Hey guys,

    so it's a pattern for whatever reason. pretty odd way to achieve that... but anyway. check 'Transform both' in the transform panel. the pattern should then move with the object.

    so what's in this group? what object actually has the fill? is it a clipping mask, a pattern maybe?

    It looks like this when I ungroup it.
    But if you try to move and resize the black square:

    It's not my design but I have to do the prepress. I can rasterize it with transperent background but I need it vector.

    yeah but you can check the appearance panel, layers, outline mode etc... what is creating the blur fill?
