  1. loop glitch

    when i draw a loop (or any curved line) with my wacom pen or mouse there is a 50% chance a weird ( I really dont know how to describe it, photos attached) extra color area and if I outline the stroke it stays that way. I just want a regular old stroke to stay the width I chose for it. its very time consuming to go through every loop and tweak it just slightly so the extra stuff goes away.

    i'm using illustrator cc 22.1 on an imac 10.13.3 but had the problem before on my old macbook pro…

  2. Ctrl+F

    Antigamente, o ctrl+F (colar no local) colava a forma no mesmo local independentemente da camada ou artboard. Hoje ele cola apenas na mesma camada na qual foi recortado ou copiado. Isso é muito ruim pois temos que direcionar para a camada desejada manualmente. Acho que isso é um bug visto que a função perde o sentido.

  3. Eyedropper wants to convert everything to text color?

    I have several elements that need to be colored the same way. After coloring the first one, I'm trying to color pick it to color the others... only as soon as I hover over the previously colored object a T appears next to the eyedropper and it colors the object black, regardless of the color I click on with the tool.

    There is NO text on the page!

    I cannot find anything that addresses this problem, and I'm wasting a lot of time trying to figure it out.

  5. Changing Overprint or blending mode on part of a text resets when file is reopened

    1. Create a text box, on a colour background.
    2. Make some of the text a colour, some black.

    The black does not overprint, it reverses ("knocks") out of other text in the same box reverses out (becuase it's colour or white).

    If you fix this by making the black text multiply, on reopening the file, it has reverted to reversing out.

  6. Image Trace Preview doesn't work

    Image Trace window lets you adjust advanced preferences (color county, angle threshold etc.) When I tick the "preview" box, then image traces according to my selected preferences. But after un-ticking the box it does not return to a normal rasterized image.

  7. Vectors disappearing

    When working on art-boards with a lot of vectors, not all of them show up. It's as if it can't handle working with that many.

  8. CC降存CS3工作區域不見

    自升級為CC2018後，將檔案降存為CS3版本後，再開啟CS3版的檔案時，原本的工作區域會只剩下工作區域1，其他都只剩工作區域參考線，這是以前未出現的問題。
    1)而後嘗試改回CC2017還是有一樣的問題。
    2)CC2018降存CS6並無此問題。

  9. .TIF are distorted when placed and rotated in AI

    There is a bug in Illustrator 22.0.1 that distorts placed .tif files that are rotated. It is not just a display issue, but actually distorts the placed .tif image when I export my art to all file types. Attached is a before and after screen shot of what I am experiencing, using a bitmap .tif as a texture placed over my vector art. The two .tif files are the same, one just rotated 90°.

  10. Shortcuts not working, update cc 2018

    I was using CC fine the other day, and now I've updated to the latest version (2018) none of my shortcuts are working, only the space bar works for moving around - very frustrating since it takes away my whole workflow and adds loads of time to creating something very simple!

  11. Rearrange Artboards function doesn’t position artboards on pixel grid and thus blurs artwork

    When using the function to rearrange artboards— including the embedded artwork — the artwork is placed on subpixels, although it was pixel perfect before. This bug appears in the pixel-preview mode, no matter when on CPU or GPU mode.

  12. Since the recent update, some fonts randomly deactivate in both Illustrator and Indesign. Also when typing a font name in the search box of

    Since the recent update (Dec2017), some fonts randomly deactivate approx every half an hour, in both Illustrator and Indesign. Also when typing a font name in the search area of the type window, the letters jumble around making it impossible to search and jump directly to the font I want - it's incredibly frustrating and time wasting.
    Can you please tell me how to fix this bug

  14. Using arrow keys for incrementing an artboard’s width doesn’t work

    When resizing an artboard using the 'Artboard options' panel it is possible to increment the size using the arrow keys, one MM at a time for example.
    This feature now only works intermittently for the Width field. It is still possible to change the number and the artboard will adjust.

  16. Bugged redraw/tearing when drawing a shape causes window to scroll

    1. Illustrator CC2017.1.0
    2. Click and drag with a shape tool (e.g. rectangle) and while dragging move to the edge of the window so it causes it to scroll.
    3. The window should redraw the newly visible parts of the document as the window scrolls them into view.
    4. Depending on whether GPU acceleration is enabled or not you get nothing or you get the edge pixels repeated endlessly during the scroll until you release the mouse.
    5. See video for explanation: youtu.be/JC1anKCewQs

  18. Can't get rid 0.001

    In the file, width of the clipping mask should be 550pt but it only stuck in 550.001pt. Want an explanation for this.

    I could only create another rectangle in this case. But sometimes happened on some complicated shapes which was quite exhausted.

  19. "Open" button not responding first time

    After the recent update, with the new layout of the home screen, I have to click the "Open..." button two or three times before it opens the file explorer window. It acts like it is being clicked, but then nothing happens.

  20. Illustrator has bugs to support variable font with 3 attributes

    This is a sample font which to demo the variable font has 3 attributes (weight/height/Optical Size).

    If use Illustrator's Character panel to adjust the height attributes, the weight attributes would no work.
