    Stuck with this bug and it's 2023! If I attempt to move points on an object using the Move panel, it doesn't matter if I enter positive or negative values, the points only ever move down. It's literally impossible to get points to move upwards using the move panel.

    I just updated to the newest version of Illustrator (27.8.1) and am experiencing this bug too. Feels like when Photoshop randomly reversed the function of the shift key when scaling. Why does Adobe do **** like this?

    I'm experiencing this same issue — it's nearly pointless to even have guides when they are this hard to see. On top of that, the way that the visibility turns "on" and "off" depending on what you are selecting is insanely distracting. I'm attaching a screen recording which makes these issues obvious.

    Adobe, we all give you $50+ a month. With the hundreds of millions of dollars at your disposal, you can absolutely afford to make guides not do this. And the answer better not be "just trash all of your preferences so that we don't have to fix this"

    Normally, the selection tool is used for selecting and transforming entire objects, whereas the direct selection tool is used for selecting and transforming individual anchors and handles. For whatever reason, it is not possible to select one or more anchors, and then transform them by entering a new X or Y coordinate. This defies the expected behavior of direct selection and makes Illustrator less useful. In InDesign, it is possible to move individual anchors using X and Y coordinates, so maybe the engineers forgot once again to make sure that the same tools behave the same way in different programs?

    I have another example of this bug and am including a test file as requested.
    You'll see that the bounding box resets every time a (rotational) transformation occurs, and the individual components suffer the same issue even after ungrouping the object. *BUT* the bounding box of a different object in the same file *DOES NOT* reset and behaves normally, inferring that this isn't a bug that is specific to a version of Illustrator or even a file. I am currently running CC 26.5 on an iMac OS Monterey 12.3.1.

    @Egor — it's interesting that you mention giving the user the ability to change the behavior. In the Procreate app, each bounding box has two handles, one controls rotation, and the other rotates the bounding box itself. In Illustrator, this could be achieved if there was a small lock / unlock icon attached to the bounding box. There is already precedence for this visually in how InDesign has the little box for linking text containers together.

    Egor — You're probably right. I guess bugs are the inherent nature of code and can't be attributed to the fault of an engineer, and it's also not possible to find every bug through quality control.

    Responding to Egor — yes, if this happens to me again, I can be sure to save a file with the problematic object. I guess I mistakenly figured the engineers would know how their own software works and would eliminate the ability of the bounding box to become detached from the transformations of objects. The problem is that this behavior comes and goes, so I don't know when I'll experience it next, or how I can force it to happen.

    'started to work on' — Why is it normal for Adobe to implement drastic changes with no warning, forcing users to convert to new workflows while waiting for fixes to be eventually implemented? This is especially frustrating when the updates are not intuitive, disrupt workflows, and and not able to be turned off (recent 'zoom to selected' also comes to mind). I've had to revert back to CC 2017 due to this new terrible artboard behavior.
