  1. Opacity issues with white

    Opacities are not working correctly. When I have a shape with with a normal opacity set to a level below 100 and above another shape that is white. The white appears as a color underneath and it should not. it should be invisible. Also multiply effect is producing incorrect color values. Please see attached image.

  3. Font Sample Halt

    Hi,

    I'm frustrated that as I run down my list of fonts testing them on a specimen of type that the font scroll halts for no apparent reason, forcing me to use the down arrow and manually select the font I want to try the specimen on.

  4. expanding pie chart

    I found that you can expand a pie chart by making the chart, then taking the scissors tool and clicking on the points, then you can edit each slice!

  5. Impossible to apply graphic style to text background by moment

    I use lot of graphic style in my work, and I've to use it on text bloc (to create map mind per example)

    But sometimes, the style (or the color directly) doesn't work on the background (selected with the white arrow). The color appears in the properties but nothing happen… I have to create a new bloc and It works normally (or not sometimes)… I really think it's a bug it will be very nice to correct it because I often use this trick in my work!

    I use 24.0.2 on mac OSX Mojave

    Thx

  6. Fit to artboard

    Fit to artboard does not fit lines to the artboard that are on the edges. So when you export to indesign the lines are missing of halved

  7. Adobe Draw not sending AI to Illustrator CC 2020

    1. Windows 10 HOME / Adobe Illustrator 24.0.2 (64-bit)
    2. I logged out on every device from Adobe Creative Cloud and made sure I have up-to-date Adobe Draw on my Samsung S6 Tab as well as the up-to-date Illustrator on my Desktop PC. I am trying to send several projects from my tablet to Illustrator and they all say "Sent to Illustrator" but nothing happens on my Desktop. I have checked other articles that people posted and I have also tried to close the application, restart the computer/tablet, open them at different times, nothing is working. I have also checked Mobile Creations…

    Hi,
    I am unable to apply a gradient color for my rectangle box when I use the Fill tool, I tried changing to a solid color to see if the problem lies with only the gradient, but i isn't setting a color at all.

    Could you please solve this bug issue as soon as possible as I am using Illustrator 2020.

  11. 2020 .AI documents only opening .PDF pages in Illustrator CC

    I am using Illustrator 2020 on my personal laptop, saving work to my iCloud to continue working on the files in university.
    Recently the files will only open as a .pdf (giving options for pages and not showing all the information) on the university Illustrator CC.

    I could in theory Save as- Illustrator CC and presumably that would open okay, but it's annoying to have to do that every time!

    On these screenshot Issue 1, you can see the file I'm trying to open (Dinosaur Libby) has a lot of information in the thumbnail, but only opens what's seen in…

  13. BRING BACK FUNCTIONALITY OF ACTIONS

    As we all know all too well, the "engineering team" adds to and removes features from AI, apparently completely without considering its effective use or convenience.

    Their latest trick: many operations won't record automatically anymore in Actions going from v23 to v24. Please bring that back.

    Functions not recorded anymore so far:

    – Create text frame
    – Cmd/ctrl-0 Fit Artboard in Window
    – Save As (including location, file type eg PDF and its settings)
    – Close

    I you find more please add them to the list.

    I'm getting so tired of this ignorant behaviour!

  15. Problem with elements' IDs when export to SVG

    Sometimes when I export an AI file with some elements' names to an SVG file, it renames the IDs like if there are some duplicates.

    Usually I can fix it by renaming the "duplicate" elements with a dummy name and then rename them back, but often it doesn't work and I have to delete the file and work on a new one, copying and pasting only the "safe" elements and redrawing the "duplicate" ones.

    Sometimes it appends a special character on the IDs and when it happen I always have to work on a new file.

    Version: 24.0.2 (64 bit,…

  17. Goudy Old Style Font Style "Bold" is not available

    Creative Cloud shows 4 font styles for Goudy Old Style - regular, regular italic, bold, extra bold. I select all 4 to import to ai, but the BOLD font style doesn't come over - only the other 3. I have the AppleIOS version - AI 2020.. Thanks, Chet

  18. Scrollbars missing - Windows 10 - build 23.1 (64 bit)

    The scrollbars are missing when I open a file with multiple artboards. I see the zoom percent and artboard navigation inputs but they are floating almost 150px above where they should be. I've attached a screenshot of what I'm seeing.
    This issue only goes away for the current session when I fiddle with the UI settings, but comes back when I next start Illustrator.

  19. Text fields not immediately active when renaming library items

    Renaming library items takes several steps to ensure you are in the text field and any keyboard commands will not trigger tools/menu items.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Click on an object,
    2. Drag to Library panel—often takes several times as noted in the video
    (the libraries panel and new documents from libraries is flawed and not as efficient as Adobe Max presentations allude to, but that's another post)
    3. After item successfully copied to Libraries, right click it in the libraries panel and click Rename
    4. CLICK AGAIN ON THE TEXT FIELD OF THE LIBRARY ITEM
    If you do not…

  20. A new artboard created in a template with two artboards gets 'Artboard 2' name instead of 'Artboard 3'

    My default document I use to begin projects has two artboards. If I add a third artboard, it will be named "Artboard 2" and I have to go into the settings and rename it "Artboard 3" in order to print properly.
