   We have fixed this issue in 29.0 (MAX) and 28.7.2 releases.

2. When a group is set as a key object inside of the ungrouped isolation, Distribute Spacing treats some other groups as ungrouped

   1. Open the test file
   2. Isolate the group
   3. Select all
   4. Ungroup — now you have just <Objects> as the last step of isolation
   5. Click the leftmost group once with the Selection tool to make it the key
   6. Press Horizontal Distribute Space button in Align panel Ai will treat the last group as if it is ungrouped — but it is not!

   Why do I do this at all? To distribute all objects inside of a group.
   I can’t do this when it is grouped, so I select it first, then isolate (to avoid interaction with anything else on canvas), then ungroup this larger group — because otherwise Ai won’t allow me to distribute, because all selected children = the group selected. So I want to ungroup, distribute and then group back... but the bug forces me to undo and exit the isolation. Not cool.

3. Words get broken when hyphenation is off with no hyphens

   Illustrator (since a long ago) has a habit of breaking words in area type texts when it should not. Take a look at the test file and watch the attached GIF.

   As you can see, the second word is a long one, and Ai for some reason breaks it — although Hyphenate is off (and the language is properly chosen).

   No hyphen also is displayed at the end of the line, the word is just split.

   If we toggle the Composer from Single-Line to Every-Line, Ai at first correct the tracking and fits the word... but once the container is resized, it gets broken again... and sometimes, when nothing else is done, it gets recalculated again! ...but sometimes not, and it’s even worse, because non-reliable.

   InDesign does it properly, whatever composer is chosen, whatever language.
   No hyphenation should mean NO hyphenation. Words should break like this only when a container width is smaller than the word — and you can see it’s not the case here.

   Works the same on Mac and Windows.

   It turns out the file in the original report has a singular Latin 'o' mixed into the Cyrillic text, and this makes it break without a hyphen.

   The font team notifies that Unicode standart prescribes to not break between two scripts that use spaces as word breaks, so this problem can fixed sometimes later, when the team revises their reflow strategy.

   As for now, be notified it’s a very narrow case, and is a good sign that your text has homoglyphs in it.

   I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.3.1 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

5. Intertwine objects expand when an effect is applied to them

   When I want to add, say, a drop shadow to my whole intertwined art, I get it immediately expanded. A warning is displayed, but I’d prefer to keep it live.

   I’d put this in user requests, but let’s admit this is a bug, since I never asked for an object to be expanded, and it potentially can stay live — unlike moving one point of a live rectangle, which obviously makes it a non-rectangle anymore.

7. Export PSD is aborted with error

   When exporting Illustrator documents to PSD via Export As…, documents that would succeed with JPEG or PNG stop with an error.

   The error dialog appears twice, and the messages are as follows
   1. Unable to export at this resolution. Please lower the resolution and try again.
   2. The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [RES!]

   
   

   The generated image is 4px in total and the resolution is not too high.

   Environment:

   • Illustrator 2022 (26.5.0)
   • macOS 11.6.8

   The same error occurred when I tried with Illustrator CS6.

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. open the attached file 16383.ai
   2. Select [File > Export > Export As… > Photoshop (psd)]
   3. Specify a resolution to 288ppi

   Expected result:

   Successful export.

   Actual result:

   Aborted with an error.

   Workaround:

   • Move Ruler Origin closer to the artboard.
   • Move the artboard closer to Ruler Origin

   In 16383.ai, Ruler Origin is at the origin of the canvas (16383 x 16383) and the artboard is at the right edge of the canvas. In PSD export, the following values are expected to cause errors because they exceed the limits.

   Coordinates of the right edge of the artboard 16383 * (output resolution 288ppi / original resolution 72ppi) = 65532
   

   It would be correct to rely on the width and height of the artboard, rather than the coordinates of where it is placed.

   Export PSDがエラーで中止される

   Illustrator書類をExport As…経由でPSD書き出しすると，JPEGやPNGで成功するような書類がエラーで止まる。

   エラーのダイアログは2回出て，メッセージの内容は次の通り。
   1. Unable to export at this resolution. Please lower the resolution and try again.
   2. The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error. [RES!]

   
   

   生成される画像は合計4pxであり，解像度が高すぎることはない。

   環境：

   • Illustrator 2022 (26.5.0)
   • macOS 11.6.8

   CS6で試しても同じくエラーが起こる。

   再現手順：

   1. 添付のファイル16383.aiを開く
   2. [File > Export > Export As… > Photoshop (psd)] を選ぶ
   3. 解像度288ppiを指定する

   期待する結果：

   書き出しに成功する。

   実際の結果：

   エラーで中止される。

   回避策：

   • ルーラーの原点をアートボードの近くに寄せる
   • アートボードをルーラーの原点の近くに寄せる

   16383.aiではルーラーの原点がカンバス（16383 × 16383）の原点，アートボードはカンバスの右端になるよう加工してある。PSD書き出しでは次の数値がリミットを超えるためにエラーが起こると予測される。

   アートボードの右端の座標16383 x (出力解像度288ppi / 原寸解像度72ppi) = 65532
   

   アートボードの置かれている位置の座標でなく，幅と高さに依存するのが正しいのではないでしょうか。

8. Locate in an action gives an error when nothing is selected

   Layers panel has a 'Locate Object' command in its menu.
   It can be recorded into an action directly, without messing with the Actions’ 'Insert Menus Item...' workaround approach.

   However, when this recorded action is called with no selection made, Ai throws an error (!):
   The action failed with an unexpected error code.
   Error:CANT

   ...if there is nothing to locate, locate nothing. But an error is too harsh, it breaks workflows.

9. Window and panels moving when Mac goes to sleep

   There is an issue with Adobe apps while using Mac M1 with an external monitor. When put in sleep, the windows and palettes move to the bottom half of the screen.

   There are comments on this thread that confirm

   this is an issue with specifically Adobe apps(illustrator, photoshop and indesign at least):

   https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/window-and-panels-moving-when-mac-goes-to-sle...

   please, Adobe support, address this issue.

10. ファイル→書き出しにてJPEGを書き出す際、圧縮方式が選択したものと異なる場合がある

    Windows10/21H1 Adobe IllustratorCC 26.0.3

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1.アートワークをアートボード上に作成する。
    2.ファイル→書き出し→書き出し形式を選択しJPGを選択する。
    3.ダイアログ上で圧縮方式を「ベースライン（最適化）」を指定しJPEGファイルを書き出す。
    4.書き出されたJPEGファイルは圧縮方式がプログレッシブになっている。

    想定していた結果
    指定したベースライン（最適化）でJPEGファイルが作成される。

    実際の結果
    圧縮方式がプログレッシブにて書き出される。

    この症状はWindows版のみで起こるようです。また、書き出し状態が異なるケースも見られるようなので他のパラメータによる影響を受けている可能性も残ります。
    わたしが検証したファイル３種類を添付します。それぞれがファイル名に付けた圧縮形式で書き出しを行っていますが、バイナリデータを見てもベースライン最適化とプログレッシブのマーカーが入れ替わっている状態です。
    この問題については以下のスレッドをご参照下さい。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustratorフォーラム-discussions/illustratorでjpeg書き出しするとプログレッシブになる/m-p/12795818#M27679

11. Dashed line not working

    I have the latest build of Illustrator 2021 for macOS Big Sur. When I try to apply the dashed line feature to lines or shapes, the effect does not show up. It’s as if I never clicked it. What’s going on here? I’ve never experienced this in past versions of Illustrator. I even tried deleting my preferences. Still nothing. This is so frustrating!

12. Illustrator RulerUnits returns Unknown for 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches'

    Illustrator recently added 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches' to the available ruler units; however, when a user selects one of these units, the scripting side returns 'RulerUnits.Unknown' for 'activeDocument.RulerUnits'.

    For scripting, the corresponding 'RulerUnits.*' value should be added so that developers can respond to the selected units.

16. Mouse/Tablet issues when using Hej Stylus! in combination with Ai

    Operating system: macOS 10.15.6
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB
    Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB
    Wacom Tablet, Intros Pro, or Cintiq 24 HD f.i.

    Broken: Ai CS6+

    Eilert from Hej Stylus! writing. Hej Stylus! is a tool that smoothes tablet output amongst other features.
    Hej Stylus! pulls live tablet event data and re-infuses altered events back into the macOS event stream using:

    CGEvent.tapCreate(tap: .cgSessionEventTap,
    place: .headInsertEventTap,
    options: .defaultTap,
    ...
    Using any of Hej Stylus!' position smoothing algos creates cursor issues in Ai - on tablet use only. Mouse is not affected.
    Using Tablet devices causes blender to 'use' both events - although Hej Stylus! is overwriting all tablet events.
    We do wonder if you use any functions that force Ai to process information directly from a hardware source. We hope that you might shed some light on how you process incoming events from tablet devices so that we can find a workaround. Are you using 'mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream' (or similar) to evaluate the screen position of the pointer? If so, under what conditions? Helping us to understand this process might help us finding a solution and providing a better Illustrator experience.

    Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
    1.) To test this issue goto: hejstylus.com and grab the latest version.
    2.) Use a graphics tablet
    3.) Use a smoothing algorithm (as seen in screen grab)
    4.) Draw something with the tool f.i.

    Today a similar issue was solved by the blender team for their application.
    See their solution here:

17. Corner Rounding Errors: Rounding more than the selected corners

    1) Mac OS 10.15.6 / Adobe Illustrator 24.3

    2) Selected only the upper corners on this piece of artwork. Adding a corner round to them.

    3) I expect corner round to be applied only to the selected corners.

    4) Illustrator is changing the curve of the lower left and lower right larger exterior curves. (You can see the original artwork underneath in Cyan... only the upper 6 corners of the "w" were supposed to be effected). This is happening on many other pieces of art that I'm currently working on as well.

18. Allow to isolate a compound path when only a part of it is selected

    Since we can't isolate components of compound path and shapes it is strange that Ai won't isolate a whole compound path/shape when you select only a part of it.
    Try this:
    1. Create compounds path/shape — like a torus
    2. Use Direct/Group Selection tool to select only the inner circle if your torus
    3. The 'Isolate Selected Object' button won't appear on the Control panel and the assigned hotkey won't do anything.

    This should be fixed. Ai should allow to isolate a compound path/shape when you select a part of it.
    Also, I think that Ai should be able to isolate these components in the first place: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40684777-make-isolate-work-for-components-of-a-compound-pat

19. PDF Export/Save .joboptions not appearing; cannot use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard joboptions

    Adobe PDF Export presets (.joboptions) that work in ID, PS do not appear as options in Save As > PDF in AI.

    Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... show they are installed. Attempting to Install them manually returns an error: "The preset '[XX.joboptions]' is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file." They cannot be Edited nor Exported from this dialog. (Even though they can be Edited and reimported in other apps.)

    Affected presets use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard.

    Illustrator requires PDF Export presets specifying Standard PDF/X-4:2007 or lower/None.

    Creating new presets within Illustrator and selecting "Standard: PDF/X-4:2010" in the dialog actually creates .joboptions files specifying compliance with PDF/X-4:2007.

    This can be verified by opening the .joboptions files in a text editor. (I used BBEdit.)

    Simply opening a non-working preset (works in ID & PS, but not available in AI) as text and changing the line:

    /CheckCompliance [
    /PDFX4:2010

    ... to PDFX4:2007 renders the preset functional again.

    This has been tested on Illustrator versions CC 2017, 2019, and 2020 on multiple machines; Mac OS Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave.

    this follows from this Adobe Support forum thread:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/my-adobe-pdf-presets-don-t-show-up-in-illustrator-cc/m-p/10861208#M162030

    Steps to recreate:

    Create a PDF preset within ID (any version after CC 2015) that specifies Standard: PDF/X-4:2010.

    Verify this same preset is valid and functional in ID & PS.

    Open any file in AI (versions 2015-2020). File > Save As with option Format: Adobe PDF. In the Save as Adobe PDF options dialog, under "Adobe PDF Presets:" the custom .joboptions file is not present in the list.

    Under Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... in the list of installed presets, the custom .joboptions file is listed. Selecting it, both Export and Edit are grayed out.

    Selecting "Import" and selecting the same .joboptions file returns an error: "...not a valid .joboptions file."

    Create a New PDF preset within Illustrator. Specify "Standard: PDF/X-4:2010." (2010 is the only X-4 option.)

    Verify Edit and Export options are not grayed out and function.

    Verify preset works in ID & PS.

    Open both presets (Mac OS: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/) with a text editor.

    Find the lines beginning with: "/CheckCompliance" and the immediate line after:

    Files created in ID will read:

    /CheckCompliance [
    /PDFX4:2010

    Files created in AI will read:

    /CheckCompliance [
    /PDFX4:2007

    In AI (Edit > Adobe PDF Presets) and ID (File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define...) both report "Standards Compliance: PDF/X-4 2010"

    In text editor, for preset created in ID, manually change:

    /CheckCompliance [
    /PDFX4:2010

    to "/PDFX4:2007" — Save preset.

    Verify PDF preset that was previously unavailable in AI, File > Save As, Format: Adobe PDF is now present and functional.

    Under Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... preset now has Export and Edit buttons enabled. (Preset still reports "Standards Compliance: PDF/X-4 2010")

    Resolution: Either create all PDF/X-4 standards-compliant PDF export presets within Illustrator for the rest of the CC suite; or manually edit all .joboptions files created for PDF/X-4 standards-compliance from "2010" to "2007."

    This may present an issue where strict adherence to the 2010 version of the standard is critical and required. Although PDF's are exported with "2010" selected, they are actually only compliant with 2007, the only version AI understands.

    Adobe PDF Export presets (.joboptions) that work in ID, PS do not appear as options in Save As > PDF in AI.

    Edit > Adobe PDF Presets... show they are installed. Attempting to Install them manually returns an error: "The preset '[XX.joboptions]' is not recognized as a valid .joboptions file." They cannot be Edited nor Exported from this dialog. (Even though they can be Edited and reimported in other apps.)

    Affected presets use PDF/X-4:2010 Standard.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.1.2 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!

20. Distribute Spacing field is disabled if you set a key object BEFORE opening Align panel

    Windows 10 Pro (64-bit), Illustrator 24.0.1 (64-bit)

    If I wish to align / distribute two or more objects in Illustrator, if I select the objects and click on the 'master object' BEFORE I go to the 'Align' tool window, the distance box remains greyed out as you can see in one of the screenshots below. I find this very annoying, for example, I may have previously been on the 'Transform' tool window sizing my objects, then I copy them a few times and select them all, select a master object then go to the 'Align' window and the distance box is greyed out. I then have to re-select everything and re-select the master object while the 'Align' tool window is open for the distance box to become active. I find this very annoying and Illustrator CS5 didn't used to behave in this way. If this could be looked at please, it would be brilliant, thank you.
