  1. Free transform tool groups selected layers to one layer

    When selecting several Layers and using the Free Transform Tool, Illustrator moves all these layers to 1 single layer.
    I guess this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?

  4. Ai crashes (hangs) after installing (and selecting) Google Noto Color Emoji font!

    Since Ps has added NCE (Noto Color Emoji) font, Ai doesn't recognize it! I downloaded the font from GFont (NCE v2.038). After installing (for "All users"), whenever I select the NCE font in Ps or Ai, those apps crash (hang)!

    If I uninstall the font (which I downloaded from GFont, not the Ps native installed one) and reinstall Ps, the font works OK, but again it doesn't appear in the Ai font list!

    I posted some screenshots there:

  7. Can't resize objects, issue with selection tool

    Can't resize objects like images or text boxes once they have been placed. Could only use scale and rotate for resizing items. Seems the selection tool isn't working as it should, or it's illustrator itself. I've seen this seems like a recurring problem over the years

  8. Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol

    As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176

    If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.

    For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.

    Single Replace works fine.

  9. Incorrect handling of mouse clicks on the Home Screen

    On the Home Screen (Preferences > General > Show the Home Screen When No Documents Are Open) the tiles representing the recent documents handle mouse clicks incorrectly.

    Currently, to register a MOUSE CLICK event and open the clicked document, the position of the mouse cursor during the MOUSE DOWN event and the subsequent MOUSE UP event must be exactly the same.

    Normally, to register a click it's enough that both DOWN and UP events occur within the same active area. It means that the mouse cursor can move while the mouse button is down (between the DOWN and UP events),…

  10. Hiding a layer doesn't hide the guides

    Since the Update 27.5 of Illustrator CC all guides oaf any file are showing whether or not their parent layer is visible or not. In my Graphic template i have a base layer for guides of different target sizes, areas and columns which are organized on named layers for each type of guides to easily show/hide them.
    since the the last update (27.5 AI on macOS) ALL guides are showing up whether or not the layer containing these guides is hidden or shown which results in showing all guides for 4, 5 and 6 column layouts as well as all…

  11. Illustrator 23 and 24 Lags and Crashes

    My entire department has been having issues with Illustrator recently. Will work fine for an hour or two, but then slows to a crawl, takes ages to save, and eventually crashes.

    We have issues opening files as well.

    we have:
    uninstalled, reinstalled
    reset our preferences
    Updated drivers
    and
    tried ctrl + alt +shft open to save a safe version.

    nothing has worked. we can't even go back to previous versions because now we get the same issue with them.

    Working on: Lenovo Thinkpad with Win10, Intel i9 processor, NVIDIA Quadro RTX4k and 64GB RAM

  14. Align to artboard can't change to Align selected objects

    The default Align Artboard button cannot be changed to Align selected objects.
    The version I am using is 28.0, mac system. I can't perform the point alignment operation, it will automatically perform the 'Align Artboard' function. 'Align' is a frequently used feature, so please fix it as soon as possible. Thanks

  16. Make it possible again to move Text by its Anchor Point

    When Text is baseline shifted, it is no longer possible to move the Text Object by grabbing its Anchor Point, unfortunately.

    Please repair that.

  17. text selection issue with threaded text frames

    Trying to select text in the second column of a threaded text frame is impossible. The selection always jumps to select the text in the previous text frame. In the video example I uploaded - I'm simply trying to select just the top paragraph in the middle column - but it keeps highlighting the text in the linked text frame on the left column. I can never just select the top 3 lines in the middle column.

  19. Illustrator 2024(28.0)でブラウザなどから直接貼り付けるとハングする画像がある。

    macOS 14.1.1 MacBook Pro 2019 eGPU使用
    28.0 発生
    27.9 発生しない

    問題の発生
    ブラウザやOffice系の画像をコピーペーストまたはDrag'n'DropでIllustratorのアートボードに貼り付けるとレインボーカーソルが発生しハングする。

    問題の再現性
    「外部GPUを優先」時に発生、チェックを外すと起きない。

    アプリ側が『新しい Retype 機能を使用して画像内のテキストを編集します。』の表示をしようとした時の「外部GPUを優先」時の不具合か?
