  2. Free transform not scaling correctly

    When scaling a stroke with Free Transform it jumps to a ~30º angle (pics attached). this happens without holding Shift etc. All I want to do is extend the stroke.

    Smart Guides is turned on, I've tried turning off/on Bounding Box (no luck) and turned off "Enable Content Aware Defaults" in prefs.

    I'm on MacOS HIgh Sierra with CC 2019. I've never experienced this before

  3. Dégradé de forme libre / Freeform Lines / bug

    Bonjour, j'utilise le nouvelle outil dégradé de forme libre avec plaisir. Cependant, je rencontre un problème récurrent : lorsque je sélectionne un objet contenant un dégradé de forme libre contenant 4 points et 2 couleurs, l'un des points disparait systématiquement. J'ai vérifié si l'un des points étaient en dehors de l'objet, ce n'est pas le cas. Je rencontre ce problème sur plusieurs objet, dans des documents différents. Est-ce un bug ? Avez-vous une solution à ce problème ? Merci

  4. Pen tool located in type tools

    Took me a while to find but found the pen tool hanging out with the type tools. Please stop fixing things that are not broken. I remember before CC things works pretty well. Now every time there's an update, some other bugs pop up that weren't there before. Is this just a way for engineer job security? Well whatever it is, its becoming a major pain.

    Hi,

    There was an issue in 23.0 causing tools to shift between groups. This has been fixed in latest update (23.0.2). After update, please reset the Basic and Advanced toolbars by opening the tool drawer (3 dots at bottom of the tool bar), then using ‘Reset’ from the fly-out menu (on top right).

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

    With Best Regards,
    Raghuveer Singh

  5. Illustrator loses focus after editing in group

    When a group is double clicked to edit inside (isolation mode), on leaving isolation mode the Illustrator application loses focus and clicking on any tool has no effect. To regain focus the icon in the Windows Taskbar has to be clicked.

  6. path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler

    Path guides centre edges disappear when dragging a guide from the ruler in CC, in previous versions you could quickly line up a guide to the centre of a box now you have to zoom out to see the centre. Another feature that worked great in previous versions now lost.

  11. Tools not snapping or showing blue line path or anchor points

    The Pen and Direct Tool are not snapping or showing the blue line path when drawing with the tools (Pen tool, Curvature tool, Direct Selection Tool) I have googled forums to see what the issue and it seems to be something that happens when the software is updated every so often or something like that, and shortly before I encountered this issue about 10 minutes ago my software got an update... please fix this :(

  12. Freeform gradient line stops disappearing

    The freeform gradient tool is very cool in its flexibility but I have encountered some major bugs with the line option. I can create the line stops but if I change the opacity of a stop from 100% then stops along the line most of the time one or more stops disappear.

    Sometimes just clicking or clicking and moving a stop makes stops disappear as well.

    It makes the tool unusable. Hopefully, it will become more reliable in a future release.

  13. Dragging multiple groups by text anchor deselects other groups.

    See attached video. With multiple groups selected, clicking and dragging by one of the group's text anchor deselects all other groups. Only the group with the selected text gets moved.

  14. Transformation problems

    The Width/height (Screenshot B: / H: ) Values don't work sometimes.

    If I manually type in the values like 20x20 it will create something like this 20,134x19,999.

  15. Bug: Cannot scale a horizontal line via center box handle

    Hi,

    in Ai CC2019 I cannot scale a horizontal line via the center box handle. The only way to it, is to use the direct selection tool (A).

  17. blendtool

    Hi Adobe,

    I downloaded the new illustrator, 2019 version. Happy to see that the eyedropper tool can adopt colors from images again.
    However the BlendTool seems to be different. In earlier versions it was possible to ajust the line on which you blended certain shapes... It appeared between the shapes as a loose vector line. This line is gone now, the only thing I can ajust are the shapes which I blended.. Can you guys fix this again in an update?

    Thanks! Bjorn.

  18. Guides disappear until file is reopened

    I've created an isometric grid for illustration and converted the grid lines to guides. When I leave my document open for a while (maybe an hour or more) and come back to it after a lull in activity, my guides seem to be gone. The "Guides" item in the "View" menu is grayed out, and the keyboard shortcut Cmd+Shift+; to toggle guides on and off does not work. Nothing is hidden or locked in my document. Closing and reopening the document immediately fixes the issue, with guides toggling on off when prompted. There's clearly a bug here, figured I should…

  19. Wacom incaccuracy when resizing objects

    Wacom (Intuos5 - L - newest drivers)
    Clean OSX high sierra
    MBPPRO mid2015
    New illustartor

    There is some bug with precise operating with wacom.
    I can't resize simple object with bounding box.

    When i try to do this, in 99% cases object is rotating instead of resizing.

    When i use trackpad - there is no problem.

    cc, cc2017 / 18 / 19 Still innacurate precision.

  20. Toolbar panel won't stay long & skinny when docked

    The toolbar panel on the left, when docked to the left side of the screen, will not stay long & skinny (after pressing the double arrow) when I close and reopen Illustrator. It always goes back to short & fat. If I undock it, Illustrator remembers the orientation just fine. This happens even when I save a new workspace.
