I wonder if the problem shown in the second part of the video in the comment below is till happening? Never seen the direction of the gradient flipped when hovered with Smart Guides enabled!
As for the first half of the video — this is actually normal for Illustrator. After dragging over an object with the Gradient tool, the gradient annotator get automatically repositioned so it goes through the center of the object. The appearance stays the same, only the annotator shifts. I suppose Ai makes it so that the controls are always within the bounds of objects, to minimize confusion when several objects with different gradients are selected altogether.
Affinity Designer does it differently, as well as Corel Draw — the annotator sticks exactly when it was drawn (also AD shows only one annotator at a time when several objects are selected).
Would you mind me splitting this into two entries: one bug report and one feature request?
