Center of rotation changes position after rotating with a dialog
Trying to rotate a path from a custom rotation location by entering the rotation as a value, not manually.
I'd expect that you can rotate from any given position by entering rotational values. As it is, your selected rotation position will instead default to center.
When you select a custom position to rotate a shape from, it only works if you manually rotate the object. You can't select a custom position and then type in a rotational value via enter or double-clicking on the rotate tool.

Blend in CMYK color mode and GPU preview = MOIRE
In CMYK mode the blend option looks really terrible with GPU preview. With these settings the Blend hets a jaggy moire effect.
Tested in different color modes with CPU and GPU preview. Only CMYK on GPU produces this nasty screen effect, see screenshots. I work mostyl in CMYK mode so I hope this can be fixed rapidly.
macOS 14.1.1 / Adobe Illustator 2024 v28.0
I'm sure this bug affects Illustrator v27.x too.

Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs
If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.
It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.
Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.
Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

Illustrator often fails to build a smooth blend for paths with mismatched number of anchors
Take a look at the file attached and watch the images attached.
Two curves are blended: one has 4 anchors, another one has 5 anchors.
The blend Ai build has weird irregular slits in the middle.If you expand the blend and select problematic anchors, you’ll see that positions are correct, but some handles get interpolated wrongly.
This happens often in many other scenarios.
The current workaround is to add more points to blend, trying to guess and control which point get paired with another.
Another workaround is to cut curves in pieces and blend in chunks.14 votes -
Selection Tool Stops Functioning
The selection tool stops functioning when Illustrator has been open for a while. It will work as expected and then it will stop functioning, either not allowing me to select an object or group at all, or it will allow the select but then nothing happens when you try to click on a corner of an object to either move it or resize it. Opening and closing the file does no good. I have to close Illustrator and re-open it and the tool will start functioning again. It seems like a memory issue.

Menu items missing
I guess this is a bug, but a lot of items are missing from the menus on my Illustrator. The ones I notice most are Window and Object, I'm not sure if stuff is missing from the other menus as well. I have everything up to date, and I'm on Windows 11, version 23H2.

Center points vanish at a certain level of magnification
Above a certain level of magnification, the object's center point vanishes, which is an issue if that's what you are trying to zoom-in on.
This seems mostly to happen in artwork mode.

Name artboard is not added to the file name when exporting (JPG or PNG, etc.)
When executing the command "File > Export As" and exporting, for example, to JPG, the name artboard 3 "preview" is not automatically added to the file name. Everything was fine in the previous version (26.3.1) of Illustrator.
96 votesThis is fixed in 27.1.0 build 2.
The suffix checkbox was added into the Export As dialog to toggle on/off the functionality.
If it doesn’t work for you today in the latest build — please make a comment.

Illustrator Freezes when trying to scroll fonts
When text is highlighted, and I go to change the font and use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down, the program freezes indefinitely.
No custom fonts installed.
2021 Macbook Pro M1 running Sonoma MacOs 14.3.1 (23D60). No other applications open.
I used the MacOs Screenshot App to record the bug in action. However - when recording my screen, the bug does NOT happen. I tested this multiple times. Talk about the observer effect...
In order to capture the bug, I used my phone to record. I tested this multiple times. I'm attaching both videos below.

Graph styling does not survive round-trip save to cloud
When I save a document locally containing a styled graph the graph styling sticks after updating the data. If the same file is saved to the cloud as an .AIC file when I update the data the styling is lost. Saving this file locally does not fix the issue – all styling has to be re-applied. This means I cannot use the cloud to keep template copies of my graph designs for future use.

Symbol Sprayer
I'm using Illustrator 28.2. Since I've been using this version, the symbol sprayer is acting odd. No matter what size diameter I select, it always sprays a tiny symbol that I have to enlarge. Not that big of a deal, except, most of the time it sprays multiple symbols and I don't know this until I enlarge it. Anyone else experiencing this?
