Brushes: anomalous effects
Illustrator 2018 22.0.1
Steps taken: Applying a pattern brush to a stroke, and adding an extra stroke around that in the appearance panel.
Expected result: The stroke should only apply to the visible outline of the brush (see image), and no weird visual anomalies.
Actual result: The stroke applies to both the brush as expected, but also to the original path (which should be invisible). There are also some anomalous gaps between the component parts of the brush, which should not be there.
Furthermore, if you expand the brush you get a group containing the brush sub-paths (totally fine), but…

【要望】文字組み更新機能が本当にいらない&邪魔です。
せめて無効に出来るとか設定追加してほしいです。
他デザイナーから受け取った最終データを書き出した際にハングル文字が混じった状態になっていました。
ウィンドウも毎回邪魔ですし余計な機能です。
せっかくレイアウトに合わせて文字組みした状態なのに勝手に変換されて崩れるのも困りますし、バグも多いし全然嬉しいと思った場面がないです。何か新しい取り組みの一環なのか知りませんが
このような機能を追加するなら有効/無効が選択できる状態で実装してください。
文字組みは自分でやります。4 votes -
Add an option to distort objects to conform the path in Objects on Path
Having an envelope distort option on Objects on Path would be nice too.

Support for "9-slice scaling" in SVG
SVG export breaks "9-slice scaling". This is understandable, since SVG has no such concept built-in.
But SVG can do something like this. Or "4-slice scaling". See, for example:
https://w3.eleqtriq.com/2014/03/the-holy-grail-of-image-scaling/
I would like to see Illustrator's SVG export offer this feature, given that Illustrator does.
At the very least, if implementation wont happen, or is delayed, please mention that 9-slice scaling is not working in SVG export in the docs and (for bonus points) as a warning in the export dialog box (in cases where the document uses this feature).

Vector resolution is too small, better handle printing with Laser Machines
When sending a job to "print" with a laser machine, Illustrator is quite slow and doesn't handle vector and bitmap below 333 dpi...
I had to switch to CorelDRAW to be able to "print" vectors @ 0.001 and bitmaps at 250 dpi... in Illustrator it reads vector with at 250 dpi as bitmaps! (dpi should not matter for vectors)

Right click lock unlock on layer will lock inverse and lock/unlock
Sometimes I have 10-20 layers, half of which are unlocked. i then want to work on just one so i would lick to right click the lock symbol and it isolates that layer, locking all others
4 votesIt woks in Ai already. You have to hold Opt/Alt and click the lock icon next to the layer’s name. First click will unlock any other layers first, but second will lock all other layers but the one clicked.
Does it solve the problem?
Same works with Toggle Visibility column.
Photoshop does it a bit differently and skips the Show / Unlock All step.

Group Selection Tool shortcut on Windows
On my Mac the number 3 is a shortcut for Group Selection Tool. I love this feature and use it all the time, but have noticed that it does not work on my Windows PC. I don't know if this is just my computer, or every Windows PC... Would love to have this fixed.

Change the layer an object is located on
If you have a large artboard with multiple objects and layers it is really time consuming to organize your layers when all you can do is drag and drop. I think it would be useful if you could right click on an object and "move to layer" like you can in muse.
4 votesThere is a way – let us know if this works for you.
- Select the object(s).
- Highlight the layer you want the selection to go to.
- Object menu or right-click > Arrange > Send to Current Layer -

Função Encostar
Deveria ser adicionada a função "ENCOSTAR" para não ter que ficar mexendo as coisas com o mouse pra elas ficarem ENCOSTADAS
3 votesThe current description is too brief, please elaborate: what should it do exactly (some before / after images would help), where should it appear, what’s the reason behind it.

Snap Bézier handles to consistent lengths
Would it be possible to add more precise settings regarding the snap behavior of the Pen tool’s anchor points, especially for the handles? This feature exists in Figma and is very useful for ensuring that handles have the same length, distance, and alignment.
In addition, these handles are often difficult to click. They should be made more accessible, either by increasing their size or by enlarging them by hover.

Performance
Please make huge improvement in performance. I've been working for prints for years but Ai just keep slowing down every version. Even slower than Photoshop. And the canvas so limited. I could only split my design to 4 sizes to get Ai safely working to prevent hang or not responding and plus rasterized the contents.
How come the actual vector software could not handle so much vector (paths, shapes, etc).
Hope you make a huge breakthrough in development. Couldn't wait!3 votes -
Schriftanzeigeaktualisierungen beim Nachladen von fehlenden Schriften inclusive Aktualisierung bei Texten mit Silbentrennung.
Wenn Schriften nachgeladen werden, sei es manuell oder durch PlugIns, wird die Anzeige in Textfeldern mit Silbentrennung bezüglich der nachgeladenen Schrift NICHT aktualisiert.
Für die Anzeige ist die aktive Schrift + die eingestellte Sprache + das Wörterbuch von Bedeutung. Bei Änderung der aktiven Schrift durch nachladen, wird die Silbentrennung nicht automatisch aktualisiert.
Was zu falschen Umbrüchen im Dokument führen kann, welche nicht immer sofort bemerkt werden.
Eine Aktualisieren auch der Silbentrennung nach Laden einer Schrift bei einem geöffneten Dokument ist daher wünschenswert.3 votes -

Eyedropper tool breaks Chinese/English mixed text after recent update
Title: Eyedropper tool breaks Chinese/English mixed text after recent update
Description:
In previous versions of Illustrator, when working with sentences containing both English and Chinese text, the Eyedropper tool worked correctly:If I applied a new font with Eyedropper, only the English letters would switch to the sampled font.
The Chinese characters would remain in their original font, preventing missing glyphs or “tofu” boxes.
After the recent update, this behavior has changed:
When I select the entire sentence and use Eyedropper, Illustrator now forces the entire string (including Chinese) into the sampled font.
Since the sampled font usually does not…

Recognize Artboard Overlapping
I often run into times where I try to drag an artboard and I might accidentally overlap artboards which then grabs the art on the other artboard. If Illustrator can recognize artboard overlapping and warn the user of it or have a smart option which recoginzes and keeps the art on their respective artboards even if they are overlapping, that would be really nice.

Live preview missing in many tools
In these 2 tools:
— Create Object Mosaic
— Transform Effect
I see a live preview toggle is missing.If the development team can add it, then it will make them more intuitive and smooth.
The Transform effect has Preview only, however a A LIVE PREVIEW would be better and faster.
