"Horizontal Distribute" buttons broken in Illustrator 24.2.1
Illustrator version 24.2.1 on Mac OS 10.14.6 When multiple objects in a row are selected and any of the Horizontal Distribute buttons are hit, the objects are stacked on top of each other instead of distributed out based on farthest left to right. It appears to be copying the function of Horizontal Align buttons.

New update, stroke profile bug
Just got the latest update and now my Width profile 3 on stroke settings is adding these little rounded bumps to the corners that were (prior to update) sharp. The end points are also slightly curved. Right side does not have bumps but has same curve when points on this profile used to be sharp. All of my settings and prefs have stayed the same. I use this stroke profile alot so I noticed this issue right away. Please fix. Photo attached.
Thanks

Align Text box with Object
Using Windows 7 or High Sierra and Illustrator 24.2
Align text with any object is not aligned properly. Presently it takes text box and actual height/width of text and aligns object width/height.
I understand this is way Illustrator text work, but can changed/update so can properly aligns. Hoping to get it resolved in near coming versions.
The alignment should work like Indesign or any vector program. Check attachment.
3 votesYou can now choose to align to preview bound of a type object, using Align to Glyph Bounds option in Align panel’s menu.
Please comment back if you have any problems with that.

Pathfinder Merge option creates a Trim and NOT a Merge
I am trying to merge two shapes using the Pathfinder > Merge option. Instead of creating a single merged path, the result is the same as a Trim. See attached before and after images
Both paths have the same fill, outline, and transparency properties. Neither path is part of a Group or Compound shape.
I have also shut down and restarted Illustrator and also my computer and still get the same outcome.
I can work around this with manual work, but this tool should be working.
Thanks for your attention to this issue :)

Can't create artboard from rectangle - Illustrator 24.2
That's all. It says that it can't create artoboards from rotated rectangles or masks. It's a freshly created rectangle.
This version of AI seems to be very buggy.

A layer name with Emoji brakes a layer window
When an artwork contains a layer whose name has emoji such as 👍, a layer window is broken. Interfaces (Eye or lock icons, thumbnail or name) of several layers or groups will disappear and lost controlled. Fortunately, I knew which layer name has emoji so that it has been recovered by deleting the emoji.

Password Protection in PDF file disappears after changes and saving a PDF file
When we password protect PDF in Illustrator the Password protection disappears if we make some changes and just save the file without put in the password again. Same if we open an pdf file with password protection, make changes and just save the file the password disappears. We didn't need to put in password eveytime when we saved the file after put in a password on earlier version. Is this something wrong with the new version or shall it be like this? Please put back old function or make a pop up box that ask for password if the file…

Creating Halftones Quality Has Decreased
I am beyond frustrated with what used to be a smooth, simple rendering process for creating halftones. I do what most do: create the shape with a black to white gradient > create setting under Color Halftone > Expand Appearance > Image Trace > Expand Appearance (again). Boom, done.
Howevre, please refer to my image below. From left to right, this is what is happening now with the current software. First on the left is the gradient shape. Next is the effect if you apply the color halftone. So far no issues. But as soon as you apply Image Trace,…

Adobe Illustrator 24.2 64-bit
Windows 10 HomeSo I thought it was my corsair scimitar pro was the problem, but outside adobe, my mouse seems to work fine.
the issue is, when I work in illustrator, my mouse acts like I released my left mouse button. So for example, when I'm making a rectangle, it sometimes randomly stops making the rectangle like I release my button. Or when dragging it releases.. anybody having this issue?

Hide edges not working
When choosing to hide edges of selected objects, 1 or more objects still have edges visible. I have resorted to back saving my documents as this feature is crucial for layouts.
4 votesAs far as I know, the auto-keying an object in a selection was a bug introduced in one of versions, not caught in time and slipped into the release, later fixed.
Since no object is forced as a key right now, I assume there is no need in having its bold outline to be hidden when Hide Edges is active, since these two factors rarely meet... However, if you have a workflow that requires to have both — I encourage you to file it as a feature request with some examples.

Rotate tool
in Illustrator 24.2 the rotate tool often seems to default back to random numbers now instead of to the last used or something that might make sense (eg 90). eg 93.24

SVG files not properly being displayed in Adobe Illustrator
SVG files are not opening properly in Adobe Illustrator. I can open them in browsers or in Inkscape with no issue. When I open them up in Adobe Illustrator, they are rendered and displayed incorrectly.

Move tool lags and I can't move my layers.
I don't have any ideas necessarily. Just want the features provided to work normally. I can't even use my move tool without the program lagging. Also, it's nearly impossible to organize my layers because Illustrator doesn't allow me to move them. It makes tasks that should take 1 second to do take 5 mins. Which makes it impossible to get anything done.
