  3. An empty document that makes Pathfinder Unite fail and a bounding box to become loose

    I am sending you an empty Illustrator file that leads to Illustrator starts to glitch badly. These are not Illustrator glitches, but a change in Illustrator's behavior due to the open document. But behavior of the App that depends on open document is a bug itself isn't it?

    This document is completely empty. And how can error be reproduced? Below are 2 examples:

    The Unite operation does not work:
    1. Open the document.
    2. Create 2 intersecting rectangles.
    3. Apply Pathfinder / Unite.
    4. The operation is unsuccessful.

    Image rotation does not work:
    1. Open the document.
    2. Import any…

  4. Tracking of the first character shifts the alignment of the next tab stop

    en_US

    When tracking is applied to the first character of a text frame, the alignment of the next tab stop will be shifted from the correct position depending on the amount of tracking.

    Only the tracking of the first character and the next tabstop are affected, not if kerning or akiRight is applied. After the target tab stop, the position will be correct.

    This bug seems to have occurred in Illustrator 2020, as it is not reproduced in Illustrator CC2019(23.1.1).

    Environment

    • macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
    • Illustrator 2020(24.3.0)〜2024(28.5.0)

    Steps to reproduce

    1. Open the attached file trackingtabstop2019.ai in Illustrator 2020 or…

  5. Flash opening & closing of panels! even in older versions and tried multiple installation too!

    UI panels like layer, color, appearance, etc., are expanding & collapsing itself. Looks like flashing panel.
    I tried installing an older version & beta got the same problem—multiple installations, opening/ closing. NOTHING WORKED!

    Due to this, I'm unable to use any AI projects & my client work is getting delayed.

    Maybe it could be my PC problem but I don't get it & Please help.

  6. App crashes right after saving a file

    New v. 29, the King of Crashes
    Steps taken: I restart the app. (ignore the request to restart from the crash manager, somehow, that will cause another crash soon after)
    Crashes usually happen right when the app is done saving a file.
    This is probably the version that crashes most often in a VERY long time of using AI.

  7. Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot

    I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.

    I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.

    I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.

    Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.

  9. 「オーバープリントブラック...」の不具合

    OS/macOS11.6.8
    Illustrator.ver.27.7(以前のバージョンから同様の挙動と考えられます)

    スタイルの当たったテキストをCMYKの黒100でオーバーライドしたものに対して「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとCMYK黒100の部分がスタイルのカラーにフォールバックする。

    再現方法
    1.テキストフレームを用意し塗りに対して明るい色を設定した段落スタイルを適用する。
    2.任意のテキストの塗りに対してCMY各0、K100のCMYKブラックを適用する。
    3.このテキストフレームを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
    4.CMYK黒で指定した部分は塗りに対してオーバープリントが設定されるが塗りがスタイルカラーに戻る。

    期待する結果
    「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用してもスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変わらずオーバープリント属性が設定される。

    実際の結果
    「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用するとスタイルを適用したあとでCMYKブラックをオーバーライドした部分の色が変スタイルカラーに変わってしまう。

    回避方法
    スタイルを適用した部分を黒でオーバーライドする際はCMYKブラックではなくグレースケールのブラックを利用すると回避可能。

    また、スタイルが適用されたあとCMYKブラックをオーバーライドされた部分のあるテキストフレームをスクリプトにてoverprint属性を適用しようとした場合も同様にスタイルカラーに戻ってしまいます。

    回避方法がありますが、CMYKブラックとグレースケールブラックで挙動が異なるのは問題です。オーバープリントブラック処理は最終的に処理を行う場合が多い処理です。意図しない色変化が生じるリスクはできるだけ避けたほうが良いです。早急に改善いただきたいと思います。

  11. CPU Preview Forced when Apple Wide Color images placed

    Bug:
    - Place a linked image into an illustrator file that has a color profile of "Apple Wide Color Sharing Profile"
    - Note that the preview mode switches to "CPU" and you are unable to switch back.
    - Restarting Illustrator has no positive effect.

    Workaround:
    - Change the color profile of the placed image to something else like "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and restart Illustrator.

    Expected Behaviour:
    - Placing an image of any color profile does not change the view mode - - OR - - Illustrator should warn the user that the incoming image contains a color profile that Illustrator will…

  13. Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export

    I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:

    • Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
    • Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
    • Create a new layer, Layer 2
    • Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")
    • Select Layer 1 and Layer 2 in the…

  16. Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping

    When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.

    Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).

  17. Strokes stop working properly.

    Ever since version 28.7.1, after a bit of time, today was less than 2 hours, strokes can no longer can be edited.

    Changing "Align Strokes" changes nothing, stroke size changes nothing. Changing caps changes nothing. This happens to both new and old strokes on both new and old paths/shapes.

    Currently restarting the app seems to work around & reset it, but only for a few hours, then it starts happening again.

    P.S. This is on a Mac

  18. 生成されるグラデーションはグラデーションではない

    2024年前半頃に作成したデータについて解説します。
    グラデーションツールで単色(特色濃度100%)から透明(特色濃度0%)になるグラデーションです。(A参照)黒の矢印で指し示している部分までは均等に濃度100%が入るはずなのですが、データ上でもよく見ると黒の矢印で指し示している位置の前後が濃い色になっているのがわかるでしょうか。このデータを最終、印刷(印刷業者に依頼)まで進めて商品をお客様に納品したところ、納品先の顧客からクレームが入りました。納品された商品を見るとAの写真で示したように黒の矢印周辺が一番色味が濃く出ており(筋が入ったような状態)本来矢印より下の部分も全く同じ色(濃度100%)で出るべきところが薄くなっているんです。(参照B)
    しかも濃度100%より上の部分がすごく汚いムラのあるグラデーションになっています。
    私自身、DTP業界で20年以上仕事をしていますが、年々イラレの品質低下が著しいことを恐らく長年愛用されている方ほどお気づきかと思います。
    20年程前もグラデーションツールで作成したグラデーションをフィルム印刷するとグラデーションの段階がまるで階段のように縞々にでたことを思い出しますが、その解決方法として使用していたのがブレンドツールという強い味方。ステップ数を細かすぎるというくらいに細かい設定にすることでスムースなグラデーションを再現できます。
    が、しかし。
    今回の件で次回の印刷に向けて解決策を講じようとブレンドツールで同じグラデーションを作成したものの、いくらステップ数を増やそうとも、なめらかなグラデーションにならないのです。(C参照)
    そしてcの画像を見て観察眼の鋭い方ならお気づきかと思いますが、
    テップ数50のところを見て気づきませんか。一段一段のステップがグラデーション表現されており、そのグラデーションがまさに上に向かってゆくにつれて濃く表現されていることを。
    本来であればもちろん一段一段のステップが同じ均一の色味になるので絶対にこういう表現になるはずがないですよね。
    グラデーション表現の不具合と同じことが、このブレンドツールに於いても起こっています。

    今回実際に商品としてお客様に納品しており、このグラデーションの不具合が原因で金銭的損失を被りました。
    グラデーションツールに問題があった時の回避策としてブレンドツールを使っていたのに、それも使い物にならないとなったら、この手のデザインは使えなくなります。
    深刻に受け止めていただきたいですし、細部にまで注意を払って改善していただきたいです。

  19. Pen Tool Randomly Deactivating Briefly (a LOT)

    Just updated to CC 2025 and have been introduced a bug where the pen tool now randomly deactivates for a split second and begins a new path. I've tried rebooting the suite, closing all other programs, but the issue is persistent. It happens so often I just clocked it at around 3-4x per minute. Insanely frustrating and making things take far longer than they should.

    I'm running on a brand new M3 MacBook Air, not a complex file at all either.

  20. Contextual alternates don’t work for Cyrillic letters with Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers

    While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.

    Take a look at the GIF attached.
