1. High Sierra (macOS 10.13) GPU rendering issues with RGB document - Intel Graphics

   Illustrator 21.1.0 has issues with GPU rendering in the latest High Sierra public betas:

   Paths will appear jagged and generally do not display correctly.

   Altering the zoom level affects these artefacts.

   Switching off GPU rendering altogether fixes the issue but this way, performance is obviously affected.

   Additional Note: Works correctly in CMYK document.

2. Object size change?

   Now, the transformation panel reflects the size of a shape plus the thickness of the outline if there is one.
   For example, a rectangle of 100x100 with an outline (in the middle) of 1 displays a size of 101x101, 102x102 if the outline is external and 100x100 if the outline is internal.
   It's a very confusing change! The previous behavior was much more talkative.
   I understand that this reflects the actual size, including the outline thickness, but this should be an option. I did not see myself 3 decimal digits when I want a rectangle of 100x100! :)

   If this happens for you, please check the 'Use Preview Bounds' in Preferences > General. When it’s enabled, Ai will treat strokes and effects as a part of the object’s bounds.

3. Copy text from illustrator and paste into word pastes as image and not editable text

   Illustrator CC 22.1.
   Mack book pro MacOS high Sierra Version10.13.6.
   Microsoft Word Version16.23 (190309)

   Copy text from illustrator (Command C) and paste it into Word (Command V) using shortcuts on keyboard the text does not come in to word as editable text but as a picture that I cannot edit.

   I copy text from illustrator and past it into Word for editing and then past it back into Illustrator when I am done with the word editing. I do this for technical drawings, sketchbooks and any other 2D design and presentation work.
   Since 2011 until 2018 I was able to use my keyboard shortcuts to copy text from Illustrator and paste it into Word for editing and refining. This is a proses I do numerus times a day (sometimes hundreds) as this is part of my main workload. Like I said this used to work fine for many years. Since 2018 I have not been able to paste text into Word using the Command V shortcut. Since then the text gets pasted into Word as a picture that I cannot edit.
   I know it is possible to past the text into word by using the “paste” drop down menu and select Keep text only, but this is cumbersome and disrupts my workflow. I would like to use the keyboard shortcut (Command V) to past into word.
   Copying from word and pasting it back to Illustrator is no problem.

   Idea: make it possible to use shortcuts on keyboard to paste into word and it pastes as editable tex (Like I was Able to do before for many years)

   If you right click in word you should get a paste as text option.
   Can you please contact Microsoft support. Like most applications we do promise text in clipboard along with other formats like svg, metafile etc…
   It is for word to pick any of these clipboard formats and consume.

4. Pixel number inconsistency

   Windows 10? (most recent and just updated yesterday)
   Illustrator 22.1 (64bit)

   When I told Illustrator to create an artboard of 350x350 pixels, I thought it could actually do so. That was the template image size that our web designer propogated across our entire website.

   Then I exported 11 images from Illustrator to .png format to re-build one of our webpages. They came out as 1459x1459. Now I will resize them in Microsoft Paint. They'll pixelate and probably look like trash. All because Illustrator can't understand "350 pixels x 350 pixels" on the Create New prompt window.

   Flaming dumpster fire. I am inexpressibly frustrated that I have to pay you over $400 annually for a flaming dumpster fire of a product.

   The intended way to ensure your pixel-sized document stays the same size after export is to use the default screen resolution — 72 PPI.

   If you set anything else, Illustrator will scale the image  accordingly (as if the 'Resample' option in Photoshop is ticked when you resize an image).

   There is no way to write a custom resolution AND maintain the desired size at the same time.

   The reasoning behind this behaviour is that the resolution value is supposed irrelevant when an image’s intent is Screen or Web. An image can have no resolution value stored in it at all, it’s just an optional coefficient, and then different viewers and editors suppose a value on their own — usually 72 PPI (Mac-style) or 96 PPI (Windows-style).

   Unlike other editors, Illustrator has a continuous range for all measurements units. One pixel is considered to be equal one point, and a point is 1/72 of an inch (in PostScript tradition), and inch is exactly 2.54 mm. This continuity allows to mix digital and print media assets.

   TLDR

   If you design in pixels and export images for screen intent — use 72 PPI.

   If you design for print and export images in inches or millimeters or other real-world units — use any other resolution.

   However, comments about this are welcome. World changes constantly, and the once obvious solution might not be clear for new generations. Please share your thoughts.

   Hi,

   The attached screenshot displays the FILL color underneath the CHARACTERS in the APPEARANCE panel therefore any change applied to the FILL will not be displayed, to display it correctly please move the FILL color row on top of the CHARACTER row (Click & Drag) in the Appearance panel.

   Hope this helps to resolve this issue.

6. Workspace panels move on their own

   While using the new Illustrator CC v.23, the workspace will randomly move around and cover up the artboard that I am working on. I can simply click "reset workspace" and it's back to normal it is very frequently that the workspaces move around randomly. Please fix, Thanks.

    Illustrator refuses to print even small 8.5 x 11 files to our desktop printer. This is an essential part of this program and severely impacts my ability to design and create production files when I cannot print out a simple proof without exporting it to a PDF before Printing.

12. Stop asking about switching to the Touch interface

    I have a laptop with a touch screen (that I never use, and never intend to use). Every time I open Illustrator, it tells me that it has detected that I am using a touch enabled screen and asks if I want to switch. I would be VERY appreciative if you could make this pop up with a "don't ask me again on this computer" checkbox as it is really annoying as it not always obvious that it has popped up and it makes the screen unresponsive.

    The artwork has a small black dot on the right side, far away from the artboard. Watch closely at the right side of your 11×17.jpg image to notice it.
    And export options were probably without ‘Use artboards’ tick.

    P.S. Please always provide the file you have problems with!

14. Pathfinder Merge actually Dividing, leaving cut out objects behind

    This might be easier to read on the forums where the images are inline with the explanation, but I copy pasted everything here anyway. Here's the thread.

    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2601397

    This has been a thorn in my side for so long I can no longer ignore it. I don't know when it happened but at some point Illustrator's Merge tool started dividing objects instead of merging them, and leaves behind cut up versions of objects that are behind the visible objects.

    MacBook Pro 15 2017
    macOS Mojave Version 10.14.2
    2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB memory
    using Illustrator CC 2019 version 23.0.2

    I'm pretty sure this still happens on my windows 10 computer at home as well.

    Interestingly, if I have only a few objects involved, it merges just fine, but when I'm working on logos that are even minutely complex it pitches a fit. I've expanded appearance, expanded text, expanded strokes, ungrouped objects, and put them all on the same layer and it still doesn't work. Thing is, the objects I'm merging aren't even terribly complex, and as a test I made 15 rectangles of various colors (some the same and some different) and had them overlapping in various ways.

    Screen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.06.07 PM.png
    Here you see the objects selected so you can see the outlines and how the layers are organized.
    Screen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.06.16 PM.pngScreen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.09.32 PM.png
    Here's what happens when I try to merge (you can barely see the gaps that show the color behind themScreen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.06.34 PM.png
    I moved part of the blue area at the top to show the navy object underneath has not been deleted.
    Screen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.14.20 PM.png
    So with the objects now properly ruined, here's what the layers look like.
    Screen Shot 2019-03-05 at 4.23.59 PM.png
    In the old days Merge would merge all like colors that are visible and delete anything behind them. Now it divides and leave colors behind so there's a ton of extra, useless, objects left behind that get in the way when I'm forced to unite the mess together manually afterwards.

    But even with simple blocks of color, not that many points, no groups, and a mere 15 objects merge won't work.

    If anyone has any solutions to this you'd earn my undying gratitude.

    Thanks.

    The objects had the Overprint attribute checked in Attributes panel. With this option on Illustrator leaves fragments unmerged to match the assumed intention behind having Overprint one. This is a normal expected behaviour, but not a transparent one.

    If you have this problem, don’t hesitate to leave the comment to force the team to rethink the UX behind this.

    Hi Jan,

    Your New swatch option is disabled since the Stroke Color is set to None. New swatch functionality by default takes the current color.
    If you apply some color to Stroke, the option will get enabled, similarly if you change Fill to None, it will be disabled for Fill as well.

    Hope This helps.

17. Anchor Points Malfunctioning

The shape will look the same once drawn with the Pen Tool, and the anchor points will still be there, but they are invisible. They can still be tampered with, but after releasing the mouse they will disappear. The same issue applies to the rectangular grid tool. Anchor points can be edited and seen with the curvature tool; that is about the only way to do so without the anchor point disappearing after the mouse ceases hovering over the point.

    Another issue regards the Selection Tool. When I click an object, a rectangular box of my selected layer color appears around said object, but no outline appears around the object. For example, if I draw a spiral and select it, a box will appear around the spiral, but the spiral itself will not be outlined in my layer color.

    I would show you a screenshot of the issue, but Illustrator deselects before I can take a proper screenshot.

18. Oversize UI Elements in Ai 2019

    I noticed that with the 2019 version of Illustrator (23.0), the entire UI of the software seems to be "supersized." It is as if every pixel is now rendered oversized. Not just in the drawing area, but all the tools, controls, panels, everything.

    I've attached a "full screen" screen shot of the 2019 (v. 23.0) welcome screen, and the (reinstalled) 2018 (v. 22.1) welcome screen. Both are maximized on the same physical screen, the display on my MacBook Pro. See how the buttons and other elements are larger in the 2019 version? Like it is somehow zoomed in.

    I do not believe this is the same as the "Actual Size" feature/bug mentioned elsewhere, as it seems to effect the entire User Interface, although it could be related.

    MacOS Sierra (10.12.6), MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Please refer to the link below to understand how to use Illustrator’s preference dialog to set the scale.

19. "Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group." Does not work.

    "Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group."

    Very simple, right? We've all been able to do it forever.

    Well, I don't want to be overly unpleasant about this, but, having finally upgraded from Adobe CS5 to Adobe CC, I find that this most basic of actions is unperformable on my computer. It worked in CS5.

    It's the newest version of Mojave, 10.14.3, and the newest version of Illustrator, on account of me having just installed it.

20. Pen tool rapidly changes to selection tool arrow glitch

    Pen tool rapidly changes to selection tool arrow when I move the cursor. OS 10.14.3 / Ai CC 23.0.2. On wacom tablet. The pen tool icon changes every micro-second to the selection tool icon and back again. Very hard to work this way. If I more my stylus even a tiny bit it happens. I have the pen tool selected in the toolbox.
