  1. Pressing Numpad Enter no longer commits editing a note for an object in 27.6.1

    In previous version hitting Numpad Enter in the Note filed in the Attributes panel would have commit the changes into the field (while the main Enter created a new line). In 27.6.1 it’s not longer working, hitting Numpad Enter does not do anything — even create a new line. It should work and commit changes :(

    Steps:
    1. Open Attributes panel
    2. In the panel’s flyout menu choose Show Note
    3. Create any object, keep it selected
    4. Put the cursor in the Note field in Attributes panel and type anything
    5. Press Numpad Enter

    Expected: editing should end
    Current…

  4. Workspace keeps disappearing

    I had a custom workspace of everything I needed and right where I wanted it. Multiple times now I open up AI and my workspace is no longer there. I create a new one just how I want it again, and a short time later it disappears again and I have to start all over again. I don't know if its happening because of updates or something else, but it's frustrating and it throws off my workflow cause I have to keep taking take to reset everything.

  6. Dragging Pallets from monitors with different magnifications causes problems

    I have two monitors on my desktop. Both are 4K but one is set to magnification 100% and the other set to 175% for easy reading. When I run Illustrator on the 100% monitor and the pallets slip over to the 175% monitor, the pallets enlarge to 175%. Dragging them back to the 100% monitor leaves them at 175% magnification (which is much bigger than everything else).

    The magnified pallet still takes up the size of the regular un-magnified pallet, but the contents are too big to work and there are no scrollbars. So the Pallet boundaries are resized, but…

  7. Shift does not select multiple items any longer - Ai 28.0 / Mac OS 14.0/Mac Studio 2022

    Adobe AI upgraded on my system today to Illustrator 28 - 2024. Shift no longer works to select multiple objects or points. I use illustrator about 4-8 hours a day so I am very aware of the intended capability of the shift key while working. I have rebooted to hope for a resolve .... I can't seem to regain the functionality. My previous version of Ai did not perform this way. Bummed to consider having to downgrade back to previous version of Ai. Hope this helps bring attention.

  8. Application name in dialogue box contains strange character

    Illustrator version 27.6 shows strange characters in dialogue box.
    The app name is $$$/GeneralStr/196=Adobe Illustrator.
    It feels not good, to use an app with a strange behavior like this.

  9. Illustrator does not omit spaces in values in inputs, unlike in InDesign

    Just like it is demonstrated in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv5bcuIOrt/
    Unlike in InDesign, where we can accidentally make this:
    '21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' and get '210 mm' as a result, in Illustrator it goes liek this instead:
    '21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' → '21 mm'
    It just doesn’t understand what an aiming mistake is. Makes little sense, since it can’t be anything but that, so no punishment, please.

  10. Illustrator UI Scaling Issue

    I am currently using Illustrator version 27.3.1 on a modern Lenovo laptop and the UI is far too small and hard to see. I have had this same problem now for the last few years of updates of the program. I have searched this issue many times and have tried all the solutions that have been offered by the community support and none of them work. Has there been a solution for this issue developed yet?

  11. Changing file name while file is open provides no contextual response in cloud.

    Windows 11 Pro
    22H2 - Build: 22621.1992
    Experience Pack: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22644.1000.0

    Illustrator V. 27.7

    While In illustrator I realised I saved two iterations of the same name (I had intended to overwrite the previous cloud saved file but instead if added (1) to the name.

    In the home area I clicked my files and proceeded to change the name, hitting enter did nothing, hitting the enter on the d-pad did nothing. Clicking away did nothing. I had an epiphany and realised it was because I had the file open i couldn't change the name.

    However, this didn't…

  13. All menu item shortcuts are grayed out

    Illustrator 2023, v27.7
    MacOS Ventura 13.2.1
    Wacom intuos pro
    Apple Magic Mouse

    at some point, all the shortcut menu items became grayed out...I can USE the actual shortcuts like CTRL+X and CTRL+V
    i can select the commands in the menu and get them to work...but it's weird... not sure if it is associated with other weird behaviors like not being able to select and move an object?

  14. ヒストリー項目が正しく表示されない

    問題の説明:
    MacOS10.15.7 IllustratorCC ver.26.4.1

    オブジェクトは複製されますが、ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」となります。

    再現手順:
    1. ダイレクト選択ツールを選び、アートボード上のオブジェクトを選択
    2. キーボードのリターンキーを押し移動ダイアログを開く
    3. コピーボタンをクリックする
    4. ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」と表示されるがオブジェクトは正常にコピーされる

    実際の結果:
    ヒストリーパネル上で「取り消し」と表示

    期待された結果:
    「コピー」と表示される

    回避方法:
    ありません。

    その他…
    ・編集→カラーを編集
    ・リピートオブジェクトの編集処理
    ・グラデーションツールによる処理
    ・ブレンドツールをダブルクリックしてブレンドオプションダイアログを開き変更を適用する

    これらも「取り消し」と表示されます。

    ツールバー下部、塗と線に下にある塗り、グラーデーション、塗りなしのパッチをドロップして「塗」「線」を設定しようとするとヒストリーパネルでは「取り消し」になります。

    段落パネルの多くの機能(インデント・段落前後あき以外)とOpenTypeパネルは項目が二重に追加されたりします。
    全般的にヒストリーパネルの表示はおかしいです。

  16. Window and panels moving when Mac goes to sleep

    There is an issue with Adobe apps while using Mac M1 with an external monitor. When put in sleep, the windows and palettes move to the bottom half of the screen.

    There are comments on this thread that confirm

    this is an issue with specifically Adobe apps(illustrator, photoshop and indesign at least):

    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/window-and-panels-moving-when-mac-goes-to-sle...

    please, Adobe support, address this issue.

  17. Can't right click to open context menu after selecting new object

    Right-clicks very often (but not quite 100% of the time) fail to open the context menu if the right mouse button is clicked straight after selecting a new object and the mouse pointer has not moved between the left-click (that selects the new object) and the right-click.

    Moving the mouse pointer even a little after selecting a new object makes right-clicks register correctly. The clicks will also register correctly if the user waits about 0.5 seconds before right-clicking, when not moving the mouse.

    If the right-click fails to register, clicking the button again will work, even without moving the mouse…

  18. Illustrator CCC23 crashes when clicking scrollbar in the Layers Panel

    I use a Wacom Intuos Pro Small Tablet on an M1 Max Macbook Pro running macOS 13 Ventura. I have the buttons on the tablet's pen mapped to specific keystrokes when using Illustrator CC23, which forces me to click the scrollbar to scroll within the Layers panel. 95% of the time, using any part of the scrollbar crashes Illustrator. This was never the case with previous versions and is very frustrating because using the scrollbar is now second nature to me and is very difficult to avoid.

  19. Where to begin?

    The progression of Illustrator over the last 2 years has become maddening. Im sure this will never be read but having come to the end of my tether i need to say something somewhere. Firstly, at work, i use the same size image and format to start 99.9% of all my work. Yet every time i open illustrator, i have to put thoise dimensions in manually, in the recent section is just has 3 standard sizes (one of which is only ever used in the US, i am not in the US)

    Secondly, every time i open illustrator it reverts…

  20. Dialog windows move / float to the left

    Bug Report: Floating windows drift offscreen (see attached video).
    Adobe Illustrator 26.4

    I tried reverting to older versions of Adobe Illustrator, but the issue exists for them as well; To me, that suggests the problem is related to the beta macOS. I am raising this bug now because the issue could present itself as users upgrade to macOS Ventura this fall.

    System Info:
    I am running MacOS, Ventura, Version 13.0 Beta (22A5311f) on iMac M1 (2021) with 8MB RAM.
