Small enhancement for the new Global Edit Tool
Hi there!
I’m playing with this new feature on Illustrator 23, “Global Edit” and I find it absolutely fantastic.
But, there is a small drawback when you are editing an object: once your are in “Global Edit Mode”, when you change to White Arrow (Direct Selection Tool) to modify some individual component of your original object, lot of times you need to firstly UNSELECT ALL just to be able to select some individual point/s to edit (in order to see that edition being cloned along all similar objects interactively).
And here comes the problem: once you unselect all with the…

Hi,
I’m Sanket Sali from India.
I use ASUS Gl553vd laptop with updated win 10. It has onboard gpu intel and addon gpu nvidia 1050. I have updated both drivers from asus website.
I’m experiencing screen brightness flicker means brightness goes high and low inside the document window of AI as well as PS.
It was same in 2018 versions of AI and PS and the problem is still there in 2019 versions. I’m not getting where the exact issue is.

Gradients Swatch Box Snaps Back
When expanding the box to see your gradient fill it immediately snaps back to the letterbox default. I cannot gauge the color gradients very well without enlarging the viewable gradient area.

'Puppet Warp Tool' delaying access to 'Free Transform Tool' due to load time
Noticed in the latest update that when 'pressing & holding' the Puppet Warp Tool to access the Free Transform Tool underneath would cause the Puppet Tool to first apply itself to chosen artwork, render its mesh, etc. before displaying my option to select the Free Transform Tool. This causes up the 5 second delay each time I switch - very annoying for the default state. I encounter this about 3 times daily.

Undo randomly groups texts
After hitting undo a few times will cause a random text to be selected and cannot be unselected. I don't know which text has been selected either. Only way to find out is to direct select each text and try to edit them. That's the only way to exit out of the selection as well. I've found this problem over and over again.

Envelope distort: Using arrow keys to adjust bend and H/V distortion nudges object down the page
I am having a situation where I have created an arc envelope distortion of some text and, after committing my initial bend, decided to edit the distortion.
The problem is that, when I go back into Envelope Distort > Edit Envelope and increase (or decrease) the bend, H or V distortion in the toolbar, for every digit I go up or down, the object itself nudges down the page by 30-40 points.
I have changed the transformation reference point from the top to the center to the bottom of the object, but it doesn't matter. The object still nudges down…

Spell Check doesn't understand what "Uncapitalized Start of Sentence" means.
While running spell check, Illustrator doesn't seem to understand that a comma is not the end of a sentence, or that the word following the comma is the start of a new sentence. See attached screen shots.

lastest update crashes CONSTANTLY
Just updated to version 23.0 via CC panel and Illustrator won't run more than 2 minutes at a time without crashing. I can't keep it open long enough to determine if there's a specific trend or problem. Selecting any tool from any palette, or trying to move an object on the art board, or while typing... just locks up no matter what I do. VERY FRUSTRATING.
For what it's worth, I'm on Windows 10 with 32 gb of RAM running 64 bit version of Illustrator. Never crashed before the update.

2019 update. Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
1 voteIllustrator provides two tool panels now: Basic (chosen by default) and Advanced (with all the tools, including plugin ones). This change was made to make Illustrator less clumped form the beginning and ease the learning process. You can read more about this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html
You can also access all the tools from the 'drawer' menu, by clicking the button with three dots at the bottom of any toolbar.
As always, Ai doesn’t care much about our settings, and this time they forced this changes for everyone, not explaining the change directly in-app. Hope this gets improved.

CC2019 Offset Path stuck in Inches
Offset Path seems to be stuck in Inches in 23.0. I have the preferences all set to "points", yet when I try to use Offset Path, it's still displaying the offset amount in inches. This didn't happen until the upgrade to 23.0.
