  1. Using Illustrator “Paste In Front” creates a Find window on the Desktop

    Hi;
    I have recently begun having a paste in front (⌘F) issue in AI 2020.

    For DECADES I have been able to select an item and copy (⌘C) then paste in front (⌘F) to create a copy of the selection exactly on top that I can then step/move as needed.
    I have been doing this in the Illustrator 2020 application for years.

    Now when I’m in Illustrator and I hit the paste in front (⌘F), it takes me directly to the desktop and creates a Find window. (And Does Not Paste In Front!)

    I can use “Paste In Front” in…

  2. Voreinstellung Einheit Allgemein Millimeter wird nicht gespeichert

    Beim Schließen von AI sollte die Voreinstellung Einheit-Allgemein-Millimeter sowie alle anderen Voreinstellungen gespeichert werden. Das ist leider nicht der Fall.

    Meine Systemangaben:
    Windows 10, AI Version 25.2

    Wenn ich die voreingestellte Allgemeine Einheit von punkt auf Millimeter ändere, dann die geöffnete Datei speichere, AI schließe, wieder öffne und irgendeine Datei öffne, oder auch AI durch den Aufruf einer Datei oder der vorher geöffneten Datei öffne, ist die Allgemeine Einheit wieder auf dem voreingestellten Wert "Punkt".

    Ich erwarte mir, daß der Wert dann Millimeter ist, weil ich ja die Voreinstellungen geändert habe.

    Freundliche Grüße

  3. Buttons hidden below view for print dialogue

    When my screen view is in large type, the print dialogue popup buttons become hidden out of view below the edge of my screen. It's impossible to resize the dialogue menu and it can't be moved up either. Using command- to make screen elements smaller doesn't make any change. I can make the screen resolution a smaller size, tho to see the whole window. But this defeats the purpose of having my screen settings on large b/c then I can't read the words in the dialogue box. Someone else reported a similar problem with Acrobat (in a MS forum) https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cannot-see-bottom-buttons-of-print-dialogue-box-in/2ef12505-bf43-e011-90b6-1cc1de79d2e2

  7. Rotate polygon with 3 sides (triangle)

    (A) If I create a polygon with only 3 sides (triangle), then it has a centre that corresponds to a circle around the triangle.
    (B) If I rotate the triangle by 90° with the Rotate tool, the centre of the circumcircle is used. That is correct.

    (C) If I rotate the same triangle by 90° with the menu command "Object > Transform > Rotate", then suddenly the centre of the bounding box is used as the centre of rotation. This is wrong in my eyes. Also, this new centre point remains.

  8. Portrait Mode

    Older versions of Illustrator support Portrait Mode - it seems like CC does not. This is very useful if your main computer is a Microsoft Surface docked in portrait mode or have a secondary monitor in portrait mode, or if using a Surface will on the go you prefer to work in portrait mode. It seems like it would be simple to change as when the Illustrator window is not active it reverts to portrait mode anyway, also my old version (CS4) works just fine in this mode so it has been done before. I've attached a video showing how…

  9. Resizing window distorts artwork and interface

    Selecting Edit>Recolor Artwork resulted in Illustrator distorting the contents of the user interface when the application window was resized. I was unable to replicate the problem after restarting Illustrator. The attached screenshot is not resized, it is exactly as Illustrator appeared after the bug manifested.

  10. Lag when mouseover on Font menu

    On macOS, if you click the "Type" menu in the menubar at the top of the screen, then hover over "Font" in the dropdown menu, there is serious lag as the fonts load. Sometimes if you're just passing over the Font option on your way to another item, you can experience lag for 3-5 seconds as the fonts load anyway.

    Illustrator 26.0.1, macOS 10.15.7, Macbook Pro 2019 16" 8 core i9.

  11. All confimation boxes closing

    Everytime I do an action that recquires a confirmation box - such as Save Document, Rasterize Text, etc - the box closes in less than a second, making impossible to do anything. So, when I'm working I can't save - and sometimes can't even shut down the program because all boxes closes in a blink.

    Im using the last AI version and Windows 11. Can someone help me? :(

  13. Menus aren't opening, or opening and closing fast. Isn't possible click and anything.

    On opening screen, it's not open Preferences menu or choose any options at document presets. The tab open and closes very fast.
    It's not access swatches, write the name of the file, access export menus, nothing.

    This problem started at version 22. Seem corrected, but the issue back after some minutes or hours of use. It's totally random.

    See videos below. Since september 2021.

    The issue is happening with other people at Adobe Community forum.

  14. Paused tutorial video, can't play again

    Trying to use tutorials to learn Illustrator. Pausing video to try things within the program results in me being unable to press play to continue the video. This requires me to restart my computer if I want to watch the video again.

  15. Paste operation does not properly ignore the null termination character of ANSI string

    During a paste operation to the art board, the final null termination character of the clipboard is not ignored, but rendered as part of the string used to compse the text object.

    I'm attaching an image of the clipboard contents, and I made a video to show the behavior. Under Windows, simply copy the value from the color dialog box and then click the desktop and paste.

  16. Some shortcuts don't work while using non-English keyboard / language layout

    After upgrading to AI 26.0 (and still not fixed in 26.0.1) some shortcuts stopped working, like those:
    - Show/hide layers = cmd + ;
    - Lock selection = cmd + 2

    It seems that all shortcuts with czech letters on the keyboard instead of US are affected. To be clear:
    - On us keyboard there is ";" key, but on the Czech keyboard, there is "ů" letter.
    - The same for the letter "2" on US, on the Czech keyboard, there is "ě" letter.

    Possible fix: to keep logic as before, when everything worked, you have to work with hardware…

  17. Übersetzungsfehler im neuen 3D Panel

    Im neuen Panel "3D und Materialien" gibt es unter dem Punkt "Aufblasen" einen Übersetzungsfehler.
    Hier wurde "Volume" versehentlich mit "Lautstärke" statt "Volumen" übersetzt.

  20. resizing a document window in illustrator is glitchy

    Mac OS 10.15.7
    AI 25.3.1

    Resizing an open document window is glitchy and not smooth at all. The artboard and imagery on it jump around as the window is resized. It's visually disrupting to workflow.
