  1. ライブペイントオブジェクトにオーバープリントブラックを適用した際の問題

    ライブペイントを適用したオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントブラックを適用するとライブペイント設定が消える。

    macOS11.6
    Illustrator CC2022以降

    再現手順
    1. 線や麺の組み合わせでライブペイントを作成し着色する。
    2. ライブペイントオブジェクトを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
    3. ライブペイントに対して指定した処理が消え、閉図形外で保持されていた線も幅0.5pt、K100の黒に変化する。

    期待する結果
    ライブペイントオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントした際、閉図形外のK100の線等以外にオーバープリント属性を適用せず、ライブペイントオブジェクトの状態を保持する。

    実際の結果
    ライブペイントオブジェクトに指定した塗りなどの情報が消え、元から持っている線幅等の情報も一定値に変化する。

    代替処理
    ライブペイントに対する「ブラックオーバープリント」は行わない。必要なオーバープリント指定は手動で指定するか、ライブペイントオブジェクト自体を拡張してから「ブラックオーバープリント」を適用する。

  2. Illustrator freezes after computer date changes several times.

    Illustrator stops responding when the computer's date has changed. Photoshop and Indesign work well.

  4. Placing Linked PDF file with "Show Import Options > Crop to:", placement doesn't obey the option selected

    On the latest update to Illustrator (early July 2023), when placing a PDF with "Show Import Options", no matter which option is picked (Art, Crop, Trim, Bleed, Media), it always places to the crop/artboard, even though there is bleed set and larger media/artwork beyond the artboard in the PDF.

  5. "unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document

    "unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document.

    Reproduce:
    1. make a document with variables. I have a mix of image and text but I don't think it matters.

    1. link multiple document objects to one variable, as is allowed within illustrator

    2. try to update the variable library with a CSV that has the same structure just different values (average use case)

    You should get a dialog warning that variable sets need to be overwritten blah blah click ok and then the error pops up. Probably forgot a nested loop would be my completely uneducated guess.

  6. Rotate tool doesn't center

    When trying to select center while trying to rotate an object around another one, it doesn't center. It will put the center of rotation somewhere around the center of the second object. Like this everything rotated and copied is off center.

    Not sure if it is related, but when selecting several items and want to align them horizontally, it just doesn't work. It is placed off the axis (imaginary horizontal line).

  9. Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!

    When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
    I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU

    1. Create a new file.
    2. Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
    3. Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
    4. Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
    5. Try to export the file (Export…

  10. my cursor is showing a black arrow all the time and doesn't show the tool that I am using

    All the tools are working perfectly but instead of the cursor showing the tool I am using, it shows a black arrow all the time. I tried to reinstall Adobe but with the problem persists. Attached you can see two screenshots of me selecting two different tools but the cursor remains with the black arrow. thanks

  12. Illustrator not copying svg code to clipboard

    After updating to v 27.5, objects that I copy and then paste into other apps are pasting as un-antialiased rasterized images. Previously, the copied data would paste as vectors into apps that accept svg data, and antialiased transparent png images in other apps. To get around this I am first pasting into XD, then copying the data as svg. It would be good to restore the original behavior of the clipboard

  13. Illustrator crashes while working

    Hi! I have a problem, illustrator crashes while working. It started after reinstalling windows. I've already reinstalled Windows too and tried many versions of illustrator. I bought a new computer hoping that the power will be good and everything will work. But illustrator keeps crashing while working. There are no alerts. It just shuts down while drawing. I didn't find a similar problem on the internet.

  18. quick keys for arrange disabled (but menu selection of arrange commands still operate)

    Mac Pro (late 2013) - ai 27.1.1 macos 12.6.3 -

    no conflicting system quick key found
    online forums suggested quitting safari, which did not work
    quitting everything else did not work either
    next step is system reboot, but this is a bug if it requires a system reboot.

  19. Unmatching sizes for identical circles with Preview Bounds

    When Use Preview Bounds option is enabled, Illustrator lies about the sizes of some of the identical circles on artboards.
    See the GIF and the .ai document attached.

    Enable the option, open Transform or Properties panel and select each circle. Three at the top right will display the proper size, with the stroke weight included — 8.5 + 3.5px.
    Three at the left bottom will be only 8.5 id diameter, without the stroke accounted for.
