Eyedropper + Shift changes text and adds stroke when applied
When picking up a color from text with the Eyedropper while holding down the Shift key the Eyedropper will change the size, the fill and add a stroke when applied to text. When applied to an object, it will add a black stroke to the object.
This does not happen when the Shift key is not used during sampling.7 votes -

Keyboard shortcuts for text formatting (kerning, tracking, leading, font size) no longer work in Illustrator 29.7.1
This feature just stopped working. Please fix.
These also don't work:
Increase or decrease leading: Option + Up or Down Arrow (horizontal text) or Right or Left Arrow (vertical text)
Increase or decrease kerning and tracking: Option + Right or Left Arrow (horizontal text) or Up or Down Arrow (vertical text)

CMYK colors get recalculated in a document with color mode changed from RGB to CMYK, using Color Picker
According to the user, they often receive files created in RGB mode, and they have to convert them to CMYK, using File > Document Color Mode, make specific changes and push documents further. And while the document becomes CMYK, Ai keeps recalculating supplied values, as if these get double-converted via RGB space.
There are easy steps to reproduce this problem from scratch.
1. Create a new RGB document, using Web Document Profile
2. Go File > Document Color Mode > CMYK
3. Create a rectangle
4. Open Color and enter a CMYK color, like 15-30-45-15, tabbing through values. Press Enter…7 votes -
Duplicate Artboards will always fail if even one artboard exists near the right edge of the canvas
en
Duplicating an artboard using the Duplicate Artboards command in the Artboards panel will fail if one of the artboards in the document is near the right edge of the canvas and the new artboard is at coordinates that extend beyond the canvas.
It is not possible to duplicate the artboard by wrapping it in the Y direction. Therefore, when such artboards are in the document, it will never succeed.
The expected behavior is that Duplicate Artboards will also do so, since you can copy and paste artboards and New Artboard will generate them with a wrap around.

Scaling down a placed image makes it unmovable
After placing a PNG and scaling it down to fit my artwork, I was no longer able to move the PNG into place. I could only select it in the Layers panel or by clicking and dragging over it. There does seem to be a threshold before this happens — if I only scale it down a small amount, it seems to behave as normal, but if I go beyond 50%, it becomes unstable. Of course, the workaround is to scale the PNG closer to the size needed, but this behavior seems to be new. I am pretty sure I…

Radial gradient gets changed when a shape is resized

Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled
While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.
Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

Center Vertical Alignment for Area Type becomes Top when Every-Line composer is used
Take a look at the GIF attached.
When vertical alignment is set to Center, it works only for Single-line composer. When Every-line composer gets chosen, the alignment becomes Top instead.And please rename the option finally — it should be VERTICAL alignment, not horizontal: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45711817

Bring to front/back not working with new update
Manually right-clicking and selecting "bring to front" and "send to back" aren't working. The shortcut (ctrl + shift + [ or ] ) is also not working. This seems to have started after updating to version 29.4.
Every tutorial I can find hasn't helped. This bug has massively increased my workload as I use this action every few seconds.

Export As in an action does not save parameters but uses ones from the latest export instead
When you record 'Export As...' as an action, and use PNG format, the parameters (resolution, anti-aliasing type, background color) are not saved in the action, but are instead just picked up from the last used export.
Is this not a big problem?
Aren't actions supposed to be self-contained?
If one toggles on the 'dialog' icon in the Actions panel (to let us pick settings on the fly), then it's no different from just choosing the Export As... menu item, so what's the point of the action?Tested with Win 2024

Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)
If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.
I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.

SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.
I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:
Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.
This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:
- FIRST select "Save As..."
- Choose SVG as your format.
- Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
- Change the precision value from 1…

Pantone or other book colors in a CMYK document look fine in Overprint preview mode but get exported to an RGB images as dull
When we add a Pantone or a different book color into a CMYK document, we can see how it looks 'for real' when we enable Overprint mode — all fair.
Then we would need to share this image with a client, so we export an RGB image... and this image shows out vivid book color as a dull-and converted-to-CMYK-and-then-to-RGB color — which is not what we have in mind.
This is a bug, honestly, I think, but also a request — we need to be able to export images as we see them in Overprint Preview mode... Ai respect overprints…

Sometimes Align panel has no Align To options enabled, even with a selection present
Occasionally I have an object selected, hit a hotkey assigned to an Align command, but nothing happens, even though Ai should automatically enable Align To Artboard with the only object selected.
I open the Align panel (in these cases it’s usually collapsed) and realize none of three Align To option buttons is pressed! I click Align To Artboard one manually, and then it works, and it doesn’t happen anymore... until the next time it misfires like this.
Probably it happens at least one per Ai session, I can’t tell yet.

[ExtendScript] Cannot set Document.rulerUnits
There is no way via scripting to set a document's rulerUnits (pts, mm, inch, etc) because the property Document.rulerUnits is—erroneously, surely—read only.
If Document.rulerUnits was writable, we would simply do this:
var doc = app.activeDocument; doc.rulerUnits = RulerUnits.MILLIMETERS;This is important because there is literally no way to set this via script, except to create a new document.

「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.
「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。
psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される
「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存（従来）」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様
「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない
Illustrator 2023、2024で確認
再現手順:
1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す（psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ）実際の結果:
「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される期待された結果:
画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される回避方法:
「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する---- English *Use translation tool ----
Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.
As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.
Same result with "Exports for screens", "Export as", "Save for Web (Legacy)" or any menu command.
"Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.
Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024
How to reproduce:
1. Create a symbol with artwork containing "Intertwine" and place an instance.

Export As SVG - incorrect size
I compared the results of the "Save As SVG" and "Export As SVG" commands.
I found that the "Export" option often produces incorrect sizes, especially with patterns containing a lot of fine details.The decimal point settings are the same in both cases.
