Layers shift on their own inside symbols

[sarituulia]

Hi,

I get this problem regularly. I'm working on a pretty large document with lots of symbols. 

Using the latest AD, Windows 10. I copied-pasted the symbol to a new document, same thing happens there. When I created a new document with a brand new symbol I created from scratch, I couldn't reproduce the problem. However, I've noticed that these problems start after a while of working on the document- all is fine and dandy in the beginning. I attached a document Test.afdesign containing the original symbol pasted in a new document.

What happens is that layers inside symbols shift on their own, even if I haven't touched that particular symbol. See screenshot: the layers have moved outside of the base layer. I had already fixed/redone the symbols earlier on as this same problem occurred the first time, but it does this again.

In the screenshots the problem is shown on symbol 'Leaf 1' and you can see in the Symbol panel that there are layers missing and it's displaying just the non-textured green base layer. The layers inside the base layer have shifted to a different location as seen on the second screenshot. I have not moved these manually, and they couldn't have been accidentally moved as I was working on a different leaf.

Hope you would be able to fix that bug as it significantly slows down the workflow.

I tested this again. I pasted a group (Peach 1), turned it into symbol (screenshot 2)

Once I rotated the symbol, you can see that even though in the artboard the symbol looks fine, it changed in the Symbol-studio (screenshot 3)

I can apparently copy the symbol on the artboard itself by alt+drag (the copied symbol is in the upper left corner, screenshot 4), but once I drag the symbol from Symbol studio, it's f'ed up as you can see in the symbol preview (screenshot 5)

One more test. I copied the symbol on the artboard, and once I start to rotate the copied symbol, the original gets messed up- see screenshots.

It's hard trying to get professional work done with this. 😟

Hi @sarituulia,

I managed to replicate this issue here. It seems to be caused by having a pixel layer clipped inside a different pixel layer. Issue now logged.

Thanks @Gabe , hope it'll get fixed soon

This is still an issue... I would consider this an urgent matter as Designer is also a pixel based software.
