previously selected area type object?

Hello @Alejandro5FFB,

Would you mind sharing more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator installed, if this happens with particular files or when going through a particular workflow, and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can better assist you?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello @Alejandro5FFB,

Thanks for sharing the details. As we are unable to replicate this behavior on our end, I would request you to share a small screen recording of this problem, along with a sample file after uploading it to a file-sharing service, so I can check it with the team.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
