Vector shapes look distorted
If I am working on a graphic made up of many different shapes, the individual shapes will start to appear as distorted in shape and color, especially if I start altering the pattern or moving shapes around, then the whole graphic just starts to randomly distort certain shapes. Making it really difficult to focus on creating a pattern or image.

compound path mask bug
When a compound path serves as a mask AND has it's own color, objects inside it can not be selected with the Direct Selection-tool. Instead, the mask itself is selected. This is different from single-path masks, where objects inside can be selected with the Direct Selection-tool (even when the mask has it's own color).
In attached file, both masks contain the same purple rectangle. In the 'g' (a compound path), the rectangle cannot be selected with the Direct Selection tool. In the 'K', it can. Both masks are colored.

Unable to assign CMD+Z to Undo tool
I am using Illustrator CC 2018 22.0.1 for Mac (High Sierra 10.13.2) and I am having trouble assigning CMD + Z to my "Undo" tool. After my last update, I had lost nearly all of the default keyboard shortcuts (I had never customized them before so I assume they were the defaults) like cmd + s = save, cmd + c = copy, cmd + v = paste, etc. which was really frustrating to always have to go to the menu bars to do small actions. However, I have since gone in manually and reinstated the old shortcuts, but for…

Zero X and Y coordinates don’t match the artboard
when making a file exact art size. Trying to snap to my
X=0
Y=0the Transform pallet says i'm at 0 & 0 but clearly i am not and once i click off everything then re-select everything again i can make it 0&0. I am in a pre-press production setting and this slows down my whole process. Also the Align to Artboard selection is a huge problem.

Properties doesn’t show alignment options for live shapes
In the new Properties panel if you select a custom shape you get the alignment options, including the option to switch between "Align on artboard" and "Align on selection".
If you select an live shape e.g. a circle, you don’t get these options in the Properties panel and you also have no option in the Align panel window to select if you want to align on artboard or selection.The Properties panel should have the possibility to align all elements, shapes and so on.
Also as a backup you should include the possibility to align on artboard and align on…4 votes -
Text Boxes won't Scale or Flip
IllustratorCC 22.0.1 running under OSX 10.12.6
Select text box and either attempt to flip (Reflect tool using vertical axis) or scale using the Scale tool. Scale fails both dragging to scale, or double-clicking the Scale tool and inputting numeric scale value.
Text box scales or flips horizontal, as in all previous versions of AI.
Error message reading: "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large."

Stroke weight reverts to previous scale when embedding after rotating a graphic.
AI CC 22.1
I had an linked .pdf at 10% scale, which I rotated 90 degrees, then scaled up by 1000%, then I embedded the file. The strokes in the artwork reverted back to 10% size. If I repeat the procedure, but do not rotate the file first, then the stoke retains the enlarged size.

Artifacts that shouldn't be there
I've noticed that sometimes there will remain some random artefacts of after deleting anchors that are ordered in lines or curves around each other.
It will remain there, can't be selected, and even if the rest of the original form is removed, it still remain.
It is not shown after rendering the image though.
It occurs sometimes, and could be disturbing.Latest in CC 2018-01

Can’t select tools in tool groups, no dropdowns appear
When trying to select a tool underneath the main tool, nothing happens. Tools with arrows to select further will not "drop down" so i can select a different tool. So when trying to select the smooth tool from the sharper tool, it doesnt do anything whether i highlight over it or click and hold.

CC 2018: Objects on top of textframes are no longer selectable
I made a clear video to illustrate this (annoying) bug.
My colleague has not yet updated Illustrator and is using the latest 2017 version.
I have updated to 2018.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1bUmXCcssg
In the video you see:
- On notebook 1: I created a textfield with rectangle on top. I can select the textframe and the rectangle on top easily. They are on the same layer.
- On notebook 2: I did the exact same, but it has become impossible to select the rectangle.I cannot imagine this is done on purpose.
I understand that I would not be able to select…4 votesWe have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 23.0.
