Global swatches unlinking from grayscale gradient
I'm on a Mac Pro using Mojave version 10.14.6
Using Illustrator 2020 & 2021, both updated to latest iterations.I have a gradient one piece object, I turn a copy of it grayscale through the Edit Color feature > convert to grayscale, I extract the grays generated and ensure global swatches is on to keep swatches linked. Each of this swatch I rename to a specific designation. I used this grayscale gradient and use it as an opacity mask, this serves as a density mask that allows me to control the opacity of each section of the color gradient separately.…

Color picker preview doesn't match color field/document, matches monitor RGB instead
- Operating system: Windows 10 Pro. Version of Adobe Illustrator: 25.0
- When I select a color in the color picker, the circled color in the color field doesn't match the color in the preview. The color field matches the document, but the preview shows it as much brighter. It actually matches my monitor RGB since it matches the document opened in Windows photo viewer (see attachment). I don't have this problem in Photoshop. Everything matches. It looks like the color field is correctly color managed but the preview box is not.
- Expected result: I expect the preview to match the color…

Adding colours from Adobe Libraries to swatches creates duplicates
When I add a selection of colours from the adobe libraries panel to swatches, using the ctrl+click and selecting 'add color to swatches' it adds them twice in the swatches panel. So if I select 5 colours and add, they show up in swatches as color1, color1,color2, color2,color3, color3,color4, color4,color5, color5

Crash when changing gradient stop color to white
Illustrator 24.3, OS X 10.15.7.
- Create a shape with a gradient fill.
- Select any color stop that's not already white.
- Change the color of the stop to white by clicking the white box that's to the right of the no-fill ("None") box. Illustrator will crash immediately
Changing the color value any other way does not trigger a crash. Screen recording showing how to reproduce the crash and the stack trace are attached.

Consistence in editing common values
E.g. when two HSB colors voth have 100% saturation, a selection containing those objects should allow to edit their saturations simultaneously.
But Ai leaves the field empty - as if the values where different.

Lost extra Pantone Colours after Illustrator 2021 update
I have registered a Pantone booklet and downloaded the PANTONE colour manager to gain the extra missing Pantone swatch colours. This was working fine but after the 2021 update I have lost them.
I have tried going back into the Pantone Colour Manager and re-updating the newest colour books I want (PANTONE Solid Coated-V4 and PANTONE+ Solid Coated-336). But the Applications to apply them to as options are only InDesign and Photoshop. If I click the + button below to Add Illustrator to the list, it says I have to click the Browse button and locate the Illustator.exe file. I…

'Edit Color Group' does not respect global or spot color swatches.
The 'edit color group' tool is a neat little palette explorer, but in practice I never use it because my workflow is centered around global swatches, and it completely ignores that.
Try this:
- Make a few global color swatches. Draw some shapes using them.
- Double-click on one of those swatches, play with the sliders, notice that everything drawn in it changes to match.
- Make those swatches into a color group.
- Select the color group and hit the 'Edit Color Group' button in the Swatches palette.
- Change some colors, hit OK, yes you do want to save your changes to the…

- Observe the fill swatch now has a question mark
- Draw another rectangle
- Error message appears.

Eyedrop multiple fills
Please allow there to be an option on the eyedropper tool to select multiple fills on appearances to apply to another object. Example; with pattern design, we create a top transparent pattern than a second fill with a solid color to create the final pattern. We would like to be able to easily apply those two fills to another object
1 voteYou can open Eyedropper tool’s options (double-click tool icon or hit Enter while the tool is active) and check both Appearance ticks to force it to pick and apply all appearance items, including multiple fills.

Color Theme Window isn't Expanding
I have Windows 10 and Illustrator 2020 and 2021 installed on my desktop. When I click on Color Themes I get a narrow window that doesn't open up all the way and there is no way of trying to expand it on the sides. I can expand it horizontally, but not vertically. How can I fix this problem

Unexpected fills when editing a pattern swatch
I manually created a pattern swatch and discovered I had an error. When I pull the pattern tile onto the artboard to edit I have fills where there were none. The motifs and lettering were created in Illustrator on iPad with the blob brush tool and then arranged into a repeating tile on the desktop -- most current CC release. I suspect the path orientation is reversed as when I try to remove the fill I still have a filled shape.
macOS Catalina 10.15.7, Illustrator Beta 25.0 78@21978
