pathfinder moves objects. Will not place objects where they are

[roncurington]

pathfinder moves objects. Will not place objects where they are. I first started having this problem with the akign tool I finaly found the align to pixel grid and that solved the problem with not being able to align objects on the center.

Well I thought it solved the problem until I started trying to use the pathfinder too to cut out shapes . I'm trying to create a house icon / glyph. But so far every time I try to apply any effect it moves  / rearranges the objects.

I've attached a before and after screenshot.

The issue seems to be mostly horizontal..

Anyone have any ideas on what I' missing?

Actually as I study it more it is also moving one object vertically.

The big square is moving upwards . I thought at first the small blue square was moving horizontally but i suppose it could just be the big square moving both horizontally and vertically.

Anyone have any suggestions where I might find the solution to this issue?

Looks like this is an older version.

Watch out for the Align to pixel grid setting:

Illustrator: Problems with Align to pixel grid

It's CS6 local install.

And yes I think I mentioned  that... unless there is an align to pixel toggle for the pathfinder

Also guides won't go where I place them.

Have you read the link I posted? You need to turn off align to pixel grid for the objects you already have as well as for new objects.
