SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue
Hi,
I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).
For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

Live shapes loose their controls in Transform panel once they become a part of a compound shape
If I have a Rectangle shape and then subtract it from another path with Alt held (to make a live compound shape), I loose ability to change the width and height and rotation of this rectangle.
That is if I select it with the Direct/Group Selection tool — Transform panel does not show Rectangle Properties section, and Properties panel does not show anything from Transform at all — it has a no selection set of buttons.This is crucial because the rectangle I subtract is rotated, and simply editing width and height distorts it.
Isolation mode does not help.A…

Repeat-> Mirror grayed out after expanding symbols
I used the symbol sprayer to spray image symbols. Then I expanded the objects (until I couldn't expand anymore). I selected all the object and tried to mirror them but the menu item is grayed out. All the menu items under "repeat" are grayed out, except for "options...".

Illustrator changes Tiny SVG headers
(1.) Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19042 and Illustrator 26.5
(2.) open file, then "save as" > SVG Tiny 1.2
(3.) SVG header contains: xmlns:x="&nsextend;" xmlns:i="&nsai;" xmlns:graph="&ns_graphs;"
(4.) previous SVG Tiny 1.2 headers never contained the xmlns information in (3.)
(5.) see uploaded filesPlease do not advise me on how to use (or not use) SVG files. It is just about the program (Illustrator) changing its settings for SVG headers.

Cannot turn off Middle Eastern feature. I am not in Middle East anymore. Type direction starts from R>L, and the numbers are in Arabic
I activated my Creative Cloud membership when I was in Dubai, UAE, and now I am in Germany. My Photoshop and Illustrator are automatically in a Middle Eastern setting. I do not speak any Arabic language so I don't need this feature. I managed to fix Photoshop, but in Illustrator, it is impossible! Even after changing my laptop region, creative cloud account's location, setting English as the default language, and re-installing the software, nothing has happened. It is becoming a nuisance, the texts start from R>L and the numbers are always in Arabic. How can I turn off this feature?

Cmd + Tab app switching forcibly keeps Illustrator in focus
When Illustrator (at full-screen mode) is in focus, and when executing the quick-app-switching Mac shortcut (cmd+tab) to the previous app, Illustrator always remains in focus. Even though the OS thinks the new app has focus — it will, for instance, invisibly receive keyboard inputs — Illustrator's UI nevertheless retains complete hold over the display, save for the OS toolbar. Chrome, Finder, even something as simple as Calculator; none of them show up. I've had to downgrade to Illustrator v.25 just to get work done.

Color change with the CPU/GPU overview with an external display
Hello, I am on a 14" MacBook Pro. 2021
On the MacBook screen the rendering change (CPU/GPU) does not change the color and everything works fine.
However on an external screen the GPU rendering gives bad color (often distorted and duller), by activating the CPU rendering the color becomes normal on the external screen.
In GPU rendering on the external screen for example, the dropper does not pick up the right color (its link images).
On the other hand, once the color has been cut in CPU rendering, we can put back the GPU rendering (the colors become desaturated) but…

Illustrator keeps oversaturating the color space even though modes/swatches are set correctly.
When opening a file (usually with photography), illustrator will oversaturate all the colors regardless of color settings. Everything will be set to consistent CMYK settings but the colors show up so saturated and it's impossible to work in that space.

Mega huge trim printer marks in PDF copy, using large canvas document
AI 25.4.1 / Win10
ACTION TAKEN:
Saving a copy of A2 sized AI project as PDF file (print-production style).RESULT:
Extremely huge printer marks in PDF (see screenshots)!
Tried several PDF versions in saving dialogue with same failed result.WORK-AROUND:
1. Verify artboard size (and PDF document size as well) several times, just to be sure if my mind works OK this morning. And it's working fine (sight of relief :-)
2. To make printer-ready PDF, original AI file was imported to InDesign (via import, Cmd+D).
3. Then, upscaled imported graphics to 100% (which made me guess than original AI…14 votes -

Disable SHIFT + SPACE Keyboard Shortcut for Rotate Canvas
A SHIFT+ SPACE keyboard shortcut for the rotate canvas tool was introduced in a minor version update of Ai 25 (sometime after 25.2.1). This keyboard shortcut is very disruptive when trying to make selections while panning around the artboard. For example, you used to be able to continually hold down the SHIFT and SPACE keys to pan around the artboard while quickly dragging the cursor around points or objects to add them to your selection. With the new rotate canvas shortcut, you have to carefully press SHIFT, make your first selection, release SHIFT, press SPACE to to pan, release, press…
