  1. Paragraph Styles in Illustrator are Hot Garbage

    Adobe, fix this already. Don't waste any more time investing in AI **** until this kind of stuff is fixed.

  2. Text gets launched into the ether

    When moving text in any sort of way (keyboard, click and drag), it would completely disappear from the artboard and launch itself either to the top left corner of the boundary or way outside to the light grey area. Screenshot of the latter is attached. The text outline/boundary box shows up where it is supposed to be on the artboard, but it is untouchable and out of bounds.

    Copying and pasting the text seems to have temporality fixed the issue. It's not the biggest problem, just kind of funny and a little annoying after the 5th time.

  3. Dimension tool doesn't measure correctly

    So, I went to measure a dieline with the Dimension tool and it measured 9". However, when i selected the dieline and went to the Properties it said it was 8.5". When I actually printed it out and measured it, it was 8.5". This tool is not working correctly. See attached images for further explanation/verification.

    Maybe I am doing something wrong? Can't figure out what that would be though. Thank you for looking into this!

    The problem was in the '0' picked as the Precision value in Dimension Tool Options instead of default '0.00'. If you have this value changed by itself, without you ever changing it manually — please comment.

  4. Dimension markers on drawings are not displayed when opening dxf files in Illustrator 2024

    When drawing data exported from CAD software by dxf conversion is opened in Illustrator 2024, dimension line markers are not displayed. 2021 displays them. This may be a bug.

  6. Bugs when saving PDF files: Adobe Illustrator has stopped working

    When saving a file as Ai or PDF, it often happens that Illustrator hangs/stops working and displays the message: Adobe Illustrator 2024 has stopped working. Please verify the error, because we cannot save projects, sometimes it works, but most of the time the program crashes.

  9. SVG Imports with missing/changing colors

    This svg file opens correctly in browsers and even converts correctly in Inkscape, but in Illustrator all the colors change.

    I'm using the latest illustrator as of May 2024 on Windows 11.

    I tried attaching the SVG file but it gets removed for not being supported, nice...

  10. Illustrator 2024 Freezes When I Click Save

    Anytime the Save button is pressed, it opens the dialog box and immediately freezes. All of the buttons are grayed out besides the option to save to Creative Cloud itself. I cannot save to my computer or hard drive (both have tons of memory). I tried to use Illustrator 2023 and it didn't work either.
    I'm running a Macbook Pro 2019 with 32gb RAM and Version 12.3.

  13. パス上文字のテキストが消え、パスだけが残る

    ver28.5

    円弧のパスに、パス上文字ツールで作成したテキストが消えてしまう。

    パス上文字ツールを使ったファイルを、「ファイル - 書き出し」で、「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「web用に保存(従来)」のいずれかの作業を行うと、パス上のテキストが消えた画像が書きされる。

    書き出し画面から編集画面に戻って来るとテキストは表示されているが、虫眼鏡ツールで編集画面の倍率を変更した直後にテキストが消えてしまい、円弧のパスだけになってしまう。

    テキストが消えパスだけになった状態だと、
    アウトライン表示で確認しても、テキストが消えパスのみになってしまっている。
    アウトラインを取ると文字もパスも消えた状態になってしまう。

    また円弧だけになったパスに、文字ツールを使ってクリックすると、元々入力していたテキストが復活し、何事もなかったように編集できるようになる。

  16. Application crashes when pressing back arrow when inside symbol

    OS: Windows 11 Home
    AI Version: 27.8.1

    Context:
    The application crashes when I press the "back arrow" button while editing a symbol. The symbol I tried to edit was one that I had created myself and added to the list of symbols.

    Steps:
    1. Double click on the created symbol in the symbol menu to start editing it.
    2. Click the back arrow in the top left, as seen in the picture provided.
    3. The program will crash anytime that arrow is clicked.

  18. I can't change stroke colour after I used the shape builder tool

    After using the shape building tool to combine shapes together to create a specific shape and change the stroke to a colour with a specific stroke weight then later when I try to change the stroke colour it does nothing, it show up different when it's in isolation mode though. I've tried to add a thicker stroke line and that shows the new colour I've chosen behind the first colour so the shape developed two stroke colours in one and I have no idea how to fix it, even if I copy and paste the shape then try to change…
