Projecting Cap for zero length path dissapears
A convenient way to create dots is to make a zero length path and give it a capped stroke. With Round Caps, this still works, but with Projecting Caps it doesn't.
(More: in early versions of Ai, this trick even worked with single vertices! - Bring that back please! Its a real data saver whenn working with lots of dots)2 votes -
Warped Object moves up artboard when changing Bend or Distortion
- Using Windows 10, latest version, and Adobe Illustrator V 25.1 (but this has occurred in every version of AI I've ever owned)
- After I warp an object, if I change the Bend or Distortion amount in the Top Toolbar the object shifts up the artboard. This happens whether I input an amount and hit enter, or if I just use the arrow keys to increase or decrease an amount. Additionally, if I go into the Object>Envelope Distort>Reset with Warp menu, it shifts up.
- I would expect the object to remain in the same place on the artboard, and change the…

New Repeat Feature unhides/unlocks all objects
- OS: Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator V25.1
- I used the Repeat Object tool, mirrored an object, then double-clicked into it to edit it. Once edited, I clicked out of the tool.
- Expect to click out and have other layers/objects unaffected.
- When I click out of the Mirror Repeat tool, all my hidden objects are no longer hidden, and all my locked objects are unlocked. This happens every time I edit a Repeated object.

Right Menu Bar Not appearing
Hello Adobe Crew! This is Eva.
I am here to report that the right menu bar is not appearing. I don't know what the bar is actually called so please excuse any misnaming. I wasn't drawing in fullscreen, and the fact that the right menu bar was in the way kinda annoyed me. So I clicked the 'X' button to put it away. I was done drawing, so I put my laptop away. Next day I want to draw, I open Illustrator, open a new canvas, and the right menu bar doesn't appear. I have tried to restart Illustrator many…

Eyedropper tool disappears - Illustrator 25.1 on Windows 10
So after updating and opening Illustrator for the first time, the eyedropper tool is there, but after closing Illustrator and opening it back up, the tool is gone. I've rolled back Illustrator, re-updated it, reset the preferences and it still happens.

Free Transform Tool (E) breaks duplicate (alt)
Windows 10 64bit.... every version.
AI version... 22, 23, 24 ,25...Actual behaviour: having the Free Transform Tool (E) on the screen disables the function of the 'alt' key (duplicate) when holding and dragging artwork.
Expected behaviour: the alt key function should duplicate artwork art as usual.
It's one of those silent but infuriating bugs that has been around through all the versions for years now.

Importing Brushes is not working.
Trying to import a variety of brushes from all different sources that are CS4 and above and correct AI files.
When I look at preview links it provides the image below. And when I open the files are blank this is consistent with every single brush AI file I"ve tried to open. However, on the Open menu of illustrator they are available to preview. Is there a problem with opening AI brushes in the 2021 update? Ideally I need these brushes to finish work for a client, and need to build on Illustrator rather than Photoshop

I am using the new iMac mini with M1 chip and I am trying to use illustrator for the first time. Photoshop works great, InDesign works fine...but illustrator has issues. All of the tools in the tool bar, when I try to select a line, type, point, etc. are shaky and flashing other tool symbols in a strobe-like effect. I need to use this app! Please help!

Image trace does not limit colors in grayscale
When using the grayscale mode in image trace and limiting the number of colors image trace creates an unlimited range of grays. I selected ten grays, expanded, and when clicking "re-color artwork", more grays than I would waste time counting are shown (at least 50, but maybe more).

Enregistrement de mon travail
Lorsque je travail sur un dessin, je ne trouve aucun lien pou l’enregistrer. apparement cela devrait se faire autan magiquement au moment où je ferme le fichier. Mais ce n’est pas le cas. A chaque fois que je ferme, je revient à mon dessin initiale. Aucune modification n’a été enregistrée. Comment puis je sauvegarder mes modification???

Resizing a constrained proportion shape not accurate to input
In 'Transform', if I set it to constrain proportions, then change the size of a square to '50mm x 50mm', the dimensions automatically change to something like '49.4345mm x 49.156mm'.
It also does this with any shape I created. So annoying! I think it worked back in 2019's versions, but with any version since doesn't.
