Bug in entering number values in transform panel
Version: CC 22 (and has happened in previous versions)
OS: Windows 10
There is a small bug that happens often when using the transform panel. I use it a lot to move and size objects with precision. Many times, I will want to move an object with the X and Y values. I will type a number, press enter and a completely different number value will automatically appear in the box and move it to that value. For example, I want to move an object to 4.25" in the Y axis and after I press enter, a value of 36.0833" appears and moves it to that value. It can happen up to three times before the number I want finally sticks. It is a minor inconvenience but would be great if this got fixed.
Thanks.
It is now obvious the issue was not fixed fully. The developers are aware of it now. Let’s hope it will be fixed soon enough.
If you have a solid order of steps which reproduce this behavior, share them in comments, because only some machines are affected. Please help the team to isolate it.

Same issue, noticed it happens when you "tab" between fields. First field will get set, second field will not change the object. I end up de-selecting then selecting again to set the second field. Happens both when I tab between X: and Y:, Y: will not set as well has tabbing between W: and H:, H: will not change on the object.

Illustrator 22.0.0
Entered a measurement of W - 600mm and H - 230mm in the transform tool box but the H measurement randomly changed to H - 544mm and H - 883mm, sometimes it will stay at 230mm but can randomly change to another number.
