  1. Moving rotation anchor sticks to cursor - Pen tablet

    Windows 10 64bit.

    For literally years now, when you use a wacom pen, hold alt to move to the position of an object's rotation anchor, it sticks the anchor to the cursor and there's no way of detaching it unless you minimise and reopen the software.

    This has been a problem for more versions than I can count. (We're talking in excess of five years, probably more?) It's happened on different machines and different pen tablets so it's a software problem. Oh how I'd love it to be actually fixed one day!

  2. Resizing from centre - Pen tablet sticking

    Windows 10 64bit,

    Just updated to 26.0.1 and when you resize from the centre of an object (holding alt) with a pen tablet, the object sticks to the cursor for a tiny bit. I.e it used to leave the shape resized when you lift the pen off the tablet. Now it attaches and keeps resizing as you move the pen away. It's made resizing things accurately impossible.

    It doesn't do it with regular resizing from one corner, so it's something bound to the "alt".

    Updated the Wacom drivers and no difference.

  3. Transform Each panel calculating center point differently than rotate tool for arrowheads AI 26.0.1

    Lines with arrowheads are rotated off center when using Transform Each as opposed to rotating each separately using the rotate tool. The first screenshot shows the initial position. The next shows the position after using Transform Each. The next two show individual transforms of the objects in question.

  4. Tool menu doesn't open correctly.

    This is what Illustrator 2020 looks like after I upgraded to Monterey. Everything is super glitchy. Please update Illustrator.

  5. Direct Selection Tool no longer working as usual

    When using the Direct Selection Tool to make a selection within another object via click and drag, the tool automatically selects the outer object, regardless of its fill setting.

    In previous versions of Illustrator, it would not select such an object if it had no fill, which made it easy to select multiple paths and points that were contained within an object with a simple click and drag gesture. Now, this is rendered impossible and makes the tool much more tedious to use.

    This absolutely needs to be fixed!

  8. Changing corner radius on a shape changes unrelated anchor point

    MacOS Big Sur 11.6, Illustrator 25.4.1

    (Older versions too, I specifically reinstalled Illustrator with preferences resetted to verify if the bug is still there on the newest version)

    I have been having this issue randomly for a while, when rounding corners on some shapes, certain anchor points get displaced, often ruining symmetry. I have tried turning every kind of snapping off. It doesn't matter if the corner is changed from the panel or from the artboard. Doesn't matter if I have one corner selected on more, Illustrator sometimes decides to change a certain anchor point.

    Before rounding the corners, I…

  9. Pen Tool: Close path Changes Handles

    Mac Mojave 10.14.6
    Illustrator 25.4.1

    When drawing with the pen tool, closing paths changes the initial path/handles drawn. This occurs every time the initial point plotted is a "click and drag."

    I tried to upload a screen recording (.mov) but it won't let me.

  10. Illustrator free transform bug.

    When I go to use free transform and I want to resize an object, it switches to rotate instead of resize.

    Compounding this I can be near the object but not close to the transform anchors and it will still register me as click the transform anchor.

    Frustrating as .

  13. Single click on a radial gradient with gradient tool does nothing...

    When using the gradient tool on a radial gradient, a single-click should move the center of the gradient to the click location. This only works if the gradient annotator is turned on, otherwise nothing happens. See attached video.

    Illustrator 製品フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。

    ご報告いただいた「選択ツールで高さを変更できない」という現象ですが、最新バージョン「Illustrator 2021 (ver.25.4.1)」の Mac & Win OS ともに正しく動作しています。

    選択ツールでバウンディングボックスの上辺、または下辺のハンドルをドラッグしての高さ変更の操作でよろしいでしょうか?

    アプリの再起動、またマシンの再起動をしても再現するようでしたら、お手数をおかけいたしますが、カスタマーサポートにお問い合わせください。

    以上、よろしくお願いいたします。

  16. Previous tool continues after selecting new tool

    Over the past few weeks I've noticed that when I switch tools sometimes the characteristics of the previous tool continue rather than it switching to the new tool (but it shows the new tool selected in the Toolbar.

    So, for example, if I'm using the Selection Tool and then click on the Direct Selection Tool it shows in the Toolbar that I have the Direct Selection Tool activated and the cursor is the Direct Selection Tool one but the tool behaves like the Selection Tool (i.e. I can't select individual points).

    Saving the file seems to fix the issue and…

  17. 筆圧にてブラシの線幅設定をした線をコピペして、コピペ先のブラシを基本に設定すると、コピペ元の線幅設定が消える

    [現状]
    ①ペンタブレット筆圧感知にて、ブラシに線幅設定(線の入り抜き)を持たせながら描きます。
    ②ライブペイントを使用する為、線をコピー&ペースト。(背面以外の場所でも再現性あり)
    ③コピー先の線を、ブラシ”基本”にすると、コピー元の線幅情報が消えます。(入り抜き無しの一定の線になります)

    [想定していた結果]
    コピペ先の線の設定を変更しても、コピペ元には影響されない。CS6と同様の動作。

  18. Illustrator 25.4.1 "handcuffs" scaling and rotation effects with Wacom

    When using a Wacom Intuous Pro (PTH-660) with Illustrator: using the scale or rotate tool on a shape, I'm unable to commit the change to the object after I lift the pen off the tablet. Even pressing "v" or "esc" several times, or even switching programs and switching back to Illustrator, when the pen comes in range of the table surface again, it is still changing the scale or rotation of the object.

    I'm on Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 7530.

  19. The Mesh Tool and Curvature is lagging after I updated the Adobe Illustrator to the latest version.

    The handles for the mesh are difficult to adjust and move. The same thing also happened with the curvature tool when I updated my AI to the 2021 latest version.

  20. Unwanted automatic grouping of compound paths with blob brush tool

    When I draw too close to an existing path/compound path with the blob brush, it automatically groups the two (SEPERATE!) path together.
    It is "solved" if I check "merge only with selection" but that is not a real fix.

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/unwanted-grouping/m-p/12309007#M286929 see this thread for more on this issue.

    On MacBook Air M1, newest update, using wacom tablet. It did not ever happen before.
