  1. Adoben CC Libraries has been glitching.

    The toolbar with all the swatches and assets I have saved will suddenly shrink as if I hit cmd +/-. This mainly happens in illustrator but has happened in indesign and photoshop as well. Then I wont be able to click into or out of the libraries tab or accurately select what I want in the library as well.

  2. CC Color Library changes when moving to 2nd monitor

    When using a 2nd monitor, if I move a CC app from the primary laptop monitor to the secondary monitor, the CC Color Library changes. The color shifts are minimal, but enough to be problematic. Additionally, the background color of the library changes from the expected dark gray to a light gray.

    I've verified my monitors and they are calibrated properly, so this is not a monitor calibration issue. I noticed the issue within the last few weeks, less than a month ago.

    See attached images for examples.

  4. CC Library Legacy Warning

    Operating System: Windows 10
    Illustrator Version: 24.1.1

    I am trying to add a CMYK graphic to CC Library. When I do, I receive the warning:

    "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in."

    Resetting my preferences did not help. I checked for Adobe updates, but Creative Cloud doesn't indicate there are any available. If I add it as an RGB graphic, I do not get the error. But I need the CMYK version.

  5. Scroll on hover over unselected tools or library panels not working in 2020 release.

    Prior to the 2020 release of Illustrator, when I was working in a document (with my various tools panels and CC Library panel docked to the side of the page) I could have my artboard/artwork selected and hover my mouse over a tools pane or library and scroll to see my options (without clicking to select that pane.) Now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have to click on whichever tools pane or the library pane to activate it before I can begin scrolling through the options. It may not seem like much of a bug, but it actually…

  7. Fix Adobe Illustrator CC 2020 Type Library Reference - VB scripts return error

    We need to always keep the version of Adobe Illustrator CC up to date.
    Recently, the CC version used by the company has been upgraded from 2019 to 2020.

    We use the attached .NET Illustrator library module.

    As with other similar cases, I believe Adobe will solve it.

    Older versions work fine.

  8. CC Libraries import yields progress indicator for thumbnail

    With the most recent release of Illustrator (23.1.1) on a Mac running Catalina 10.15 Beta, any time I drag an item into the Libraries panel, a thumbnail fails to appear (instead I get a persistent animated progress indicator). I'm able to see the correct thumbnail of the imported item in other Adobe apps (Photoshop and InDesign), as well as online (Libraries --> View on Website). Only after I restart Illustrator do they appear.

Plus when I export the project as a export safe for web... png 24 the file export look pixellated and not a vector file.

  10. TIFF images as assets in CC Libraries are always placed as PNG images on the artboard

    1. Affected: Illustrator CC all versions that are working with CC Libraries.
      Tested with Illustrator CC 2019 version 23.0.3 on Windows 10. Illustrator versions on Mac OS X are also reported.

    2. Steps to reproduce the issue:
      Do a new CC Library.
      Add TIFF images saved from PhotoShop CC 2019 to the new library.
      Two options how you can do this that I know of:
      A. Drag the files from your file system to the open and empty library.
      B. Use Adobe Bridge CC 2019 to drag files to the open library.

    3. Expected result:
      If I want to use an image TIFF…

  11. Libraries stuck in "Add Multiple Assets"

    macOS Mojave 10.14.3

    This happens to me daily. My entire CC library will grey out and is stuck with the "add multiple assets" icon. I can kind of see what's underneath, but in order to get rid of this, I have to completely quit illustrator and reopen.

  12. Illustrator graphics from the Library are distorting when I "Option Click and Drag"

    First off this is only happening to me in Illustrator 2018. I just did an update over the weekend, and have been facing a number of bugs ever since. But the one I still havent figured out is this one. In my CC libraries, my team and I utilize it for vector icons. When I drag an icon into my file, it looks correct, but I cannot edit the colors. So when I "Option click and drag", it gives me the option to edit the icon, but it is distorting it by squishing it vertically. Has anyone else encountered this…

  15. Linked assets in CC Libraries render "file not readable"

    Having assets linked in CC Libraries renders the master AI file unreadable on another machine, despite being signed in on the same account. If I open the file on the original computer and collect it to a local folder, the file opens. This defeats the purpose of the Library.

  16. Creative Cloud is not syncing

    Creative Cloud files are constantly syncing in Illustrator. They don't show up online either. However, if I try to stop syncing through the app preferences it just displays error screens. I am on a Mac using High Sierra. log attached.

  17. Symbols and CC Libraries

    So there is a bug with symbols being used in CC Libraries that I came across. If you place a symbol on something and apply a type of appearance effect, like a warp, you are unable to place or open up that file again in the CC Library. You will get an error that says "Can't open the illustration".

  19. Older name is used in Share for Review

    When sending for review, I have shared it with my alternate email, and it keeps pulling up my former name- this was changed on my account setting in google admin, as well as my contacts list. How can I find out where it is finding and autopoulating my old name?

  20. Get the color wheel cloud to work properly

    I teach 5th grade and we made color using the Adobe Color wheel. Then when we went into our libraries in Illustrator those palettes showed up for only about 1/2 the kids. No idea why. When I did it I also did not get the colors I saved to show up in my Illustrator color library. Even weirder when I open Illustrator on a Windows device (instead of Mac) the color DO show up.
