Symbol instances do not keep their position

[aleale1]

Symbol instances populated along text path if they are center aligned, do not keep their position after saving and reopening the document. 
Do as the following:
1. Create a path and convert it to a text path.
2. Create any shape and convert it to a symbol.
3. Copy symbol instance to the clipboard, then paste it several times on a text path.
4. Assign Center Alignment to this text path.
5. Save and close this document.
6. Reopen this document.
7. Watch how your symbol instances on a text path got shifted.

Hi aleale1,

I've just tried this myself and the shape appeared to have kept its centre alignment. Do you have a file you could attach that we could try to reproduce the issue with please? 

I've attached a copy of the file I've used - when setting the Centre Alignment from the context toolbar it saves and reopens correctly.

Hi Sean P.
It’s indicated in my third step above: “paste it several times(!) on a text path.”
So make your blue symbol smaller and populate it 3 times along your path. Save, close, reopen and you’ll see what I mean.

Ahh got you, sorry! I've reproduced and passed this on to development. Thanks for letting us know.
