Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

Bug: dragging global swatch to the “plus” button doesn’t work as expected
MacOS 12.6.2
Illustrator 27.1.1To replicate the issue:
Create a group of swatches and put a global swatch inside the group.
Drag this swatch to the [+] button to create a duplicate.
The actual result: A new global swatch is created outside the group with “Original Name copy” name while the original swatch is also renamed to the same name. Changing one of those swatches also changes the other, they act as one swatch.
Expected result: the same as when you alt-click the [+] button to duplicate a swatch. A new global swatch is created in the same group, it’s…3 votes -
No error gets triggered when a swatch is renamed to have an identical name with another one
MacOS 12.6.2
Illustrator 27.1.1
The issue: one can create multiple swatches with the same name.
Create a few non-global swatches or use existing ones. Go inside the swatches and edit the names to the same value for all swatches — no error is triggered.2 votes -
Colors don't match
The color picker rounds the CMYK to the nearest whole number but the color window does not. They should be made consistent.

Color guide options reset to default on Illustrator restart
- Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2486
- Illustrator 27.2
- Open Color Guide Options from Color Guide panel -> customize Steps and/or Variation value -> close and open Illustrator
- Expected: Color Guide panel remembers options Result: options reset to default values (4 steps, 100% variation) so you have to re-enter them every time you start Illustrator
- not file specific, also happens when setting options with no file open - screenshots attached

Free Distort effect ignores Drop Shadow effect within
If a Drop Shadow effect is above a Free Distort effect in the Appearance panel (which means the shadow gets applied after the distortion) — it works fine.
However, if we first have a shadow and then try to distort the object which casts it (the Free Distort is below the Drop Shadow in Appearance) — the vector geometry gets distorted, but the shadow stays orthogonal and immune to the distortion.
Not a very popular workflow, I know, but still.

When working with hi-res Black and White Bitmaps Illustrator goes to CPU preview disabling GPU Animated / Scrubby Zoom.
When using hi-res BW bitmaps, 'Scrubby Zoom' or 'Animated Zoom' disables itself even if it's enabled in preferences. This happens after roughly 1 or 2 seconds after opening a file with this kind of images. The window goes from CMYK/Preview mode to CMYK/CPU mode as if it was in Separations Preview or CPU preview, even though it wasn't set to either of those. View>View Using GPU becomes grayed out so I can't go back.
This bug is happening on a file with 2 1200dpi bitmap 5"x5" (embedded and/or linked), each under 1MB in size, making the Illustrator file 3MB total,…

illustratorだけ正常にフォントが表示されない
TTEditで自作したフォントを10個インストールしましたが、Turetypeの日本語フォントのみillustratorでだけ表示されません。フォント名は連番で作成していますが（例：WA-01、WA-02など）環境にないフォントとしてフォントファミリーとして認識してしまします。
手動でフォントを変更することは可能ですが、他のPCでは同じフォントと認識しません。
Excelでは表示されます。PC：Windows10 21H2
illustrator：26.0、27.0どちらでもダメでした
実行：フォントリストの再作成、フォント名の英語表記ON/OFF、環境設定ファイルの再作成、Adobeのログアウト、PCの初期化、日本語IMEの旧バージョンON/OFF、Adobeの必須ファイルへ直接フォントファイルを入れてのインストール、Windows/Fontsへコピーしてのインストールいろいろ試しましたが変わりませんでした。
PCも変更してみましたがダメでした。まず、フォントリストが削除出来ませんでした。
（写真参照）解決策があれば教えていただきたいです。

Please repair selection of path text objects in a group
When text on a path is part of a group, it is no longer possible to select and delete it.
In previous versions Alt-Shift-Direct Selection allowed to select the path text and delete it, but in the latest version, this tries to delete the path from the text object, which results in 'Can't clear the Objects'.2 votes -
Bitmap images change color
I'm using Illustrator 27.4.1 on Mac OS Ventura 13.2, but I've had this problem for several years.
I link to 1-bit BMPs and color them with a swatch.
When I have multiple BMPs using multiple colors, the preview will often change to one of the other swatches. It does not export this way, but makes it a challenge to design.
The fill color is still displayed in the toolbar correctly, but previews incorrectly until I swap the fill and stroke color twice. When i click somewhere else it will change again. In the screen recording, the bottom bmps should be…

Lost partial fraction capabilities for OpenType
It seems that Illustrator has lost partial fraction OpenType capabilities recently. I was able to create various types of fractions using the 'Fractions' option in the OpenType menu. As of recently, this capability has since been limited to basic fractions (1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
Just to note that I did not change the font. I've been using the same font in both cases (Myriad Pro).
Currently on Illustrator 2023 (Ver. 27.5).1 vote -

Illustrator 2023 opening file crashes when there is a broken link (usually with effects applied)
OS: Window 10
Ver: Illustrator V27.4.1When I open a saved file on other machines (Same OS and Version),
sometimes the link files are broken. However, the problem is Illustrator will crash when I click cancel on the relink pop-up window. And if the file has objects that have effects such as drop shadow/ outer glow, etc. applied. The rendering effect pop-up will load and get stuck loading, crashing the illustrator.It doesn't matter if I hit cancel on the rendering pop-up, which I suspect doesn't work, to begin with.
Have to manually kill the program with the task manager.

Automatic hyphen turns in to different glyph character
I have a strange phenomenon on my Mac (Ventura 13.0.1): in the example there are three identical texts in 3 different font types (purchased, Adobe and Google). All fonts are available in the font manager program (RightFont) and auto-activation is enabled (the fonts are NOT activated initially).
I open the Illustrator (27.0.1) file and RightFont reports that missing fonts are available for activation (Illustrator also reports this, but I ignore this message, as RightFont already 'takes care' of it.
As soon as the fonts are loaded, the purchased and Google fonts have a 'strange' symbol (usually a different kind of…

Measurement labels cannot be deactivated
In "preferences" the option to disable "Measurement labels" does not work: they always remain active. It needs to be fixed because it is very annoying when drawing. Thank you.

3 Color Trace feature no longer working after v27.1 update
3 color trace feature no longer working after v27.1 update (also effects the other limited pallet trace functions) Previously the trace would simplify the colours of a trace, now it ads far too much detail and colour variants even when you request only 3. See attached simple trace, I wanted to keep the 3 colors from the original but extras were added (defined from low res original) this never happened before. I use this feature regularly in my workflow and have done for years. please fix this bug!
