Random illustrator text-element not moving

[Frans van der Vleuten]

Look at this video:

No, it is not locked. No, it is not in a locked layer. It is just randomly not going to move. I can only move this element ith the arrow keys. I can also nog select it righht.

What is happening here???

Can you share the file?

[Frans van der Vleuten]

Yeah, no problem @Doug A Roberts. Maybe you need the font as well.

It shouldn't make a difference, just the AI file.

[Frans van der Vleuten]

I just added the file, thanks!

[Doug A Roberts]

Where did you add it?

[Frans van der Vleuten]

Here. I added it tto this reply. It is probably not working, like all Adobe apps. So annoying.

I have made a WeTransfer link: https://we.tl/t-yR0hA4DAry

Was this file created in Illustrator?

Illustrator thinks all the text objects have some appearance attribute, but nothing is visible in the appearance panel.

The bugged text objects do not appear in layer panel thumbnails.

Hi @Frans van der Vleuten,

Thanks for sharing the file. It seems like the file might be malfunctioning, as you’ve noticed some odd behavior. I suggest creating a new file and copying & pasting the content from the problematic one. This often resolves the issue. If this doesn’t fix it or you face this issue frequently with other files, let us know, and we can investigate further. I understand how frustrating this can be, and we want to help resolve it for you!

Best,
Anshul Saini
