Lines Go "Crooked" When Moved by Keyboard Arrows

Thomas, this bug has been around for quite some time. One of the more recent forum threads:

https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/the-line-changes-its-angle-automatically-when-moved-vertically 

Back in August, I prepared this video illustrating the problem for Articulate Support to review:

https://360.articulate.com/review/content/7179c4b4-03f4-41c9-a6ab-afc46df08aab/review 

As noted in the video, a workaround is to click the line (rather than select it via the timeline or by clicking and dragging around it) before moving it. That's an easy fix when you have one or two lines to move but very time consuming if you a whole bunch of ungrouped lines to move.

My support contact was able to replicate the problem in a sample file I provided but I'm not aware of a permanent fix yet.

Are you by chance, holding down the shift key while selecting the arrow keys?

Holding down shift when drawing a line helps keep it straight.  But holding shift when using the arrow keys will move the end of the line at an angle.

Steve,

Thanks for your response. Hopefully a permanent fix will be made in a software update soon. 

Thanks, 

I will add too that even if i try to undo it (Ctrl + Z) it won't go back to straight. It's very frustrating.

Have the same problem and it is intermittent. My workaround is make it a group. Never happens when you group the lines.  Here is a sample video. Not I had to hide sensitive info so just watch the lines.
