Blend tool issues (29.8.1 on MacOS 26.0 M2 & M4)

[Your screen name here]

This could be an issue with other systems/versions as well...

Using the blend tool, I linked a rectangle and an ellipse, with 12 steps. All looked fine.

I then tried to move the ellipse about half its width down, using the mouse. Instead of staying in that position, the shape snapped to a different position.

Another issue is that the history gets populated with lots of Undo during the manual move. Illustrator doesn't see my object manipulation as a single action.

Lastly, using [option], when I copied the ellipse to create an extra object in the blend, Illustrator made extra copies and snapped them to the original position.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour on their system (with similar or other specifications) and how can I find out if Adobe is aware and will fix this? It is only one of the bugs I've found so far with the latest MacOS.

Hello @Your screen name here,

Our team has tried fixing this in the latest Illustrator Beta 30.0.0.72. Would you mind installing it to see if it helps resolve the problem?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks for the reply. I just tried the beta app and it appears that the blend tool works normally. I'll use this for now with MacOS Tahoe.
