An error occurred while saving the comment That’s an interesting case.
Take a look at the GIF recording and the filу attached.This two objects seem almost identical (except for their size). Layers panel (not shown in the GIF) shows these as just text (Ai doesn’t list paths for text there,
sadly). If we select paths only, AI will recognize them as just 'Path' in the Control and Properties panels...Corners get changed the same way with the widget... feels the same.
But as long as I try to resize these, there is a clear difference — the one on the left gets the corners squished, the one on the left keeps them circular.The one on the right is secretly a live shape rectangle, and that’s why Ai keeps the corners tracked — but Ai doesn’t show it is! Transform panel doesn’t show Rectangle-specific controls, Object > Shape has both options disabled.
The one on the left is just a path — and Ai doesn’t try to keep corners undistorted for just paths.
This is not exactly the bug, but definitely a problem: Ai doesn’t allow to detect the difference via UI, doesn’t allow to convert a path to a shape when used as a type’s path or vise versa.
Thanks for the report!

An error occurred while saving the comment As long as a rectangle stays a live shape, the corners won't distort — Ai tracks and keeps the corners consistent (even if Free Transform Tool used instead of Selection Tool’s bounding box to stretch it)
However, if you wish for them to get distorted, you should convert the rectangle to a simple path: Object > Shape > Expand Shape. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Amazing, you are right. The object have to be compound path though, just checked.

An error occurred while saving the comment I checked all the major versions of Illustrator until 2020, starting from Ai CC2018, where Properties panel was introduced, and none of these has the Make Compound Path button you refer to (and I can’t remember seeing it there ever)...
The 'Release' button in the Quick Actions section indeed exists in all of them and does now, but not the 'Make' one.
Still, having one makes sense for me, so I added a vote for this one.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.3.1 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

An error occurred while saving the comment Another demo with the workaround
An error occurred while saving the comment The workaround would be to disable Construction Guides option for Smart Guides in Preferences. This does 'fix' the issue, but in fact it does not. The team (at least a part of it) knows about the issue.

An error occurred while saving the comment I also attach two GIFs that show how it used to work (fine), and how it does work now, in several latest releases (not OK).
An error occurred while saving the comment It’s a known bug, and I believe it is fixed in the Beta.
Can you check it and see if it works fine for you?
If not, please provide more details — how do you scale exactly? which snapping options are enabled for you? If possible, please record a video to make sure we talk about the same thing.An error occurred while saving the comment This is a known bug and it is presumably fixed in one of prerelease builds. You can join the program and update your Illustrator if it bothers you strong enough.
An error occurred while saving the comment I recently learnt that having 'Transform tools' ticked in Smart Guides options is what causing it for me. Please try it?

An error occurred while saving the comment Erwin, does the older trick to workaround it work for you — to toggle Construction Guides in Preferences: Smart Guides?

An error occurred while saving the comment By 'tab' you mean New Document dialog?
If so, try to go Preferences: General, and enable 'Use legacy "file New" interface' option. Then try to create a new document again — will the older dialog work? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Not exactly.
A CMYK document will always display only the colors that your current CMYK profile allows — true.There are two general methods to create artworks to be printed.
1. Work directly in a CMYK mode. The colors are actually get stored as CMYK values, and can’t be anything but CMYK (unless you use use Spot colors, which are basically additional inks).
2. Work in RGB mode, get a wider range of colors and check how they fit into CMYK using View > Proof Colors. The colors are stored as RGB.The latter way works if you want to have one artwork to be used both for screen and print media.
The former one makes sense if you need more precise controls over inks.An error occurred while saving the comment Here is how it works.
RGB color space is generally wider than CMYK. There are colors that can be displayed by an average monitor, but can’t be printed (the opposite can be true also, but it depends on specific outputs).The color you see in the RGB document is in fact an RGB color, with the value RGB 0-47-187.
And if you grab and copy the object it and paste in a CMYK document, Ai would have to squeeze it into CMYK values — and according to your chosen profile the CLOSEST color would be CMYK 95-85-0-0 — and this is what Ai shows you in Color picker.If you do the opposite operation, grab an object filled with 95-85-0-0 from the CMYK doc and paste it into RGB one — the color would look the same, because RGB has no problem with displaying this muted blue.
When you are in RGB doc, CMYK values are NOT primary, but a closest match.
Same goes for a CMYK doc — RGB values would be a conversion result.Here is how it looks at my machine (see the attached images). I use different profile, that explains different values, but you get the idea.
This is an RGB doc, which can display both vibrant and muted blues.
Color Picker displays the same CMYK values for both, but the RGB values are obviously different — because RGB is the leading values here, while CMYK is an approxiamtion.Now watch the animation.
As soon as I set the cursor in any fields for CMYK and change a value (I am just tapping an arrow), THESE fields become leading ones, and the displayed color changes to reflect the change.Does it make any sense?
An error occurred while saving the comment The images you show now don’t actually math the claim you made in the OP, at least for me... Sorry, I must have gotten it wrong.
When you said 'colours from CMYK palette' — I thought you meant Swatches panel, and you meant that colors of the swatches displayed in the panel don’t much the applied colors on canvas! But it’s not the case here.So I presume now you mean that the same CMYK values form the Color Picker give different looking colors on canvas, when used in documents with different color modes (since on is in RGB, and another one in CMYK). Do I get it right now?
An error occurred while saving the comment Strange.
Can you share some screenshots of it?
Let’s start with basic checks: do you have View > Proof Colors disabled?
What settings do you have in Edit > Color Settings?
What about Edit > Assign Profile, what does it show?
Does it happen in one document only or you can reproduce it in a new one? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Scott, does it happen in one specific document only, or do you see the same behavior in different ones?
Can you reproduce it, or is it random? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Definitely a bug... for some reason all the arrowheads are displayed as the preset #29!
This is not how it normally behaves.

View > Trim View command does this. By default, it does not have a hotkey assigned to it, but you can map it to the one you prefer in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
An error occurred while saving the comment Josh, I agree. For some reason Trim View does not hides these, as well as hidden characters.

An error occurred while saving the comment Actually making it a percentage of the font size IS a way to set and forget, since it makes a relation between these two.
But +2 or +4 is an absolute difference, and it means the larger the text becomes, the lesser is the leading compared to the size...
Perhaps this is what you want, but I don’t understand why. Basing leading on a width of the frame is a known approach, but basing on just a size...
Can you share some examples when a text needs this?Anyway, if you need bo1th 100% and 120% — is can be done, since Auto Leading is a paragrph-level option, just like the attached image shows.
The only downside is that we need to dive into the dialog, and this is 2-3 clicks and typing a value... but it can be solved with a couple of actions.An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I get you, I never need it to be what Ai offers with its Auto.
So I changed it — this can be done today.
From the Paragraph panel’s flyout menu open Justification dialog.
For Auto Leading set 100% instead of 120%.
Commit. Now Auto will make it 'tight', as you expect.Now the problem is how to make it a default option, because this setting gets applied to the current Paragraph Style in the current document only.
One solution would be to modify the document profile (or several) Illustrator uses to create new documents. You can create your own modify existing ones (Print, Web, Mobile, Film & Video, Art & Illustration) — but default ones will revert back to the fabric defaults once Illustrator updates, so you better backup them. Won’t change custom ones.
You can refer to this help article to do that: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/create-custom-new-document-profile.htmlAnother solution I personally use is to create an action that changes the currently selected text object into a default one: it sets the font, the size, the options, including auto leading. This gives me freedom to make anything default in any document, not a newly created one only.
And surely you can use both methods at once.
Does it help you in any way? Please comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Great request, upvoted!
The only problem it Ctrl + Shift + V is mapped to Paste in Place, and changing a default hotkey won’t work.
So the best solution would be to make a command and leave its hotkey slot empty, for everybody who wants a shortcut to it to choose their own. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I have no trouble with assigning arrowheads to ALL the paths in this document...
So it’s either OS-specific, or something elusive is the cause, indeed.If this ever happens again, please help to track it deeper — move the object into a new file and see if it crashes Ai when you repeat the actions that led to original crash. If it does, it’d mean the path is solely the reason. Otherwise it means it’s the full document’s fault. And some errors happen just by having Ai running for quite a while, sadly. And some are caused by plugins. So many variants...
This will take some time, but that’s the only way to iron these out.
Thanks for the report.An error occurred while saving the comment Matt, can you reproduce the problem with a simplest rectangle in a brand new document?
Or does it happen only with a specific artwork?
Sean, thanks for this report.
Indeed, the team recently changed the way generation of SVGs works, following their long-term plan to unify SVG methods AI uses into one. From now on it should be based on Export As method. It solves a lot problems: generation speed, background generation, code readability, file size, redundant XML elements, compact CSS styling... the list is large, although I am not sure if Adobe ever published it publicly :(
And it definitely breaks some workflows!
Can you please bundle the files necessary to demonstrate your case (including original files, examples of the output before the changes and the current one, settings used), and send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com — the team would like to see these.
Please also put the link to this report into the body of the email for tracking purposes: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48266318
Again — thanks for not being silent. This helps a lot to make things right.
