Envelope distort: Using arrow keys to adjust bend and H/V distortion nudges object down the page
I am having a situation where I have created an arc envelope distortion of some text and, after committing my initial bend, decided to edit the distortion.
The problem is that, when I go back into Envelope Distort > Edit Envelope and increase (or decrease) the bend, H or V distortion in the toolbar, for every digit I go up or down, the object itself nudges down the page by 30-40 points.
I have changed the transformation reference point from the top to the center to the bottom of the object, but it doesn't matter. The object still nudges down the page.
I have done this with several different pieces of text which were all arc'd using the Make With Warp menu selection
I am on a 2017 MBP, Mojave, with 16GB RAM.
My expectation is that the object would remain at the starting coordinates on the artboard and I would see the object bend and/or distort in place.
What is happening is, the object is bending and distorting, but it is also nudging down the artboard at a pretty large rate of movement.
Hope this makes sense and that it helps you fix this bug.

I confirm this! IT should recalculate itself the same way the Bend initially behaves in the Warp Options dialog.
A workaround to this I use is to apply Effect > Warp > Arc instead, it behaves consistently both times, when applied and later edited through the Appearance panel.
