  1. L'utilisation de l'outil Pipette nécessite l'utilisation du sélecteur de couleurs et la pression sur Entrée.

    Quand j'utilise la pipette pour sélectionner une couleur (peu importe en rvb ou CMJN) sur des visuels simples, (la plupart du temps) je suis obligée de passer par le sélecteur pour refaire la démarche et obligatoirement je dois appuyer sur entrée pour valider mon choix (si je fais ok ça ne marche pas non plus) (je suis sur mac 14.3.1) j'utilise illustrator 30.0.0 (et ce problème persiste depuis 2- 3versions antérieures déjà. J'avais essayé sur la suivante sans succès non plus. merci pour votre retour

  2. Fehler: Zeichenfläche verdoppelt beim Anpassen an Grafik

    Windows 11 Pro, AI.30.2.1.. ich markiere meinen Pfad und öffne "Zeichenflächen". Ich wähle "An ausgewählte Grafik anpassen". Bestätige. Nun sollte Zeichenfläche 1 eine neue Größe haben.
    Währenddessen wird die Zeichenfläche verdoppelt und eine Zeichenfläche 2 erzeugt.
    Der Fehler tritt nicht auf, wenn man sehr lange wartet zwischen den Arbeitsschritten. Also ca. das Fenster 1 Minute geöffnet lässt.

    Das Problem besteht seit ein paar Tagen. Eigentlich sollte die Zeichenfläche nur angepasst werden, nicht verdoppelt.

  4. Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.

    There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.

    This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.
    Gif was recorded using the latest version, 30.2.1.

  6. BUG: Swatch color not changing with selection of different element.

    When selecting individual elements in my .ai file, the swatch bar does not show the actual color. Instead, it shows the previously selected color.

    Something changed - you used to be able to select an element and easily determine which color it was. This glitch is a major problem - as I'm trying to prep my files for print and a small error will be quite costly.

    Instead, I have to double-click the "fill" color in the top of the swatch bar to open up the cmyk build

  7. Add Used Colors command in Swatches ignores colors from Repeat objects

    Repeat Objects are strange objects.

    If we choose Add Used Color, color from the repeat object are ignored.

    Another problem is that Select All Unused in Swatches selects colors used in Repeat objects: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/51093643

  8. Select All Unused in Swatches selects colors used in Repeat objects

    Repeat Objects are strange objects.

    If colors are only inside a repeat object, using Select All Unused will select the swatches even when use in the repeat object.

  9. Font explorer dropdown from the Character section in Properties panel is obscured by other panels with 2 columns of docked panels

    Running 30.2.1

    When the new Character panel is open and font has been selected, the panel is now so big that it becomes obscured if I open a property on the second panel, so I cannot make further font adjustments without closing the second panel.

    It seems the properties panel process is selective for some properties and not for others, e.g., Transform opens in both panels, whereas Appearance does not. The UX seems inconsistent. Something feels off.

  10. Dashed strokes with round caps and zero dash lengths (dotted dash) looks very imprecise when using Large Canvas, with GPU Preview

    A 1 pt stroke with 0 dash length, when created within a large canvas file, looks chewed. When expanded, the points get baked like this.
    CPU Preview shows these correct, but expanding it still creates dancing points.
    Doesn’t happening in a normal canvas sized docs.

    Large canvas should become stable finally. So many bugs with it!

  12. Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool

    Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.

    This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

  13. Illustrator slow and laggy with text

    When I'm trying to edit a text box, illustrator turns very slow and laggy. With a simple text box. When I try to change font size, or writting, it takes ages to assume it. And the document turns very slow.

    Please help with this issue

  14. Join tool creates bezier curves on straight lines

    Windows 11 Home, 25H2
    Adobe Illustrator, v29.8.4

    I connect straight lines together with the Join tool. In those corners I expect the lines to be straight lines on both sides of the node, but in some places I get Bezier curves. I really don't want that as this forces me to go over every node that was formed.

    The next issue is that during the Join tool process it adds one node (always only one for some reason). I then have to localize it and delete it. That's very frustrating.

    Plus I want a way to I want a way…

  16. Swatches panel not correctly displaying "Registration Black" swatch label, showing random characters, in a template file

    Opening up a company template .ait file and Swatches panel not displaying "Registration Black", but instead showing random characters. Wanted to know cause, if can be prevented, and/or corrected. Also if this is just some odd bug.

    We do have a central server location to access file since we do have in-office and remote workers. Everyone is instructed though regardless of location to grab files and work locally, but can not guarantee that this is done 100% of the time.

  17. Malha de gradiente

    Estou tentando usar a distorção de envelope pela malha para criar um padrão de gradiente e ele não permite que eu altere a cor dos pontos de ancoragem. O erro iniciou apenas quando atualizei para a versão de 2026.

  18. Spot Colors Won't Update In Linked Items

    Spot Colors are not immediately updating for linked items when adjusting the color values of the swatch. The change will only show after a few seconds, when the file is embedded, or when overprint preview is enabled. Previous versions of illustrator allowed spot colors to be updated for linked items immediately. Spot color adjustments only immediately affect objects that are embedded or built within the file.

    Using illustrator for color separations requires me to edit the appearance of spot white to be visible in different circumstances between film and art files.

  19. Text object becomes corrupted and cannot apply gradient or appearance

    Illustrator on Windows 11 sometimes turns normal point text into a broken area text object.
    When this happens:
    - “Convert to Point Type” does not appear
    - The text behaves like a text box even though it was created as point text
    - The Appearance panel cannot add a new fill (button is greyed out)
    - Applying a gradient turns the text completely black
    - Copy/paste keeps the corrupted state unless pasted as plain text

    This issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
    Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.

    I am…
