  2. Clipping Mask gets rendered wrong

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
    Just recently install the macOS Monterey
    Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022

    The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
    It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.

    It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
    But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.

    I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most…

  3. Pink screen and residual image artifacts

    The pink screen flash is back for me in 26.03 when opening files, but now I have the added bonus of image shrapnel being left everywhere (image attached).

    Mac mini M1. Happens with both MacOS 12.1 and 12.2 beta (release candidate).

  4. Toggling Layer Visibility Causes Hang

    Toggling layer visibility seems to be increasingly difficult for my latest release of the standard Illustrator build. I just tried a complete uninstall/reinstall, and the problem persists. Once I toggle layers on/off without any other active layer visible I get the Mac beach ball/spinning wheel. If I add a blank placeholder layer I have no issues toggling as shown below. This is the current release of Illustrator. I can share one of these files to see if it is setting related or cannot be reproduced, but I had this same issue on a much higher spec’d out PC than my…

  7. Illustrator 25.4.1 Generating constant 105MB log files into com.adobe.dunamis folder and filling up hard drive

    When I am working in Illustrator, my fan starts to run and Illustrator generates multiple log files per minute in the com.adobe.dunamis folder. Each log file is roughly 105MB and before I was able to pinpoint what was going on, it filled my hard drive with 750GB of log files. If I close Illustrator and reopen it, it stops for awhile but I haven't been able to pinpoint what triggers the start of the log file generation – it isn't consistently doing it, but it does occur multiple times per day.

  8. Circular Text Rotation different on newest update.

    Opening a file with perfectly centered text on a circle is now off center. Live rotating seems to make the text hop around the circle not conforming to the rotation.

  9. Stroke thickness resets when adjusting gradient direction.

    Combination of two Categories: Strokes and Gradients.

    Evidence: https://youtu.be/_w8UG_fvm1I
    Disclaimer regarding evidence: The canvas is rotated by 60 degrees, due to the project I am working on.

    When I adjust the gradient direction (by pressing G on my keyboard), pressing & dragging in the paint-group would reset the thickness of the strokes that are involved in the paint-group. Hence not allowing the thickness of the strokes to stay constant, hence disturbing the preview of gradient.

  10. CC Library to Illustrator Swatch: Name Length Bug Creates Magenta Spot Color

    When adding a Color Swatch to Illustrator from the CC Library:

    If the CC Library item's name is over a certain number of characters, Illustrator cannot import the swatch correctly.

    Instead, Illustrator imports the CC Library color as a Magenta Spot Color.

    The only workaround currently is to shorten the CC Library item's name to match the maximum allowed characters for an Illustrator Swatch, and then import the color.

    FIX: Allow more characters for Illustrator Swatch names to be compatible with with CC Library character length for items.

  12. カラーコード入力で色を変えると戻れない

    Illustrator 26.2.1
    windows10 21h1

    カラーモードRGBでカラーパネルもRGBでの作業で、カラーコード(#と6桁)を打ち込んで色を変え、前の色に戻したいなとctrl+z(取り消し)を押すと挙動がおかしいです。
    まったく戻らなかったり、カラーコードを打ち込む前の操作に戻ったりします。

    コミュニティに投稿し、再現されている方がいるのでバグだと思います。

    ご対応のほどよろしくお願い致します。

  13. AIT file does not open as a new AI file when opening from One Drive.

    I updated to Adobe Illustrator V26.0.3 today. And now AIT file opens as AIT file.

    It should open as a new AI file when opening from AIT file since it is a template.

    FYI, I am using MacBook Pro M1 2020, and MacOS Motley V.12.1.

    Doen anyone getting the same problem?

    ---Additional Comment---

    After testing, I found out that this is happening when I open an AIT file from my One Drive folder.

    When I copied AIT file on my desktop, then it opened as a new AI file as it was used be.

    For more details, I am using…

  14. Bulleted text became outlined without performing "Create Outlines" action

    I found my text with added new bullet function became outlined text and cannot be edited anymore through type after closing and reopening the AI file.

    I have to retype the text, thus I am guessing that the bullet function may have triggered this because the rest of my text without bullet in that same file is still editable. Please help rectify. Attached two images of the outcome.

  16. Illustrator crash and spikes GPU (3080ti) requesting more VRAM than usual error code 6 with pid=263

    Hello,
    Details of your operating system: Windows 11 Pro Version 10.0.22000
    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop) : 26.5
    I work with high-amount data content and AI keeps crashing randomly, on a stable high end station with 12900k, 32GB of RAM and a 3080ti. 

    To reproduce the issue:

    I work with these rather heavier files up to a point
    the whole PC stalls and freezes, (inclusively desktop and any app), mouse can't be moved, no input can be taken.
    After a few seconds or 1+ minute, i hear the sound stuttering (if i was playing music during the crash)
    then…

  17. Bounding box does not get updated when 'Use Preview Bounds' is toggled

    1. Create a circle.
    2. Apply a large Outside stroke to it
    3. Make sure you have bounding box turned on in View menu
    4. Open Preferences using menu (not a Ctrl+K hotkey, this is important)
    5. Toggle Use Preview Bounds option, commit changes

    The bounding box does not get updated. To force to to become larger/smaller (it depends on you initial state of it), you have to click/move the shape, to force it to redraw.

    However, if you call Preferences via a hotkey, Ctrl+K, the brief moment you hold Ctrl is enough to toggle the selection tool to Direct Selection, which makes Ai hide…

  18. text tool is slanted by default and cannot be fixed

    (Using MACOS Ventura 13.0 on Macbook Air with M1 Chip.) This issue is both on PS and AI 2023.. When I use the text tool, the text appears slanted and cannot be set to the correct angle. Does anyone have thoughts on this? This was also happening on PS/AI 2022. See screen recording for visual.

  20. Font Height Options misbehave with rounded fonts

    Recently I started to notice that some of the fonts I use make wrong result when x-height or cap-height is used to set a font size.

    I clearly see that the height is of, by eye and the underlying grid, but Character palette says otherwise. I outline the font, I measure glyphs and I get smaller dimensions.

    Take a look at the file and the picture attached.

    When fonts with straight terminals are used, everything is fine. Visual dimensions match metrics precisely.

    But when a font with rounded terminals is used, like two examples at the bottom, things go weird.
