  3. Align to artboard can't change to Align selected objects

    The default Align Artboard button cannot be changed to Align selected objects.
    The version I am using is 28.0, mac system. I can't perform the point alignment operation, it will automatically perform the 'Align Artboard' function. 'Align' is a frequently used feature, so please fix it as soon as possible. Thanks

  5. Text to Vector prompt doesn't work

    When I write a prompt and hit 'generate', the bar loads as normal but then produces an error message saying, "Something went wrong, try again".
    This also doesn't work for the sample prompts provided by the program.

  8. Illustrator 2024(28.0)でブラウザなどから直接貼り付けるとハングする画像がある。

    macOS 14.1.1 MacBook Pro 2019 eGPU使用
    28.0 発生
    27.9 発生しない

    問題の発生
    ブラウザやOffice系の画像をコピーペーストまたはDrag'n'DropでIllustratorのアートボードに貼り付けるとレインボーカーソルが発生しハングする。

    問題の再現性
    「外部GPUを優先」時に発生、チェックを外すと起きない。

    アプリ側が『新しい Retype 機能を使用して画像内のテキストを編集します。』の表示をしようとした時の「外部GPUを優先」時の不具合か?

  10. SVG embedded images not showing up in 2023 version

    I am having an issue with reopening an already-saved .svg file, with an embedded image in the file. The image is not showing up when I re-open it in Illustrator 2023. This has me thinking that I did not save the svg correctly - choosing for the image within the svg to be embedded - when I go to File<Save As<SVG. But when I go to check the same file in Illustrator 2022 or in Inkscape, the embedded image is in fact there.
    So this makes me think this is an Illustrator 2023 bug?

  11. Preview checkbox in swatch options does not enable the first time it is checked

    The 'Preview' checkbox in the swatch options does not work the first time it is enabled. Steps to replicate:

    1. Create an object and apply a swatch to it.
    2. With the object selected, double-click the swatch to open the swatch options.
    3. If the 'Preview' checkbox is ticked, untick it, close the options window and then open it again.
    4. Tick the 'Preview' checkbox
    5. Adjust the swatch using the colour sliders

    Result: the object does not change on canvas to reflect the swatch definition while the window is open
    Expected result: the object changes on canvas to reflect the swatch definition

    Unticking 'Preview'…

  13. The "Placement options" in the document have been replaced with the computer's final settings

    I placed an 'img-1.ai' picture in Document-A with the placement option set to Bounding Box.
    After saving and closing it, I created a new document, Document-B.
    In Document-B, I placed the 'img-2.ai' picture with the placement option set to Bleed.
    After saving and closing Document-B, I reopened Document-A.
    The placement option for 'img-1.ai' had changed to Bleed.

    Why does the placement option not follow the document but instead follows the last-used setting?
    If I send the document to the client, they will see the incorrect layout.

  14. Can't manually enter values within the Properties toolbar

    When I go to edit a value in the properties bar (for example, angle or stroke size), nothing appears when I type. This problem doesn't exist after reloading Ai but starts occurring shortly after working with the program. The values are still editable using cursors, but make design work very difficult since I can't simply type the angle, width, stroke size, etc.. that I want.

  15. Random delay when running script via command line

    When you run a script via the command line, sometimes there is a pause between launch and execution. The duration of this pause is always different.

    It would be nice if there was no pause at all.

  16. Font menu blank

    Drop down font menu has stopped working in all illustrator docs.

    Turned all fonts on / off in Creative Cloud, no change, it's also showing all fonts are installed on the CC app.
    Creative Cloud is working fine
    Illustrator is up to date (28.0)
    Internet connection is fine.

  17. Previewing Mid-High Complexity files incredible Sluggish - Losing time and money

    So this has become tottally unnaceptable adobe.
    For the price we pay monthly, it's unnaceptable that the engine used for rendering is so primitive in comparison with one used on other (more cheaper) software such as Affinity Designer.

    This should be one of the features you should be focusing more.

    In this thread i mentioned that since some versions of ILLUSTRATOR, the same designs i had years ago, started working more and more sluggish when previewing. And no matter the HW upgrades, it's the same. (i prefer how i worked on these 3-4 years ago)

  18. GPU performance issues on Mac mini with second display attached

    I am having problems with GPU performance on my Mac mini (Apple M2, 16GB) with two displays attached.

    For example, when I move an object by using the arrow keys in quick succession, the artwork often does not refresh correctly. If I wait a while (sometimes about half a second) or press any key (e.g. the space bar), the artwork will update.

    Disconnecting the second display, resolves the problem. Also using the CPU to preview solves it.

    After further investigation, I found that it was not just the second monitor that was causing the Illustrator preview to stutter: I am…

  19. Delay and Unresponsiveness in Help Search Function

    OS: macOS Sonoma 14.1 - Adobe Illustrator 28.0

    I am experiencing a persistent issue with the Help drop-down menu in Adobe Illustrator. Whenever I attempt to use the search function within this menu, the program becomes unresponsive for a prolonged period. This issue occurs consistently on the initial use of the search feature during a session.

    To Reproduce: Open Adobe Illustrator, click on the 'Help' drop-down menu, type any query into the search bar.

    Expected Result: The search function should respond promptly, displaying results as the query is typed.

    Actual Result: Upon entering the first character in the search bar,…
