SVG Precision and options are reset on every launch of IL. Add a place in IL preferences allowing users to permanently set SVG precision.
I've gone over this problem in detail on the forums here:
Illustrator's precision for saving out SVG files has a default of 1 decimal place. This can cause severe path distortion and rounding errors in the resulting file if you simply save it with CTRL+S.
This precision setting is reset to 1 after closing and re-opening Illustrator no matter what settings you have applied in the past. To rectify this, you have to:
- FIRST select "Save As..."
- Choose SVG as your format.
- Click save and wait for the SVG options dialog to appear.
- Change the precision value from 1…

Pantone or other book colors in a CMYK document look fine in Overprint preview mode but get exported to an RGB images as dull
When we add a Pantone or a different book color into a CMYK document, we can see how it looks 'for real' when we enable Overprint mode — all fair.
Then we would need to share this image with a client, so we export an RGB image... and this image shows out vivid book color as a dull-and converted-to-CMYK-and-then-to-RGB color — which is not what we have in mind.
This is a bug, honestly, I think, but also a request — we need to be able to export images as we see them in Overprint Preview mode... Ai respect overprints…

Sometimes Align panel has no Align To options enabled, even with a selection present
Occasionally I have an object selected, hit a hotkey assigned to an Align command, but nothing happens, even though Ai should automatically enable Align To Artboard with the only object selected.
I open the Align panel (in these cases it’s usually collapsed) and realize none of three Align To option buttons is pressed! I click Align To Artboard one manually, and then it works, and it doesn’t happen anymore... until the next time it misfires like this.
Probably it happens at least one per Ai session, I can’t tell yet.

[ExtendScript] Cannot set Document.rulerUnits
There is no way via scripting to set a document's rulerUnits (pts, mm, inch, etc) because the property Document.rulerUnits is—erroneously, surely—read only.
If Document.rulerUnits was writable, we would simply do this:
var doc = app.activeDocument; doc.rulerUnits = RulerUnits.MILLIMETERS;This is important because there is literally no way to set this via script, except to create a new document.

「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.
「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。
psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される
「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存(従来)」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様
「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない
Illustrator 2023、2024で確認
再現手順:
1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す(psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ)実際の結果:
「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される期待された結果:
画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される回避方法:
「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する---- English *Use translation tool ----
Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.
As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.
Same result with "Exports for screens", "Export as", "Save for Web (Legacy)" or any menu command.
"Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.
Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024
How to reproduce:
1. Create a symbol with artwork containing "Intertwine" and place an instance.

Export As SVG - incorrect size
I compared the results of the "Save As SVG" and "Export As SVG" commands.
I found that the "Export" option often produces incorrect sizes, especially with patterns containing a lot of fine details.The decimal point settings are the same in both cases.

Pressing Tab to Show All Palettes focuses a random third-party extension’s input on Windows
Reported by Enisio:
I use the Tab key a lot to hide/show panels, to instantly clear the panel clutter on the screen.
Pressing Tab activates RANDOM extension.This is bad, because I work with shortcut keys: T is for writingS for Scale, R for rotation, etc.
When an extension gets focused, I can’t call the tool I need and type something in the extension panel instead.Same thing with all the extensions below. I think all extensions behave this way. Has anyone ever paid attention?

Animated zoom bug (workspace flickers and turns black when in a group)
- Windows 11 (latest)
- Illustrator 28.3
- The screen flickers and turns black using Animated Zoom within a group. If I exit the group (using escape), the screen returns to normal. Animated Zoom works normally as long as I am not within a group.
The video I've uploaded shows me double-clicking a group to enter it, then using Animated Zoom to produce the flickering and black screen. I hit escape to exit the group, and the screen returns to normal. I then demonstrate that Animated Zoom works correctly when not within the group.
Thanks

Scaling proportionally not working with Use Preview Bounds enabled
Very weird issue happening at the moment. I was working on a file and realized some things which were supposed to be proportionate were not. I double checked and actually Illustrator was not scaling things proportionally!
Video to show what happens.So far I've uninstalled Illustrator and re-installed it. Seems like keeping Preview Bounds off is the only thing that works. If you got any ideas please let me know :)
Thank you <3

Massive Lag Issue
Every time I open Illustrator, it takes an enormously long time to load. It continues to lag when I'm in the file, working on it - every action requires a wait time, from moving an object to typing a word. This makes using illustrator a massive chore.
This happens to all files, even ones that are very simple - at most maybe 10 individual elements (images and text.) I have the creative suite, so all things are up to date. This issue does not happen with Photoshop or InDesign, which run perfectly, so it's clearly not a memory issue or…

The menu does not respond well right after Illustrator launches
en_US
Immediately after starting Illustrator, the menu does not respond to clicks and only works once every two times. Also, the phenomenon occurs that opening a new document does not show up the first time. Focusing on another application and refocusing on Illustrator fixes the problem.
While investigating the cause, it seems to be triggered by the presence of an invalid plugin or its warning screen. Without it, it worked fine.
Steps to reproduce
- Put the invalid plugin into Illustrator's plugin folder
- Start Illustrator
- Click the File menu
Expected result
The File menu will open.
Actual result
Nothing happens. A…

Transform Pattern Tiles Checkbox in Settings resets after applying Transofm Effect in Appearance Panel
Hi there!
When you check "Transform Pattern Tiles" in Settings, and after that - edit or apply the Transform effect in the Appearance panel without checking "Transform Patterns" in the Transform Effect window (even if you are not editing a pattern fill), the "Transform Pattern Tiles" checkbox in Settings resets.You don't think about Patterns when you are editing not a pattern fill. So it's insanely inconvenient.

'Share a review link to your file' advertisement dialog still pops when disabled
Sometimes, when I save a PDF file (at least in Illustrator Beta), I get this dialog.
I would like to see it go away forever.It pops up in the most inopportune moment — when I already decided to save a PDF and when I need to SAVE my data, and not to TRY something new. 'Come not between a user and his saved data'. Saving a file is an emergency operation — always, each time — JUST DON’T INTERFERE.
Even though I already chose to never see it again, I still get it. Just use 1KB of your Cloud…

Incorrect line weight scaling after vertical reflect command
With "Scale Strokes & Effects" turned on in preferences, using the transform panel to change the length of a line after it has had the vertical reflect command used on it will incorrectly scale the line weight.

ライブペイントオブジェクトにオーバープリントブラックを適用した際の問題
ライブペイントを適用したオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントブラックを適用するとライブペイント設定が消える。
macOS11.6
Illustrator CC2022以降再現手順
1. 線や麺の組み合わせでライブペイントを作成し着色する。
2. ライブペイントオブジェクトを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
3. ライブペイントに対して指定した処理が消え、閉図形外で保持されていた線も幅0.5pt、K100の黒に変化する。期待する結果
ライブペイントオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントした際、閉図形外のK100の線等以外にオーバープリント属性を適用せず、ライブペイントオブジェクトの状態を保持する。実際の結果
ライブペイントオブジェクトに指定した塗りなどの情報が消え、元から持っている線幅等の情報も一定値に変化する。代替処理
ライブペイントに対する「ブラックオーバープリント」は行わない。必要なオーバープリント指定は手動で指定するか、ライブペイントオブジェクト自体を拡張してから「ブラックオーバープリント」を適用する。7 votes -
Glitchy Selection of simple rects, freezes, lags
I haven't used Illustrator for some years.. you can check my previous posts with great ideas and upvoted.
And now I just back to Illustrator, installed it trial on a fresh macOS MacBook and got this lags, video attached.
I just created empty document, with a couple rects and when I try to select any it lags like a crazy, everything is jumps, freezes etc.I found also the same here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVi62donWCw
I have latest macOS up to today and just installed Illustrator firstly on my MacBook Pro M1.

Hiding a layer doesn't hide the guides
Since the Update 27.5 of Illustrator CC all guides oaf any file are showing whether or not their parent layer is visible or not. In my Graphic template i have a base layer for guides of different target sizes, areas and columns which are organized on named layers for each type of guides to easily show/hide them.
since the the last update (27.5 AI on macOS) ALL guides are showing up whether or not the layer containing these guides is hidden or shown which results in showing all guides for 4, 5 and 6 column layouts as well as all…7 votesA configuration modification has fixed this problem. It may take up to 24 hours for your Illustrator to show the changes resulting from this update.

Incorrect word count via script
At some point (I think v27) Illustrator has changed its word counting/division algorithm.
So, where previously the results were sensible:
"This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 4
"This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 4
"I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 5
"I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 5In version 27.4 the results are now confused:
"This.Was.Four.Words" — word count: 1
"This.Is.3.Words" — word count: 3
"I.WF05f.07.AB.000" — word count: 4
"I.WF05f.AB.07.000" — word count: 2For a discussion on the topic, and a testing script, see this thread.
Note: maybe this bug was introduced while fixing this bug.
