  1. Cannot copy from one layer and. paste to another....

    After the latest update, copy and paste between layers is wonky. If I copy an item from one layer, it will only paste back into that layer. If I make the source layer hidden and try to paste, I get the "attempting to paste to locked/hidden layer" warning. I can select an object, then drag the small box that shows up in the layers panel to a new layer, but this is a bit awkward....

    This behavior is most probably cause by Paste Remembers Layers option, accessible in the Layers panel’s flyout menu.

    When it’s enabled, Illustrator tries to paste copied objects into their original layers.

    If the option it disabled, but it still does not work as you want it to, please reply back.

  2. Regression in version 27.0 - SVG tspan not handled correctly

    Hello

    When I place the following SVG

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 500 500" width="500" height="500"><text><tspan>60</tspan></text></svg>

    And then try to export the object back to SVG, I get

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="36.86" height="39.2" viewBox="0 0 36.86 39.2"/>

    The tspan content is gone.

    Without the tspan it works ok. It also works fine in AI 26.5

    The example is an extract from a larger SVG object created through the Datylon plugin

    Seems like an AI regression bug. Any chance it will be fixed in later versions?

    Tx!

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.1.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  3. Offset Path not remembering last setting

    I use Illustrator (26.5, but this has persisted through several versions) both at home and work. My mac at home remembers the last amount i used for Offset Path. For example, if i choose a path and offset by -.25 in, and then choose another shape and select Offset Path, the setting is defaulted to the same amount: -.25 in.

    However, at work, if i choose a second shape and choose Offset Path, the default is set to -.025 in.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

  4. some shortcut combinations don't work.

    Hi. I found that some shortcut combinations don't work.
    I use WIN10, Ai 2022, Korean.

    "Ctrl+Shift+1", "Ctrl+Shift+5" don't work with the number keys on the right numberpad. (with upper numberpad, it does work well.)

    (I assign them to adjust text size stuffs)

    Is that a unique situation just on me?
    Is there anyone who check these shortcut combination whether works or not?

  5. 数字入力時のバグ

    図形サイズや角度など、普段数字を入力するときはShiftキーなど同時に押す必要が無いが、逆にShiftキーを押しながら数字を打たないと、!や$など約物を入力してしまう。キーボードの設定と逆になっていて大変使いづらい。

  6. Inconsistent units

    This has been a bug for a long time. Can we have consistent units shown throughout the palettes? Preference is set to mm but palettes show px.

  7. Unable to set Illustrator 2022 as default app

    When setting the default app for Illustrator files, 2022 version doesn't appear as an option. Files always open in 2021. When using Windows Default Apps setting, Illustrator 2022 doesn't appear as an option. This problem doesn't occur with other 2022 Adobe apps such as InDesign and Photoshop.

  9. Measurement labels cannot be deactivated

    In "preferences" the option to disable "Measurement labels" does not work: they always remain active. It needs to be fixed because it is very annoying when drawing. Thank you.

  10. If the vote is low, is the insect I found a bug a bird?

    Let me tell you from the beginning, I'm not trying to get more votes here..
    What does voting change? Does it produce a solution? What does it matter if I get 1,000,000,001 votes?
    For example, there is a bug in illustrator and I prove it. But vote 3 etc. 5 Does this cease to be a bug? What a stupid app.
    I have serious doubts that Uservoice is cumbersome.

    In the meantime, check my profile if you want to see my questions.

  11. Arrange Error

    The program doesn't allow certain layers and artwork to be arranged to the front... have to start over on specific things because of whatever the bug is that doesn't allow "arrange" to work properly.

  13. Non HTTPS default link in SVG export

    When Exporting SVG's from illustrator the SVG code output still links to the old http:// version of the w3.org website

    Ideally the output would be as follows <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg id="Layer_1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

    As it currently exports http://www.w3.org/2000/svg
    Google picks up non https links in your website code

  14. Previous illustrator version open with wrong size

    This is a BUG, not an idea…

    Details of your operating system: MacOS Catalina

    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 26.3.1

    The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
    I created a file with 100% size to send to a printer. I have the most recent version but they have a previous version. When they open the file, object size is 10x smaller. What can be causing these and how can it be solved?

    I'm sending screenshots

  17. BUG: Undo function now resets after ctrl. c

    Before the recent update, I could press undo to go back to a previous item, copy it (without moving or altering it in any way), and REDO all the actions over and paste that copied item but now when i just press copy, it resets so I can't redo!

    投稿をありがとうございました。上記にもございますように、開発に取り掛かっております。他にも同様の事象が見つかっております。


    以下に、英語ですが開発より記事の投稿がございますので、ご参照ください。

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/issue-with-illustrator-about-the-color-image/m-p/12981944#M323943

    <日本語訳>

    ご迷惑をおかけして申し訳ございません。弊社では、この問題を再現することができます。すでに製品チームにバグを記録しており、現在調査中です。


    この問題は、リンクされた画像を含むAiファイルで発生しています。保存時に「リンク先のファイルを含める」を選択し、再度開くと、Aiファイルの画像が反転したり、黄色く見えたりします。


    これを回避するために、以下の手順をお試しください。

    ●ドキュメントに画像を埋め込む

    ●「リンク先のファイルを含む」のチェックを外す

    ●旧バージョンのIllustratorにダウングレードする


    こちらをお試しいただき、うまく機能したかどうか、またお知らせをいただけますと幸いです。

    どうもありがとうございます。

  20. Show grid shortcut not working on macOS Monterey
