I'm using a dutch version of Adobe Illustrator 23.1 (64-bit) on windows 10 pro.
When I set the reference point to the middle of a circle (or anywhere else) it jumps back as soon as I want to set a value. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, can someone please help me.

With the rotate tool Alt-click the reference point. This will open the dialog box and keep the point.

Hey, mostly when this goes wrong, these things can be the problem:
If it doesn't work you can try to reset the Illustrator Preferences: restart Illustrator, hold Ctrl-Alt-Shift directly after you clicked the Illustrator button. Hope this helps!

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. As per your query, when you press ALT and drag reference point, it doesn't open Rotate dialog box. That's definitely not a typical behavior.
Please try this once again in this sequence.

PS: Please note the changes in cursor.

This same thing happened to me. I noticed that when I try to pull up the pop up box by clicking on 'return', the reference point jumps. Instead, if I am in the still in the 'rotate tool' and hover my cursor over the reference point and click 'option', the pop up box for the rotate tool comes up and does not move my reference point.
