1. Reproducible crash > flatten transparency w/ text to outlines, then direct selection

   I've been getting a lot of crashes after flattening a linked PDF and then selecting an area with a significant amount of vector outlines (i.e. a few paragraphs of text or a complex drawing). Illustrator instantly crashes when I make the selection with the white arrow direct selection tool.

   I can send you an example PDF and AI file that contains a full explanation of how to reproduce the crash. To be clear, it's not just this PDF file – I'm getting crashes with many different PDF files from various sources when I perform similar operations on them.

   This is a new problem that I did not experience on older Illustrator versions.

2. Size issue importing from Illustrator to After Effects

   When exporting from a large size canvas Illustrator file and importing into After Effects there is a bug. It imports all of the elements at 10% of the correct size so they appear tiny in After Effects.

3. Letter "N" symbol instead of hyphen when hyphenation is activated

   Hi,

   We have a problem with a certain file. After first auto activation of a font, the hyphen character is replaced by a "N". When we then close the file, not Illustrator, so fonts stay active and simply reopen the file, the hyphen is displayed correctly.

   We use Connect Fonts for fontmanagement, but apparently the problem is on the Adobe side (according to Extensis)

   OS: Windows 11 and MacOS Sonoma (latest version)
   Most recent version of Illustrator

4. Strange behaviour when scaling rectangles

   In Illustrator 28.4.1 on Windows 11, if a rectangle is rotated to 45, 135, 225, or 315 degrees, it isn't able to be reliably manually scaled. Some edge and corner handles snap to unpredictable positions when dragged.

7. Cut/Copy/Paste shortcuts

   This is pestering me for more than a month now. Whenever i need to cut or copy objects/vectors, It just won't paste. I had to undo stuff before trying again and again and again and againnnnnnnnnn just to work!! Its not on my hardware i suppose since copy paste outside illustrator is just fine. This bug in illustrator is such a headache that it decreases my efficiency in work by 50%!!!! And im so worried that if Adobe still refuse to fix this bug, I might break my keyboard with all this endless tries of ctrl C and V! And FYI I already tried all those recommended solutions in Adobe community and nothing works!!!!!!!!

8. Illustrator pulls clippings masks to the top of their clip groups when a document is reopened

   1. Make a simple clipping group
   2. Select clipping path only
   3. Fill it
   4. Send it to back
   5. Save and close the file
   6. Open the file back Illustrator will move the clipping mask back to the top of the group.

   Why this is important?
   1. Because if we release a clipping group that has the filled clipping path below clipped object, it stays below.
   2. Because when we use isolation mode, Illustrator will allow to select children only when the filled clipping mask is below the clipped objects.

   Take a look at the GIF attached, that shows three methods possible with colored clippings masks.

   1. Magenta one. This is what Draw Inside makes. As mentioned in the video, we can’t click the filled background to select the clipping group. We can isolate it by clicking the black circle and select the child, but not the clipping path.

   2. Cyan one. This is a magic trick I use to force Ai to do what it should. If you use compound path as a clipping path, we CAN click and move the group. However, when we isolate, the compound clipping path prevents us from selecting children.

   3. Green one. If me put the compound clipping path below children, we can select both the background and children as expected. This is how is should work, no matter if the clipping path is compound or if it’s below or not. This is the only one of three that keeps the background below children when clipping groups are released.

   Alas, there are several problems with the variant 3.

   1. It requires manually creating a compound path.

   2. It requires manually putting it below.

   3. It won’t be treated properly with Crop command in Pathfinder (you’d have to Flatten Transparency first).

   4. This exact report — Illustrator will put it back on top when we close and reopen the file.

   This problem is one of many that prevents us to embracing colored clipping masks and use workaround like separate backgrounds.

   This is why videos like this have to be made:

   Draw Inside Mode in Illustrator? Noooo! Make a Clipping Mask! — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNIwmhB-DP8

   Draw Inside vs. Make Clipping Mask – Which Is Better? — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiDWljk6S-4

   1. Make a simple clipping group
   2. Select clipping path only
   3. Fill it
   4. Send it to back
   5. Save and close the file
   6. Open the file back Illustrator will move the clipping mask back to the top of the group.

   Why this is important?
   1. Because if we release a clipping group that has the filled clipping path below clipped object, it stays below.
   2. Because when we use isolation mode, Illustrator will allow to select children only when the filled clipping mask is below the clipped objects.

9. Using a # in layer name and saving as SVG does not properly save layer names

   In the newest Adobe Illustrator version 28.4.1 when naming a layer with the # and saving as an SVG the export file when opened does not include the # in the layer name. This has never been an issue in previous illustrator versions, and for the work I do I rely on that naming convention to work with the system we integrate SVGs with. I've had to downgrade to a previous version where this does not occur.

10. All Text is not visible and Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large issue.

    I opened a project I was working on last week this morning and encountered this issue. All my text is not visible and I cannot move any text boxes without an error message coming up stating: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large. I tried all the other solutions listed that could be found on Google and this forum. It happens for every project I open. I attached images of what I see and the error message.

11. Illustrator keep crashing

15. Back with a vengeance: Constrain (shift key) doesn't work with Smart Guides turned on

    This is an older bug that was fixed a while ago but seems to be back with a vengeance.

    It is now happening in Adobe Illustrator 28.4 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1.

    See this link:

    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/36247978-constrain-shift-key-doesn-t-work-with-smart-guid

    When smart guides are on none of the constrain features (holding down shift) work properly, whether it's rotating, reflecting, etc. It just sort of jumps back to one position, often the original position, and won't move. The little magenta text that lets you know the angle etc. also goes a little crazy and looks like it's trying to display a few different words on top of each other.

18. オプティカルカーニングのテキストにタブを設定しても揃わない - Optical kerning text does not align when tabs are set

    「文字間のカーニング：オプティカル」のテキストに「タブ」パネルで「タブ位置」と「リーダー」を設定しても、タブの位置で文字が揃わない。

    MacOS Monterey（12.7.4） + Illustrator 2024（28.4.1）

    再現手順:
    1. テキストオブジェクトに文字パネルで「文字間のカーニング：オプティカル」を設定する
    2. 「タブ」パネルで「タブ揃え」、「タブ位置」、「リーダー」を設定する

    期待された結果:
    指定したタブ揃え・タブ位置でテキストが揃う

    実際の結果:
    指定したタブ揃え・タブ位置でテキストが揃わない

    回避方法:
    ・テキスト中のタブのみに「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを設定する
    ・タブを設定したテキストでは「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを利用する

    「オプティカル」以外のカーニングを利用すれば回避できますが、フォントや文字の内容によっては「オプティカル」を使いたいこともあります。その都度タブのみに「メトリクス」等を設定するのは手間がかかります。また、「リーダー」に記号等を設定しなければテキストは揃いますが、それではタブの機能を利用する意味がありません。
    InDesignにも同様の機能がありますが、カーニングの設定が何であれテキストの位置はタブ位置で揃います。
    ユーザーの工夫で回避するのではなく、Illustrator側が改善すべき挙動だと考えます。

    ---Use translation tools---

    When "Tab" and "Leader" are set on optical kerning texts, texts are not aligned at the tab position.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. set optical kerning to the text.
    2. set tab alignment, tab position, and leader in the "Tabs" panel.

    Expected result
    Text is aligned at the specified position.

    Actual result:.
    Text is not aligned at the specified position.

    Workaround
    - Set kerning other than "optical" only for tabs in text.
    - Use kerning other than "optical" for tab-set text.

    We can get around this by using kerning other than "Optical", but we want to use "Optical" for some fonts and content. It is time-consuming to set "Metrics" etc. only for tabs each time. Also, if "Leader" is empty, texts will be aligned, but that does not make sense to use tab feature.
    InDesign has a similar feature, but whatever kerning setting is, texts are aligned at the tab position.
    I think Illustrator behavior should be improved, rather than working around it with user ingenuity.

20. Selection Tool Stops Functioning

    The selection tool stops functioning when Illustrator has been open for a while. It will work as expected and then it will stop functioning, either not allowing me to select an object or group at all, or it will allow the select but then nothing happens when you try to click on a corner of an object to either move it or resize it. Opening and closing the file does no good. I have to close Illustrator and re-open it and the tool will start functioning again. It seems like a memory issue.
