  1. Touchscreen drawing not working

    I am on a Lenovo IdeaPad, and the touchscreen drawing does not work even in touchscreen mode. Rarely will it show what I drew and even then, it is after I have lifted my finger. I can only really place dots. Also, pinch-to-zoom doesn't work. Seems to be related to this forum post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/unable-to-draw-with-a-pen-on-touch-screen-on-windows/m-p/11376148

  3. Some process, probably library syncing, overwrote graphic updates

    Almost lost half a day's work. Though I lost a bunch of time and productivity figuring out how to get it back.

    A library graphic got overwritten by an older version of that library graphic by something other than a human being.

    I was working in Illustrator 26.0.1 and Photoshop 22.5.2 at the same time on a Windows 10 machine. I had the graphic as a Smart Object in Photoshop. But since it's a graphic it was being edited in Illustrator.

    I also had Illustrator 26.0.1 opened on my Windows 10 laptop cause that's where I do my pen work,…

  4. Locked and/or hidden objects still become selected

    The object is locked and/or not visible, yet when the layer is selected, all objects including the locked and hidden objects become selected and move when they should not.

  7. Illustrator's Round Outline Bevel with Standard Lighting Causes Weird Shadow

    Added a custom "round outline" bevel with "standard" lighting and ended up with a weird shadow effect in the upper-right corner of the 'g' in this logo that I can't seem to get straightened out. It seems to be a bug in the overall process.

  12. AMD Radeon Pro 580 rendering bug

    Hi, I have a 2017 iMac Retina 5k 27", 64GB RAM, Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 with AMD Radeon Pro 580 GPU, 8Gb VRAM, driver version 01.00.931, Illustrator 25.4.1. I am getting odd effects in rendering of linear gradients where angular areas of colour appear at higher magnifications. If the GPU is turned off in Illustrator prefs the effect disappears. Please see screenshot attached showing the effect with GPU. Is there a fix for this, please?

  13. Guides are invisible

    The update made my guides disappear unless I click on the object or artboard. It would be OK, but when I use the arrows to move the guides they disappear and I can't see how far I have moved them. May I change this update back to how it was.

  14. Some shortcuts don't work while using non-English keyboard / language layout

    After upgrading to AI 26.0 (and still not fixed in 26.0.1) some shortcuts stopped working, like those:
    - Show/hide layers = cmd + ;
    - Lock selection = cmd + 2

    It seems that all shortcuts with czech letters on the keyboard instead of US are affected. To be clear:
    - On us keyboard there is ";" key, but on the Czech keyboard, there is "ů" letter.
    - The same for the letter "2" on US, on the Czech keyboard, there is "ě" letter.

    Possible fix: to keep logic as before, when everything worked, you have to work with hardware…

  15. Illustrator 2022 DOES NOT OPEN.

    This new Illustrator update DOES NOT WORK. Just installed the new 2022 update yesterday 11/01, and it worked for half the day, and in the second half, the app refused to open. Tried again this morning 11/02, and there was a small update to Illustrator, so in hopes of fixing the issue from yesterday, I installed the update, and guess what, still broken. I reinstalled the past version of Illustrator, and that doesn't work now either. I'm not telling you how to do your job Adobe, but for me to do my job, I need Illustrator to work. If you…

    This is embarrassing and incredibly sad to hear. I can’t imagine to be cut off a my main tool when I need it.
    I guess the only option you can try is to clean all the traces of previous versions installed with the Cleaner Tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html), install 2021 version and hope it work.
    So sorry it happened, and I wish I could do more.
    Please add votes to this if you experience the same issue, it will help to initiate a proper investigation.

  16. Illustrator 2022 Ver 26.0.1: Freezes/Crashes on Exit

    Illustrator 2022 works fine, launches as usual. Yet when exiting the software, no matter if used or not, it freezes. The only way to properly exit the app is via Task Manager: End Process.

    Software has already been stress tested, cleaned up and reinstalled. Issue doesn't persist in previous version.

    Installed on ‎20-‎Jun-‎21
    OS build 19043.1288

  17. テキスト操作時のIビームの点滅が早すぎる

    Illustrator 26.0 (Intel/Ja_JP)
    macOS10.15.7

    テキスト入力時のIビームのフリッカが強すぎる。Tツールにてマウスカーソルを移動し挿入点を変更した際に特に早くなります。現象の動画を添付します。
    入力時はカーソル付近を注視するため図形明滅刺激の影響による健康被害の発生につながる可能性もあります。ver.25の仕様に戻していただきたいと思います。
    また、M1でも同様の挙動との報告を受けております。

  20. Inability to add graphics in libraries

    This is a bug. This is where Adobe informs me to report a bug. For the record this must be said right away.

    I made a library and could initially add graphics to that library, but all of a sudden graphics wouldn't add itself whether I dragged or specifically selected "add ...".

    It added an irrelevant fill color instead.
