  2. Guides and SmartGuides not showing in Illustrator 25

    Guides and SmartGuides are not activating. I have tried every fix suggested in forums, all the way to uninstalling, cleaning with the provided cleanup tool, and reinstalling. Still, the guides don't show. Have toggled every snap feature in every possible combination, they still don't show up.

  3. Workspace Panels Disappearing and/or not opening

    I have a problem with workspace panels not showing up sometimes, or showing up but won't expand in order to use them after I launch Illustrator. The problem only affects the panels on the right, it never affects the toolbar or control panel.

    I have had this problem over many versions of Illustrator, on different operating systems including fresh Adobe and Mac OS installs from scratch (not migrated) However I am currently on Mac OS 10.15.6 using Illustrator 25.1 and now very fed up with the bug.

    A brief Google search shows others are having the issue too: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/workspace-panels-disappearing-and-or-not-opening/td-p/6781529?page=11

  4. 25.1 Type Library is invalid

    Can not create Illustrator.Application.

    The CLSID value stored in the Windows registry and ScriptingSupport.aip is different.

    It seems that you need to create an Application object with a new CLSID, but the 25.0 version ID is stored in the registry.

  6. Not possible to install Illustrator on M1

    can't download the apps from my Creative Cloud. Error message 146.
    I have granted all access rights to the necessary folders and subfolders, but still get the error message. Setting up a new user admin did not help either.

  9. Scale Stroke & Effects not working with Symbols in Scale Window

    The Scale Strokes & Effects checkbox in the Scale Window doesn't work with Symbols.

    You have to enable/disable Scale Strokes & Effects before entering the Scale dialog to get it to work with symbols.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  11. Whenever I enter Outline mode(Ctrl+Y), Illustrator turn into 'view using CPU mode

    I can reproduce this bug on my rig. Whenever I enter outline mode(Ctrl+Y), illustrator, initially using GPU to render the artwork, turn into using CPU. And it stay there even I exit the outline mode.

    • The only thing to fix it is close the file and open it again. It's getting annoying pretty quickly(part of it because 'View using CPU' performance is abysmal and sluggish. My CPU has 6 cores 12 thread, not top of the line, but not cheap model either.

    -I also found that it's not only about the outline mode that cause this, but other reason as…

  13. warp Effect not working

    I used to be able to take a straight line and make it wavy with the Effect > Warp > Wave effect - I see that there was a previous 'resolved' ticket on this - it is NOT resolved. I have been using Illustrator for over 25 years and have never seen this app in such a bad state. I am spending more time here today flagging bugs than working on my projects today. I hope you understand how frustrating ALL these bugs are when you are trying to get a project out the door and a client is screaming…

  14. A máscara de opacidade não é redesenhada em tempo real / Opacity mask does not redraw in real time

    Amigos, bom dia.

    Após algumas atualizações, tenho notado que o uso do recurso "Opacity mask" em meu Illustrator não consegue apresentar o resultado visual (redesenho) em tempo real. Se eu não forçar a visualização com "View / Outline (Command + Y)" o efeito não pode ser visto.

  15. Live text displaying incorrectly along with objects/outlined text

    1. I am running an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020) with Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2)
      Adobe is version 25.1

    2. I have recently upgraded my imac and the type is displaying jagged, and filling in areas that shouldn't be when applying a small stroke (attaching images for reference). The issue occurs when I'm using GPU. When I swap to CPU, it actually displays perfectly, but moving around the artboard and zooming becomes super laggy and slow. When I outline the text, the filled in area (on the M) disappears, which is good, but I do experience that same jaggedness you can see in…

  16. Bugs avec Windows 10 Pro

    De nombreux bugs d'utilisation des logiciels Adobe avec Windows 10 Pro (In Design / Illustrator et Photoshop).
    Création de Nouveau document : les options de nouveau document ne répondent pas (dans l'interface de démarrage du logiciel et dans le logiciel par le menu), même constat dans InDesign.
    Merci de trouver des solutions à tous ces bugs présents dans la suite Adobe pour ceux et celles qui comme moi, utilisent Winsdows 10 Pro pour travailler.

  17. Illustrator 25.1 (64 bits) doesn't open some files on previous versions

    When I try to open some files created a year ago, Illustrator show me an error window which explains that the program have tried to recover the file but partially. When I click open, only an artboard appears and nothing else.

    After that, I close the project and a pop up window ask to rate the recovery functionality. For now it is dreadful. Hope You can fix it soon

    Thank you very much

  18. Opening a v25 .ai file with illustrator v25.1 causing text issues

    I received an illustrator file from a client that was v25. I already had all the necessary fonts used in the project. I opened it with the latest version (25.1) and the text on almost every artboard was altered in some way. Often all the text in a text box was gone except for a few characters. After downloading AI 2020 I was able to open the project file with the text in tact.
