Objects sliding when switching between outline and preview
Most of the times I'm working with quite simple graphics (preparing already existing logos and graphics for printing).
Sometimes when switching from preview to outline view, and back, I notice that some objects aren't where they are supposed to be. In outline view they are at their supposed position, but in preview they are somewhere else. It isn't a big problem when I notice it happening - the problem is when I don't and print it like that. When I notice it, moving the object, pressing unite, or several other actions will make the object pop back to their right place (like in outline view).
Interestingly the graphics will be printed at the position where its located in preview view, and not in outline view, where it is supposed to be.
I'm not sure whether I'm making any sense. Tried looking for it happening to others, but didn't find anything similar. It's been happening to me in bot Adobe illustrator 2019 and 2020 as well in the past 6 years. It doesn't occur daily, but quite often to be really annoying.
I've attached 2 screenshots depicting the issue. If I had printed the graphics like that, the output would have been the one in the preview and not the outline view.

Update: We've managed to reproduce this on Windows as well.
