Petar Petrenko Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Hi, look at this example. The triangles are outside the layer. Now, when I select all elements and try to group them, the house is moved toward the triangles. If you put them inside the layer everthing is OK. Is this normal? proba.afdesign Quote All the latest releases of Designer, Photo and Publisher (retail and beta) on MacOS and Windows. 15” Dell Inspiron 7559 i7 ● Windows 10 x64 Pro ● Intel Core i7-6700HQ (3.50 GHz, 6M) ● 16 GB Dual Channel DDR3L 1600 MHz (8GBx2) ● NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB GDDR5 ● 500 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD ● UHD (3840 x 2160) Truelife LED - Backlit Touch Display 32” LG 32UN650-W display ● 3840 x 2160 UHD, IPS, HDR10 ● Color Gamut: DCI-P3 95%, Color Calibrated ● 2 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort 13.3” MacBook Pro (2017) ● Ventura 13.6 ● Intel Core i7 (3.50 GHz Dual Core) ● 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 ● Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB ● 500 GB SSD ● Retina Display (3360 x 2100) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 It may well be 'normal' behaviour. I say that because you have a Layer with three elements and a group outside that layer with two elements. I have never worked like that. It is certainly very unexpected behaviour, and in my opinion a bug. If you have everything in the Layer or out of the layer then nothing moves. That is expected, the not moving.

Petar Petrenko Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 5 minutes ago, Old Bruce said: I have never worked like that. Me, too. I did it by mistake and it took me a few minutes before I realised they are outside the layer. I think it is a bit confusing because artboards are treated as layers. They have to have their own panel like pages in Publisher.

Pšenda Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 This is probably an bug(?), where nested objects from groups/layers are incorrectly(?) merged into a next group. If parent layers/groups are selected, they will be merged into the next group correctly. So the question is - how should merging nested elements from two different groups/layers actually work properly? P.S. not only will the objects be moved from one group to another, but the position of some elements will also change - which I think is a bug. This bug (position change) does not occur, if they are both Layers.

Staff Dan C Posted January 11, 2022 Staff Share Posted January 11, 2022 Hi @NNN, Thanks for your report and file provided! I've been able to replicate this with your file and I am logging it with our developers now - as there are no constraints applied, I would not expect these layers to move when being grouped. I hope this helps Petar Petrenko 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
