You removed the ability to paste text into the file name - this saved typing errors for complex names
Forever we have been able to copy and paste in the name of the file into the file name.
you removed that - its really bad - now it is another place errors occur.

Modifying stroke width of paths with mixed aspects totally erases their Appearance
Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4
When I try to modify the stroke width of multiple paths that have mixed aspects, it totally erases their Appearance instead.
In the attached video, I have 3 paths that are similar except for their stroke colour. When I try to change their width from 0,5mm to 1mm, their Appearance become "empty. :-(

Align with preview bounds doesn't work with transform effect copies
I created a gear by creating a circle, then a box for one of the pieces. I created a point in the middle of the circle and grouped the box with that point. Then I used the transform effect on that group to create a circular array. Then I grouped that and added a pathfinder-Add effect to make it one piece, but still keep it nice and editable. Then I punched a hole in the middle by adding another circle, grouping it to that, and adding an effect, pathfinder-Subtract.
I then added two lines of text as one object. Those,…3 votes -
Small caps do not work for Libertinus font (open type font)
The small caps feature does not work for the Libertinus Serif font (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus) in Illustrator. Only some of the letters get capitalized. It does, however, work with Libertinus Serif Display. (different variant of the same font family) This issue (from the font development page) contains more information: https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/issues/482
Other programs like LibreOffice don't have this issue and render the small caps correctly, so it may be that there is an issue in Illustrator.To reproduce: just download and install the Libertinus font, create a new document, add some text, apply the Libertinus Serif font and activate small caps…

Stop "Get started with fun and interactive tutorials" permanently
Every single time I open Illustrator I get accosted by the "Get started with fun and interactive tutorials" tooltip.
There's two options on it:
- "Remind Later", which temporarily hides the tooltip
- "OK", which opens a tutorial panel and temporarily hides the tooltipThere needs to be an option for "Never show this stupid thing again"

Colour values change on their own! Very frustrating
Colours keep slightly changing over time, even as I am designing live inside a file!
I will enter an exact CMYK or RGB value to match our brands colours, then these values will change slightly all on their own.
I've been monitoring this for about 2 months now hoping this issue would be resolved in an update... but it hasnt been!
This is a massive issue! Colours have to be stable!
We need to be able to trust the program with things that are vital for a brand, like their COLOURS!

Top: is the original…33 votesThis problem requires an investigation, but not enough data is gathered yet to even start it.
Please provide these settings to help the team to deal with the problem:
1. The version of illustrator. OS and GPU model
2. Your color settings (a screenshot of the Color Settings dialog will do)
3. A test file with swatches which gets changed
4. A copy of this file when changes happen (if there is a difference in actual numbers swatches store)
Also, please check if the behaviour differs when you disable GPU mode and note that.
Send these to sharewithai@adobe.com (please also provide the link to this report for tracking purposes — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/40866958) or share directly in the comments if you are allowed to share these files publicly.
It looks like this case is configuration specific, so if you are potentially willing to participate in the investigation of this issue by a…

Stop rasterizing the gradient on an object when expanding its appearance
When you expand the appearance of an object with a gradient, the gradient is rasterized, which I believe, defeats the purpose of using it considering the results. The resulting image has a lot of erroneous White specs. If there is a stroke aligned to the center, it creates two layers with the same gradient, which means you have to unite them with pathfinder. A layer that's shaped the same as the rasterized object with the gradient is the color gray.
The workaround is to apply a solid color, then expand, then reapply the gradient, but it took me some time…

Imported objects loosing color from brush and swatch
objects imported into another illustrator file loose their colors in both preview and swatches. We build items we produce by bring in standard objects that represent items we use over and over. Since the upgrade to 25.3.1, when we import those objects, the color is removed, does not happen in 25.2.3.

Undo after unlocking a layer makes the saved file marked as unsaved
If you open a file and make a change, the file name shows an asterisk in the document’s tab to indicate this. If you then immediately Undo the change, the asterisk disappears — makes sense, the file is back to its original state.
But this doesn't work if you lock or unlock a layer and then Undo! The asterisk remains in place.
Thanks to John Goodman for reporting this.

Single click on a radial gradient with gradient tool does nothing...
When using the gradient tool on a radial gradient, a single-click should move the center of the gradient to the click location. This only works if the gradient annotator is turned on, otherwise nothing happens. See attached video.

Illustrator free transform bug.
When I go to use free transform and I want to resize an object, it switches to rotate instead of resize.
Compounding this I can be near the object but not close to the transform anchors and it will still register me as click the transform anchor.

Close file when saving as a .PDF
Close file when saving as a .PDF
This has been a HUGE problem since you guys changed the way Illustrator handles file saves.
When you Save As... and save as .pdf the .pdf file remains open and editable. Which if you are in a fast paced environment and forget to close that 'New' file, you are editing a PDF and when you close it out and try to reopen you are now faced with a non-editable Illustrator file (especially if you unselect illustrator compatiblity).I have lost DAYS of work doing that one simple task, just so I could email…

Selecting & deselecting objects is buggy too
While working in a file:
Attempting to select more than one object at a time to move them simultaneously works, but then I cannot deselect the objects by clicking the art board as in all previous versions of Illustrator.
I have to click on each object at a time to deselect them. It doesn't always happen, but it happens often enough that it becomes an issue with work efficiency.3 votes
