No duplicating with alt and shift-keys

Hello,

When I draw a shape I can copy it by pressing the alt-key. Combined with the shift-key it will also be aligned with the original shape.

BUT ....

I suddenly can't use these two commands (alt+shift) together. I can only copy the shape but when I drag it and then push shift it cancels the copy (double arrow) function.

What to do?

Using Mac, Adobe Illustrator CC2017, Wacom Intuos 4 PTK-840

    This is probably caused by the new Wacom driver.

    You could also try if it gets better when you don't use Smart Guides or at least uncheck "Construction guides" in their Preferences)

    Thank you for your reply.

    You were right. The problem was the new software update for my Wacom.

    I have deinstalled it and installed an older version. Now alt and shift-keys can be combined again

    Thanks a lot!
