  1. リピート機能を適用したオブジェクトに再配色が効かない

    リピート機能（ミラー、ラジアル、グリッドのいずれも）を適用すると再配色で色を変更するできなくなります。
    ダブルクリックなどして編集モードにすればできますが、他のオブジェクトと同時にできなければあまり意味がありません。

    通常の状態で再配色でカラーが管理できるようにしてください。

  2. Align to Selection & Align to Key Object not working

    Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1
    Illustrator 27.0.1 & Illustrator 26.5.2

    I am not able to select 'Align to Selection' nor 'Align to Key Object' in either the Properties panel or the Align panel. It seems stuck on 'Align to Artboard' whenever I select specific objects.

  4. Illustrator on Mac, updated to Ventura. Freeform gradients are not showing up in saved PDF

    Hi, i just updated to Ventura. My company invoice banner has a freeform gradient that isn't showing up.
    It shows up in adobe acrobat, not in preview. However when i sent it as a trial to a friend on whatsapp via the desktop app, the gradient showed up. On the phone in the whatsapp app it doesnt. This discrepancy is highly frustrating.

  5. Blend snaps back when you move an object

    When you move one of the objects after having created a blend, the new position doesn't stay. Instead the blend snaps back and the outline of the object stays in the new position. Described in this thread with videos:

  6. SVG import: font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

    font-weight and font-style not always applied to tspan elements

    Use the following steps to reproduce the issue:
    1. download attached AIbugreport.txt file
    2. replace .txt with.svg (unable to load an SVG file)
    3. import the file to Adobe Illustrator
    4. open this file in Google Chrome (or any other browser) to visually see the difference

    Actuall result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: Styles are not applied to these words.

    Expected result: Google Chrome: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic. Adobe Illustrator: "quick" is bold; "over" is italic

  8. On Opening, Illustrator can't read linked files and adds multiple copies of linked images

    On some files, on open, I receive an error regarding linked images and when trying to resolve, Illustrator adds multiple copies of the same linked image without actually fixing the original images. It'll add linked images into locked layers where there were no images.

    This started in version 26.4.1 and have tested with uninstalling newer versions, opening the same files on older versions, and installing newer versions until the issue appears.

    Screenshots attached where it shows it adding in linked images, even on layers that were locked and had no images on save.

  9. Illustrator keeps stealing focus when opening documents in background...

    When selecting a lot of files in windows and then opening them in AI, for every document that opens, AI takes the focus away from whatever I am doing in the background. This is very annoying. Please fix.

  10. Unable to set Illustrator 2022 as default app

    When setting the default app for Illustrator files, 2022 version doesn't appear as an option. Files always open in 2021. When using Windows Default Apps setting, Illustrator 2022 doesn't appear as an option. This problem doesn't occur with other 2022 Adobe apps such as InDesign and Photoshop.

  11. URGENT: Enter key does not work in any Type Tools Illustrator Beta 26.6.555

    Adobe Tech Support was unable to resolve.

    This was not a problem in the prior release of 26.6 before .555

    When using the type tool in any form, horizontal, vertical, etc., the enter key no longer inserts either a [CR] or [CR LF].

    This is inconvenient for working with headlines or titling (attached graphic), but an absolute dealbreaker for working with long text.

  14. Toggling Layer Visibility Causes Hang

    Toggling layer visibility seems to be increasingly difficult for my latest release of the standard Illustrator build. I just tried a complete uninstall/reinstall, and the problem persists. Once I toggle layers on/off without any other active layer visible I get the Mac beach ball/spinning wheel. If I add a blank placeholder layer I have no issues toggling as shown below. This is the current release of Illustrator. I can share one of these files to see if it is setting related or cannot be reproduced, but I had this same issue on a much higher spec’d out PC than my…

  15. Repeat Grid messes up variable width strokes

    When the artwork contains asymmetrical variable width strokes, those are converted to symmetrical variable width strokes when a Repeat grid is applied with mirroring.

  17. SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue

    Hi,

    I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).

    For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

    See…

  18. Add Anchor Points adds sharp points on smooth curves (and converts smooths to sharps)

    If I have an circle with 4 smooth points and use Add Anchor Points command to add points to it, all new four point become sharp instead of smooth.

    Also, there are reports that Ai also convert original smooth points to sharp also, and this behaviour differs from platform to platform.
