Illustrator fails miserably to correctly open/interpret most SVG files
Half the time when I get sent SVG files and try to open them, the result is strange error messages, and often a completely messed up result, often with elements completely missing.
I tried to attach an SVG sample, but seems this website doesnt support SVG either (and zipping didn't help). Doh. Didn't work to paste the code either.

In the latest version of Illustrator 25.4.1 the gradient preview appears broken. The same file opened in the lower 2019 version of Illustrator does not have this problem.

GPU performance causes screen artefacts
In AI 25.4, when GPU Performance is enabled, at some point when working on a file, or switching between screens, thin vertical and horizontal black lines will appear. They seem to flash on and off for a second or more as though Illustrator is switching between tabs or other open applications.
I've tried to take a screenshot/video when this happens but it doesn't show up, if you look at the screenshot/video, it's as though those lines were never there.
When GPU Performance is disabled, the issue goes away.

Fix Creative Cloud - files can't be retrieved but cloud says no sync errors
Operating system: MacOS Big Sur Version 11.6
Adobe Illustrator: 25.4.1Trying to open a cloud document but they don't seem to exist/can't be opened as I cannot access my docs in the cloud.
I have restarted, updated etc etc and still, when I want to access my cloud docs Illustrator says "Something went wrong, please restart the app and try again"
I've also tried accessing from the Creative Cloud app where I have gone to my library and my cloud documents, nothing loads up - it just spins seemingly forever.
Weirdly though, in Illustrator on my iPad Pro it says…5 votes -

Illustrator RulerUnits returns Unknown for 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches'
Illustrator recently added 'Feet' and 'Feet and Inches' to the available ruler units; however, when a user selects one of these units, the scripting side returns 'RulerUnits.Unknown' for 'activeDocument.RulerUnits'.
For scripting, the corresponding 'RulerUnits.*' value should be added so that developers can respond to the selected units.

Old illustrator files opening distorted and flattened on 1 layer
Lots of crazy things happening since updating Illustrator to 2022 from the 2020 version. Text on ellipse paths are uneditable, text on ellipse paths are misaligned, and layers are flattened.
No issues with files that don't have ellipse paths so not sure if this is a text on path issue or a ellipse issue.

貼り付けたテキストの末尾に不明な何かが混入する現象について
【OSおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン】
Windows10 v21H2
2020：24.3.2 発生しない
2021：25.2.x 発生する
2021：25.4.2 発生する
2022：26.1 発生する【問題が発生したときに実行していた手順】
1. メモ帳等の別のアプリケーションにある書式情報のないテキストをコピーする
2. Illustratorにて、テキストポイントやテキストエリアを作らずに貼り付ける【想定していた結果】
手順1でコピーしたテキストがIllustrator上に貼り付けられる【実際の結果】
テキストの貼り付け自体はできますが、末尾に“何か”が混入します。曖昧な表現になっていますが、“何か”は設定するフォントによって見えたり見えなかったりします。Arialにすると白四角で表示されます。
アートボード上では選択やコピペができますが、検索フォームに貼り付けることはできませんし、メモ帳等に貼り付けることもできません。
情報パネルで確認すると「Unicode:0x0000」と表示されます。1 vote -
Issues saving CMYK vector as PNG
I am trying to save my vector as a PNG file, something simple, and it looks good on the Artboard, but for some reason after saving it, it changes some colors, like some sort of blending mode effect and I tried everything, still not working. The RGB vector is being saved just fine, is the CMYK version that I am having issues with.

Random text disappearing from box
Big Sur 11.4
Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1When I open some of my ai files the text inside a text box disappears. If I try to create a new text box to replace that text it keeps disappearing. This only happened to me after updating to Big Sur. It's extremely frustrating as I haven't found a way to work around it.
First photo is how it appears when I look at a preview of the ai file before opening, second photo is what it looks like when I open the file. (Don't mind the black lines, I wanted to keep that…

Running Adobe Illustrator 2022 v26.1.0 on MacOS Monterey v12.1 and the artwork disappears when I zoom in more than 900%.
I can use the direct selection tool to show the outline of the artwork, but the entire artwork is in the background color, grey.

Changing the color of a shape doesn't record as a change to be saved
This bug happens when I open an AI document, select a shape and change it's color using the "Color" panel. After doing this, the "Save" option in the "File" menu is grey, meaning that's no change to be saved, which is not correct. This is a problem because multiple times I needed to open a documento just to change a color and when I hit "Ctrl + S" that change doesn't get saved.

how can a note have more than one value?
this file shows a situation where the note shown in the attribute panel differs from the note visiblefor a script. There were about fife occurences in a file of about 500 art objects. I picked one and removed everything else, and also replaced the artwork by a plain rectangle.
To view the error, select the square and view the attribute panel
Then run this extendscript:
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var obj = doc.selection[0]
alert(obj.note)BTW: I could set proper values with a simple jsx that sets the note from the contents of a text field

When I try to change the language for the whole document it doesn't work. I change it and when I open it again it has the old language.

AMD Radeon Pro 580 rendering bug
Hi, I have a 2017 iMac Retina 5k 27", 64GB RAM, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 with AMD Radeon Pro 580 GPU, 8Gb VRAM, driver version 01.00.931, Illustrator 25.4.1. I am getting odd effects in rendering of linear gradients where angular areas of colour appear at higher magnifications. If the GPU is turned off in Illustrator prefs the effect disappears. Please see screenshot attached showing the effect with GPU. Is there a fix for this, please?

テキスト操作時のIビームの点滅が早すぎる
Illustrator 26.0 (Intel/Ja_JP)
macOS10.15.7テキスト入力時のIビームのフリッカが強すぎる。Tツールにてマウスカーソルを移動し挿入点を変更した際に特に早くなります。現象の動画を添付します。
入力時はカーソル付近を注視するため図形明滅刺激の影響による健康被害の発生につながる可能性もあります。ver.25の仕様に戻していただきたいと思います。
また、M1でも同様の挙動との報告を受けております。2 votesIllustratorデスクトップ版UserVoiceへのご協力をありがとうございます。
いただきましたご報告につきまして、Ver26.1で改善されておりますのでステータスを変更させていただきます。
こちらの投稿に関するご報告について、後日何かしらの変更が加わるようなことがある場合には、こちらにてお知らせをさせていただきます。
今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Locked background objects unlocking/moving when using lasso selection tool
When I select using the LASSO tool, on screen shows the correct points have been selected, but when I then try to move just these selected points, Illustrator also moves the LOCKED background objects underneath. This error does not happen when I select using other tools. This is clearly a bug!
