This is because in pd-l2ork first press on tidy up aligns objects to
the closest axis. This can sometimes make objects overlap, even
though they are aligned across a desired axis (e.g. if you duplicate
an object a couple times and then try to align it with duplicated
objects). That is why there is the second press which spaces out
objects according to the shortest space between them unless the
shortest space is an actual overlap in which case it respaces it by
a default spacing value that is applied to the right side of the
object to the left. Now, if you can understand what I wrote in one
read, go get yourself (if age < 21 && location == USA;
then popsicle; else beer;)<br>
