Appearance panels not consistent
For some reason, the two ways to inspect the Appearance of the selection do not reflect the same information.
In the small panel a triangle with an exclamation mark appeared to make note of the fact that two strokes are applied and I should check the Appearance panel.. Why not show the correct Appearance information in all Appearance panels?
See screenshot.

compound paths and gradients
So I made a pie chart, then applied 3D, expanded its appearance, and then made it a compound path to apply a gradient to it and it has been **** on earth to work with. It has funny artifacts that I can't even edit or look at. One of the elements fills the element with the gradient instead of just the outline. I managed to fix it by moving it around and playing with it but it will probably happen again.

Scaling appearance with Transform Effect doesn’t work as expected
MacOS 12.6.3
Illustrator 27.2Applying scaling transform effect with “Transform Objects” checkmark OFF
and “Scale Strokes and Effects” and “Transform Patterns” ON
doesn’t work properly in some cases, for example:
irregularities in dash/gap lengths are introduced when scaling dashed lines,
arrowheads are not scaled at all,
pattern brushes are not scaled at all,
art brushes are scaled partly (the unstretchable bits are not scaled while the main shaft is scaled).I would expect the same result as with Scale dialog box with the same settings — this one works perfectly. I want to replicate it as an appearance effect.

Gaussian blur does not get rendered
Two white stripes on the blue background have gaussian blur applied to them, but the effect is invisible (unless I reduce Document Raster Effects’ Resolution). The CS6 version is throwing you a warning it’s not enough RAM to apply the effect. The latest version just says nothing, it just calculates it, shows the progress bar, but doesn’t apply it (I checked this with the All the Warnings reset also).
This same file has another problem, unfoldable layers — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794262
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

Free Distort effect ignores Drop Shadow effect within
If a Drop Shadow effect is above a Free Distort effect in the Appearance panel (which means the shadow gets applied after the distortion) — it works fine.
However, if we first have a shadow and then try to distort the object which casts it (the Free Distort is below the Drop Shadow in Appearance) — the vector geometry gets distorted, but the shadow stays orthogonal and immune to the distortion.
Not a very popular workflow, I know, but still.

3D effect in Illustrator 2023 doesn’t work
After updating to 2023, the 3D effect no longer works on macOS 12.6.1. This is also the case with Photoshop. I then get the message that an error has occurred.
I don't have that problem on my laptop with the latest version of macOS.1 vote -
Missing Pixels After Rendering 3d Objects
Windows 11
AI 2023 Version 27.4Whenever I render 3d objects in illustrator,
missing pixels or weird scratches show up within
the object. It doesn't matter if I change the
lighting or material or size, the issues are still there.The scratches show up when I export the objects as well. My document raster effect settings are on 300 ppi.
Also, changing from CPU/GPU view doesn't make
a difference.This only started happening in the past few days.
I've used this tool before on my computer W/o
issues. My GPU is up to date. It’s equipped to handle everything. I’m…1 vote -
Drop shadows rendering differently after updating from 25.0 to 25.4.4
This is causing a lot of headaches in our department. The drop shadow appears to have gotten smaller after updating to 25.4.4, even though the values are the same. This edit is destructive and cannot be resolved by reverting to 25.0 and resaving. Attached is screenshot showing drop shadow changes. (AI file is larger than 50 MB.)

ドロップシャドウの一部だけが解像度が低い
macOS Catalina (Ver. 10.15.7)
Illustrator 2021
ラスタライズ効果設定の解像度が「350ppi」に設定されている状態で、複数箇所でドロップシャドウを使用しているファイルがあり、作業前はすべてのドロップシャドウが正しい350ppiの状態（表示）だったが、編集作業終了時に1箇所だけドロップシャドウの表示が、72ppi程度の解像度に変わっていた。
色々と動作検証をしてみましたが同様の状態にできず、原因不明です。
低解像度のドロップシャドウ部分は表示のみではなく出力した際も低解像度のままとなっており、ドロップシャドウ部分に変更を加えたり、コピペしたりすると正しい表示に戻るようです。63 votes -
Eyedropper random wrong results
OSX 13.0.1
Illustrator 27.1.1Attempting to pick up paragraph and character values of text with eyedropper. Test is built in a new document from a blank template, components pasted from a working file.
Expected result: that selected text will end up with same values (font, color, size, lead, letterspacing) as sample
Actual result: as far as I can see, completely random results. Sometimes the letterspacing is changed to a value neither the source nor the destination is set to. Sometimes nothing happens. In this video, the font color changes to a color that is not used in the document.I…

Copy and Paste Appearance into Photoshop Not working
Update: I just noticed that this problem only occurs when I've applied the appearance effect to the entire layer as opposed to each individual stroke.
When I edit a brush stroke appearance on illustrator, that appearance doesn't carry over when pasting into Photoshop like it used to. I've tried turning on ACIB preserve appearance, but that doesn't work. The only workaround is if I expand the brush stroke (which is getting tiresome because I do this quite often).
Another issue: When working on one layer with multiple brush strokes, I attempted to expand that one stroke, but every single stroke…

All elements disappearing the more I edit. They show in layers panel, but not on artboard or in exports.
I'm working from (an up-to-date version of) an Illustrator file with five differently sized artboards. They all are using the same elements and symbols, just arranged different for different layouts. When I click on one of the artboards and select a group to scale down, the elements begin disappearing and have not reappeared.
I exited the group and more elements in the artboard disappeared. Clicking out of the artboard group itself made the entire group disappear. When I click back into the artboard, selecting an element reveals the outlines and bounding boxes, but the artwork itself is not visible. Opacity…

3D Revolve Classic not updating applied symbols after symbol changes
Making changes inside a symbol does not update where it is used as an instance. Video below shows editing of an extrude with a symbol applied to the outside of a cylinder. The preview toggle on/off inside the extrude tool also does not work in updating the applied symbol in real time.

Offset Path Effect unexpectedly losing details
Issue with the Effect, Path > Offset Path... As a professional printer, we need to counter the spread of ink and recently had a job where the client pointed out that the dots of the letter 'i' were missing in their text... Normally I'd offset by -0.025mm as this is counters the ink, but due to the font style, I set at -0.01mm and expanded... In our investigations, we have found that -0.012mm would have been fine, but below starts producing very unexpected results... I did wonder if it was down to the complexity of all the text, but it…
