  1. Artistic effects converting artwork to black

    Attempting to apply any Effects>Effect Gallery will render the vector artwork into black and white. Thinking it was a Pantone conflict, I've tried conversion to CMYK with same results.

  2. Artboard size doesn’t match the rectangle size

    Artboard and this rectangle are supposedly the same size but they do not match at all. I am trying to create A1 file sizes for print and they are incorrect because of this bug or whatever it is. This is messing with my files and I am so tired of things not working for print because they aren't the correct size.

  4. Editing size of library element is broken: modifying canvas size in CC library object changes the object's scale in existing documents

    To replicate this, create a square with a fill and no stroke in a new document. Drag the square into the library panel to create a library element. Drag an instance of the library element you just created back into the document. You will have two identical squares, one which is just a plain square, the other which is a library element.

    Edit the library element and make it a different height. Save the changes and go back to the document. The library element is now not the same width as the original square, although you didn't edit that. If…

    the scale tool that we use to transform an object does not work. I have to uninstall the program to see it again and sometimes that does not repair it

  9. Expanded shapes get an additional redundant anchor point

    Example:
    1. Draw a square with a stroke set to the inside or outside (doesn't matter which as long as the stroke isn't centred)
    2. Expand the square and instead of the 8 anchor points you would expect the compound shape to have, the expanded square has 10 anchor points.
    The top right corners have 2 anchor points each, created directly on top of each other.

    This happens with ANY shape with corners and a stroke that isn't centred.

    You can't see the extra anchor point directly because it is in exactly the same location as the correct anchor point.

  11. Circle size change when rotating

    When I rotate a perfect circle, the size changes up to .004”. A 15”x15” circle, when rotated 17.184° becomes a 15.004”x15.004” circle. I know it may sound trivial, but I’m creating technical drawings that have to be accurate to the ten thousandths of an inch.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.3.0 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!

  12. Transform Again doesn’t repeat the transformation exactly

    Older versions of Transform again would let you transform any object the same as the previous object. This function no longer works. If I draw a box and transform it, I want to be able to transform a text object the same without using percentages. Because I am not always transforming a percentage. I may be transforming different objects to be the same height, but the tool does not allow this anymore. Please bring back the original functionality of this tool.

  13. Eyedropping in Isolation Mode is Broken

    In isolation mode, I'd like to eyedrop a non-isolated ("grayed-out") object to select its actual color rather than the dimmed color that's displayed.

    Don't you think it's far less likely that I'd want to eyedrop the grayed-out color?

  15. pen tool bug, "option" key does not activate usable "convert anchor point tool".

    ai 22.1 on sierra mac. 10.12.4

    I can see the convert anchor point tool when using the pen tool by pressing option , however when I try to click an anchor point it keeps defaulting back to the pen tool, this is annoying.

  16. Eraser or Blob Brush tools’ sizes are not adjustable with double-click anymore

    I can't change the dimensions of drawing tools such as the Eraser or Blob Brush tool with double-click anymore and there seems to be no shortcut or any other option to get here, even typing 'eraser' in the help section doesn't show anything.

  17. Edges stay visible when you switch from Selection to Brush tool

    When you hover an object with the Selection tool and then switch to the Brush tool with the shortcut it will keep the edges (hover outlines) over it even if you start drawing somewhere else with the brush.

  20. Cannot use alt with eyedropper to apply sampled style to other sections of text

    Cannot use alt with eyedropper to apply sampled appearance to other objects
    Mac OS High Serra 10.13.3
    Illustrator CC 2018 (22.1)

    I used to (in CS6) be able to copy a text style by using the eyedropper once and then holding alt to apply it to other sections (the eyedropper icon would be mirrored left-right when holding alt).

    Now if I hold alt, I'm getting the hand (pan) tool.

    How can I get the "apply style" tool instead please?

    NB: it still works with objects (background of text area in the example video), but not with text anymore.
