Unwanted automatic grouping of compound paths with blob brush tool
When I draw too close to an existing path/compound path with the blob brush, it automatically groups the two (SEPERATE!) path together.
It is "solved" if I check "merge only with selection" but that is not a real fix.https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/unwanted-grouping/m-p/12309007#M286929 see this thread for more on this issue.
On MacBook Air M1, newest update, using wacom tablet. It did not ever happen before.

Artboard's anchor points not working as expected.
Illustrator 25.4.1, Windows 10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1110
I am trying to set the size of the artboard to the dimensions of certain elements in the drawing.
For this I would pick an anchor point of an artboard and align it with an anchorpoint of an object, smart guides and every necessary snap option is active.
However, the result is that the artboard is always off.
After trying for some time I found out that it's not the anchor point of the artboard that is aligned with the other anchor point, but the cursor. And the cursor is always a…1 vote -

Preview Pen tool line colour change
In previous versions of illustrator the layer colour defined the preview colour line when using the pen tool. In recent versions the preview is automatically. Set to a dark blue colour and i can't work out how to change this.
This tiny little change is causing me much grief, because in my artwork i draw on black shapes all the time and because the colour is dark blue, i can hardly make out what I'm drawing. I used to pick fluro pink, so I can easily see this line.
PLEASE HELP
I'm using surface book 2, windows 10, latest version…

Dragging a gradient slider stop changes the opacity of other stops on the slider
Hi all.
Since I was asked by one of the Adobe employees, here's my post.
Windows 10.I am getting seriously miffed. After using Illustrator ever since the nineties I can no longer do what I need so, so often: duplicating a color stop in a gradient while keeping the other stops as they are.
Say I have the following:
Stop 1 - position 0 - Opacity 0
Stop 2 - position 25 - Opacity 100
Stop 3 - position 75 - Opacity 100
Stop 5 - position 100 - Opacity 0I need a zero opacity stop on position…

Program Unresponsive, gets confused & Forgets what is active, Illustrator Beta 25.5.360. Apple M1
Program will have items highlighted either in Artboard or normal view modes. Deleting stops working. Pointer moves. Re-Highlight stuff, and it will delete or accept type. It's like the program forgets what is active various things.

Please stop Illustrator coming to the foreground after exporting
After exporting to screens, which may take several seconds, I usually switch to the the application that receives the exported files and I continue working there.
Annoyingly, after finishing exporting the files, Illustrator pushes its way back to the foreground so that I have to switch back to the other app I was working on.
Can you stop this from happening please and leave Illustrator in the background after it has finished?2 votes -
The colors in the closed file are persistently and almost forcibly trying to enter the palette.
Let's say a spot color was used in a previous work and somehow copied. Later, when the file job is finished and I start another new job even though I have closed it, the copied color in the closed file persistently and almost forcibly tries to enter the palette. I tried to describe it simply in the video.

Strange symbol ('envelope' sign) appears at the end of pasted text
Why does the envelope sign appear when I copy text from somewhere else (like HEX color code copied or translation result text form Google Translate) and paste it into Illustrator?
Happens only on Windows it seems.

The artboard names and numbers dissapeared in 25.4.1
I can still see the grey box in the top left corner of the artboards, but the names and numbers are gone. It started when I updated Illustrator to 25.3.1. I thought the issue would be solved in this new update but it is still there

Annoying undo behaviour - please don't undo the values in the dialogs
It has been like this forever but it is very annoying all the same: when you have selected an object and you hit Return to move it by a value of n px, and you undo that action, the x and y values in the Move dialog have been restored to their former value. 99% of the time this is annoying and not what I need. I want the value to be remembered and not undone. I only want the OPERATION to be undone.

Dashed line not working
I have the latest build of Illustrator 2021 for macOS Big Sur. When I try to apply the dashed line feature to lines or shapes, the effect does not show up. It’s as if I never clicked it. What’s going on here? I’ve never experienced this in past versions of Illustrator. I even tried deleting my preferences. Still nothing. This is so frustrating!

Refreshing the display with GPU-View activated seems to be buggy
While some of the GPU-related glitches seem to be fixed wich the actual Version 25.4 (at least on my iMac here), there is still some strange behaviour that seems to occur on every version newer than 25.0:
Everytime I open a document, the workspace turns black for a moment. That is not a big problem, but strange, as it never happened in 25.0 or older.
Second, there are quite often problems in refreshing the display, when moving around in the illustration or copying/dragging objects around. The display gets crippled (blank spaces, where they should not be) and I have to…
