It has popped up again. Creating a brand new document, the horizontal (landscape) orientation is selected by default. I enter a dimension for the width (in this case, 25.5 in.), tab down to get to the height field, but as soon as I do that, it has me back in the width field and it has removed my previous entry. It's something to do with when you tab, when it hits the orientation toggle (which is the 2nd thing in the tab sequence, for some reason, instead of going right to the height after the width: width field -> orientation -> height; is there a way to make the orientation not happen until *after* you've tabbed/entered both dimensions?).
At any rate, I may try toggling that legacy option that's been mentioned.
Thank you!

Hi, Egor,
Sorry for my delay. Some busy days at work, and I'm just now having time to reply.
Yes, I think what you're describing is similar to what I was experiencing (the orientation). However, I just installed today's Illustrator update and I am not having same experience (yet), so maybe something was addressed?
I'll give it a few days and see if it pops up again and will respond back as soon as I'm able.

Sorry, I misspoke, it's not the orientation that's the 2nd thing in the tab sequence, it's the unit of measure (inches). As soon as it hits that, it causes the "shift" and it changes the entry in the width field, so I have to go back and change it (there have been times where I have been just going so fast and I don't notice it's done that and I end up with a document that's not the right size and so I have to go back and re-create it).
Yet it doesn't happen every time, which is the mind-boggling part. If it works correctly sometimes, why does it behave incorrectly other times?
