  2. Grayscale Swatches interpreted as CMYK

    In an RGB color mode, a created Grayscale Swatch does not survive. When copying and pasting an object colored with such a swatch results in a warning. I think this is because the swatch is seen as a CMYK-swatch ny the clipboard and not recognized as created in an RGB situation.

  3. ドロップシャドウを適用したオブジェクトをグレースケールに変換するとシャドウ部分がマスクされてしまう

    macOS10.15.6 Illustrator ver.25.2.3

    再現手順:
    1.長方形を作成し塗りを設定し、「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」を適用する。
    2.1のオブジェクトを選択した状態で「編集→カラーの編集→グレースケールに変換」を適用する。
    3.オブジェクトの下に適用されているドロップシャドウ部分がオリジナルの長方形をドロップシャドウパネルの「X軸オフセット・Y軸オフセット」分移動した状態の図形にてマスクされる。
    4.「分割・拡張」を適用してアピアランスを分割するとマスクされた状態でビットマップに落とされる。

    期待する結果:
    シャドウをクリッピングせずにカラーの変更のみ行う。

    実際の結果:
    シャドウがクリッピングされてしまう。

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.4.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  6. Shape tool bug

    I have opened Illustrator today and a troubleshooting message appears where the shape tool is not working. Illustrator has since opened, and the shape tool is no longer there on the toolbar.

    Please can you assist and fix ASAP?

  10. Bug with text with DXF exported from Illustrator

    With the new update 25.2.3 I have problems exporting DXF files from Illustrator.

    Each time I do it the texts change of size to a very, very small one.

    I export graphics to use them in Automatized Cut Machines but the texts do not appear in the right size. I had to keep and old version of illustrator 25.0 in order to be able to still use those machines.

    What can I do?

  11. Layers gone

    When I opened the Illustrator file in latest version, all my layers were gone and a bunch of clipping paths created. Also the selection tool has a weird symbol like a cross-hatch and no longer selects objects.
    Illustrator has broken my file.

  13. After Big Sur upgrade

    I am having a lot of issues with Illustrator 2021 after Big Sur upgrade.

    Directional tool continues to change on it's own, and duplicates.
    Pencil tool gets stuck on straight line and won't allow me to change it.
    Object/Transform/Reflect causes a duplicate, and won't transform until I delete the copy.
    Cannot click off to deselect an object. I have to go to menu to deselect all.
    Keeps automatically checking Perspective Grid, snap to grid. I don't do it, but I have to go and uncheck it all the time.
    When program crashes it doesn't recover anything, even though I have…

  14. SVG Export - Compound Paths Cause Performance Issues & Unexpected Results

    Windows 10, Illustrator 25.2.3 | System info attached and repro file attached.

    There are 2 artboards and asset exports defined in the file.

    They are the same illustration with 1 difference - the "grouped" version has a set of paths grouped together, and the "compound" version has those same paths combined into a compound path.

    I ran 3 test exports with my repro file, increasing paths: first 500 paths, then 1000 paths, and finally 1500 paths. Here's the export times:

    Test 1 | 0500 paths | Grouped: 10 seconds | Compound: 130 seconds
    Test 2 | 1000 paths | Grouped:…

  15. Inconsistent color

    With the new CC update, I can't calibrate colour across apps using Color Settings in Bridge. This started happening often on the previous release, but I was able to fix it by resetting this in Bridge. Now, it doesn't work. See attached – same Pantone colour (50% of Pantone Bridge 7500) in InDesign and Illustrator. The InDesign is accurate; Illustrator is not. Nothing I do seems to help. I may revert to older Bridge and Photoshop until you sort this out.

  16. I have so much problem with the updated Illustrator and this is not any Idea

    I am a designer at a Sign business and after the update I can't make a functioning stroke. It will add a red line around the stroke when printing and I can't make the stroke work at all. Today I made a new document added text and was supposed to add blue color to the text and it will not add it in the new document but it still will in the other open document I have. I have so much problem I would easily change to some other program but there is noting else I can use as I…

  18. Artwork from CC Libraries doesn't keep its name when placed into other apps

    It used to be that when you added AI artwork into a CC library and gave it a name there, it kept its name when the artwork was placed into for example InDesign document. All my libraries have artwork with names, but when I place any of them into InDesign it simply shows up as "Artwork 1.ai" in Links. However, this doesn't seem to be buggy for all artwork in the CC libraries, just new ones I created in the last few days.

  19. Blurry Cloud Preview

    Maybe this is a bug or a new feature request but when I share an Illustrator file for review via Creative Cloud the preview is showing all artboards with no ability to jump between artboards. When I try to zoom in to preview assets its just a blurry mess. See attached.

  20. CFF font outline rendering issue

    I have received a font quality complaint which seems to be related to Adobe Illustrator 2021. It does not occur in versions 2019 and 2020. In the app viewport, some outlines have kinks which are not part of vector outlines (image 1). When converted to outlines, the paths are clean, however the bump is still being rendered (image 2). In a png output file the bump is not present either (image 3). It seems to be a viewport rasterizer failure rather than font flaw. Please let me know if any additional information is required. I might not be able to…
