  3. Lag before you can edit a document name during "save as."

    There's now a lag of a second or two before you can edit a title when you "save as" a document. It's super annoying if you have to resave multiple files.

  4. Opening a v.24 file with v.25.2 illustrator doesn't work properly.

    I have to go ''file'' then ''open'' and after a long period of time (way longer than usual) it opens the files. If I click directly on file icon: it says corrupted file.

  5. Gradient colour not following path of curved line

    When I go to colour the gradient after applying it to a thicker curved line a new shape is made and takes the colour and gradient that I chose. This shape appears to be connected by the same anchors as the curve but is just a straight line.

  6. Bug: Shift + clicking anchor point with Delete Anchor Point tool doesn't retain curve shape

    24.1.1 on Windows 10 and Mac Mojave

    In CC 2020, Shift + clicking an anchor point with the Delete Anchor Point tool is supposed to work like the Simplify Path tool -- the shape of the curve shouldn't change. But even on a path with redundant anchors, this new shortcut doesn't work. The curve changes shape as in previous versions.

  7. Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to version 2 ICC profiles.

    I get this message:
    "Version 4 ICC profiles were converted to version 2 ICC profiles."
    whenever I save a PDF when using the GRACoL_CRPC6.icc profile. I get it regardless of whether an image has been placed in the document or not.

    It is very inconvenient to have to click to dismiss this message every time I make a PDF, which over the course of job will amount to 100s of times. Also it means our automation of PDF making is interrupted and requires an operator to pay attention the whole time.

    Thanks
    Dave

  8. Appearance and coloring issues

    Appearance of grouped elements is having the old issue on appearance, that individual color properties of the elements are visible on the grouped elements, so making coloring a troublesome stuff.

  10. Illustrator 2020 24.3 Extremely slow performance and lagging on Windows 10

    Extremely slow performance and lagging making Illustrator unusable under win 10 pro. Massive lag (sometimes 10 sec) when moving, selecting, objects or zooming, sometimes when selecting tools.

    I had v23.4 installed on the same machine with Win 7 a week ago and had no issues. New install of Windows 10 with the same version of illustrator is unusable even though my machine spec is above requirements and has no other issues.

    I've installed the previous version of illustrator to test but had the same performance issues.

    All drivers updated, and ran through performance troubleshooting in adobe support pages.

    Win 10…

  11. Illustrator could only partially read this file

    When I load the first attached file in 24.0.1 (with Windows 10) it loads OK and I can edit it. When I save it and try to reload it in 24.0.1 it says Illustrator could only partially read this file. That's awful when Illustrator cannot read a file it has just saved.

    The layers (and sublayers) under ALL > WATERWAYS > A-B beginning with A have all gone missing when it reads in what it can. Other parts may be missing too.

    It works fine in 23.1. and I have had to revert to using that.

  12. CC 2021 freezing on or right after start after working just fine for 3 weeks

    Hello,
    I worked for 3 weeks just fine with PS, AI and InDesign (all CC 2021) and then one evening the applications won't open again. They are freezing when starting up or crashing right after the start. I have changed nothing on my system, have installed no new software or anything I could imagine causing this behavior. Looking for help I browsed the internet and found that for many people only reinstalling the CC2020 applications helped. So I did that because I had work to finish. I think Adobe is not doing enough to help those many designers who report…

    Workspace is not showing up and automatically defaults to the "tracing" workspace when I try to change the workspace at all. Illustrator 2021 on windows is up to date.

  18. Print settings not saving with document

    In the old versions of Illustrator, the print settings, including the lpi/resolution settings, would be saved with the document. For several versions now, however, the lpi/resolution settings are not being saved and just get changed to the default settings every time I go to print.

  20. Title tag in Illustrator Editable PDF is not updating on save with "Press Ready" setting

    I notice this when I open the Illustrator pdf in Google Chrome, it is using a title tag within the pdf to display the title. If I save the file as pdf with the preset "Press Ready" as is optimal for preparing print files with linked bitmaps, this tag is not being updated and chrome displays the original title. Often I will make files from other files as templates and it will show the name of the original file, which is confusing for clients who see sometimes another company's name in their file name. When I save with the "Illustrator…
