Document Setup - Artboard size not showing cursor
Pre update the artboard size fields (W: and H: fields) after clicking Document Setup button in top toolbar would show cursor position. After updating to 24.2 the cursor is no longer visible. The field will highlight but we are not able to see the cursor position.
Please allow for cursor to be visible inside these fields.

Can't Install or Launch ANY version of AI 2020 after the 24.2 update
On Tuesday (6/16), I updated Illustrator 2020 to version 24.2. I launched it and created a document just fine. Then, Wednesday morning when attempting to launch, I received two different error messages, see below. I have uninstalled and re-installed every version of 2020 now and see the same error messages when I try to open it. I need to have 2020 AND 2019 both on my computer due to a plug-in for a die-cutting plotter (Graphtec plotter; software is Cutting Master 4) that doesn't have an update for AI 2020 available yet. Please help. I am the only designer at…

Reveal in Bridge not working
At first, I was trying to 'Reveal in Bridge'. Bridge would open but wouldn't navigate to my link.
So I updated to the latest version of Illustrator CC (I was one version behind) and now the 'Reveal in Bridge' option is greyed out.
How about a nice 'Reveal in Finder/Explorer' option that we'd all prefer?

Cannot stop Auto Resize on Area Type box for large text areas
I do not want my text box to auto-resize. The "Auto-Resize" option fails on large text box areas. Auto-Resize is turned off in my preferences. I have large text box areas filled with type and whenever I need to make an adjustment to the type box it always automatically resizes. I have tried selecting the "fixed" options and those fail too. In the video attached you can see that large areas of text will automatically resize. However, on a smaller scale the Area Type box does not.

Illustrator causing red screen
I'm using a MacBook Pro 15" , 2019 with MacOS 10.15.5 and Illustrator 24.2.
When I open a file in Illustrator it works fine until I open a second file. When I do this, a red border appears and I cant zoom or work with the file. I tried to delete everything which is installed with Illustrator (Also the .plist files) and tried to reinstall it but the same thing is happening again. Disabling the GPU in settings does fix this issue but using Illustrator on a high-end machine without it's full GPU power is worthless.
I also created a…

Animated zoom malfunction
Hi guys,
I am using a Windows 10 rig, fully patched inkl. all drivers and the latest Adobe product versions. Here's the spec of my rig:
- Core i7 4700K
- 32 GB RAM
- Geforce GTX 770 2 GB GDDR
- SSD Disk
My issue is a malfunction of animated zoom. Normally I am using STRG + SPACEBAR and my mouse to zoom in and out. In small Ai projects with a small amount of layers it works fine.
But, if I illustrate a car, with hundreds of layers at a special moment the animated zoom doesn't work anymore. If I use STRG…
1 voteAnimated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.

Different line thickness in two different panels
The line thickness in the line panel is displayed accurately, however in the overall properties panel it is rounded up to a round number. As seen in the attachment, on the left is the line panel, displaying a thickness of 2,5 points of the selected element, whereas on the right the thickness of the exact same element is shown as 3 points thick.

Allow to isolate a compound path when only a part of it is selected
Since we can't isolate components of compound path and shapes it is strange that Ai won't isolate a whole compound path/shape when you select only a part of it.
Try this:
1. Create compounds path/shape — like a torus
2. Use Direct/Group Selection tool to select only the inner circle if your torus
3. The 'Isolate Selected Object' button won't appear on the Control panel and the assigned hotkey won't do anything.This should be fixed. Ai should allow to isolate a compound path/shape when you select a part of it.
Also, I think that Ai should be able to…14 votes -

Align to key object automatic selection in align Panel
In the new update (24.2) I have "align to artboard" as a default but when I select multiple objects it automatically selects "align to key object" even after choosing the other multiple times. This is a new issue.

We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 24.2.1 which is available worldwide now. Thanks for your patience on this.
Please note that after upgrading you might still see that Align To sets itself to Align to Key Object. If you see this, please manually set the Align To to the required setting, and this reported bug will not happen again. You’ll need to this one time only.
The reason Align To might get set to Key Object after update is because Ai remembers your last Align To on subsequent launches as well. So, if your last Align To was Key Object before quitting/upgrading, after first multi-selection, it will set itself to Key Object. After you manually change it one-time, it will work fine.
