2. 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)

3. 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 is greyed out. I then have to re-select everything and re-select the master object while the 'Align' tool window is open for the distance box to become active. I find this very annoying and Illustrator CS5 didn't used to behave in this way. If this could be looked at please, it would be brilliant, thank you.

5. 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.

6. 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 result:
   The key object should stay put and the 2nd object moves to the specified distance from the key object.

   Note:
   Expanding the compound shape using the pathfinder palette and repeating the steps above causes the key object/spacing to behave as it is expected to.

   The attached video demonstrates the expected behaviour first and then highlights the issue. The video also shows a second issue whereby when you choose a key object without the Align palette at the forefront, the distribute spacing text entry point is greyed out.

   Could be related to the following issues:
   https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/32727160-smart-guides-does-not-align-to-compound-shapes

7. 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 un-useful behavior. The same thing happens with Distribute objects on Vertical Centers.

   I can’t imagine why one would want these features locked to the artboard. It makes them completely useless.

8. 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 this "supposed high level" program, it would be nice if it actually worked the way it's supposed to. You charge people access fees when you still don't have the program perfected. We should be charging you for helping you fix it instead.

9. In a Group (Isolation mode), cannot set a sub-Group as key-object for alignment

   Illustrator CC 2018
   Windows 10

   I 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.
