  1. 24.2.3 → 24.3 アップデートすると、一般の単位がptにリセットされる

    Windows10 / 1909 / 18363.959
    24.2.3 から 24.3 へアップデートしたら、環境設定の単位の一般と線でmmの設定が、Illustrator起動毎にptにリセットされてしまいます。
    設定ファイルの再作成を行っても、環境設定ファイル全体の再作成を行っても解決されません。
    解決出来ないので現在は24.2.3で使用しています。

  3. Blob Brush sticks and then releases when starting a stroke. very annoying

    I have tried everything that I know. n Unchecking GPU Performance is not working. I do a lot of work in blob brush and the attached video shows how annoying this is. I have a Wacom Cintiq 22HD.

  4. Static (not file related)

    I am on a Windows 10, hp. I am not sure what is going on with my Illustrator. I've been using it pretty regularly. Recently it crashed. When I reopened it, there is now some kind of static at the top of the document. It doesn't matter what type of file is open. I have tried opening different Ai files or creating new ones and the static is still there. I have also tried uninstalling/reinstalling/updating etc. Nothing has helped. Every time I move the view or click around, the static moves. I can still work, but it's extremely distracting and…

  6. Illustrator not outlining type correctly

    I've only started to encounter this recently and it doesn't happen with all fonts. When I outline certain typefaces - such as your Source Sans - it outlines parts of some letters individually, such as the bar in the letter 'A' in the attached example, or does some bizarre detour as seen in both the comma and the apostrophe (the two most typical examples I could think of).

    All I am doing is outlining type with no stroke.

    I'm running Illustrator 24.3 and Catalina 10.15.6

  7. No option to stop recording an action when resetting workspace

    When recording an action with Button Mode unchecked in the actions panel, there is currently no way to stop recording the action if you reset your Workspace with your Workspace having button mode enabled. As far as I know, there are also no hotkeys to start/stop recording for Actions either. Forced to restart Illustrator otherwise.

  8. When copying text in Arabic or Hebrew, Illustrator messes up the characters.

    Somehow the text gets flipped into Jibberish. Even when Arabic fonts are used such as Adobe Arabic. This causes the world to be filled with jibberish Hewbrew and Arabic.

  10. Not able to move symbol onto extruded shape

    When I try to move a symbol onto my rectangluar prism that I extruded from a rectangle, it's a total mess. The symbol is a small area in a large bounding box for no apparent reason, and when I try to align the art onto one of the faces, it snaps back to its original position. So I can't move the art to get to the place it needs to be to properly map onto the 3d object. The entire mapping onto an extruded object is broken. In the picture you see the art in a too-big bounding box. Whenever…

  11. SVG Export for ExportOptionsSVG does "Save As" and not an "Export As"

    There is no true option for the File -> Export -> Export As for an SVG, doing app.activeDocument.exportFile( fileSpec, 'SVG', exportOptions ) is actually running the equivalent of File -> Save As SVG... Which produces an AI compatible type SVG but not a fully compatible SVG with other programs.

    It'd be nice to have a true "ExportOptionsCompatibleSVG"

  12. Fonts not being listed in Illustrator when used in a clipping group with transparency effects

    Adobe Illustrator CC 24.3. Windows 10 Pro 1909. OS Build 18363.1082

    Converting fonts to outlines did not catch the ones used in a clipping group with transparency effects. The effect was an embossed look. When the fonts weren't activated for the file, the embossed look changed as it substituted a font, but Illustrator gave no warning and no fonts were listed in the "Find Fonts" panel. The font used in the emboss effect was listed when viewed in Acrobat but not Illustrator.

  14. Area Type Text with Vertical Alignment Breaks in CC Libraries

    It seems if I set an Area Type box to Accent and apply Center Vertical Alignment in the Area Type Options that the text will break up (perhaps by kerning pairs?) once reopened.

    The Area Type text is gone and it's broken up point type.

    If I were to use a standard Area Type box (Baseline: Em Box Height; Vertical Alignment: Top), there's no issue, and the text remains editable as Area Type.

  15. In accurate shapes for extremely small complex shapes

    Windows 10 V24.3
    Open file (new or existing), Specs 10000x5000 px.
    Zoom in to 64000%.
    Select Pencil Tool. Double click settings (ensure color fill).
    No stroke. Any color fill.
    Draw complex, but small shape.
    Problem: Shape is not held. Not enough anchors are added to keep original draw accurate. Add anchor should not be needed for quick workflow.

    In my example. Drawing small lakes on a large world map. This changes the shape of my lakes, or I must make them bigger, but that will change the accuracy of my map.

    This bug seems sporadic as sometimes I can create…

  16. Text Appearance Attributes have a ghost text underneath visible.

    When I add a stroke of white to black fill, there remains, unmovable original beneath. So it shows up where where not desired. See attachments.

  19. ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping broken in 2020

    ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping (set to false)

    In 2019 (23.1), PNGs exported by javascript are trimmed to the visible bounds of the object as expected when false. When true, they're the size of the artboard.

    In 2020 (24.3), the same script always produces PNGs the size of the artboard whatever artBoardClipping is set to.

    Illustrator 24.3 vs Illustrator 23.1
    Windows 10
    Script run via Illustrator (File/Scripts) as well as testing in ETSK 4.0.0.1

    It's a dealbreaker for version 24. We can't upgrade as a team unless this is fixed.

    Completed (Comments Open)  ·  AdminAnkit Goyal(Illustrator Team) (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.3.1 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!

  20. Font linking not working, basic functionality of Illustrator is impaired

    1) Image describes it all. Nobody asked for Adobe Fonts, but if you have to do it please pull it off correctly. If it can't synchronize with mainstream operating systems like Windows 10, then what is the point? Professionals that have to use your software have no spare time to write obvious feedback like this.

    2) I am working in a team that is dependent on a shared Illustrator asset library. It is not updating consistently and it makes life hard for a lot of people that are trying to do their work.

    3) Certainly I am not the first…
