  1. Illustrator highlights anchors on mouse over when anchors are below other objects

    Mouse hints sometimes don't accurately communicate what the user is about to do

    As an example of the problem, create one rectangle with a fill, then create a second rectangle with a fill that encompasses one of the points of the first rectangle. Then, using the direct selection tool, hover over that point. The mouse hint indicates that the user is about to select that point. Click, and the second rectangle will be selected instead, because it is over top of the point.

    If that point can't be selected in this way, the mouse hint shouldn't make it appear as…

  9. Embedding linked EPS files in an over-sized artboard cause them to shrink to 10% and moves

    When using an over-sized artboard, when I embed a linked .EPS - the .eps is scaled down to 10% of the original size AND it is moved to a seemingly random location on the artboard. This only happens with .EPS files. .AI and bitmap files are fine - they stay in the correct location and correct size.

  10. Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjusted

    This issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it.

    This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023.

    If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character…

  11. Can't go full screen on Mac

    The latest version of Illustrator (28.1) will not go full screen. When I click the maximize (green plus) button in the top left of the window it does nothing. I'm running Ventura 13.4.1

  12. 3D Crashing

    I have used 3D materials on my ASUS TUF Dash FTS for over a year with no prior issues. Last night, upon updating to version 28.1, every time I even click on the 3D materials menu within the window tab, it immediately stops responding and crashes. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled, reset preferences, cleaned up creative cloud, deleted almost everything on my computer and freed up an additional 100 GB of space (I have 600GB of space total), I have gotten rid of every plugin. I am just at a complete loss because I can now not complete assignments because even…

  13. Windows 11 enhance pointer precision

    If Windows 11 mouse setting "enhance pointer precision" is off, then Smart Guides and Snapping will not work in Adobe Illustrator v28.
    Turning it back on will "fix" the Smart Guides/Snapping, but it'd be nice if we could turn this off and still have Illustrator do what Illustrator should do.

  14. Shift + Reflect (O) tool is too jittery to be usable

    The Shift + Reflect (O) command does a very poor job of constraining a reflection. The reflection jitters regularly – sometimes it takes several tries to complete a simple 90 degree reflection. Can the tolerances please be loosened off a bit so that constraining with shift is more useful. I have noticed this behaviour over several versions of illustrator.

  15. AI 28.0 preferences corrupted by 28.1 with some 3rd party plugins

    When updating from Illustrator 28.0 to 28.1, some preference files may be corrupted if AI is running certain 3rd party plugins. These include any written with Hot Door's CORE and incorporating a WebView widget to display a web page, but I have received reports of this behavior with some SDK plugins as well.

    The problem it creates is that new files are not added to the File > Open Recent Files list, and any change to a different workspace is not saved.

    For my macOS Ventura with AI 28.1, deleting these preference files solved the problem: Plug-in Cache and plugincache.bin.

  16. Coordinates for Symbols within Symbols

    When placing a symbol within another symbol, the coordinates listed in the properties panel no longer work.

    I create a symbol of a page labelling it "Page Right" and setting the registration point for the upper left. If I open the symbol and select the artwork it will register at 0,0 as expected.

    Back in the main canvas, I drag a copy of the symbol to the left, transform it by reflecting vertical and save it as a symbol labelled Page Left with registration point in the upper left again.

    Now I select the two symbols, align vertically by center…

  17. Don’t allow to create anything in the dedicated Dimensions layer except dimensions

    标注尺寸后新建图形问题
    当标注完尺寸后,新建图形会出现在尺寸图层,要想在原图层绘制,必须选择原图层后再建立,我认为这是一个bug,尺寸图层作为一个特殊的独立图层,不应该有其他图形出现。当尺寸标注完绘制新图形时,软件应该自动识别这不是尺寸标注操作,应该回到原图层,不应停留在尺寸图层。

  18. Adobe Illustrator 28.1 creates a pdf where the colour space of the custom profile is incorrect

    Hello,

    Yesterday, after installing the new Adobe Illustrator update to version 28.1
    the error I reported earlier came back.
    When saving a file with a custom profile
    to PDF-X4, the Output Intent profile is incorrectly saved.

  20. Making adjustments to a value within a panel's field, either through a scroll wheel or a swipe up/down gesture, operates inversely.

    1) Click on a field with a certain value in a panel (e.g., "Keyboard Increment" value in the "Properties" panel).
    2) Scroll up or down to adjust its value.
    3) Scrolling up will result in decreasing the value.
    4) Scrolling down will now result in increasing the value.

    This is counter intuitive. It should work vice versa. Scrolling UP should INCREASE the value, and scrolling DOWN should DECREASE it.
    Please, fix it.
