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.

Key anchor align mode gets activated when not actually needed
Imagine I have an art I I want to move side points to be on the artboard's edge. There's a background underneath my piece and it's not locked (and I'm not in Outline mode) — so I can't marquee my 2 side points. What I do in this GIF is I click one point and then Shift+click another one. AI switches the mode to 'Key anchor', thinking that... I don't know what it's thinking :) and obviously pressing proper Align button does nothing.
I know what Key Anchor does :) But it's not what I want now. And it would…

Align to Key Object not selectable unless Tool panel is open
BUG REPORT: "Align to Key Objects" is (sporadically) not selectable as an align method, unless objects are selected while the Tool Panel is open.
If this panel is closed during object selection, then the "Align to Key Objects" option is greyed out in both the Toolbar and in the Tool Panel (even after it is expanded/opened). This does not happen on every occasion.
(Running Illustrator CC 2019 on Mac OS 10.14.2)

Distribute Spacing field is disabled if you set a key object BEFORE opening Align panel
Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), Illustrator 24.0.1 (64-bit)
If I wish to align / distribute two or more objects in Illustrator, if I select the objects and click on the 'master object' BEFORE I go to the 'Align' tool window, the distance box remains greyed out as you can see in one of the screenshots below. I find this very annoying, for example, I may have previously been on the 'Transform' tool window sizing my objects, then I copy them a few times and select them all, select a master object then go to the 'Align' window and the distance box…

Distribute spacing units work wrong
Hello,
Illustrator 23.0.2. I use "cm" units in whole software, but Distribute Spacing right now working only in points...
I think your software is falling down year by year.

Align to compound shape / key object bug (CC 23.0.1 / Win 7)
While trying to distribute spacing using the Align palette, I've noticed a strange align bug which only appears to affect compound shapes when trying to align to a key object.
Steps to recreate:
1. Select two objects, one of which is a compound shape
2. Make the compound shape the key object (click on it while selected)
3. Set a distribute spacing distance in the Align palette, and click on the horizontal/vertical distribute spacing button.Result:
The key object moves by the preset amount set and the second object get spaced from the key object by the same amount.Expected…

Align Objects and Distribute objects tools changed behavior
Windows 10, Illustrator CC 22.1
Align to right and align to top are the only alignment tools functioning correctly in all three alignment modes (artboard, key object, selection). None of the distribution tools are working in any mode.
In the 22.1 update, the Align Objects and Distribute objects tools changed behavior. Before, if I selected say, 5 objects and clicked the Align Horizontal Center tool, they would align on a mutual horizontal center. Now, they align to the center of the artboard, apparently, which is often completely offscreen when I’m zoomed in. This is a very confusing and almost totally…

Align function not working properly in Illustrator CC 2017
I don't know what category this goes into because I'm not a developer. You could at least provide categories for users instead of for developers. Your program is extremely frustrating to use. It's not designed to be very user friendly. I wish Macromedia Freehand were still around, because I would be using it instead of Illustrator. I have an alignment error that happens when I select all and then use the "align to horizontal center" and "align to vertical center". I have complained about this before and no one replied to it. Since I am paying monthly for access to…

In a Group (Isolation mode), cannot set a sub-Group as key-object for alignment
Illustrator CC 2018
Windows 10I have a Group, containing other sub-Groups.
I enter Isolation mode by double-clicking on the Group.
Once inside, I select all sub-Groups and want to set one of them as key-object for alignment. I can't.
It works with single objects but not with sub-Groups. It's very handicapping.10 votesThis issues is no longer reproducible, tested this on 26.1. Closing this issue, please add your comment if you still see this issue.
