  2. Custom guides make Illustrator unusable when viewed as dots

    I've made guides out of a large number of lines (forming an iso grid). This works fine as long as I am viewing the guides as lines, but when changing the view to Dots in settings, Illustrator get so slow that I can't even move around in the document. I am using Windows 10 version 26.1. I also have v25.4.1 installed and it is the same thing there.

    Maybe it would be less performance demanding if we could set transparancy on guides instead of using dots?

  3. Actions 'broken' 26.2.1

    Mac Mini M1
    Big sur 11.6.5
    Illustrator 26.2.1

    Trying to perform an action in a folder (save .ai to .eps) crashes illustrator at random moments, never ends.
    This action in 26.1 and before releases works perfect, same folder, same files.

  4. Swatch & Tool Names don't appear when I pause/hover the cursor over them.

    MacOs Monterey 12.0.1
    Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1

    When you hover over a swatch or tool & leave the cursor there for a second, the name of the swatch/tool always showed along with keyboard shortcuts for many of the tools.

    I was searching the Pantone colors & two colors came up. Rather than just one quick step, I had to do several.

    What should happen:
    I hover the cursor over the colors for a second to see which was which. Then I pick the one I was looking for.

    What happens now:
    I hover the cursor over the colors & nothing shows…

  5. Can't open AI files until I delete settings

    Every time I try to open a file, I get the beach ball of death...spinning forever.
    I've discovered the only way to get illustrator (beta or release versions) to open a file again is to delete the settings in the Library and restart AI

    /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator version-number Settings

  6. bounding box off centered or not aligned to object correctly

    The bounding box is off centered on my objects. I have all of the "Snap to.." options off, Preview bounds is off and I do not have any of the "align to pixel grid" options on. I created a new file and did a random rectangle and it is still off, but not as severe on the file that I am working on. I did try the "Reset bounding box" option and nothing changed. The screenshots are all objects without a stroke. I am on a Mac. I don't see this problem on the PC.

  7. Find/Replace issue

    The Find/Replace function is not replacing the string I am requesting. Maybe one or two items of many will change.

    We work with hundreds of serial numbers at a time, and the working function is
    essential to timely delivery of our services. We depend on this to change several serial prefixes at a time. Now I have to individually change each single serial number manually instead of just Finding/Replacing the prefix.
    What is going on with this product? I've never had so many glitches to deal with until this product (latest version) went to Cloud. Please, please let us go…

  9. New & Save As

    New & Save As is not working in Illustrator. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, made sure all the preferences are the same, but there still seems to be the same issue. Is there going to be an update to fix this or is there something I can do my end to fix it? Thank you.

  10. Recording Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical as an Action and running it crashes Illustrator

    Create new action
    Assign F4 as shortcut key
    Record "Flip horizontal" under Transform panel menu
    Stop recording
    Select an object
    Press F4

    This also happens with Flip Vertical as an action. Does this in any document.

  13. Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1

    Hello,

    I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

  15. Applying Recolor to selected instances of a symbol recolors the original symbol

    If I want to change colors for selected dynamic symbols, using Recolor will affect not local colors, but the original symbol.
    This makes little sense. If I wanted to change the original symbol, I'd edited it and made the changes directly to it. If I have a selection, I mean to change symbols in it only.

    To workaround it I can isolate my selection by locking/hiding objects I don't want to affect and use Select Same commands to recolor parts of symbols one at a time.

  16. Repeat on-screen controls work wrong when Bounding Box is off

    When bounding box is off, splitter control is rendered, but does not work, and instances control is missing completely.
    Having the bounding box turned off does not mean a user does not want to have repeat controls. So they should be A) completely hidden, or B) shown and be completely working.

  18. Not Saving

    Illustrator saving suddenly stops working. I use a shortcut for SAVE AS, EXPORT AS, SAVE A COPY and all of a sudden nothing happens when I go to save. Only saves with Save/Cmd+S. Only restarting Ai helps. It was doing this before but now it's several times a day since updating to macOS Monterey 12.3.1. (Also happens with Ps.)

    Ai version v. 26.2.1

  20. "Align dash to corners and path ends" is broken in 2022.

    See title.

    Here's two screengrabs of 2021 and 2022 with the following done in them:

    1. Draw an 800x800 pt circle in the middle of the canvas.
    2. Set the stroke to 800px wide, black, dashed line on, 12pt in the first dash box, no other gaps/dashes, turn on "align dash to corners and path ends".

    2021 renders evenly, as expected, 2022 has the dashes at weird off-kilter angles.

    2022 will render evenly if I switch to "preserve exact dash and gap lengths".

    Observed on 26.0.2, both with my usual plugins and with them removed, maybe i'll try updating later today to…
