  1. Grid View fails to render grid lines at various zoom levels.

    I am experiencing a persistent problem with Gridlines not rendering correctly at larger zoom levels (for several weeks now).

    Adobe Illustrator (25.3.1)/Preferences/Guides & Grid:
    Gridline every: 72px
    Divisions: 18
    Grids In Back: Checked
    Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom): Checked

    As you can see in the attached screen shot (800% Zoom) that is not a grid.

  2. Bounding Box is invisible on Apple display, but not on MacBook

    I use a MacBook Pro with a Thunderbolt Display attached. With recent upgrade, the bounding box becomes invisible when viewed on the display, but is visible when viewed on the MacBook. Artboards are also very pale grey, very hard to see, (when adding new ones)

  3. Navigator contents not filling up window

    I posted this in the forum too.
    in the latest update, contents of navigator do not fill the window.

    Not only that, they are not even centered.
    Navigator options are set to "view artboard contents only".
    I tried checking/unchecking, but same weird beahviour.
    So here are some screenshots.

    Illustrator window, and then Illustrator Navigator. Not only do the artboards not fit the window, they are cramped on the right side.
    The second pair shows Ps behaving properly. You can notice behind PS Navigator is Ai Navigator and size discrepancy.
    Is this a bug to be fixed?
    Please bring back previous…

  6. Tool Tip for the "Get familiar with illustrator..." button doesn't go away

    Unable to close this tool tip.
    No text is showing and it doesn't go away.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled.
    This happens for 25.23.0 and 25.23.1 - which I've tried.

    Changing the view to Presentation View and escaping out of it moves the box to the bottom right.

  9. Selected UI field not readable

    The existing contents of all UI fields go blank/white when they are double/triple clicked to manually enter a value.

    I would expect the existing value to be highlighted/selected in grey so that they're legible.

    Examples attached:
    1. Before
    2. After double-clicking the "12 pt" value

  11. New Rotate View Tool

    Windows 10
    Illustrator Version 25.3.1 (64 bit)
    Using mouse and keyboard, no wacom tablet

    When using the new Rotate View Tool, all alignment buttons and arrow keys also get flipped... Meaning if you rotate view, your alignment center top and bottom with actually center left and right. Also nudging with the arrow keys will move it up or down instead of left/right.

  13. Blue learn box won't go away

    I cannot see part of my workspace because the blue learn box covers up the panels and I cannot get it to go away. How am I supposed to use your program when your supposedly helpful box covers up what I need to see in order to create projects? This is unbelievably frustrating, and I am probably going to have to use some other program to create my logo since I cannot use the work space because of this idiotic blue learn bubble that won't go away and can't be moved, apparently.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.4.1 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.

  15. Tab forces viewport to jump when panels are docked

    When you have a complex document and panels docked, it takes a lot of time to hide them with Tab because the position of the viewport is moved. It does not happen when all panels are floating.

    1. Load Essentials Classic workspace
    2. Open any document with art in it (the more complex the better)
    3. Press Tab — viewport moves (and it is slow!)
    4. Press Tab again to show all panels
    5. Undock every panel and toolbars to make them float (including Control panel)
    6. Press Tab — viewports stays in place (and it is almost instant!)

    So the position of viewport should not…

  16. selected points don't appear to be selected

    When I use the Group Select, or the Direct Select tool, often the "anchors" will don't appear to be highlighted when you click to select. If you then hover your mouse over the points, they once again appear to be selected.
    I've also seen instances of the opposite--when the top left (control panel) states "no selection," yet anchor points appear to be selected. (The points are NOT selected, as any attempt to modify using a menu choice yields a message such as "make a selection first.")

  17. Leading space drop down menu

    Hey Adobe, on my Mac mini m1 the leading space from the contextual menu's is different between applications. See attaches image. I would say the space in PS is OK. Bigger makes the menu's harder to read. ( I'm working in a 4>2k scaled mode on my screen)

  19. Selection in the right pane

    Since a recent update of Illustrator, it has been very difficult or even almost impossible to select data in the right panels with the mouse. The cursor is stuck, and you must either use the keyboard to erase data and change their value or double-click on the data and replace its value.
    This bug was not present in the former versions of Illustrator (Windows).
    Regards,
    Pascal Garin
