  1. Illustrator Recent Files list on the welcome page is not updated until the application restart

    The Recent Files list on the Welcome page is not updated until Illustrator restart. E.g. you can create some new files and save them but they do not appear in the Recent Files welcome page. But they do appear if you restart the application.

    The Reflect Tool doesn't remember the last setting, (e.g. vertical 90º) and instead puts in a random angle.

  5. Incompatibility with the App 'RightZoom'

    I was investigating a phenomena of very slow selection of objects and an unintentional motion of object to the cursor position although mouse is not pressed (object not dragged).

    I found, after a lot of test and eliminations that the problem was conflict with the app 'RightZoom' that allows Window Zoom while keeping menu visible, something that Mac normally does not do (menu line disappears, appearing only when mouse is pushed to the upper border). Once the app is shutdown or removed, selection goes back to normal - fast and stable.

  8. 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.

  10. Common Dialog Boxes lag: saves each step from Dialog Box

    – MacOS Mojave 10.14.1
    – AI 24.1.2

    The problem appears in ALL dialog boxes in Illustrator: from transforming to changing colours.

    For example I want to move my object 10px to the left. I open the Dialog Box, all the Positions are 0, Preview is on. I enter 10px, the object moves to 10 px. But, for example, that isn't enough for my artwork, and i'm entering then 12px instead of 10px, in the same dialog box.

    And then the "magic" happens.

    Let's say the original position of the object is 0. When I enter 10px, the position changes also…

  11. Updated UI has some issues - Tired of Updating - Tired of Bugs

    Happy that Adobe continues to try to update the products. That being said I'm a little worn. I constantly get notifications from Adobe Creative Cloud App about updates and there seems to be some issues. Still working out of a previous version of InDesign for numerous reasons. Weirdly found all of my Creative Cloud docs (of which there's not too many luckily) in the trash can this AM. I was able to recover a heart skip and waste of time later. Additionally the Illustrator Update... Well... Just looks sloppy. Help me, help you... And give us a good products with…

  12. To page view or workspace view rotate option

    Ever try to work on a building drawing that's flopped 90° to the right because your overprice copy of Adobe Illustrator doesn't have the option to SIMPLY rotate the view?

  15. Using shortcut adds icon to toolbar

    Hi,

    I want to have customized toolbars that only show the tools I've specified. However, when I select a tool via a shortcut, e.g V for Selection Tool, that icon is then added to my custom toolbars. Very frustrating and distracting.

  18. report a bug

    Mac OSX 10.15.3, on a MacBook Air
    I have 2 screens. Built in and Cinema Display (It's stacked above).
    When Illustrator is expanded to full screen on the Cinema Display, the fx button doesn't show it's menu option. If the application window is less than the full height of the screen, it shows up. Note: My Appearance panel was at the bottom of the screen, so the fx button is at the bottom of the display.

  20. when I open Illustrator there are no tools showing

    I can't see my tools in Illustrator and I can't change or reset my Workspace :(

    I'm able to add some things like the Toolbar and Swatches/Layers/Etc windows, but I'm never able to see it complete, with that top bar that includes the Align + Transform + Etc

    Usually setting the Workspace to Essentials Classic does the job... please help!
