  1. Home Screen shows incorrect data at start of month

    At the beginning of a month, the Home Screen reports inaccurate "last modified" dates on recently opened documents. For example, on 1st March, a document last opened on 28th February is reported as having been opened "1 month ago" instead of "1 day ago".

  3. Adobe Illustrator scrolling issue with XP-Pen tablet

    Hi, I am using XP-pen Star 0-3 tablet. My tablet is correctly with other Adobe programs, only in Adobe illustrator it starts working erratically while scrolling.
    I can function normally in Adobe illustrator, however whenever I touch any scrolling bar, entire artboard starts scrolling with movement of mouse.
    I have attached the video for better clarity.
    Please help

  4. Custom/saved workspace doesn't update toolbars the first time

    After I choose a saved workspace, the toolbars don't get updated/repositioned until I choose the saved workspace the second time from the window>workplace menu. In the first attempt, it positions the toolbars somewhat but not properly/fully. Therefore each time I have to go back and choose the saved workspace once more to get everything positioned how it is set.

  7. Slow selection, 2 seconds to appear delimited, object properties and transform

    Hello, I hope you can help me.
    I have a Mac Mini with 16gb of RAM.
    3 days ago I got the following error. When selecting it takes 2 seconds to appear the information of the Properties and transformation of the selected objects as well as the delimiters.
    This causes that when clicking on the object and moving the mouse the object moves, that is if you keep the click pressed.
    Also when trying to select several objects everything moves.
    At my work I have a Mac mini with chip M1 and this does not happen, I uninstalled Illustrator and…

  8. Swatches panel does not remember the size of chips when toggling List / Thumbnails view

    When I choose to display Large Thumbnail View in Swatches panel’s flyout menu, I expect Ai to respect my size choice and remember it, when I use the two buttons in the panel itself to switch List / Thumbnails modes.

    Instead, Illustrator forces it to Small (which can be OK, since I never chose the List to be large) and does not even remember my previous choice when I switch back (which is totally not OK).

    See the GIF, please.

  9. Zoom with Alt+wheel is way too sensitive in new v27.3 to the point of being unusable

    This has just started with the new update to v27.3 using the Alt and the scroll wheel now causes intermittent massive jumps in zoom. Updated all my Logitech software. Running latest everything so reverting to 27.2 as this makes Illustrator unusable. How on earth did this get through any sort of testing?

  12. Le remplissage génératif ne fonctionne pas.

    Lorsque je sélectionne une forme pour un remplissage génératif, cette fonctionnalité n'aboutit pas. Après quelques instants, le curseur de progression n'avance plus et cela peut aller jusqu'au plantage de l'ordinateur.

  14. Pie chart problem with small values

    When I create a pie chart that contains small values along large ones, Illustrator will just delete the small ones.

    These numbers are the original (and the smallest value just disappears):

    25
    12
    5
    4
    3
    2
    58
    17
    1832

    If I change the two smallest values to 5 and 4 it will render these slices.

    25
    12
    5
    4
    5
    4
    58
    17
    1832

    I know it's very small but I do need them to be present.

    When needed I can provide screenshots.

  16. PLEASE FIX SCREEN FLICKERING!!!!

    The screen flickers when you move the cursor—it's driving me insane!
    Switching from GPU to CPU solves the issue but then I lose animated zoom, which sucks!

  17. 長方形を方向キーで変形すると途中から半端な寸法数値になる

    MacOS12.7.3, Adobe Illustrator28.3
    ドキュメント設定の単位、 環境設定の単位→一般・東アジア言語をミリメートル、環境設定の一般→キー入力を0.1 mmに設定。
    長方形を描画し、shift+方向キーの入力(1入力1mmの移動)で幅や高さを拡大または縮小していくと、4〜8回目くらいから中途半端な数値になります。方向キーのみでも何回めかに中途半端な数値になります。
    ずっと整数で変形したいのに困っています。

  18. The windows I last opened are forgotten every boot up. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open windows)

    The windows I last opened are forgotten every bootup. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open the windows it normally opens either. The windows that were opened do not change when switching Workspaces.) I have to open each window manually every bootup.

  19. Dash offset defined by a negative strokeDashOffset value is not respected when a stroke is outlined

    Illustrator has a strokeDashOffset property that sets the indentation of the first stroke in the dashed line.

    It works when specified through the script, but there is no similar field in the interface of dashed line settings, i.e. it looks like a hidden functionality. It’s still legal and it works, but at the same time, a dashed line created with this parameter cannot be outlined correctly using standard Illustrator tools when the value is negative.

    It's a cursed property: it's a pity to ignore it, and it's a shame to use it because of its unreliability.

    Please fix the bug…

  20. Opacity for list objects (bulleted or numbered) lost after closing a file

    When you reduce the opacity of a text object that contains a list - either just a list or a list plus "normal" text, that opacity gets deleted once you have saved the file. It's not even saved into the PDF part of the file.
    If you apply the opacity at the Character level or if you create an additional fill for the text object and then apply reduced opacity, it works.

    Version 28.3
    MacOS Monterey 12.7.1
