Why are the measurements different in the Properties Transform palettes in Illustrator CC?

Question

I don’t even really understand the difference between the two panels. The second one puts the Y coord at .75″ (correct), and the first one says it’s at 0. I also occasionally notice that the widths and heights are different—not just rounded—and the second panel will be labeled “Rectangle.” Can someone please explain what’s going on here?

The properties panel sometimes doesn’t update for certain properties (e.g if you change the units from in to px for artboard from ruler, it won’t update unless you deselect the artboard and then re select it) maybe that’s the case.

Hmm... I suspect a glitch with your file - I can't duplicate this - in my file, the two palettes show corresponding data.

And when clicking on the "more here" ellipsis in the palette corner - more of the same - corresponding data.

I think I'm going to suggest copying elements out a layer at a time into a brand new .ai file.
