Embedding linked EPS files in an over-sized artboard cause them to shrink to 10% and movesWhen using an over-sized artboard, when I embed a linked .EPS - the .eps is scaled down to 10% of the original size AND it is moved to a seemingly random location on the artboard. This only happens with .EPS files. .AI and bitmap files are fine - they stay in the correct location and correct size. 2 votes

Eyedropper DOES NOT CONSIDER COLOR EXCLUSION for TEXTS MULTICOLOREyedropper tool between two text boxes with mixed color letters. How to copy ONLY text attributes leaving the colors unchanged. 
 Even by deselecting fill color and stroke color in the eyedropper detection and eyedropper application boxes, the color of the destination text becomes unique depending on which is pressed as the source and the letters do not remain colored differently.
 Please resolve!2 votes

Bug - Blank WorkspaceWhen I open an AI file there seems to be a 80/20 chance that it will not display properly. As the file is opening I can see everything but the moment it's fully loaded the workspace goes completely blank (gray without an artboard). I can still see toolbars and can move around the workspace. I can even select all and delete unseen assets but I can't draw new ones. I have to close and reopen the file multiple times until it happens to show up. I've already tried: 
 • Resetting Preferences
 • Uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator
 • Renaming the UXP/other…1 vote

Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjustedThis issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it. This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023. If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character… 2 votes

Windows 11 enhance pointer precisionIf Windows 11 mouse setting "enhance pointer precision" is off, then Smart Guides and Snapping will not work in Adobe Illustrator v28. 
 Turning it back on will "fix" the Smart Guides/Snapping, but it'd be nice if we could turn this off and still have Illustrator do what Illustrator should do.2 votes

Outline Mode Breaks display when toggling in and out of it.I found that when I go into outline mode and then toggle the layers off of it it breaks my display a little bit. It fixes itself if I just undo the toggling and then Cmd Y to turn it off that way but it'd be nice not having to do that. 1 vote

Pressing Backspace in text gets recorded in History as a chain of separate Clear stepsWhen we type a text, Ai treats it as one operation, all the time. Even when we press Enter, the flow is considered to be uninterrupted — and there a bug report about this: 
 http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47038321
 Even if an automatic conversion of bullets happen, Ai still thinks it’s not worth undoing — and there is a bug report about this as well: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46954429But for some reason when I hold Backspace to delete a bunch of text, Ai records each deleted symbol as a separate step, despite the fact it’s treated by users as a one operation, eating up the history… 10 votes

Envelope Distort, Layers, and Illustrator Performance BugI've recently come across a bug with the envelope distortion tool. The bug happens when I use the Make with Warp effect on text. When this is applied, all the layers and sub-layers get frozen with no ability to see the thumbnail preview or to open or close any of the layers. This also affects the ability to hide or preview any layer, lock or unlock, and/or select anything in the layers. 
 This also causes Illustrator to run very high ram while causing unresponsiveness and difficulty in processing and sometimes the inability to save files.So far, the work-a-rounds that… 2 votesAs per the comment from the developer of the LTTR/INK plugin, this issue is going to be fixed in the upcoming update of the tool.

Colocar novamente as opções da janela de traçadoNão é possível que uma versão nova tenha um retrocesso e fique limitada em algo tão básico como modificar os traçados, falei com o suporte e me confirmaram que realmente não tem mais, não posso modificar o traçado básico para ter pontas ou ser intermitente ou ficar interno, centrado ou externo à forma... que retrocesso é esse? 1 vote

Illustrator won't export the correct artboardsEverytime i try to export a document, either as a PDF, JPEG, PNG, it won't export the correct artboards; say I have a document with 10 artboards and I want to export only 1 to 5, it will export all the pages. If I'm trying to export just one artboard as a JPEG, sometimes it will export another one randomly. Yes I'm making sure the artboards are labeled correctly, yes I type the correct numbers when exporting, but nothing seems to help, illustrator just exports whatever, I have to save the document, close it and open it again and try… 1 vote

Illustrator 2024 Freezes When I Click SaveAnytime the Save button is pressed, it opens the dialog box and immediately freezes. All of the buttons are grayed out besides the option to save to Creative Cloud itself. I cannot save to my computer or hard drive (both have tons of memory). I tried to use Illustrator 2023 and it didn't work either.

Libraries are responding super slowlyInteracting with the libraries panel is SUPER slow. 
 Right clicking on an item takes ~ 15 seconds for the menu to show up.
 Selecting something from the menu takes just as long to work.
 "adding to library" take 10-15 seconds.
 moving/organizing the items in the library takes 10-15 secondsWhile waiting, I can still use the drawing window/artboards no problem. 
 This started happening last week. (approx feb 26 2024)1 vote

Bounding Box outside path and wrong dimensionsAfter 22 years of using Illustrator, the bounding box does not works anymore as it was used to. 
 When I draw a square of 10mm x 10mm with a centered path of 0,5mm the bounding box was always visualized precisely over the path and the dimensions of the square are 10x10mm
 Since yesterday (01.18.2024) the bounding box is visualized outside the path and the dimensions are 10,5 x 10,5mm
 Hope that is only a bug and not a featureVersion 28.1 (64 bit) on Windows 10 1 voteThis is a feature, and you can disable it. Go to Preferences > General and turn off Use Preview Bounds option in the bottom right corner. With this enabled Illustrator includes strokes into the measured bounds.
