Shapes drawn with the pencil tool are always created with the basic fill appearance, even if "new art has basic appearance" is not checked.
- Create a new Illustrator document.
- In the Appearance panel, deselect "New art has basic appearance", if it's selected.
- Select the pencil tool and use it to draw a curved line.
- Set the stroke of the line to 10 point and the color to red.
- Set the fill to black.
- Draw another line with the pencil tool. The stroke is 10 point red, but the fill reverts to none.
- Repeat with the pen tool. This time, the fill stays black when a second line is drawn.
This problem was not present in earlier versions of Illustrator.
System: Adobe Illustrator 27.6.1, M2…
1 voteThis is due the 'Fill new pencil strokes' option in the Pencil Tool Options dialog — it forces the new paths drawn with the pencil to drop their fills, even though the New Art Has Basic Appearance option may suggest both will be preserved.

AI 2023 no longer saving older as CS6 files that get recognized by other programs
Illustrator 2023 version 27.6.1 no longer saves a file as CS6 that works with RD Works, a program used for laser cutting and engraving. I know it is due to Illustrator 2023. When I imported a previous project created in Illustrator 2022 and saved it as a CS6 file, they imported perfectly into RD Works without any problems. RD Works has never been updated on my computer for three years. Attached is a CS6 that opens properly in Illustrator yet is not seen by RD Works.
I may have to uninstall Illustrator 2023 and go to an older version to…1 vote -
cursor covers tool tip in tool selection
When selecting tools to add to the toolbar, the cursor changes to an arrow pointing to the upper left. When I mouse over a tool that I might want to add to the toolbar, the tooltip appears under the arrow. Consequently, the first few letters are hidden beneath the cursor. The tooltip needs to either be shifted away from the cursor or drawn over the cursor.

Outputted colours differing on same artwork.
Getting a problem where the outputted colour of a filled shape is darker than that of the same filled text box.
I'm producing artwork that will be sublimation printed onto fabric. I out the artwork as an .eps file, I then print the artwork onto fabric and the same colour values are now massively different and stand out like a sore thumb!
I've been producing artwork like this for the best part of 11 years now, and never had this issue!! Difficult to see the the attached photos.

Gaussian blur does not get rendered
Two white stripes on the blue background have gaussian blur applied to them, but the effect is invisible (unless I reduce Document Raster Effects’ Resolution). The CS6 version is throwing you a warning it’s not enough RAM to apply the effect. The latest version just says nothing, it just calculates it, shows the progress bar, but doesn’t apply it (I checked this with the All the Warnings reset also).
This same file has another problem, unfoldable layers — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794262
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

GPU performance enabled, but Illustrator is still using CPU at 100%?
Greetings, I have a 4070 ti and an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x (12 core) with 64 gb of RAM config, windows 11 machine. I have resetted the config files (deleted all the folders there), whenever I open a project that has 3d materiales and objects in it, illustrator refuses to use my GPU, despite having all the relevant boxes ticked in preferences. Here is a screenshot of whats happening. I am a CC subscriber and using the latest version (27.6.1 64bit). My video card should be able to handle any 3d task I set to it silky smooth, just applying…

Illustrator CCC23 crashes when clicking scrollbar in the Layers Panel
I use a Wacom Intuos Pro Small Tablet on an M1 Max Macbook Pro running macOS 13 Ventura. I have the buttons on the tablet's pen mapped to specific keystrokes when using Illustrator CC23, which forces me to click the scrollbar to scroll within the Layers panel. 95% of the time, using any part of the scrollbar crashes Illustrator. This was never the case with previous versions and is very frustrating because using the scrollbar is now second nature to me and is very difficult to avoid.

Appearance panels not consistent
For some reason, the two ways to inspect the Appearance of the selection do not reflect the same information.
In the small panel a triangle with an exclamation mark appeared to make note of the fact that two strokes are applied and I should check the Appearance panel.. Why not show the correct Appearance information in all Appearance panels?
See screenshot.

Isolation mode requires more than 2 clicks
I have to double click several times to enter isolation mode when an asset is in multiple nested groups.
It was not apparent I needed to double click multiple times to drill down into subgroups until writing this feedback and observing the program much more closely.
I was trying to enter isolation mode by rapidly clicking on the element I wanted to isolate, but Illustrator does not drill down into a deeper group unless there is a pause in clicks. It is therefore possible to click on an element 10-20 times in quick succession which is interpreted as only a…

Freeform gradient gets stuck on color stop mode
I created a circle with a freeform gradient and when I tried to deselect the gradient, it would not deselect the color stops inside the gradient. Even when I had another object selected and tried to change the fill color, it said "color stop" was selected to fill in the top left corner. I also tried switching to my other open projects and the problem was still occurring even in projects with no gradients.

Program closes when opening documents or creating new ones!
HELP PLEASE! Ilustrator starts but it doesn´t allow me to open any document nor create a new one, it closes and doesn´t give me any error code. It´s been a week now and a can´t find a way to solve it. i have tried 27.5 version and many others like 26.5, 26 and the problem continues.
I´ve tried reseting preferences, upgrading and downgrading versions, reinstalling and this keeps happening.
Photoshop, after effects and all other programs work perfectly fine.
Drivers, graphics and controllers don´t seem to solve nothing either.

Can't import complex file into new layout - Unknown error
Hello, we can't import complex file inside Illustrator since we switched to Mac Studio M1. Is there any incompatibility with the hardware ? The same setup (OS + AI version) works on Intel based Macs.
Setup : Mac os Ventura 13.4 - Mac Studio Apple M1 Max - Illustrator 27.6 (doesn't work on older version either)

compound paths and gradients
So I made a pie chart, then applied 3D, expanded its appearance, and then made it a compound path to apply a gradient to it and it has been **** on earth to work with. It has funny artifacts that I can't even edit or look at. One of the elements fills the element with the gradient instead of just the outline. I managed to fix it by moving it around and playing with it but it will probably happen again.

Old files quirks - SAVING and more
I have occasionally had problems with files not saving.
Today I have a specific example in case some dev people want to look at if: https://stock.adobe.com/579753145
The document seems to be plain eps (or maybe oldest Illustrator version ever).
When I open it in illustrator to just look at it, 27.5 on windows occasionally seems to keep some filehandle open (so I cannot make a change and "save as")
If that does not happen,, and I try to save, I get the "save as" dialogue, but in the end the file does not change. In detail: the documentAfterSave event is…1 vote -
Exporting Artboards
When I try exporting an artboard lets say as a PNG and put in that specific artboard, the preview comes up as the wrong artboard, it is usually the first one. This has been going on for a while and I have just come to the realization that it is a bug because I cancel the export and then try again and it works.

Manually scaled text can’t be selected
If I click to select my text and double-click to scale manually, I am no longer able to select it again. If I want to select the text again I have to click and drag the select tool over other objects to select the text. Sometimes that works sometimes not. Doesn't work at all with a single object that's broken.
On Windows Desktop 64 Bit, Illustrator Version 27.5, last updated 5/6/23
