  2. An object's stroke thickness when it is copied and pasted

    I have scales strokes and effects checked off in preferences and under transform but even if not, the problem persists. When I create an object with the blob brush tool, and I color it in, then copy and paste it, the stroke thickness changes (thicker or thinner). I am not changing size, just copying and pasting it.

  4. Can't Save AS!!!!!

    When I try to SAVE or SAVE AS. Nothing happens. This is a random bug just pops up randomly.

    It won't let me save or even save as. When I click Save As the finder box doesnt open so I can't do anything.

    I'd have to force quit so that AI thinks it crashed then pray that I get my recovered document when I open it up again.

    FIX THIS PLEASE.

  5. Applying Inflate Clips the Ends of a Line

    I made a line with the line tool, made the stroke 3 points wide, and chose a color for the stroke. I also went into the stroke options and chose the rounded cap. Then I used the width tool to tweak the shape of the line to resemble the object I was drawing.

    When I go to Effect-->3D and Materials-->Inflate, it crops off both the top and bottom end of the line.

    I'm using Windows 11 and Adobe Illustrator 2022 v. 26.5.

  7. fonts not displaying online

    The specified typefaces rarely display online when sharing for review. They are being replaced by something else. This makes sharing a file online for review a waste of time. Even if I use an activated Adobe font, this font will unlikely be displayed in the browser. Even using a web friendly font doesn't help

  11. some shortcut combinations don't work.

    Hi. I found that some shortcut combinations don't work.
    I use WIN10, Ai 2022, Korean.

    "Ctrl+Shift+1", "Ctrl+Shift+5" don't work with the number keys on the right numberpad. (with upper numberpad, it does work well.)

    (I assign them to adjust text size stuffs)

    Is that a unique situation just on me?
    Is there anyone who check these shortcut combination whether works or not?

  12. 数字入力時のバグ

    図形サイズや角度など、普段数字を入力するときはShiftキーなど同時に押す必要が無いが、逆にShiftキーを押しながら数字を打たないと、！や＄など約物を入力してしまう。キーボードの設定と逆になっていて大変使いづらい。

  13. 26.5 Can not change text box's language in the Character Panel

    When I highlight text or select a textbox I can not change the language in the dropdown menu located in the character panel. When I am editing, all my textboxes and either English: USA or Ukrainian and I can not change them. My default is English: USA but for some reason half of my text is labeled Ukrainian and the Auto Spellchecker is saying every English word is misspelled.

  14. v26.5 on Mac OSX is very slow, generally.

    v26.x is generally way slower than v25.4.8, but some features, like freeform gradient, are unusably slow. It takes couple of seconds to recalculate even a simple gradient with just 3-4 points. Same goes with applying wariable width stroke profile to multiple objects or a nested group. In 25.4.8 those tasks are instantaneous, in 26.5 they can even cause "spinning beach ball of doom" and take minutes to resolve.

  15. Copy and Paste Appearance into Photoshop Not working

    Update: I just noticed that this problem only occurs when I've applied the appearance effect to the entire layer as opposed to each individual stroke.

    When I edit a brush stroke appearance on illustrator, that appearance doesn't carry over when pasting into Photoshop like it used to. I've tried turning on ACIB preserve appearance, but that doesn't work. The only workaround is if I expand the brush stroke (which is getting tiresome because I do this quite often).

    Another issue: When working on one layer with multiple brush strokes, I attempted to expand that one stroke, but every single stroke…

  17. Illustrator changes Tiny SVG headers

    (1.) Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19042 and Illustrator 26.5
    (2.) open file, then "save as" > SVG Tiny 1.2
    (3.) SVG header contains: xmlns:x="&nsextend;" xmlns:i="&nsai;" xmlns:graph="&ns_graphs;"
    (4.) previous SVG Tiny 1.2 headers never contained the xmlns information in (3.)
    (5.) see uploaded files

    Please do not advise me on how to use (or not use) SVG files. It is just about the program (Illustrator) changing its settings for SVG headers.

  18. Localization bug with variable font panel

    As shown, this is a variable font with 3 axes, the second axis is named "Italic", but it is incorrectly displayed as a localized text. I'm sure there is no localized name for this axis in the font file.

    The font file can be downloaded from here: https://symphosizer.wearecollins.com/fonts/ABCSymphonyDisplayVariable.ttf

  20. Share for Review Greyed Out

    I used Share for Review in Beta a number of times successfully last week on a few proofs but I just opened a file to use it again and the feature is now greyed out, as is the option to open a window for "Comments".

    I have reverted back to the regular Illustrator to continue using this feature but preferred the Beta, as the regular version requires you to upload the file and assets to CC cloud and the proof quality is terrible. The Beta, when it was working, was more consistent with how the feature works in InDesign but…
