  1. 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…

  3. It is no longer possible to speed up vertical scroll holding SHIFT

    Holding SHIFT causes AI to fast scroll horizontally.
    Holding SHIFT + CMD causes AI to fast scroll horizontally.

    IE - no longer possible to fast scroll vertically??

  4. 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.

  5. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  9. why can't highlight multiple layers from different group anymore 24.4 update !?

    I suddenly can't highlight multiple layers from different group, by holding down the (shift) key. And deselecting with (Alt) isn't working either!

  11. Document Setup - Artboard size not showing cursor

    Pre update the artboard size fields (W: and H: fields) after clicking Document Setup button in top toolbar would show cursor position. After updating to 24.2 the cursor is no longer visible. The field will highlight but we are not able to see the cursor position.

    Please allow for cursor to be visible inside these fields.

  14. Tiny UI

    UI is super tiny and remains that way even if I choose "large scaling" in the UI preferences. I even updated the program and it's still an issue. operating on windows 10 and Adobe 2020.

  15. automatic page zoom after hiding Illustrator

    Mac OS 10.15.5
    Driver[0] Name: AMD Radeon Pro 580X OpenGL Engine
    OpenGL Version: 4.1 ATI-3.9.15
    Illustrator Version: 24.1.3

    I frequently hide Illustrator with cmd-H keyboard shortcut.
    I kept noticing the system chime when returning to Illustrator.
    I recently noticed the zoom entry at the lower left corner was highlighted when returning.
    I don't think this should be highlighted, waiting for me to type a zoom percentage when I come back to Illustrator. The chime is for an incorrect entry.

  17. drop down boxes appear off screen - instead of simply dropping down.

    I encounter and issue in illustrator where my drop-down menus appear either on the left of my screen or in the case of the Variable Width Profile opens at the bottom of my screen, (outside of illustrator) and won't allow me to select the profile I would prefer. It's a floating box but it won't allow me to move it. I have a similar issue in Premier as well. I don't have this issue in PS, so it appears as exlcusive to illustrator.

  18. Variable width profile is off screen

    I don't understand why but this bug is visible not only in illustrator but also in Premier.

    My issue is that many of the scroll, drop down tools or options appear in random areas of my work area. Most specific is my Variable width profile - instead of dropping down, it appears on the lower end of my illustratror window. I have multiple monitors and on one (IMAC 27") the full drop-down appears on the lower end of the work area. On my LG 34" inch, it appears partially off-screen, none the less off my work area. I have adjusted…

  20. 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.
