    When I select a line of type with the Type Tool it shows as 100% Normal Transparency, however if I select that same line of type with the Selection Tool it displays as Normal 100%. How is this possible?

  5. CC Library Character Styles Set Leading to .01pt

    Character Style works fine in Character styles panel, but using Character Styles saved in a CC Library, results in leading being set to .01pt.

    This is with a style saved from document to library, or created directly in CC library.

  8. Can't record an action “Export for screen” in illustrator V24.1.1 Windows user

    What I'm trying to do is save time when I'm saving files. I can't find an appropriate solution for my use case. The "export for screens" interface seems to be the closest solution, I'm trying to add an action for "Export For Screen" but not showing any action please help me. Action not recording export for the screen (Alt+Ctrl+E) PNG

    have a variable in Illustrator and I want to get png output automatically but it doesn't work when I want to record the action..

    When I want to get a pdf output, everything is OK

    But no png

    Please test…

  11. Scale Tool windows defaults to random percents when real-time drawings is enabled.

    To recreate is problem: First enable Real-time drawing. Then draw a box. With the Scale Tool window open, uniform scale the box 400%. Duplicate that box by holding down OPTION key while click and dragging the box. Click on the second box and open the Scale Tool window: when I do this I no longer see 400% in the scale percentage, instead I find completely random numbers and sometimes it selects non-uniform. This gets annoying after a while.

  13. Save for Web locks and unresponsive

    I've been encountering this issue for a while now.

    Whenever I save for web and need to size up an image or the image is not done loading and I click save but then close the box, everything freezes and there's nothing to do, but to force quit.

    I've attached a video of the issue

  16. Scripting: move selection to layer doesn't work if layer is not visible

    When moving selected elements to a layer, if that layer's visibility is set to false, it reports that it cannot move elements to a locked layer. However, it's not locked, it's just not visible. I do this all the time by physically dragging to a layer that is not currently visible. I was able to work around it by setting visibility to true, moving the elements, then making it false again, but it seems like a bug.

  19. Common Dialog Boxes lag: saves each step from Dialog Box

    – MacOS Mojave 10.14.1
    – AI 24.1.2

    The problem appears in ALL dialog boxes in Illustrator: from transforming to changing colours.

    For example I want to move my object 10px to the left. I open the Dialog Box, all the Positions are 0, Preview is on. I enter 10px, the object moves to 10 px. But, for example, that isn't enough for my artwork, and i'm entering then 12px instead of 10px, in the same dialog box.

    And then the "magic" happens.

    Let's say the original position of the object is 0. When I enter 10px, the position changes also…

    This option only works when you are viewing your documents as outline using CPU mode only, not GPU. While this is a known problem, voting for this issue is important for the team to estimate the importance of this limitation.
