I found the issue @Kiron Bondale - the shapes are inside a Table, and in this case, it doesn’t allow such type of manipulation.

I need to remove the Shapes out of the Table, manipulate them, and get them back into the table.

That makes sense. The grid object has lots of great capabilities but it also overrides some of the default behavior of the objects which you drop into its cells. Locking is one example of this, so I’m not surprised that alignment would also be affected.

I understand @Kiron Bondale , but I can’t agree. In the end, this is a manipulation of only a specific sub-set (and common) elements within a layer (grid). It shouldn’t change the properties of this subset.

 

It would be good if we can raise this as a bug or enhancement to Miro’s team, but I have no clue on how to do it. Thoughts?

I believe the Miro team is already aware of this but am tagging @Lena Shenkarenko to confirm…
