  4. Can't blend objects filled with gradient

    For whatever reason, I cannot blend shapes that are filled with a gradient. I've tried everything. This has never been a problem before this 2020 update. I'm ripping my hair out.

  5. Illustrator to Photoshop broken

    I am trying to bring my Illustrator drawing into Photoshop. Exporting from Illustrator to PSD format is giving me errors so I am trying to copy from Illustrator and paste into Photoshop as Smart Objects. This was one big object that I pasted into Photoshop. In Photoshop it displays just that one object. When I open the Smart Object in Illustrator I get the full drawing. I'm not sure which program is at fault but starting with Illustrator since the export function is failing.

  6. Accents disappear for capital Greek letters

    When choosing Type > Change case > UPPERCASE on Greek accented letters, the accents disappear

    For example:

    σπανάκι ψιλοκομμένο σε μερίδες
    Illustrator: ΣΠΑΝΑΚΙ ΨΙΛΟΚΟΜΜΕΝΟ ΣΕ ΜΕΡΙΔΕΣ <- Wrong!

    Indesign, Word...
    ΣΠΑΝΆΚΙ ΨΙΛΟΚΟΜΜΈΝΟ ΣΕ ΜΕΡΊΔΕΣ <- Right!

  9. report a bug

    Mac OSX 10.15.3, on a MacBook Air
    I have 2 screens. Built in and Cinema Display (It's stacked above).
    When Illustrator is expanded to full screen on the Cinema Display, the fx button doesn't show it's menu option. If the application window is less than the full height of the screen, it shows up. Note: My Appearance panel was at the bottom of the screen, so the fx button is at the bottom of the display.

  10. Last Update is making Illustrator behave unexpected showing something like "white noise"

    Last Illustrator update brings this weird issue after opening any file on my machine. As you can see it does not happen only on the work area, but also on UI components. While scrolling down and up again solves temporarily the issue on the work area, the UI cannot be solved neither minimizing or maximizing the program. After some seconds, the work area shows that error again, pixel by pixel.

    Machine: Surface Book 2
    Operating system: Windows 10 1909 (OS Build 18363.752)
    Illustrator version: 24.1.1
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
    Version of the driver: 26.21.14.4575

  11. I'm being auto signed out every night

    I'm being auto signed out every night. In the morning it shows a message to save open files but it only gives me the option to save, not save as so I have to overwrite important files or lose all the work I did the night before.

  13. artboard blinkins when open multiple files

    I've noticed that when you select few / many files (.svg) and drag & drop to illustrator icon on doc (mac) - I mean you open it, Illustrator starts to open the files and artboard starts blinking very fast (black / white).

  15. Horizontal and vertical paths have 0.0001pt height/width

    Illustrator v24.1
    macOS 10.15.4

    All strictly horizontal lines have 0.0001pt “H Value”, while all vertical lines have

    0.0001 pt “W Value”. If I manually type 0 in these fields, it reverses back to 0.0001pt. Using up and down arrows does not set this value to zero either.
    These same lines are 0pt height/width in the previous version of Illustrator.

  17. Anchor pointer options becomes active while having a drawing tool (rectangle, line etc) active

    Draw some shapes. Now try to draw another shape/line starting from one of the anchor point of the previous shape. You can't because the anchor selection tool becomes active and it will take over the action. Thsi wasn't like that.

    The alternative is to draw shapes somewhere else and move afterwards the anchors to snap together. But is very annoying !!!!
    Please fix it.
    Why the old applications work the best and the newer ones are totally messed up? Why break a thing that works?

  18. Round corners worked better before

    The round corner options when selecting a shape worked a lot better before the latest update (24.1.1). Before when you had hard edges in a shape you pretty much could make round edges on every corner. Now it only appears a few places.

  19. DRAW Projects can't be shared to Illustrator

    I am posting this as a BUG because I can't believe that this was intentional design--it must be a complete BUG.

    We can share individual drawings from Adobe DRAW to Illustrator, but when you have an entire PROJECT of drawings, the share option is limited to very LOW-resolution images on a web link or sending them to Behance as a portfolio piece.

    You don't want us to share a VERY BAD LOW RESOLUTION drawing to people do you? That can't be intentional.

    And why on earth can't we just send an entire project to our computer for Illustrator? I could…

  20. missing instances

    I've been working with a png logo and have been copy-pasting it in numerous layers and artboards of my work.

    My AI crashed, so I closed it via task manager. When I restarted AI, my png logo is gone from all the artboards. I can see that there's an "instance" of it (a black square", but the logo isnt registering. Tried to export, and it came out with an artwork without the logo.

    File 08 are the blanks after the crash
    File 10 has the logo that went missing.
