Kerning pairs aren't working as pairs

Glyphs
1

I’m trying to kern letter pairs like VA per your blog post tutorial. I have three words spelled out: “VAND”, “WAND” and “LAND”. When I put my cursor between the V and the A and use CTRL+OPT+SHIFT+Left/Right, it is kerning ALL of the A’s, instead of just the pair between V and A. You can see this is causing a problem for L and A. I’ve tried unlocking the lock, but as soon as I start typing the keyboard shortcut for kerning, it locks again and it still kerns for every instance of “A”.

Why is this not working correctly? In my Kerning window, it shows the group as @O with the subset of A, instead of the V group with a subset of A.

Please help!

It seems that the V, W and L belong to the same kerning group.

They aren’t. I made sure to clear out all kerning pairs in my kerning window. Here’s a screenshot of my kerning window.

The kerning window does not show the classes. You need to check the classes field of each letter. There are fields labeled with “G:” in the glyph info box. There seems to be a “0” (zero) in the right side of those glyphs.

Got it, thanks. It was hard to find the location of the classes field of each letter.
