  2. Color Mismatch when copy/pasting within Ai

    In 27.2, copy/paste, while staying in Ai gives a color profile mismatch warning.

    This is weird and should never happen. It also asks to Merge color swatches.

  4. Illustrator 27 (last version) crashes

    Illustrator crashes after some minutes of use without any apparent reason. I have run any possible thing to solve it. I am just drawing with my wacom tablet, the same I have done for the last 3 years. The files are usually partially recovered, but there is no error name or code displayed.

  5. Zooming is broken when in the middles of creating a path

    I am new to illustrator but have found that on mac if you use alt/option + scroll while using the curvature tool or pen tool, it wont zoom you immediately, it will do it afterwards. if you were to do it even a little bit it wouldn't happen until you are done with the stroke. once it activates its almost seizure inducing with how fast it zooms an unzooms. I don't know if this is a mac only issue or a software issue but it can not only be annoying but just outright time wasting. i use adobe illustrator version…

  6. Properties panel shows "no selection" when object is selected

    I'm using Illustrator version 27.1.1 on windows 10 64 bit.
    When selecting and object, the Properties panel shows "no selection" and some crucial features (like the reflecting buttons) are missing.

    I'm attaching a screenshot, where you can see that there is an object selected, but it doesn't appear as such in the Properties panel.

  9. Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023

    MacOS Monterey 12.6 (21G115)
    Adobe Illustrator 2023 27.0.1

    Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023, the window to select a document is almost completely invisible, so it’s impossible to select any documents to place.
    The only way to place anything is by dragging it into illustrator from the file of origin...

    It doesn’t matter if you use the shortcut cmd+shift+P or go to File > Place, both results in the same issue, which is very annoying and frustrating.

  11. GPU preview crashes after a few minutes

    After a few minutes with an open file the screen flashes white and GPU preview support goes away. The GPU preview is greyed out. Interestingly I don't need to restart Illustrator, I just need to shut the file down an re-open it then GPU preview is back. The files affected have embedded images within them. I have an Nvidia 3080ti graphics card with an AMD 5950x running latest versions of illustrator (happens with the beta too though it did seem to last longer before the white flash) all drivers and os up to date.. Nothing to do with outline mode…

  13. Compound paths not saving

    When I make an object a compound path and then save as an SVG, when I go to open the file again, all of the compound paths have reverted to paths. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've tried an earlier version, I've done everything I can think of and still my SVG files will not retain compound paths. I'm using an M1 MacBook Pro, AI v27.2

  14. Loading an external swatch library file freezes the app every time.

    Loading a external swatch library freeze the app every time. Loading swatches from a file does not.

  15. Keyboard input in Properties Panel, Character section failure

    Keyboard input in the Properties Panel will frequently stop working for me, and the only way to fix it is to restart the application. It's not a huge issue but it is quite irritating as I need to restart illustrator up to six times per hour to fix this.
    In detail: keyboard input for character related dimensions will stop working. I am still able to delete input, but cannot add input using the keyboard (the delete key is the only key being registered by Illustrator in the Properties Panel). For example, if my text is set to 35pt font, I…

  16. 와콤타블렛 PTH 660 연결시 일러스트레이터 다운 후 복구창으로

    와콤타블렛 PTH-660을 연결(블루투스나 USB연결 모두)하여 일러스트레이터를 사용시 어느정도 시간이 지나면 자동으로 일러스트레이터가 종료되고 다시 일러스트레이터를 실행시키면 복구할 파일을 복구하라는 팝업창이 뜬채로 실행됨. 한두번이 아니고 계속적으로 발생하기에 타블렛을 사용할 수가 없을 정도임. 충돌 문제 검토 부탁드립니다.
    일러스트레이터 최신업데이트 버전이며, 폰트관련 부분도 체크가 완료되었고, 아울러 초기화도 여러번 해봤으나 해당 증상은 계속되고 있습니다.

  17. Grey rendering/latency issues MAC Ventura

    since updating my MAC to Ventura I have been experiencing what seems to be graphics issues on Illustrator.

    I am able to move the cursor over these grey areas which begins to erase them, however the next time I move positions more grey areas appear.

  18. Stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to

    The stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to (transform="scale(sx sy)") if the scale values (sx, sy) are different. Stroke width is not scaled if the scale values are the same. Ideally stroke should not be scaled.
    Workaround for the browser is to use vector-effect='non-scaling-stroke' attr, but it is still not being supported by AI.

    This need some clarification.

    I don’t think I can understand the problem.

    Illustrator is capable of scaling strokes with object, it the corresponding option is checked. When it’s enabled, it does not differ between uniform and non-uniform transformations. So, is it a feature request and not a bug report, or am I missing the point of it?

  20. When I import a Color Library it changes to a swatch spot color and is a magenta spot color while folder is empty
