Question

Objects move after zooming out with keyboard shortcut CTRL - (Illustrator CC2017 Windows)

Can anybody help me with this? This is very annoying:

Almost every time I zoom out using keyboard shortcut (ctrl -) the objects that are selected move a notch down (same increment as if I used Down Arrow to nudge).

I remember this being an issue in something like Illustrator 8.0 or 9.0 and I can't believe that this bug still exists today!

    Hello @giuseppezagariagd,

    We understand that encountering technical issues can be frustrating. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator, system config (CPU/GPU/Monitor/Tablet), and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/45o0fLs), so we can investigate this further?


    Looking forward to hearing from you.

     

    Thanks,

    Anubhav

    I have just tried to replicate the issue and I can't..? I am also on Windows version 2017.0.2

    Have you tried resetting your preferences..?

    I have tried resetting my preferences as you suggested and the problem persists.

    It happens when I'm using the move tool, one or more objects are selected and I use "Ctrl -" shortcut to zoom out but only when I hit and release keys quickly - when I wait a while with "ctrl" still pressed - the object won't move. It's easier to observe this phenomenon when working on heavy files with lots of elements/symbol instances - but I also was able to replicate it in a new file with just a rectangle and a line directly after restarting illustrator.

    BTW I'm on Windows 7 64 if it makes any difference...
