Slanted instances are not properly sorted
When a variable font has ***** axis and right leaning instances (common oblique styles) the Oblique instances gets sorted before the Romans on the font menu dropdown. See attachment.
According to the OT spec, right leaning instances must use negative values, so I‘m guessing Adobe’s font menu is sorting instances by slnt coordinates in ascending direction when it should be in the other direction.
This is not only bad and uncommon for users but is also pushing font developers to make fonts against the spec just to circunvent this situation. Plase fix.
Note. All the fonts tested have proper STAT…

Can't copy, paste or delete data on graph tool
Illustrator has a very old and annoying bug when using the graph tool: from times to times you can't copy, paste or delete data. Sometimes the keyboard shortcuts stops working and you need to use the menu (slower workflow). But sometimes even the menu doesn't work. Then you need to quit Illustrator and even restart the Mac.
It doesn't matter which OS ou Ai version you have installed. As I said, it has been behaving like that for years.
Please fix it.

Using a # in layer name and saving as SVG does not properly save layer names
In the newest Adobe Illustrator version 28.4.1 when naming a layer with the # and saving as an SVG the export file when opened does not include the # in the layer name. This has never been an issue in previous illustrator versions, and for the work I do I rely on that naming convention to work with the system we integrate SVGs with. I've had to downgrade to a previous version where this does not occur.

All Text is not visible and Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large issue.
I opened a project I was working on last week this morning and encountered this issue. All my text is not visible and I cannot move any text boxes without an error message coming up stating: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large. I tried all the other solutions listed that could be found on Google and this forum. It happens for every project I open. I attached images of what I see and the error message.

Not Working: Select objects completely inside the marquee
Today’s 28.3 release (non-beta) touts the “Select objects completely inside the marquee” feature. Unfortunately, it’s not working here in macOS 14.3.1 (23D60).
Whether the E key is used or not, all objects are selected even in the case of an object not being fully enclosed in the selection area. And unfortunately, using the E key switches the current tool to the Free Transform tool, away from the Direct Selection tool which is counterproductive :(
1 voteEnclosed mode is the first mode in Ai to use a single tap of a button instead of holding one. 'E' key should be pressed once you start dragging the marquee, during drag operation.

Center of rotation changes position after rotating with a dialog
Trying to rotate a path from a custom rotation location by entering the rotation as a value, not manually.
I'd expect that you can rotate from any given position by entering rotational values. As it is, your selected rotation position will instead default to center.
When you select a custom position to rotate a shape from, it only works if you manually rotate the object. You can't select a custom position and then type in a rotational value via enter or double-clicking on the rotate tool.

Blend in CMYK color mode and GPU preview = MOIRE
In CMYK mode the blend option looks really terrible with GPU preview. With these settings the Blend hets a jaggy moire effect.
Tested in different color modes with CPU and GPU preview. Only CMYK on GPU produces this nasty screen effect, see screenshots. I work mostyl in CMYK mode so I hope this can be fixed rapidly.

Selection Tool Stops Functioning
The selection tool stops functioning when Illustrator has been open for a while. It will work as expected and then it will stop functioning, either not allowing me to select an object or group at all, or it will allow the select but then nothing happens when you try to click on a corner of an object to either move it or resize it. Opening and closing the file does no good. I have to close Illustrator and re-open it and the tool will start functioning again. It seems like a memory issue.

The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in
The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in Chinese, making it very difficult to distinguish.
The red part does not follow the operating system font, and the blue part correctly follows the operating system font. In Chinese Windows, the default font of the operating system is "Microsoft Yahei"
3 votesThe issue seems to be fixed in the latest builds.
Please check it and reply back if it’s still broken.

Menu items missing
I guess this is a bug, but a lot of items are missing from the menus on my Illustrator. The ones I notice most are Window and Object, I'm not sure if stuff is missing from the other menus as well. I have everything up to date, and I'm on Windows 11, version 23H2.

特定のデータで印刷ができない
あるデータで印刷をするとメーターが100％で止まってしまい、印刷ができません。
しばらく待ってもプリンターが反応せず困っております。（プリンターダイヤログにも表示されません。）これ以外のデータは正常に印刷可能です。
キャンセルを押すとフリーズしている様子もなく、普通に印刷キャンセルされます。
新規ドキュメントを作成し、コピー貼り付けしてみましたが、それも同じ症状です。データ自体は他に比べ極端に重いデータでもなさそうです。（41956KB）
また、他のPC環境でも試しましたがどのPCを使っても同じ症状で、
そのデータの中の一部パスデータをラスタライズしたり、データ自体をPDF化すると印刷が可能でした。
出来ればPDF化などせずに印刷をしたいです。
何か解決方法がございましたらご教示をお願いいたします。＜環境＞

Center points vanish at a certain level of magnification
Above a certain level of magnification, the object's center point vanishes, which is an issue if that's what you are trying to zoom-in on.
This seems mostly to happen in artwork mode.

Name artboard is not added to the file name when exporting (JPG or PNG, etc.)
When executing the command "File > Export As" and exporting, for example, to JPG, the name artboard 3 "preview" is not automatically added to the file name. Everything was fine in the previous version (26.3.1) of Illustrator.
96 votesThis is fixed in 27.1.0 build 2.
The suffix checkbox was added into the Export As dialog to toggle on/off the functionality.
If it doesn’t work for you today in the latest build — please make a comment.

Add an option for the Transform effect to use visible bounds of a clipping object
Transform effect is one of the most powerful thing Ai has, compared to whole Repeats functionality. It’s versatile, it works with anything (unlike Repeats).
It has some flaws though, and one of them is the fact it always operates on the overall bounds of the objects, even if it is clipped. It can be useful for some cases, but most of the time we treat objects differently.
Check the image attached.
This combination of effect options applied to a clipped ellipse should produce a result like the green one at thee right... instead, the object is reflected from the right…15 votes
