When a mesh object is set as a key for aligning, the edge of it doesn’t look bold
When you click an object to mark it as a key object for aligning, Ai draws a fat bold edge around it. Works fine, but not for meshes. Need to be fixed.

Align to Center fails on imported .AI file, continuously moves right
Mac OS Monterey 12.4
Intel Core i5
Adobe Illustrator (desktop) 26.3.1When I use the align panel or the toolbar to align the Great Seal of California, an imported .AI file, to the center of the artboard, it instead moves a number of pixels to the right. After multiple attempts, it moves to the edge of the artboard. This error does not affect other assets in the document. The error persists when switching from "align to artboard" to "align to selection".
See attached file.

Most probably it happens because of the Align to Pixel Grid option switched on, as per comments. Try to disable it and see if it changes anything.

Align to Artboard
Please fix "Align To..." bug or new feature. I never use "Align to Selection" and many times it automatically switches to "Align to Selection" on its own. I always use "Align to Artboard" and I like that it automatically changes to "Align to Key Object" when I select a key object and goes back to my preferred Align to preference "Align to Artboard" when I do not select a key object. Because it is not stay on my preferred "Align to Artboard" and, on its own changes to "Align to Selection" it causes a problem, for example since my preferred…

Distribute objects doesn't work properly in a large-canvas document. In the example. I applied a spacing of 2 inches, but a x10 multiplier is automatically applied, so the spacing is actually 20 inches.

Guides are invisible
The update made my guides disappear unless I click on the objet or art-board. It would be ok, but when I use the arrows to move the guides they disappear and I can't see how far I have moved them. May I change this update back to how it was.

Align to artboard when starting up
When you first start illustrator up in the newest version 25.4.1 the align to artboard tool will switch to align to selection if multiple objects are selected. If you select align to selection and then align to artbaord the issue will not happen and only happens when the program is first launched. Once you have gone to selection and then back to artbaord the issue will not happen again.

(Align to) broken more than not
Illustrator version 25.4.1
Mac 10.15.7(Align to) works SOMETIMES, and other times not so much. Doesn't matter if it's set to align to artboard, objects, or selected. Currently can only get it to work properly by shutting down & restarting every time I need to center something after successfully working ONCE. Here's what happens;
- Layer 1, align to center, worked.
- Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 inches to right.
- Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 more inches to right.
- Layer 2, align to left, art does nothing.
- Layer 2, align to center, art moves another 4…

Non-proper alignments
This has been an ongoing issue since CS first began. Never had a problem with the old 10 or lower. If you grab a node from an object and move it say, to latch on to nearest node or object, it almost always picks some random and sometimes distant node or object, including itself (shown here). Should it not latch to nearest node? In order to properly latch, you have to pull out a guideline and place it where you want it to go, in order for it to recognize where to latch.

Aligning a group of objects to an artboard
A bug in Align to Artboard. If I align a group of objects to Horizontal Align Center (to artboard), it's okay. But if the next click is Vertical Align Center (to artboard), all the objects of the group are aligned, not the group, but the seperate objects.
A workaround is to click somewhere else, and then click the Vertical Align Center. But it looks like a bug to me.

Align To mode gets changed from Align To Artboard to other modes on its own
Over the past several Major updates to Illustrator, the Align to function's Default setting keeps getting changed. I prefer to have control over that. As all past versions of Illustrator have allowed. For me: Align to Artboard.
With the last version capable of running on HIGH SIERRA it was BROKEN AGAIN !!!!
Adobe's response is to buy a new computer.
My feeling is Adobe should FIX that last High Sierra version.
In the middle of a Pandemic/Economic uncertainty, this is not the time to screw customers.

Objects don’t align properly to artboards with guides placed on canvas
While guides have been placed in artboard objects will no longer align to artboard rather they extend far beyond the current artboard.
At the moment the only solution I've found to work is clearing the guides.
Thanks!

In Illustrator 2020 the changes to Align tool window are a headache. Defaulting to align by key object .... Very frustrating defaults.

Align Text box with Object
Using Windows 7 or High Sierra and Illustrator 24.2
Align text with any object is not aligned properly. Presently it takes text box and actual height/width of text and aligns object width/height.
I understand this is way Illustrator text work, but can changed/update so can properly aligns. Hoping to get it resolved in near coming versions.
The alignment should work like Indesign or any vector program. Check attachment.
3 votesYou can now choose to align to preview bound of a type object, using Align to Glyph Bounds option in Align panel’s menu.
Please comment back if you have any problems with that.

The latest update is now causing 'align to top' to behave like 'align to bottom', and 'align to left' to behave like 'align to right'
The alignment tools never had this problem until the latest update. Wish I hadn't updated since it's now slowing my workflow. Please consider fixing this issue on the next update.
