Circle with thin stroke aligned inside has artifacts in GPU Preview
I’ve noticed that when I draw a circle with a diameter of 250 mm and a stroke thickness of 0.25 pt, with the stroke alignment set to inside, and then draw another circle with the same stroke thickness but a diameter of 230 mm, the smaller circle shows irregularities in the stroke line (see images).
When the stroke alignment is set to center, however, the circle is displayed correctly.
This issue isn’t serious, I just noticed it while working.2 votes -
A temporary file is generated every time you save 保存する度にテンポラリーファイルが生成されて
保存する度にテンポラリーファイルも同時に生成されて、都度削除するのが面倒なのでなんとかして欲しい。（Ver.29.8.2）

Toggle Visibility Not Working in Layers Panel
Windows 11 desktop, 12 GB graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Intel processor with 3.60 GHz, 64 Bit x64-based processor
29.7.1 (64 bit)
I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.
My document is saved to the cloud - I did get an autosave is temporarily disabled warning and…

Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

Only Object Outlines visible
I was creating a figure for research and suddenly, only the outlines were visible. I am not sure if this is a rendering issue or if I am in a different viewing mode. Help is appreciated.

Exclusive to Mac Version: Lines Appear in PDF/x-4 Files, Not Present in Windows Version
When placing a compatible PSD file (*1) into an AI document and exporting it as PDF/x-4, there has long been a bug where black lines appear on the edges of transparent areas. This issue has been fixed in the Windows version, but it remains unresolved in the Mac version, even in version 2024.
The issue does not occur in the Windows version, even with the same version of Illustrator. It only happens on the Mac version.
It occurs whether the PSD is linked or embedded.
Even if an AI file is created on Windows and has no problems in the…125 votes -

Scroll wheel crash
Logitech MX Master 2S mouse scroll wheel has stopped functioning in latest versions of AI. Currently hanging and crashing.
Latest Windows, Latest AI. Latest nvidia driver.
Asuswrx90, AMD7965, 256 QVL RAM, 5090Founders, Samsung 9100 m2 OS/CACHE/Storage drives
Expected: smooth scroll
Actual: App hangs for 2 seconds.
GPU accelleration settings on or off make no difference.
I suspect it is a logitech driver issue but a basic bit of mouse functionality in very very common hardware should not be happening.1 vote -
Image in clipping mask moves when I open the file in Acrobat or Preview
Illustrator 29.8.2 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
I have images in clipping masks. When I open the .ai document in Adobe Acrobat or Preview, the images have moved.
The workaround I have for now is to print to .ps to generate a .pdf.(I just updated Illustrator but it happened yesterday too before the update with another file)

Smart Objects not updating correctly due to Optimized Save Illustrator 30
I have been running into an issue since updating to Illustrator 30. After a fair amount of observation, I believe it is coming from this enhancement as listed in the Illustrator 30 release notes: "Save complex edits in your artwork faster, as Illustrator now only saves the changes you make, not the entire document each time".
Since the update to Illustrator 30, when I edit and save relatively complex vector smart objects that are embedded or linked in Photoshop, the objects have begun to appear incorrectly in Photoshop (I'm also using the latest version of Photoshop, up to date on…
2 votesThis issue is reportedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.3.126 build.
Kindly update (or install) to verify the fix making it behave as expected, to allow the team to safely push it into the next general build.
If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

freedom gradient works only on half of the object if it has a clipping mask
When applying a Freeform Gradient to an object that uses a clipping mask, the gradient is rendered only on part of the visible area instead of the entire clipped object. The remaining portion of the object appears unaffected by the gradient, as if the gradient calculation were limited to only a section of the underlying geometry.

Centre Points of all objects are visible when I reopen files
Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
Each time I reopen a file in which I had a mix of objects with either visible or hidden centre points, most of these are visible (at least, those of paths, guides…) and they can get in the way.
I think this started happening with the new version 30.0 (or maybe just the one before).
Here are examples of 2 similar files, one with and one without all Centre Points showing.
3 votesThe team tried to fix this in Beta 30.1.0.109. The latest one is 30.2.0.12.
If you can — please try to use Beta and see if no centers will be enabled or disabled when reopening a file. The fix won’t remove those that are already in a document, so we need to to toggle them manually in the Attributes panel.

Spot swatch color is not saved correctly when changing the color of an existing swatch
Details of your operating system: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (10.0.19045 Build 19045)
The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0
The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:

Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes
Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.
4 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

PDF with negative values for BleedBox, MediaBox shows incorrectly
A PDF with negative values for the lower left corner of BleedBox, MediaBox and a TrimBox that has its lower left corner at (0,0) shows differently in Illustrator and Acrobat. Acrobat (and other PDF viewers) show the contents as expected, in Illustrator the content seems shifted.
The attached example PDF has three different pages, the first two pages look as expected, the last page (with the negative values) does not look the same in Illustrator and Acrobat.
For a more in-depth discussion, see https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/issues/2685

Objects on Path tool caushes instant crash
Using a mac mini and v. 30.1 of Illustrator. every single time I use the Objects on Path tool illustrator crashes instantly. It wasn't doing this a couple of days ago. I thought it was because of a new script I downloaded but even after removing it I still have the same issue.
