pattern swatches using raster artwork creating glitch
I am using a mac studio, M1 Max chip, Ventura 13.1, and Illustrator 27.1.1. Issue occurs when using GPU view.
I use pattern swatches extensively in my work to create a digital foil effect. My pattern swatches are made from raster images placed into Illustrator. I have been using this for years with no problem and am only experiencing this problem since upgrading my computer and my software.
When I move artwork that uses the pattern swatches, splotches of my pattern appear in my document, sometimes even on my artboard covering my artwork.
This directly interferes with my workflow.

"NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" APPEARANCE panel options NOT working for BRUSH
On the desktop version of Illustrator.....
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has a basic appearance as it is supposed to.
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" NOT set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has the same appearance as the last made pencil stroke as it is supposed to.
THESE TWO 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" SETTINGS in the APPEARANCE panel options unfortunately DO NOT WORK this way when using the Brush tool.

highlighted selection box not appearing for text
When I select text, the bounding box appears, but when I select actual letters/words to edit, there is no highlighted/selection box showing me that I am selecting characters and which one. It's like I'm playing a bit of a guessing game: let's see if I actually selected the letters I meant to, fingers crossed!
The picture attached shows through the character tool module that I've selected two slightly different fonts(same face & size etc, just different weight) but that the text itself doesn't appear to be selected. I've only selected the italicized to the blue text at the bottom of…

Automatic hyphen turns in to different glyph character
I have a strange phenomenon on my Mac (Ventura 13.0.1): in the example there are three identical texts in 3 different font types (purchased, Adobe and Google). All fonts are available in the font manager program (RightFont) and auto-activation is enabled (the fonts are NOT activated initially).
I open the Illustrator (27.0.1) file and RightFont reports that missing fonts are available for activation (Illustrator also reports this, but I ignore this message, as RightFont already 'takes care' of it.
As soon as the fonts are loaded, the purchased and Google fonts have a 'strange' symbol (usually a different kind of…

All elements disappearing the more I edit. They show in layers panel, but not on artboard or in exports.
I'm working from (an up-to-date version of) an Illustrator file with five differently sized artboards. They all are using the same elements and symbols, just arranged different for different layouts. When I click on one of the artboards and select a group to scale down, the elements begin disappearing and have not reappeared.
I exited the group and more elements in the artboard disappeared. Clicking out of the artboard group itself made the entire group disappear. When I click back into the artboard, selecting an element reveals the outlines and bounding boxes, but the artwork itself is not visible. Opacity…

Text highlighted with Layer color while I'm typing
Hi!
Do you have any idea why some of my Text objects stay highlighted with the Layer color while I'm typing (the yellow one in the video), and some don't (the orange one)?
Cmd-H doesn't change that (the yellow one stays highlighted while I'm typing).
Is this something in the Preferences, or Object settings, or Layer settings?
Thanks a lot for your help!
I'm on Mac OS 11.4, using Illustrator 27.0.1

Repeated items become invisible when I close and open Illustrator
I made a file in Illustrator with a few shapes that get repeated in a grid, but when I close and open the file again, some shapes become invisible. When I click on them enough so they get in isolation mode, they appear again, but everytime I open the file they are invisible at the start.
I tried to copy and paste these in a different document but that doesn't help.
My operating system: Windows 11 Home
Version of Adobe Illustrator: 27.1, but when I used 27.0.1 it was also there.1 vote -
Color changes when document is closed
I am working on several documents with a specific color, and when I close the AI file, the color switches to a different HEX code.
This issue has no pattern that I can understand, since it does not happen with all documents. It is even more odd because if I choose the color I want with the eyedropper, it remains correct, but if I write the HEX code, it does not. Besides, the color profile doesn't change when this happens, at least that I'm aware of.

Multiple import of SVG doesn't include filters. Only the first file opened includes filters.
Situation: I have 2 SVGs I want to import into Ai.
I import the first one and the SVG Filter Effects are applied as expected.
Then, when I open the second SVG, Ai just completely ignores the SVG effects.It's a simple bug which probably should have a simple fix.
However, as a developer, I wasted 6 hours of my time not realizing you could have such a trivial bug, one that's so easy to fix, in your software after this long.Here's the second bug: "upload files" feature for the bug request doesn't accept SVG. Or maybe it's just…

SVG - save as in illustrator version 27.0.1 - moving objects off artboard sporadically
The latest version seems to not be playing well with SVG formats. I have reverted back to 26.5.2 and the issue resolved itself.
When saving an SVG, everything looks fine. When it is opened again, all the of the objects are sporadically distributed on and off of the artboard. I have never seen this issue before and my save settings are the same.1 vote -
