  1. Resizing a constrained proportion shape not accurate to input

    In 'Transform', if I set it to constrain proportions, then change the size of a square to '50mm x 50mm', the dimensions automatically change to something like '49.4345mm x 49.156mm'.

    It also does this with any shape I created. So annoying! I think it worked back in 2019's versions, but with any version since doesn't.

  3. Scale tool is going rogue in Illustrator version 25.0.1

    When the scale tool is opened, it comes up with an enormous negative number, followed by an error message saying can't complete request because objects will fall off the work area. Eventually, after pressing the cancel command numerous times and an undo, it resets and I can choose a percentage. Then, the next time, at won't remember the percentage and I go through the whole process again.

  4. Scale tool slowing down and not responding correctly

    I am not happy with the 2020 separate Scale tool. I am still getting used to the fact that I have to switch between tools but that is bearable. But the fact that this tool goes crazy makes me want to throw my laptop to the wall. It is way too sensitive to the move of my drawing pen and scales in an undesired direction. Usually, after I lift the pen but still hold the Shift for a second longer, the image/object totally distorts and going steps back lags and stops my work as I have to wait for Illustrator…

    動作環境
    ・illustrator2020(24.3)

    以上の環境で使用しています。

    同色のオブジェクト(または図形)をダイレクト選択ツールで選択後

  6. Resizing rotated rectangle using selection tool drags wrong side

    If I use the rectangle tool to create a square/rectangle, rotate it (for example, 45 degrees), then try to resize using the selection tool, it resizes the wrong side. For example, if I drag the bottom left side, it moves the bottom right side.

    I've included a screen record demonstrating the issue.

    Operating system is Mac, Mojave, 10.14.6

    Illustrator version is 25.0.1 (though this bug has been noticed in older versions)

  7. Editing direct select tool node deletion/undo

    I love being able to delete a node just by pausing with the Apple Pencil on top of the node. However, there is a conflict with trying to move and adjust the node. Often when I am carefully and slowly moving a node, it deletes it instead of moving it. Then when I hit undo the node comes back but it isn’t visible. My work around is to click on a different line to select the nodes there and then click on the line that I want to edit. Then I can see the node I want to move again.

  8. Alt click with the Scale tool makes y scale 0%

    Al clicking with the scale tool (to choose an origin and open the numeric scale dialog) results in a default Y scale of 0%

    That's strange!

    And please make the upmost input field the default selected one.

  11. Rotate and Scale Tool sometimes affects all points on a path instead of just selected points

    In previous versions of Illustrator (before 2021), if you had individual anchor points selected and you used the rotate tool, it would rotate all selected points and leave unselected points stationary. This was useful for quickly editing only part of a path.

    Now, in 2021, sometimes the rotate or scale tool rotates all the points, regardless if they were unselected.

    Note that in my recording, the skirt's anchor points work as expected. But the sandal's points transform the whole group of objects.

  13. Cannot place an AI or EPS file in a new document without it looking messed up (AI 25.0)

    I've tried placing AI and EPS logo designs into a new document and the logos are distorted. (Opening original looks fine). Weird scaling of individual parts and unexpected curves. It's a mess. Have to copy paste from original, cannot use place at all.

  14. Unsauber

    Vektoren lassen sich in Illustrator 2021 nicht mehr sauber und geschmeidig ziehen, Formen lassen sich nicht passgenau verschieben.
    Sie "hopsen" mit Absätzen und können nicht mehr (wie früher in den alten Versionen) sauber und geschmeidig platziert/gezeichnet werden. Ich würde gern wieder sauber und geschmeidig mit Vektoren arbeiten. Was ist da faul?

  17. reference

    BUG: Transform > Set Reference Point

    The transform tool is not behaving as expected. Width and dimension transformations do not transform according to the selected reference point.

    EXPECTED RESULT: when the reference point is set to centre, I expect the transformation to apply 50% of a change in the height or width value equally to both sides of the object.

    ACTUAL RESULT: The transformation behaves as it was set to left and applies 100% on the new value to the right side of the object.

    To see this bug in action, please watch the attached clip.

  18. Not being able to grab smaller objects

    I don't know exactly when this changed but I noticed how system has a much lower grabbable distance around things. I end up toggling a lot between the outline view ctrl+Y and selecting things that way which is not efficient.
    we always have a lot of fills and effects, so when I try to grab things I'm always grabbing shadows that are so much larger than the line it came from so I have to use it a lot. This didnt use to happen before with older versions, can this be improved for future upgrades?
