Align text bug?

[Morten_Hjort]

I've never had any issues in prior versions to align text, but I'm no longer able to do basic alignments in v1.7.2

Hi Morten_Hjort,

I've just tried this myself and it is working on a new document. Could you attach a copy of the offending document please?

In new docs it also works. Also had issue with paragraphs, but somehow that suddenly works. I've had more bugs with the 1.7 than 1.6 so far :l

Thanks for the file. This isn't actually a bug, and has the same behaviour as 1.6. The reason you can't use the Align options is that those objects have Constraints applied, which will always cause Alignment options to be ignored. Turning of the Top Left and Top constraints will allow you to align the objects.

But I'm 100% sure I haven't actively set it to use Constraints. If so it has done it automatically when I grouped some content.

Unfortunately I'm unable to answer what might have happened there, that is something you may have to keep an eye on. Anything with constraints in should be inside a 'Constraints Group' rather than just a 'Group', so that is slightly strange!
