  1. 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)

  4. Problem with Direct selections (A) - Clicking on the patch does not mark the object

    Hi,
    something has changed in Illustrator updates.

    I understand that an object nested / masked in an object should not be editable with the Selections Tool (V) from the main object level. Yes, and that's good.

    But definitely NOT when use tool (A). This is a different work scope situation in Illustrator when working with the Direct Selections Tool (A).
    Then each track visible in the Outline view should be selectable.

    This has made the job a lot more complicated now when I want to select objects inside a crop and edit their properties or shape.

    Unwanted change in illustrator…

  6. MacOS Big Sur rendering bug.

    Hi!
    I am an apple developer and I installed Big Sur beta (now on version 3) for work. I run into a problem with Illustrator that other people are not seeing. If I open one file everything is OK. When opening two or more files, I get a really nasty visual problem, with Illustror only. See file attached. Is anybody else having this problem, is there a way to fix it? I reinstalled Illustrator and it keeps happening.

  8. Opening issues

    Since last week I'm facing this situation (attach): when I open illustrator, Home shows fine, but when I open a file, it doesn't open at all, and part of home screen still appears in background. Tools painel is there, but Layers and other stuff (like the art as well) don't. When open two files, it all appears, but eventually layers painel and others won't work (it's like the buttons of painels are pressed (darker), but their option won't show up.

  9. Illustrator 125% Scaling is missing... (UI is too big, or too small)

    Hi
    i have a 16.5 inches laptop with latest version of windows 10, and 1920*1080 full HD display.
    the normal, and default UI scale of Windows 10 is 125% on my screen, that looks very great and standard.
    in illustrator 2020, i have a big problem in UI scaling. there is just two options:
    scale to lower supported scale factor, and scale to higher supported scale factor.... that first one makes UI scale to 100% and i can't read anything, and second one makes it on 150% scale that is very very big.

    there is not same problem in photoshop…

  10. 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. A layer name with Emoji brakes a layer window

    When an artwork contains a layer whose name has emoji such as 👍, a layer window is broken. Interfaces (Eye or lock icons, thumbnail or name) of several layers or groups will disappear and lost controlled. Fortunately, I knew which layer name has emoji so that it has been recovered by deleting the emoji.

  14. No x- and y-values for rectangles in the top menu bar

    The last Update 24.2 installed. When drawing a rectangle there are no more x- and y-values shown in the top menu bar!!! So they can’t be edited. Only the width and height is shown. How miserable.

    I happens when the width of the screen is not wide enough to fit all the elements the Control panel can display. Some blocks, especially from the Transform section, get omitted.

    To workaround this without purchasing a larger display, one can open the Control panel's flyout menu, untick some options, like Align, and check if the section needed returns. If yes — then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40231882-allow-us-to-chose-order-of-controls-in-control-pan

  15. 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.

  16. Illustrator crashes when switching views in the Asset Export panel

    Has this been reported yet? There's a really easy-to-reproduce crash bug in Adobe Illustrator involving the Asset Export panel that affects even the latest version (24.2) .
    If the Asset Export panel contains more than two items and an item other than the first is currently being renamed and the view is attempted to be switched from Grid View to List View, the mouse cursor will begin to move really slowly for a few seconds and after that, Illustrator will crash. See the video attached for a demonstration.

    Some system info:
    Adobe Illustrator 24.2
    OS: Windows
    Version: 10.0
    System Architecture:…
