    Hi Everyone,

    We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 24.2.1 which is available worldwide now. Thanks for your patience on this.

    Please note that after upgrading you might still see that Align To sets itself to Align to Key Object. If you see this, please manually set the Align To to the required setting, and this reported bug will not happen again. You’ll need to this one time only.

    The reason Align To might get set to Key Object after update is because Ai remembers your last Align To on subsequent launches as well. So, if your last Align To was Key Object before quitting/upgrading, after first multi-selection, it will set itself to Key Object. After you manually change it one-time, it will work fine.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Well, you may think you have fixed the bug but the Align function no longer allows me to space out a set of tick marks along the axes of a graph. I work out, and create, the number of ticks required along the x and or y axis. I place one of the ticks at the left end of the x axis and then move another tick mark to the right end of the x axis, then use the Distribute Spacing option to distribute all of the tick marks equally spaced along the axis. Now I have to know exactly the length of the x axis, and then calculate out the spacing value needed etc - what a waste of my time. I have been using this technique since the first version of Illustrator in the mid 80s!!!

    Why was this capability removed from this option?????
