    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

    Ok, I got it to work! From the admin's response, it wasn't clear on where to go to find this "Align To." Especially if you don't use the Align window tool and have it set in your Control Bar. So, just go to your Align window under Tools, in the bottom right corner, click "Align To" then a drop-down menu will come up with "Align to Selection, Align to Key Object, Align to Artboard." You may need to click on one and then click back to what you want, but it does work once you get there. Hope this helps some people!
