Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance
When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.
The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time…

Imported objects loosing color from brush and swatch
objects imported into another illustrator file loose their colors in both preview and swatches. We build items we produce by bring in standard objects that represent items we use over and over. Since the upgrade to 25.3.1, when we import those objects, the color is removed, does not happen in 25.2.3.

Undo after unlocking a layer makes the saved file marked as unsaved
If you open a file and make a change, the file name shows an asterisk in the document’s tab to indicate this. If you then immediately Undo the change, the asterisk disappears — makes sense, the file is back to its original state.
But this doesn't work if you lock or unlock a layer and then Undo! The asterisk remains in place.
Thanks to John Goodman for reporting this.

Single click on a radial gradient with gradient tool does nothing...
When using the gradient tool on a radial gradient, a single-click should move the center of the gradient to the click location. This only works if the gradient annotator is turned on, otherwise nothing happens. See attached video.

Illustrator free transform bug.
When I go to use free transform and I want to resize an object, it switches to rotate instead of resize.
Compounding this I can be near the object but not close to the transform anchors and it will still register me as click the transform anchor.
Frustrating as .

Close file when saving as a .PDF
Close file when saving as a .PDF
This has been a HUGE problem since you guys changed the way Illustrator handles file saves.
When you Save As... and save as .pdf the .pdf file remains open and editable. Which if you are in a fast paced environment and forget to close that 'New' file, you are editing a PDF and when you close it out and try to reopen you are now faced with a non-editable Illustrator file (especially if you unselect illustrator compatiblity).I have lost DAYS of work doing that one simple task, just so I could email…

Selecting & deselecting objects is buggy too
While working in a file:
Attempting to select more than one object at a time to move them simultaneously works, but then I cannot deselect the objects by clicking the art board as in all previous versions of Illustrator.
I have to click on each object at a time to deselect them. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough that it becomes an issue with work efficiency.3 votes -
Save dialog fails if you start typing file name before window is shown
When I press the ⌘+S shortcut and start typing the file name before the save dialog box shows up, I get a "The save file operation failed." error.
This is on version 25.4.1 on macOS Big Sur 11.4 on an M1 Macbook Air.
This has been an error for a long time, if not indeed for several years.

crashes opening .ai files
AI worked fine on Saturday (25 Sep), today the same files crash the program. Update over the weekend? Can AI stop pushing updates that turn the program into a brick? In Alaska, we don't have unlimited bandwidth, we have to pay everytime I am forced to uninstall and redownload/re-install adobe programs for BAD updates. Why do we pay you to be in a constant beta?

Optical kerning changes when opening AI file in Illustrator 2021
Opened an AI file created April 2021 (using Optical kerning) to make changes. Kerning looks ok when I first open the file, but when I click on the text, the kerning changes significantly.
The font used is Georgia. Mac OS 10.15.7. Illustrator 2021 25.3.1. I had to open the file in Illustrator 2020 and copy the kerning values between the letters. I then opened the file in Illustrator 2021, changed from Optical to Metric and entered the kerning values from the Illustrator 2020 file.4 votes -
Select strokes by clicking anywhere on their stroke, no just the 'path' central part.
It gets tedious really quick having to always be accurate and select the invisible central 'path' of a stroke - why not allow us to select a stoke by clicking on any part of it, of it's pixels rendered on the screen. Like Freehand by macromedia used to allow. Just add it as an option in preferences.
So if you have a Red 20px thick stroke, you can select it by clicking on any of the red stroke as rendered on screen, rather than having to slow down time and space to be super accurate and guess where that central…

筆圧にてブラシの線幅設定をした線をコピペして、コピペ先のブラシを基本に設定すると、コピペ元の線幅設定が消える
[現状]
①ペンタブレット筆圧感知にて、ブラシに線幅設定(線の入り抜き)を持たせながら描きます。
②ライブペイントを使用する為、線をコピー&ペースト。(背面以外の場所でも再現性あり)
③コピー先の線を、ブラシ”基本”にすると、コピー元の線幅情報が消えます。(入り抜き無しの一定の線になります)[想定していた結果]
コピペ先の線の設定を変更しても、コピペ元には影響されない。CS6と同様の動作。[環境]win10、Adobe Illustrator 2021 25.4.1、Wacom One
1 voteIllustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。
最新リリースバージョン「ver.26.2.1」にて、ペンタブレットの筆圧感知に関する問題が修正されていますので、お時間のある時に挙動の確認をしていただき、問題があるようでしたら、ご報告くださいますようよろしくお願いいたします。

Ugly edges when using clipping mask or stacking objects with the exact same shape
Whenever stacked objects have the exact same shape, or when using a clipping mask, the colors from the objects below will be visible around the edge of the upper object. See screenshot.
This will probably not show when you print, but it does show when you rasterize a vector image. The screenshot is from a rasterized .ai image opened in Photoshop. So it's not just a preview bug in Illustrator.
And it's quite disturbing to see these ugly edges when work on your illustration.

Rotated Artboard
BUG: Some how the artboard is rotated and unable to keep it straight. The entire document is rotated and it is difficult to work that way. Can this be fixed ASAP?
Mac OS: 11.4 (20F71)
Illustrator Version 25.3.12 votesIllustrator can rotate the view. Perhaps you accidentally did that with adding Shift while panning with Space held?
It can be reset with the field in the bottom left corner, next to Zoom level, or with the View > Reset Rotate View command.
You can read more about rotating the view here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/rotate-view.html

3d-Kreisel Darstellung und Renderfehler | 3d rotate render error
3d renderings are perse buggy (see PDF) create invisible geometries (although switched off), render errors on the assembly line.
The preview is miserable. I can't explain this to any customer, nor can I expect them to! In part, AI files were invited to be transparent in places where they shouldn't be.
I have been using Illustator since 1990 and there is no other program that is as buggy and impractical as Illustrator. Fast is different.
