  1. Hauptmenü nicht sichtbar

    Jedes mal wenn ich Illustrator öffne zeigt sich die Startseite nicht. Das Einzige was zu sehen ist, ist die Oberste Leiste (Datei Bearbeiten Objekt etc) der Rest des Screens ist grau. Wenn ich mit der Maus an bestimmte Stellen klicke funktioniert noch alles, ich kann nur nichts außer grau sehen. Auch wenn ich über die obere Leiste eine neue Datei erstellen will, zeigt es mir nur ein graues Fenster an (ich kann also nicht sehen wo ich z.b das Format einstellen kann). Sobald ich dann eine Datei geöffnet habe funktioniert ales wieder und ich sehe alles in der Datei, nur…

  2. Tool palettes don’t stick to the second monitor.

    I use Illustrator in a multi-monitor setup. Tool palettes are on the second screen, while the Document window is on the main monitor.

    Since the Update to macOS Ventura if I wake up the Mac after a sleep (or unlock the screen after I locked it) all the tool palettes jump from their position on the second screen to the main screen.

    This is always reproducible for me on two different machines under macOS Ventura (13.0–13.2.1) and Illustrator 2013 (27.3.1).

  3. Holding Ctrl does not enable Constrain Proportions for artboards

    If I have the Constrain Width and Height Proportions lock button depressed/disabled in the Control panel or for the Artboard tool, committing a change with Ctrl+Enter does not apply the change constrained, as it should do.

    Hitting Ctrl+Enter in Properties panel does not do anything at all. Properties is so broken.

  4. Save As dialog is too large and empty

    When I click save as the window is so large i cannot see the UI. I have checked the settings for the UI size and it is set to small. I also checked with multiple other screen resolutions and nothing could remedy the problem.

    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7560U CPU @ 2.40GHz

  5. Still unable to handle screen magnification in Windows

    When opening Illustrator 2023 on my 4K monitor with a 1080p monitor also attached, in Windows 11, most of the opening dialog is scaled way off the screen. There is no way to drag the window far enough up to get to the Cancel and Close buttons making it virtually impossible to start a new document. This is another example of how poorly illustrator deals with screen magnification and high resolution monitors. Trying to open the window on my 1080p monitor is significantly worse.

  6. Full screen mode does not take up 100% of the screen when the Windows taskbar is hidden

    Hello! In April update of Windows (22621.1413) developers changed automatic taskbar hiding mode, now it is hidden completely, without 1 pixel border. I think that this is a good solution, but some Adobe programs (Illustrator, InDesign) in full screen mode do not open 100% of the screen when the taskbar is hidden, leaving a gap of 1 pixel at the bottom of the screen which shows the desktop wallpaper, and if it is bright and contrasts with the interface of these programs, it looks defiant and it is not good. An application running in full screen mode should take up…

  9. 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…

  10. Persistent Save to cloud dialogue

    I don't want to save to Cloud, but with the 27.2 update I get this dialogue every time I create a new file and then hit 'save' or 'save as'. I clicked 'don't show again' but this option appears in the second dialogue box, not the first, so now I get the 'save to creative cloud' dialogue every time and have to click on 'on your computer' and then wait a few seconds for the 'save as' dialogue.

  11. Bug. Opening a file only opens the file window. Workspace missing (all other info windows)

    Double clicking on my file (when illustrator isn't loaded) opens just the file window. All tools and other windows don't open. I have to manually open a workspace or the individual windows I need. Does anyone else get this?

  12. Selecting multiple links with cmd+click in Illustrator with Wacom Pen is broken.

    I'm using a iMac Retina 5k 2020 with a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    I've noticed that after one of Illustrator's Update, I was not able to select multiple links (cmd+click each link) in the Link Tab with my pen, but when I was using a mouse, there wasn't any problem.

    I was going to blame Wacom, I've had issues with their updates before, but I've reverted to Illustrator 26.0 and it was working perfectly fine. I've updated older versions 1 by 1 to see when it started bugging and it looks like version 26.4 is the culprit and it kept on…

  14. Translation error (German) 2

    There is a translation error in the German version of Illustrator 27.1.1 on Mac OS 10.15.7. The English word "Level" was translated to "Tonwertkorrektur" instead of "Textebenen" in the dialogue for bullet points.

  15. auto scrolling artboard

    2019 IMac 27
    3 ghz 6-core i5
    radeon pro 570x 4 gb graphics
    40 gb 2667 mhz ddr4 ram
    Out of nowhere my artboard began scrolling to the right by itself. When the mouse is off the artboard, it stops. I've tried restarting, saving to a new location, restoring to default, and removing and reinstalling the app. All to no avail.

  17. Panels don’t stay where they were on the second monitor

    Since recent upgrade, NONE of the menu panels stay on screen. I use a second monitor for displaying attribute menus. Every time I now open Illustrator, these have disappeared and have to be reloaded. Very annoying.

  18. Open/Save dialog box hidden

    I have a dual monitor setup, 4K via USB-C, and the built-in display on my MacBook M1 Pro. The Illustrator window is on the top 4K display and the dialog box appears on the lower built-in display. Whenever using the creative cloud window open/save, only the top bar of the dialog box is visible at the very bottom of the built-in display. I have to pull it up in order to see and use it. This does not happen when using the MacOS open/save dialog box.

  20. Missing Files Dialogue keeps re-appearing

    "Some files are missing or modified in the Links panel. Would you like to update them now?"
