Smooth Blend Tool Broken
On the Mac OS, when blending between two shapes using the smooth blend tool, 7/10 times the blend will not be smooth but have one step between the shapes. I can instead create lots of steps as a work-around, but the designated tool does not work. If the shapes are separated far enough, more (but few) steps will appear.
In the images below, you will see an attempted blend between a dark green gradient square, and a light green square. I am using the smooth blend tool.

Pantone Connect
Hi there,
When trying to load the Pantone Connect Extension I see a black window instead of the swatches and other features of the extension. The only message I see is a purple link that says “reload plugin” which has no effect when I click on it. This was the case for the 2020 version when I tried it today, so I updated all my apps, thinking this might help. However, the same error occurs with the 2021 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. When I last used the extension in summer last year, it worked great… has there been…

Unit increments for Large canvas documents have fractions
Since the introduction of the large canvas sizes (which is awesome, by the way) I have been noticing that my increments of measure particularly in type and keyboard increments within the preferences have been scaling down to microscopic numbers when I change from feet to inches or points. I then get these odd numbers when scaling type with the keyboard shortcuts.

type tool is fundamentally broken.
Why did you f up the type tool?? It, like almost everything else in Illustrator, doesn't work as good as it did a few versions back. I don't mind you making changes, but when it starts to impede productivity, it's a problem. I hate this program now. HATE. It's a buggy, aggravating, and just does not work seamlessly as it once did.
With the type tool, I have issues placing the cursor in the type. if I use the hand tool in conjunction with the type tool, it overrides the hand tool and starts adding spaces. Neve been a problem…

illustrator 2021 won't open large files created in 2020 version
Opening large files created in the 2020 version gives a message " Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file as possible, but some content might be missing. Open to view the recovered file."
Any file with multiple layers or artboards only shows one artboard and layers are missing. The weird thing is the preview shows the full file and artboards, they just won't open.
Is anyone else having this problem? I've found that if you install illustrator 2020 and open it there it usually works (although not always)

Apple Emoji glyphs now crop at the bottom when rasterising + viewing - after Big Sur update
I have updated to Big Sur. 2018 MacBook Pro. The Apple Emoji glyphs updated. Now, they are cropped about 3-5px on the bottom. Baseline shift doesn't help, rasterising doesn't help, changing the size of the type doesn't help. The emoji are permanently cropped now in both 2019 and 2020 AI versions, as well as in Photoshop. This is both when viewing the letterform, and when rasterising or outlining it. Please help! <3 I am trying to finish a job that looked great before Big Sur. Can't find anything on line.

Warped Object moves up artboard when changing Bend or Distortion
- Using Windows 10, latest version, and Adobe Illustrator V 25.1 (but this has occurred in every version of AI I've ever owned)
- After I warp an object, if I change the Bend or Distortion amount in the Top Toolbar the object shifts up the artboard. This happens whether I input an amount and hit enter, or if I just use the arrow keys to increase or decrease an amount. Additionally, if I go into the Object>Envelope Distort>Reset with Warp menu, it shifts up.
- I would expect the object to remain in the same place on the artboard, and change the…

GPU Problem after upgrade to 25.1
After upgrading to 25.1 GPU previewing is erratic. After a while working on a document GPU previewing is not available (after restart Illustrator it is). Then also problems with text selection occur, text is not marked as selected and text cursor is not visible. Seems like a problem with out of video memory? Using a maxed out MacMini with 64GB RAM and a Blackmagic eGPU. MacOS is 11.1
For now reverting Illustrator 25.0 removes all problems.3 votes -

UI scales are off even after adjustment - icons, ruler, menu
The ruler always seems to get hidden after updates but also it is very small relative to the icons and file menu.
This means at 100% UI scale the ruler is too small but at medium (doesn't say what % for some reason) the ruler is too big and icons are way too big.
This only became an issue when I started using higher resolution monitors (anything greater than 1920x1080). So my guess is it has something to do with a relationship with Windows 10 GUI and Illustrator.
Any insight would be appreciated and questions welcomed. Attached is illustrator at…

Image trace does not limit colors in grayscale
When using the grayscale mode in image trace and limiting the number of colors image trace creates an unlimited range of grays. I selected ten grays, expanded, and when clicking "re-color artwork", more grays than I would waste time counting are shown (at least 50, but maybe more).

Pattern Seam issues with Adobe Capture patterns
when using adobe capture patterns there is a transparent seam in the pattern, I am able to remove the seam by change the width of the pattern but its only a temporary fix as soon as I change the pattern the seam comes back. This issue only seams to happen in illustrator, because when I use the same patterns in photoshop there is no gap between patterns
Steps to replicate:
- use adobe capture to create a pattern.
- create a shape in illustrator
open the libraries tab and insert the pattern
where lines/ spaces appear in-between the patterngo to pattern…

Adobe Illustrator 2021 desktop cannot open .aic file from cloud on Windows
I saved a file I was working on to Adobe Creative Cloud two days ago and can't open it or an older version of it. When I try to download it I receive the message "Fehler beim Herunterladen" [Error downloading] (German PC), same with an older version. When I try "in Illustrator öffnen" [open in illustrator] Illustrator will start, but the file won't open and nothing else happens. If I already have another (local) file open in Illustrator, I will shortly see the message (screenshot 1)

I may have had one or two unembedded linked files in the…
