[Moderator moved from The Lounge to Illustrator .]
Whenever I click on an object to select it, it jumps to the right. The same thing happens when I double-click a group to edit it. Any idea on how to fix this? I tried using a different mouse...
Are you using "RightZoom" - this could be the reason.
Try Ctrl E to toggle out of GPU preview into CPU preview.

Try resetting your Illustrator preferences.
To do so:
For Macintosh Users: With Illustrator closed launch a Finder Window in column view and click on your home folder. With the Option Key pressed choose Library from the Finder Go Menu. Within the Library folder find the folder called Preferences and within it find the following two files and delete them: “Adobe Illustrator <Version #> Settings” (earlier versions of Illustrator might just say “Adobe Illustrator”) and “com.adobe.Illustrator.plist”. When Illustrator is next launched it will create new preference files and the program will be restored to its defaults.
After you’ve reset up the program (make sure that no document window is open) to your liking, it is a really good idea to create copies of your personalized “mint” preference files (make sure that you quit the program before copying them—that finalizes your customization) and use them in the future to replace any corrupt versions you may need to delete.
For Windows Users: Hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift when launching Illustrator and respond affirmatively when asked if you want to reset.

I really want to thank you for this comment. I had this for half a year and it was really, really annoying. I was looking for a solution, but couldn't find a solution.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem in Indesign (only the object moves up and to the left).
RightZoom was the reason. Thank you so much ...

I am having the same problem, and RightZoom is not the issue for me. Did you ever find out how to fix this issue?

I have no idea what rightzoom is but I was able to fix this issue by restarting my computer and illustrator.

Which version, which system?
If you are on MacOS, then check if you have a Window manager installed such as Rectangle or Magnet.

No, I don't have a window manager installed named Rectangle or Magnet. I still don't know what "Rightzoom" is. The only thing that fixes it, is closing illustrator, and reopening it.

Hello @marxmith,
I'm sorry to hear that the suggestions did not help. Would you mind decreasing the Tracking Speed and/or turning off Mouse Acceleration in macOS settings (https://adobe.ly/3TrF7zg) and then relaunching Illustrator to see if it helps?
Also, are you using a Pen or tablet device? If yes, try disabling it and share your observations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Anubhav

Hello @Simon Inkd,
We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind trying to run Illustrator under Safe Mode (Windows / macOS) and checking if it helps?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,

Have done so and again intermittently occurs. As soon as it occurs again I add a screen recording if I can.
