  1. Object being selected without mouse even being over said object

    I really don't know how to best describe this issue, but an object placed in my file is being selected when I click within a radius around the object, but not actually on it. It's a very strange issue and makes it difficult for me to select things around the object.

    See video for clarification (logo blurred because this is a clients project).

  2. Export for Screens mess up Blacks when exporting PDFs

    When using Export for Screen to Export PDFs, the blacks are messed up.

    Attached, you see a picture of the two PDFs opened in Edge. The left one is saved with "Save a Copy…” command. Right one is exported with Export for Screens utility.

    All the blacks in AI file are 100K. For some reason, Export for Screen mess them up. The right one.

    Every time I open Illustrator, half of my workday goes in debugging this kind of annoying things. I so much hate Illustrator.

  4. SVG doesn't save unless move

    This bug has been around a while - SVG images won't save unless some part of it is moved. If it isn't moved, it treats it like nothing was ever changed and doesn't save, even when closing the tab without saving, the dialog box doesn't appear. This is annoying, since I often change just the colour of an icon, and have to move the icon a bit, just to get it to save.

  5. Too many brushes saved in Print.ai (Print.ai = 300 MB) disable Trim View, despite 32 GB RAM

    Trim View still worked in a new doc based on my Print.ai, until I opened the brushes tab, then it got disabled.

  7. Arial Bold comes out very condensed

    when i use Arial bold in default settings, it looks skinny. I will have to to stretch the width to 250% to make it look normal. See image please...

  11. Recent files not showing on home screen...only recent cloud documents

    My home screen only shows previous cloud documents. I work off of a network and do not use the cloud. This is on my work computer and my home computer after the update to 27.0. I do not need to see my recent cloud documents...just the ones on my computer and network.

  12. Small objects don’t have corner widgets displayed

    Small objects don’t have corners widgets displayed.

    Take a look at the test file with small 3 rectangles.

    The largest one does have its widgets, but two smaller ones don’t.
    Once you scale them up to 110%, the middle one now has them.
    Another scaling up — all three now have them.

    Yes, these are very small, hardly larger than 1 pixel! But what a difference it makes for a user? None, really. Ai is capable to display all of them and allow tiny transformation, like this scaling up. Why does rounding some corners should be anything different?

  13. copypaste

    Ich arbeite mit verschiedenen Vektorprogrammen, wobei mir AI als Start und Finalbearbeitungsprogramm dient. Normalerweise öffne ich Dateien in AI und transferiere sie dann per CopyPaste in andere Vektorprogramme, hier z.B. Freehand. Dabei kopiere ich Vektorgrafiken.

    Seit ein paar Tagen funktioniert dies nicht mehr. In der Zielsoftware erscheint statt der Vektorgrafik eine Pixelgrafik. Was muss ich in den Einstellungen ändern, damit ich die Vektoren transferieren kann? Oder muss ich eine ältere Version von AI installieren?

  14. Can't recolour a shape or object

    I can't seem to recolour shapes or objects in the latest version of Illustrator. Normally, I would be able to insert a hex code, press enter and it'll be done.

    However, now, I have to insert the hex code and click on one of the other boxes for the colour to load before pressing enter. In this case, sometimes the wrong colour appears and I'd have to adjust the RGB/CMYK/HSB numbers to get the right colour. This happened when I was trying to insert a thistle colour and ended up with beige.

    Even worse, I sometimes enter the hex code…

  15. Linked Text Boxes DEFORM

    When spreading text over more than one text box, the first one is fine, but any consecutive one deforms so the copy is stretched.

  16. Dashed lines changing style when exporting to SVG

    The latest update to AI has caused this issue. When exporting an svg with dashed lines, the svg's dashed lines either disappear or become dotted lines.

    Operating System: Windows 10 Enterprise
    Adobe Illustrator version: 27.0
    Steps:
    1) Open Adobe Illustrator
    2) Create a new file
    3) Draw a line
    4) Open the properties window by going to Window > Properties
    5) Click on the Stroke option
    6) Check "Dashed Line" on
    7) Set the first "dash" to 10
    8) Make sure the rest of the "gap" and "dash" options are blank
    9) Go to File > Export > Export As…

  17. Effekt Transformieren

    Ich erstelle gerade Seamless Pattern. Eigentlich sollte der Effekt eine Kachelung ohne Fugen erstellen. Tut er aber nicht. Es entsteht jedes mal eine Fuge zwischen den einzelnen Kacheln. Und diese Fuge sollte nicht da sein

  18. two fingers touchpad navigation bug

    When I am using two fingers on touchpad to navigate through document, the movement is not fluid - it's like playing game on low FPS. When I am using spacebar + mouse to navigate - its fine.

  19. Glyphs in a type on a path are placed wrong, rotate and shift

    Type on a path seems to be glitching. There may be some setting I'm overlooking, but it's certainly never been an issue before my last update. Characters are rotating and randomly spacing along a smooth, curved path, as if there were sharp turns in the path.

    Also, if I'm using type-along-a-path and then scale the objects with the text still live, the text will often glitch and then even if I undo the scale, it remains glitched.
