  1. Paragraph copy converts to individual letters, or small small groups of letters

    I have noticed this issue with some increasing frequency: where paragraphs of copy suddenly appear as individual letters or small groupings. These letters all appear on their own layer. I am unable to grab all the text, or modify an entire word. Thankfully, I save rounds of files, or work by copy and pasting , so I'm generally able to grab copy from an older version, but this is maddening to say the least. I work as a packaging designer and it's crucial that copy remain editable. I have attached an image of the copy selected and highlighted little pink…

  3. Stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to

    The stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to (transform="scale(sx sy)") if the scale values (sx, sy) are different. Stroke width is not scaled if the scale values are the same. Ideally stroke should not be scaled.
    Workaround for the browser is to use vector-effect='non-scaling-stroke' attr, but it is still not being supported by AI.

    This need some clarification.

    I don’t think I can understand the problem.

    Illustrator is capable of scaling strokes with object, it the corresponding option is checked. When it’s enabled, it does not differ between uniform and non-uniform transformations. So, is it a feature request and not a bug report, or am I missing the point of it?

  4. 上書き保存時に時々保存前のaiデータが勝手に複製される

    バージョンはCC2022です。
    「sample.ai」のデータを上書き保存すると「ai100000000sample.ai」(0部分は任意の数字)というファイルが時々勝手に複製されます。
    削除しようとしても「権限がありません」と出て消せません(再起動すると消せるようになることがあります)
    バグなのか設定の問題なのかわからなかったのでここで質問させていただきます。

  6. Font Height Options misbehave with rounded fonts

    Recently I started to notice that some of the fonts I use make wrong result when x-height or cap-height is used to set a font size.

    I clearly see that the height is of, by eye and the underlying grid, but Character palette says otherwise. I outline the font, I measure glyphs and I get smaller dimensions.

    Take a look at the file and the picture attached.

    When fonts with straight terminals are used, everything is fine. Visual dimensions match metrics precisely.

    But when a font with rounded terminals is used, like two examples at the bottom, things go weird.

    和文組版中、縦組みの文字列でタブ設定した後の半角英数字を「縦中横」で縦にしようとするとアプリケーションがクラッシュする。また、「縦中横」設定した文字の前にタブを打ち込むと同じようにクラッシュする。

  8. Images in clipping masks glitching and overlaying artwork when in GPU

    This is similar to previous posts but not sure if the same.. apologies if repeating. In the latest version of illustrator, images within clipping masks are glitching out and making the file impossible to work with. These glitched versions of the masked image change constantly when zooming in or out, but do not disappear as they used to when illustrator bugged out previously. see attached screenshot. The orange metal flake texture should only exist within the frame of the bicycle. The lighter orange glitchy shapes do not exist.

    Hi All,

    Thank you for reaching out and reporting this issue.

    We’ve attempted to reproduce the problem in-house but have been unable to do so with the current information. To assist us in resolving the issue more effectively, we would greatly appreciate it if you could provide the following details:

    1. Machine configuration and GPU details.
    2. If possible, the .ai file(s) where the issue is observed.
    3. A short screen recording demonstrating the issue.
    4. Confirmation on whether the issue persists with the latest Adobe Illustrator build.

    Your input will help us investigate this more thoroughly and expedite a resolution.

    Looking forward to your response.

  9. Bounding box is off centered or is not aligned to object correctly

    The bounding box is off centered on my objects. I have all of the "Snap to.." options off, Preview bounds is off and I do not have any of the "align to pixel grid" options on. I created a new file and did a random rectangle and it is still off, but not as severe on the file that I am working on. I did try the "Reset bounding box" option and nothing changed. The screenshots are all objects without a stroke. I am on a Mac. I don't see this problem on the PC.

  12. Dashed line not working

    I have the latest build of Illustrator 2021 for macOS Big Sur. When I try to apply the dashed line feature to lines or shapes, the effect does not show up. It’s as if I never clicked it. What’s going on here? I’ve never experienced this in past versions of Illustrator. I even tried deleting my preferences. Still nothing. This is so frustrating!

    Hi All,

    Thanks for reporting a crash you faced in Illustrator.

    Based on your report, Illustrator is crashing when you are trying to edit a graph.

    Can you please help us with a sample AI file and steps you follow to get this crash? It would help if you could share a sample video of the crash as well. This will help us to reproduce it in-house and fix it.

    With Best Regards,

  18. Artifact lines appear in Illustrator on images with softmasks when Mac OS GPU setting ON (will render on Rip output if downsampled)

    To Reproduce:
    On Mac OS 12 open the .AI file from the attachment (NativeIllustratorFilesFRESH.zip) in Adobe Illustrator
    Ignore the font warnings, but link the images (ignore links for any images not included in zip file)
    See the screenshot (artifact.jpg), notice the artifact lines around many of the images
    Now save this AI file as a PDF using the Adobe PDF Preset "Illustrator Default"
    Open this PDF in Acrobat and ensure "Smooth Images" in Preferences is enabled
    Notice the artifact
    Now using Acrobats option "Save AS Opimtized" (and this is the most important part) downsample the images to 300 dpi in…
