  1. Mouse scroll doesn't work in Window menu

    Not only Window menu, but every menu, I guess, but Window is the main one where it really happens, when you have a lot of plugins installed.
    AI then draws arrow at the top and the bottom of the menu panel, and the only option to scroll it is by pressing these arrows with mouse.
    So
    1. Please allow mouse wheel to scroll it.
    2. Please allow us to choose between 'one panel, arrows' mode and 'unfolding panels' mode.

  2. Ui disappeared after update

    After the most recent update, it looks like most of the ui has disappeared. Switching to EssentiaIs didn't fix it. I can still add windows (see attached)

  6. Navigator does not change view

    In V24.02(win10, 64bit) the Navigator panel does not change the View. Wherever you click in the Navigator, the view is just moving in diagonal direction slowly.

  7. Illustrator Save as dialog box forgets custom size and position, other things

    [macOS Big Sur 11.1, Illustrator 25.1]

    In all previous versions of Illustrator, once you manually re-size and re-position the Save as dialog box, it stays that way -- at least until Illustrator quits. Its default size now it is tiny and unmanageable, and I have to re-size it every single time I save a file. Furthermore, it always defaults to the local user Documents folder, instead of the document's original folder. Finally, the entire file name AND EXTENSION are highlighted, when it always used to be just the file name. Change that all back, please.

  8. spell check locks AI without file already open to spell check

    I had opened Illustrator 2020 and wanted to open a file from the server, so I typed command+o on my Macintosh, but missed the "o" and hit command + "i" instead. [the keys are adjacent] This brought up the spell checker, without an open file. And there was no way to close the spell check window at all. the only buttons available were "start" or "done" which had no effect on the popover window. I had to force quit Illustrator 2020 to move forward. UI window closure buttons on the popover would have obviated this situation.

  10. My work space including the toolbars doesnt load

    when i launch illustrator nothing loads except the selected artboard. Everytime i open illustrator i need to manually add all the tool bars and panels to make my workspace. i re installed illustrator and cleared preference too, it worked fine for first load then happened the same after the second load. It's a User Interface Launch bug i guess. Fix it please. or provide a solution

    I have attached a exact screenshot of how my interface looks after every launch

  11. Window auto scrolling

    When opening Illustrator the file auto moves to the right at a slow pace. When hitting Shift it jumps - it only stay still if the mouse is off the application. The art won't stay steady on screen.

  12. Can't select text. I have to drag over it but then I can't move the text box.

    When I open a file, I can select a text box one time. Then I have to drag over the text to select it. I can't move the text at all with the selection tool. I have to use my arrow keys.

    I've been using Illustrator professionally for 17 years. It gets slower with every update. I don't understand the need for changes when they make it harder to use.

  13. Scale Tool windows defaults to random percents when real-time drawings is enabled.

    To recreate is problem: First enable Real-time drawing. Then draw a box. With the Scale Tool window open, uniform scale the box 400%. Duplicate that box by holding down OPTION key while click and dragging the box. Click on the second box and open the Scale Tool window: when I do this I no longer see 400% in the scale percentage, instead I find completely random numbers and sometimes it selects non-uniform. This gets annoying after a while.

  16. Toolbar not opening up tool menues / other tools on hover or clicking of triangle

    Illustrator 25..0.1 on MacBook Pro 2016 running Big Sur 11.1

    My toolbar does not allow me to access any of the other tools / submenues to change tools. Neither clicking the little triangle, nor hovering will open up the submenues. I can cycle through the visible tool icons by clicking while holding option, but have to open up submenues through Windw/... to get to tools / change settings. A real bother in my workflow.

    I've tried reinstalling Illustrator, no avail. I also can't reset the toolbar - that option is greyed out. No difference if I use the advanced or…

  17. Cursor in palettes doesn't highlight the content

    OS X 10.15.6, Illustrator 24.2.3

    • If you are in a field in the transform palette (e.g. the x-field where you can define the x-position of an object) and then use the tab key to hop to the next field [y-value] then usually the content of that field is highlighted so that you can simply override the existing value. Now the cursor jumps to the end of the field value and instead of overriting it adds the new value that you type. Very annoying as every other field is not doing that.

  18. Illustrator 2021 startet nicht vollständig. Kein Gebrauch möglich

    Betriebssystem: Windows 10 Home, 64 bit

    Nach dem Update der Programme funktioniert Illustrator nicht mehr. Bereits beim Start kommt eine Fehlermeldung über fehlende Plug ins (?) siehe Bild1 und anschließend erscheint eine schwarze Benutzeroberfläche mit Menü-Bar, die aber nicht reagiert. Trotz Deinstallation und Neuinstalltion hat sich das Problem nicht gelöst.

  19. Windows Shortcut for Replacing Images No Longer Works Properly

    Previously in the Windows desktop version, the shortcut Alt + F, L, C would replace the content of a placed image. Alt + F, L still works to bring up the Place navigation pane, but then the C is underlined for both "Open Cloud Document" and "Replace"; since cloud comes first, there is no way to use a shortcut to replace an image from your desktop. Please change one of the options so I can use a shortcut to perform this task again—I sometimes need it a hundred times a day.
