Can’t select an object under a locked object
I'd like to be able to work on an area that is under a locked layer.
Currently I can't select anything that is under it. Selection tools just want to select the object on top that it ain't allowed to select... Can't it ignore it? It is locked.Maybe there is a paramaeter somewhere about it, but I didn't find it so far.
Example of use : You have a reference image/object that you put on top with multiply or darken mode and some transparency.
You could say put it under your working layer and ask you working layer to…8 votesThis most probably happens because of the 'Select and Unlock objects on canvas' option being enabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section.
It allows to 'select' and unlock all or chosen objects directly on canvas. If you wish to have this option split into two — one for unlock widgets and one for having an ability to 'select' locked objects — please upvote a corresponding feature request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48753221

When revealing a link in Finder/Explorer Illustrator opens the folder but doesn’t select the file, unlike InDesign does
Unlike InDesign, this function does go to the folder, but it doesn't select the file.
I assume this is a bug and not how Adobe intends it to work??
I don't buy the idea that "I really doubt Illustrator can SELECT the file in the Finder / Explorer... I bet it’s something outside of its capabilities and both OS don’t really offer an integration like this".
Why is it that InDesign can do this if there's some inherent thing blocking this functionality?

Unavailable fonts in Illustrator vs Acrobat Reader
When I open a document with a missing font, Illustrator keeps displaying the correct font. However, when I open the same document without any changes in Acrobat Reader, the font changes to the default font. Is this normal? Or do I have to worry about converting to curves first?

Color swatches are completely missing from the Swatches panel
Recently when I open an AI file, the color swatches vanish. I have to add a new swatch to get them to reappear, only to have the disappear again when I start working with the file. I've tried multiple files and it happens to every file I open. This is a new phenomenon I'm experiencing with the latest version 29.7.1.

Objects dragged from Photoshop and placed in Illustrator keep disappearing in PDF
Working on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1 and using AI 29.7.1
In an Illustrator document where I've dragged and dropped smart objects form Photoshop, sometimes (but not always) these smart objects disappear from the Illustrator doc when exporting to a PDF, but are still visible in the Ai doc. Usually the issue is fixed by re-exporting the PDF, but of course, I'd like it not to happen in the first place. I don't want these objects disappearing on me :) Thanks for looking into this!

I can't Knockout in a clip mask
After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.
① [p1]Establish a clipping mask group, :verificaciónenun_recuadro: Knockout;
② [p2]Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have knockout effect.
[p3]But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.
[p4]But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal.
This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same time,…

Bullets/Numbering indents don't scale with type objects
The Indent/First line indent values set in bullets and numbering options don't scale with type objects.
Normal paragraph indents do scale as expected, so I think this is an oversight or bug.
Examples:
1. Area type with text at 12pt, numbering options have an 18pt left indent and -18pt first line indent.
2. Same object scaled 150% -- type is now 18pt, indents have not changed, meaning left indents for double figures have been forced to the next tab.
3. Paragraph without bullets/numbers, 12pt, left indent 18pt, first line indent -18pt.
4. Same object scaled 150%, type is now 18pt,…4 votes -
