This has been happening for a long time, since X3 at least (currently using X6). If I select an object and then click and drag the numbers in the object position box then type in a new value, sometimes the object moves, sometimes it doesn't. I don't see any pattern to when it works or not. Sometimes the new value stays sometimes it doesn't. If it stays and the object didn't move then I can just click in the box and press enter then the object moves. It does the same thing with X and Y coordinates.
Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on what's going on?
anyone? Bueller? anyone?
I can confirm this has happened to me exactly as you described on all my machines. I too would like to know why.
