  1. Libraries are responding super slowly

    Interacting with the libraries panel is SUPER slow.
    Right clicking on an item takes ~ 15 seconds for the menu to show up.
    Selecting something from the menu takes just as long to work.
    "adding to library" take 10-15 seconds.
    moving/organizing the items in the library takes 10-15 seconds

    While waiting, I can still use the drawing window/artboards no problem.
    This started happening last week. (approx feb 26 2024)

  2. ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定が300ppiの場合でもApple Color Emojiが低い解像度でラスタライズされる

    macOS Ventura / iMac27inch i5/32GB/1TB
    Illustrator ver.28.3(カラーフォントに対応したバージョン全てで同様の挙動だと思われます。)

    問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    1. テキストツールを使いアートボード上をクリックしテキスト入力モードに
    2. 字形パレット上で任意の絵文字をダブルクリック
    3. アートボード上のポイントテキストに絵文字が入力されるので、サイズを15pt程度に設定する。
    4. メニューより「書式→アウトラインを作成」を実行する。
    5. ビットマップ系のカラーグリフのフォントなのでビットマップに変換されるが、アウトライン前の表示に対して著しい解像度低下が起きる。

    想定していた結果
    アウトライン化後もアウトライン前と同程度の品質のビットマップとしてラスタライズされる。

    実際の結果
    72ppiでラスタライズした状態になる為、ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定にて300ppi等の高解像度設定を行っている場合、想定した品質のものにならない。

    AppleColorEmojiフォントは各グリフをpng形式で持つカラーグリフフォントです。Illustratorはこのフォントを表示するために、当フォントが数種類内包するサイズ違いのStrikeの内のもっともピクセル数の多いStrike8を利用してレンダリングします。これは各グリフが160px×160pxのサイズで、上記の手順での表示品質を充分担保できるサイズと言えます。
    しかし、アウトライン化の際、Illustratorはこのフォントが持つpngデータを利用せず、一律で「RGB/72ppi/アンチエイリアス無し」の設定でラスタライズします。そのせいで本来フォントが持つディテイルが失われます。「ドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定」が300ppiの場合15piのグリフは60px×60px程度のサイズでラスタライズされることが期待されるのですが、72ppiで処理される為に半分程度のサイズとなります。
    アウトライン化という意味では埋め込み画像を生成する際にフォントが持つpngを読み出して配置するのが理想であると考えます。しかし、ドキュメント解像度にあわせたラスタライズ処理を行うという処理も合理的ではあります。
    いずれにせよ、データの品質を担保する意味でもドキュメントのラスタライズ効果設定に応じた処理をお願いします。

  4. Flickering colors and images when moving mouse while in GPU mode

    The screen flickers when you move the cursor (it sucks!).

    When you switch to CPU it stops, but you lose the animated zoom which is a nice feature.

    Equipment:
    Mac Studio M2 Max 64GB
    Apple Studio Display
    Sonoma 14.3.1

    Illustrator version:
    28.2

  5. Illustrator freezing, crashing and lagging. Every time I use it!

    I've been having this problem for at least a month or so, but recently it has gotten way worse! Every time I use Illustrator, no matter the file type/size/specs, it would freeze randomly. I cant press anything, I can't save. The only way out is the force quit. This was my "manageable" problem since the files usually were recovered. However, note it is getting way worse. It is freezing multiple times a session and even crashing now. It says it cannot save due to errors or just full on crashes mid save. I am also now even having launch problems!

  8. Not Working: Select objects completely inside the marquee

    Today’s 28.3 release (non-beta) touts the “Select objects completely inside the marquee” feature. Unfortunately, it’s not working here in macOS 14.3.1 (23D60).

    Whether the E key is used or not, all objects are selected even in the case of an object not being fully enclosed in the selection area. And unfortunately, using the E key switches the current tool to the Free Transform tool, away from the Direct Selection tool which is counterproductive :(

  10. Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export

    I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:

    • Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
    • Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
    • Create a new layer, Layer 2
    • Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")
    • Select Layer 1 and Layer 2 in the…

  11. Pie chart problem with small values

    When I create a pie chart that contains small values along large ones, Illustrator will just delete the small ones.

    These numbers are the original (and the smallest value just disappears):

    25
    12
    5
    4
    3
    2
    58
    17
    1832

    If I change the two smallest values to 5 and 4 it will render these slices.

    25
    12
    5
    4
    5
    4
    58
    17
    1832

    I know it's very small but I do need them to be present.

    When needed I can provide screenshots.

  14. Expanding an Inside / Outside stroke creates barely open paths

    1. Create a rectangle
    2. Apply a thick stroke to it and change its alignment to Inside or Outside
    3. Expand Appearance for the shape
    4. Deselect the shape
    5. Grab Direct selection and carefully move the corner points at the top right, for both paths

    It turns out Illustrator doesn’t keep these tidy! One is cut open, another has a doubled point! It leads to a problems later, when we try, e.g. to make corners rounded, or apply effects.

    A current workaround is to apply Add (as Pathfinder operation or an effect) to the stroke, separately form the fill... and it’s taxing for memory,…

  15. Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs

    If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.

    It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.

    Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.

    Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

  17. Highlighting text leads to disappearing artboards

    This tends to only happen when I have minimized the screen to be half of my desktop size. Whenever I highlight text in Illustrator the artboard disappears and it only comes back when I've selected the selection tool and click in the work space.

  18. Application Memory Spiking

    MacBook Pro, Apple M2 Pro, 16GB, macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)
    Illustrator V 28.3

    Product is crashing and RAM usage is sky-rocketing to 300GB+, have to wait for the system to recover before making further actions in program.
    Periodically occurs when 3D objects are populating the artboard but unclear whether this is linked or not.

  19. レイヤー名に改行コードが入っている場合、MacとWindowsでレイヤーパネルの表記が異なる。

    macOS Ventura 13.6.3、Windows10/11
    Illustrator ver.28.2(以前のバージョンも同様の挙動)

    1.テキストエディタ等から改行を含むテキストをコピーする。
    2.Illustratorに移り、新規ドキュメントを開きレイヤーパネルを選択する。
    3.レイヤー 1を選択しレイヤー名をダブルクリックするかダイアログを表示してレイヤー名にテキストエディター等でコピーした改行を含むテキストをペーストする。
    4.Macでは改行がZWNBSのように扱われ表示されます。Windowsでは改行として扱われ改行以後が折り返され上部だけがかすかに見えます。

    期待する結果
    プラットフォームが違ってもレイヤー名の表示がおなじになる。

    実際の結果
    MacとWindowsでレイヤー名の表示が異なる。

    これはレイヤー名に改行コードが入ってしまうという特殊なケースでの挙動の違いです。しかし、レイヤー名をテキストエディタ等からコピーしてきてペーストするというシナリオは考えられることです。プラットフォームの違いで表示が異なるのは問題です。
    理想を言えば、レイヤー名に改行が混ざっていた場合は改行コード自体をドロップしてしまうのが良いように思います。Windowsの折り返して読めない部分が生じるのはダメです。
