Symbol transformation "Reset" button sometimes greyed out
Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4
I have several instances of a Symbol on my Artboard, and each has been transformed.
Some of these instances displays the "Reset" button when I select them, some others don't, and I have no choice but to use the Symbol panel. Why??!?

Maybe this helps someone: I had the same problem and for me this seems to appear when the symbol is part of a group. If it's released from the group, it can be reset.

Stéphanie, I meant the document file, not the video file :)
I see what is happening, but it does not happening for me.
So I ask you to share this map, because it can be a specific issue for this specific case. -

Dear Egor,
I have attached a file containing this behaviour in the original post: "Symbol-Reset.mov" or "Symbol-Reset-720.mov" (same file, resized). Can you see it?
In it, you can see 2 instances of the same symbol (a black rectangle called "Gare").
The one located on the map in the top left corner displays the "Reset" button ("Réinitialiser" in French), but the one located in the legend does not. I can only reset it by using the panel menu.

Can you provide the file that behaves like this for you, please?

(I hope the vid is OK, I had to resize it.)
