Actions ignore dash settings
When action is created to change line to eg. Dash 20pt, Gap 20pt, Align dashes to corners and path ends and action is run on a file, Illustrator changes only Dash size and ignoring the Gap size and aligment of dashes.
Another action crated to scale all in a file disproportionaly and action is run, it does not scale disproportionaly - ignores disproportion values.
Actions cannot be trasted (used to be very good in pre CC version).11 votes -
Surface Pro GPU Issues
Hello. Been having problems with fonts showing up with 'scratched' edges on Illustrator CC. I've cleaned up caches including font cache and have installed previous Illustrator version 15.3 and still the same issue. Please see attachment to view problem.
11 votesThis issue is fixed by Intel in their latest driver update (15.46.02.4729 – released on 11 JUL 2017 ) available at – https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26941/Graphics-Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-46-?product=88358
This update cannot show up driver search, as it might take some time for Microsoft to get it integrated in their Surface Pro driver updates. Microsoft prevents installing driver directly from Intel if you try the installer directly, however latest driver from Intel can be installed with steps listed in section “Update video adapter device drivers” > “Intel (Surface Pro devices)” in below link

Images within opacity masks shift
When using multiple opacity masks in a file in an earlier version, including 29.31. Opening it in illustrator 29.4 almost all the images used for the masks are repositioned to the center of the page.

Please test it if you can to see if it’s safe to push the update to the general build.

Illustrator version 29.1.0
Windows 10.0.19045To replicate:
- Create group that contains a group
- Select group
- Right click the group
- 'Isolate selected group' menu item missing. In its place is the new 'Ungroup all' item.
When the above actions are performed to a group without a nested group, the 'Isolate selected group' menu item appears as it should.

Artwork gets shifted when an artboard is resized with width and height constrained and Scale Artwork Constrained enabled
CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option. When we drag the transformation frame with the Artboard tool, the objects are scaled synchronously, and the position’s calculated properly.
However, when we start to enter the width or height of the artboard, with Constrain locked, the objects get shifted relative to the artboard after being scaled.
The problem has been confirmed on both MacOS and PC.10 votesFixed in Beta 29.1.0.93

GPUプレビューモードで高解像度２階調の埋め込み画像の表示がおかしくなる。
macOS13.6.6〜13.6.7
Illustrator ver.28.5再現手順
1.1200ppi程度のモノクロ2階長画像を用意する。
2.IllustratorにてGPUプレビューの状態で1.の画像を配置
3.配置した画像を埋め込むと表示が反転する。期待する結果
埋込前と埋込後で表示がかわらない。実際の結果
埋め込んだビットマップの表示が反転される。現状の回避方法
埋込んだビットマップ画像が存在するドキュメントではCPUプレビューかオーバープリントプレビューで表示を行う。これはGPU表示における不具合です。PDF保存などを行うと正常に保存されますが、GPUプレビューが使えない状態というのは作業性が悪くストレスがたまります。

Round Corners effect works wrong with curved paths
The native Round Corners effect (not the corner widget!) can work well only with all-straight segments.
It doesn’t round anything for points connecting straight and curved segments, straightens up curved segments, and hardly fit rounded corners within original paths.This is embarrassing. Fix it!

The ignoreWhite property of tracingOptions does not work
Illustrator v 28.0 - Image Trace option check box for Ignore White has been replaced with Ignore Color and an eyedropper option. While I think this is a good addition for manual use, it appears to have somewhat broken the ability to use image trace properly in javascript as the change has made the original "tracingOptions.ignoreWhite = true" no longer work. I suspect there is now an additional option/variable responsible for the color to be ignored's selection but it doesnt appear to be refferenced in any of the current documentation. I've tried adding the method for Abutting (also undocumented) as…

Deselect Artboards command and hotkey problem
When you pick the Artboard Tool, you enter a special 'artboard mode', and it modifies the behavior of standard 'object mode' commands.
For example, pressing Cmd/Ctrl + A (Select All) will select all artboards instead of objects.
But for some reason pressing Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A (Deselect All) does not deselect all artboards, but selects them all instead.
And if I try to call it from the menu, it will deselect objects instead of artboards (if I have any object selected) or just be inactive (if I have no object selected).This is hardly consistent and makes deselecting artboards…

Transparency panel shows 0% for the mixed opacity values

Select Next Object commands in the right-click (context) menu are broken when in Isolation Mode
Illustrator provides two ways to access Next Object commands:
1. From Select menu
2. From the context menu, Select submenuHowever, they work differently.
If you use #1 commands, they behave as expected — Ai properly selects the objects at the current scope level (if we are isolated), by stack order in Layers.
But if you use #2 commands when isolated...
These commands, despite having the same names as the command from the top bar menu entries, rely on the object being clicked. But even knowing that (and it’s not an obvious thing to figure out), the result is weird.…10 votes -
Abnormal selection after executing an action in a script.
According to the person in the know, this has been occurring since version 25.4; it was normal in 25.2.x.
When an action to duplicate an object is created and executed by specifying the action in the script function doScript(), the execution completes with the duplicated object and the original object selected at the same time.Although it is logical to perform all processing in scripts, there are situations where it is unavoidable in the process.
In addition, this is clearly an abnormal situation.
We would like to see an improvement.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)
Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!10 votes -
A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong
Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.- Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
- Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
- Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
- Select…

Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

Clipping mask for a layer doesn’t move when dragged in real-time render mode
If you move art with its layer-level clipping mask, Ai will draw it as if you move the art without the clipping mask. See the GIF attached.
