  1. Shear dialog forgets the value

    While rotating objects keeps the value of the angle in the dialogue box, bending (shearing) immediately forgets the value. A bug?

    Während beim Drehen von Objekten der Wert des Winkels im Dialogfeld erhalten bleibt, vergisst das Verbiegen den Wert sofort wieder. Ein Bug?

  2. Mac OS Save As file name highlight bug

    Productivity killing bug in Illustrator 25.2.3, but not Photoshop 22.3.1!:

    Mac OS (Catalina, currently) Save As dialog box highlights the entire file name, including the extension, which has been a bug the past several versions. For over a decade, Save As would not include the extension in the highlight, so one could tap the arrow key once to the end of the file name to change it, to increment a version number for example. This bug has been a huge stumbling block in my productivity.

    Also, in Illustrator, the sometimes Save As does not highlight the file name at all…

  3. Illustrator Background Flickering

    Hey all.... I'm getting a very annoying flickering background in illustrator CC 25.2.3 as I roll the cursor around.

    It stops when I turn off GPU performance but I'd ideally like to have the best performing Ai as possible...other wise what's the point ey?

    MBP spec:

    10.15.7

    MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
    2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
    64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

    AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
    Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Very Annoying as this MBP is brand new

    Anyone had the same thing?

  4. 文字パレットのサイズ変更がうまくいかない。

    24.3にアップデートました。
    クリックでサ文字イズを変更していると、途中でおかしな数字となり(以前は1Qごとに移行していた)、それ以上進まない。
    そうなるとコマンド+zも効かなくなる。

  5. Artboard Options - Constrain Proportions Bug (Illustrator v25.4.1)

    When I make an additional artboard using Shift + O, I click then drag the new artboard and when you hold Shift it constrains the new board to the same as the board made previously, like a rectangle. Holding Shift should make a square.

    This issue occurs regardless of the Constrain Proportions box being checked or not.

  6. Refreshing the display with GPU-View activated seems to be buggy

    While some of the GPU-related glitches seem to be fixed wich the actual Version 25.4 (at least on my iMac here), there is still some strange behaviour that seems to occur on every version newer than 25.0:

    Everytime I open a document, the workspace turns black for a moment. That is not a big problem, but strange, as it never happened in 25.0 or older.

    Second, there are quite often problems in refreshing the display, when moving around in the illustration or copying/dragging objects around. The display gets crippled (blank spaces, where they should not be) and I have to…

  7. Wake from sleep issues

    Illustrator, since the update, when waking from sleep, or even just display sleep - has started to resize the main app window to about 2/3 height of the screen and then when transforming objects (any movement or rotation etc) the pasteboard flickers. The pasteboard also changes shade when shifting bewteen tools - again only after waking from sleep.

    It is a brand new Mac Mini, and only affects Illustrator WITHIN the window - i.e. only the pasteboard - no menus or tools etc flicker.

    Edit: I have just noticed I get same behaviour with the window resize and some flickering…

  8. Type jumbles up in text box. Maybe because I installed Hebrew/Arabic capability?

    When I create a type box and either type in it or copy-paste from a text editor (BB Edit, which provides really clean type), the type jumbles up together without word breaks. Sometimes it ends up overwriting type that's already there and sometimes the type ends up occupying a single line, even though it may be many lines of type.

    I've had a number of type problems of various sorts since installing Hebrew/Arabic type capability several months ago.

  10. Anchor Point w/ Tools Not Working

    I am using the latest verion of Illustrator on my updated Macbook 15.0, and I have to hand in a project BUT the anchor points are suddenly not working for pen, curvature, or anchor point tool. I dont know exactly how to explain it but when I try to add a line to my layer it doesnt set the anchor point where I want it, and doesnt add lines where I want them to be. When I try to move them they are very rigid in where to go, and I cant edit how long/short they are. Has anyone else…

  11. Exporting of Multiple Artboards in PDF gets messed up the order of pages (Artboards)

    Exporting an AI file that has multiple artboards in it to PDF used to show the artboards in order. Now it just messes up my artboard order. The artboard names are 1,2,3,4.. After export the pages come in this order: 1,2,4,3

    My illustrator version: 25.4.1

    Same file works perfectly in the previous version (before I updated)

  15. Difference in SVG clipboard code between Mac and Windows in v25.4

    There has been a change in the SVG code format AI puts in the clipboard for Windows starting in v25.4.

    I've been using the clipboard to paste designs into the Glowforge interface for the past 3+ years. it worked properly up until the most recent update. then I started having scaling issues.

    I posted on the Glowforge site and found that people using the Mac in v25.4 aren't having the same issue. The Glowforge engineers looked at the SVG clipboard code for Mac and windows and figured out that the issue is that the clipboard code for Windows has changed.

  17. Colour code changing Illustrator 25.4 BUG!

    When I put in a number on R G B example R88 G122 B27, it changes but then when I select another object and go back to double check the other object the colour has changed back to something else. See screen shot. I saved the colour in the pallete. The colour should have the same values as the name I want R88, G122, B27 but its value is different, its giving me a different colour value.

    My colour setting are see screen shot

  19. Illustrator utterly slow after 25.3.1 update

    Running on late 2013 mac Pro with 64GB RAM

    As per title, even menus take a while before opening. Tried to uninstall and reinstall, no effect. If I go back one version it works as before, at usual speed.

  20. "Not Responding" every 30 seconds

    1. Windows 10, Intel i9-9900K, 32GB Mem, Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
    2. Adobe Illustrator Desktop v25.3.1
    3. Open Illustrator
    4. Every 30 seconds, "Not Responding" appears and I am unable to perform any action for approximately 15 seconds

    I also received a System Compatibility Report- Video Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630. I ensured all drivers, windows, and illustrator are up to date. The issue still occurs.
