  1. CC 2018 zoom!

    CC 2018 zoom is zooming anywhere but where I want it, even with -preferences-zoom to selection OFF. Its driving me mad and slowing me down in designing, which I have deadlines every day. Please, please can you sort this?

  2. Pen tool glitch

    When using the pen tool, the artboard glitches and a big gray area appears from the upper right corner (screenshot 1), glitches even more and turns yellow when scrolling or moving the cursor (screenshot 2).
    Pen tool absolutely impossible to use.

    This started happening after last update (version 22.0.1 - 64 bit) on Windows 8.1

  3. X- Y-coordinates are not aligning

    When attempting to align two existing points by typing in an exact measurement for x- y-coordinates, they do not align on screen. When the measurements typed in are the exact same, they are NOT aligning on the screen. This is making it quite difficult to refine shapes.

  6. Troubleshooting with anchor points

    While trying to add a new anchor point to an intersection it adds it in another place, some pixels to the left. Basically, it happens whenever I try to use the pen tool. At the same time looks like whenever I move an object it doesn't go exactly where I want it to. Basically, no overlapping or adding anchor point to an existing vector.

  7. Illustartor cc 2018 Crashing when clicking the paintbrush tool or shape builder tool

    Illustartor cc 2018 Crashing when clicking the paintbrush tool or shape builder tool in the tools panel. The "N" shortcut for the underlying pencil tool also crashes illustrator. I have reset preferences, but to no prevail.

    I am not using GPU as Illustrator can not find my Nvidia GT540M

  8. Repeat scale

    1. Scale an object NON UNIFORMLY using Scale tool.
    2. Select new object.
    3. Option-click to choose point of scaling and bring up dialog box.
    4. The previous NON-UNIFORM scale percentages are displayed, but UNIFORM is highlighted. Clicking the radio button next to NON-UNIFORM simply applies the UNIFORM value to the NON-UNIFORM values.

  9. Snap to Point causes jumping with long Guides

    I'm using very long guides to create a custom angled grid, and use Snap to Point to snap paths to intersections of those guides. However, sometimes the Snap to Point causes "jumping", i.e. it tries to snap to the intersection, but when it does, it scrolls the document a tad upwards, and hence goes immediately out of snap. Sometimes it even causes jumps of hundreds of millimeters. It doesn't always happens, but only with some guides intersecting in some points. I cannot really say what actually makes it happen.

    I created a test file to where I isolated only three…

  11. Making a regular triangle with Star tool duplicates the path

    Scissor tool cuts lines and duplicates them (completely broken)

    Make a triangle by selecting the star and changing it to 3 lines (triangle), now cut one of the lines with the scissor. It duplicates the shape! This bug is seen across multiple shapes and lines. The scissor tool is broken along with selecting individual points often creates duplicate lines.

    The quality of adobe products has just gone downhill in the last 5 years.

  14. Center of rotation changes position

    1. Win 11

    2. Version 28.1

    3. Trying to rotate a path from a custom rotation location by entering the rotation as a value, not manually.

    4. I'd expect that you can rotate from any given position by entering rotational values. As it is, your selected rotation position will instead default to center.

    5. Video attached.

    Summary
    When you select a custom position to rotate a shape from, it only works if you manually rotate the object. You can't select a custom position and then type in a rotational value via enter or double-clicking on the rotate tool.

  16. 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.

  17. Magic Wand tool selects things it shouldn't

    In the video below, I have four shapes: two black squares with a transparent stroke (i.e., no stroke), a black square with a gold stroke, and a red square with a gold stroke. The tolerance level in the Magic Wand palette is set to zero for both strokes and fills.

    If "Fill Color" only is checked, and you click on a plain black square with the Magic Wand tool, both plain black squares and the black square with the gold fill are selected as expected.

    If "Stroke Color" only is checked, and you click on a plain black square, both…
