  2. Exporting svg file with preserve editing capabilities checked issue

    I have a doc with multiple artboards. when I export the SVG file, I select the individual artboard and export like usual, but recently it's been exporting the entire doc, with all the other artboards as well. even previewing doesn't show all of the boards, I can only tell when I open the SVG file back up or look at the file size.

  5. Smart Guides do not work properly in large documents

    I don't know if this is a recent problem with the 2023 version on Illustrator, but when I'm working on very large documents, smart guides simply do not work. I have to zoom really close to be able to snap and align this correctly. I believe that the behavior of such functionally should be scalable and independent of zoom levels.

  7. All menu item shortcuts are grayed out

    Illustrator 2023, v27.7
    MacOS Ventura 13.2.1
    Wacom intuos pro
    Apple Magic Mouse

    at some point, all the shortcut menu items became grayed out...I can USE the actual shortcuts like CTRL+X and CTRL+V
    i can select the commands in the menu and get them to work...but it's weird... not sure if it is associated with other weird behaviors like not being able to select and move an object?

  8. Illustrator (still) cannot read TIF files.

    When can we remedy this? I cannot open or place a TIF file in Illustrator 27.6.1. The error message is the file is an unknown format and can't be opened.

    There are reports on this page still open from 2021. When will this be fixed?

    I have several TIFs from a museum to lay out for printing and I'm having to individually bring them all in to photoshop and export them as a different format.

  13. Bug deletou todo o arquivo que estava salvo no pc anteriormente

    Eu estava trabalhando no arquivo há 6 horas, salvando tranquilamente, quando transformei em traçado uma imagem tudo ficou branco como se tivesse deletado tudo. Fechei e abri de novo sem salvar, quando o arquivo abriu veio todo em branco.

  17. Save Each Artboard to a Separate File - thumbnails are incorrect.

    When using the option during Save to save each artboard to its own file, the thumbnails for each of the individual files shows all the artboards instead of the the artboard being saved.

    Details of your operating system:
    Windows 11, Nvidia RTX A2000 12gb GPU, i7-12700 CPU, 64G memory

    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
    27.7

    The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
    Save a multiple artboard file using the option discussed above.

    Your expected result and the actual result:
    Each file should have a thumbnail of only it's respective artboard instead of all artboards together, which…

  18. 右クリック時のコンテクストメニューがズレる(クリック点を起点とぜず、離れた位置に表示される)

    Mac M2Pro(Mac14,12) , Ventura v13.4.1, Ai2023(27.6.1), 4Kモニタ(27inc,3200x1800表示)

    新規でAi2023(27.6.1)をインストールしたのち表題の現象が起きる。その他のバージョンのAIはインストールしていない。
    環境設定をリセットすると直るが、改めて環境を設定してしまうと同じ現象がおきる。環境設定内の何かしらの項目が悪さしてそうですが一つ一つは検証していません。
    27.7のアップデートが来ていましたのでアップデートしましたが変わらず。

    追加:Ai2023をアンインストールしてAi2022バージョンも試しに入れてみましたが、同じくなにかしら環境設定をしてしまうと設定クリアするまではズレたままです。

    OSシステムのディスプレイ設定で2560x1440に変更してみたりなど試しましたが改善しませんでした。

  19. Charter font is misrendered at small sizes

    The Italic version of the Charter font that comes standard on macOS is misrendered at small sizes by several Adobe programs, including Illustrator and Acrobat.

    Steps to reproduce on macOS:

    1. Create some text in a new document, ideally including the character "A"
    2. Set the typeface of the text to Charter Italic
    3. Simply zoom out until the "A" is shown with obvious artefacts. Zooming in again resolves the issue. See attached screenshot of the same text rendered at larger and smaller sizes, for comparison.

    Notes:

    This affects not just the "A" character, but it's the most noticeable with it. Notably, it…
