1. Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1

   Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.

   Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.

   The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.

   Hi Everyone,

   We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 28.2.0 which is available worldwide now. Thanks for your patience on this.

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

2. Deselect Artboards command and hotkey problem

   When you pick the Artboard Tool, you enter a special 'artboard mode', and it modifies the behavior of standard 'object mode' commands.

   For example, pressing Cmd/Ctrl + A (Select All) will select all artboards instead of objects.

   But for some reason pressing Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + A (Deselect All) does not deselect all artboards, but selects them all instead.
   And if I try to call it from the menu, it will deselect objects instead of artboards (if I have any object selected) or just be inactive (if I have no object selected).

   This is hardly consistent and makes deselecting artboards a problem.

   One can say you can deselect them by clicking empty canvas... but the problem is that accidentally clicking an object creates a new object-size artboard instead, and not seeing empty canvas in a view is a common thing, and there is just no space you can click to deselect.

   ...and Ai does not even change a cursor when a click is going to create a new object-size artboard! You can vote for changing it here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47070346

3. Illustrator freezes after computer date changes several times.

4. Transparency panel shows 0% for the mixed opacity values

   When having a selection of art with mixed opacity values, Transparency panel should display blank, as Illustrator does for color values or stroke weights, but instead it lies they all have 0%.

   Take a look at the GIF attached.

5. Crash after moving complex artwork outside the artboard

   I'm testing the new release (27.2 on MacOS) before the whole company can safely move to the new environment. I basically can crash the whole software in a few seconds. What I need to do is:

   1) I need to open a big file - I've used files 23.5 MB, 43MB, 64.7 MB, 15.1MB (the files have been created in previous versions of Illustrator ).

   2) Turn on wire view in Illustrator (command + Y)

   3) select with lasso all points that are on the artboard

   4) switch to select tool (V)

   5) Start to move objects outside of the artboard. Within 1 to 10 moves Illustrator crashes.

   I'm going to test the same files on PC with Windows on both Illustrator 27.2 and 25 and I will share my observations with you

6. Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)

   Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
   The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!

7. A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong

   Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
   When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.

   1. Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
   2. Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
   3. Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
   4. Select text object again — Ai displays the size and coordinates of the rectangle instead of the numbers’ values
   5. Select both the numbers and the rectangle — again, when the text is included in the selection, Ai display the previous values

   The object is a compound shape, made of a live text, with a Drop Shadow effect applied. If you hide or remove the effect — values get calculated fine.

   If you release the compound shape and reapply the drop shadow — the bug vanishes — values get calculated fine.

   The purpose of the compound shape (which one can create with the native Pathfinder > Make Compound Shape command, from the flyout menu) is to get a proper result with the 'bronze+shadow' graphic style you can check in Graphic Styles. If a text is not converted into a compound shape before applying it, Illustrator applies it only for the first character, because it treats any text as a 'group' of characters, instead of a single compound path / shape.

   Reproducible on Windows for 26.5.1 and 27.1.1

8. Alt/Opt clicking into the spectrum bar in Color panel now changes both fill and stroke on release

   When I hold Alt/Opt and drag the cursor over the spectrum bar, I am able to change the color of the inactive attribute — in this case stroke, since fill is activated. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the fill gets changed to the picked color too! This was not the case in the the previous version.

   The behavior no longer happens in 28.0

9. Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas

   If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.

   Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.

   It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

11. Isolate object doesn't work at all inside Envelope's 'Edit contents' mode

    When you edit contents of an envelope distortion, using the dedicated button in Control to do so, Isolation is not possible. I somewhat understand what technical difficulties are behind this, but... this feature is not new. You should have completed it way long ago. It’s sad to see when integration between native tools is poor and unpolished.
    I need to isolate whenever I need to, within envelopes, compound paths, type characters.

12. PNG import broken

    Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)

14. Global Color swatch copied into new document even if not used on element being copy/pasted.

    Problem: create a square with stroke=0 and fill=100% black. Copy and paste into new document and color swatches are okay. Now go to first document and add a Global Color swatch (i.e. Pantone Green) but don't add it to the square (so it's still stroke=0 / fill=100% black). Copy the square and paste it into a new document. For some reason, that Global Color (Pantone Green) swatch is added to the swatch palette of the new document. Now choose 'Select All Unused', the Pantone Green is selected to prove it's not being used in the element (square) you copy/pasted from the first document.

    Add to this: Add another Global Color (Pantone Purple) to the first doc but don't add it to the square. Copy/paste into another new document and only the second color swatch (Pantone Purple) is added to the new document.

    Now: Delete the first Global Color (Pantone Green) in the first doc. Copy/paste the square and add it to still another new document. You'll see a color swatch added called 'Deleted Global Color (Pantone Green)'.

    I just noticed this bug and posted it in the forums. Another user confirmed they see the same issue dating back several versions. This can be quite a problem when trying to move elements from one document to another.

15. Illustrator 25.4.1 Generating constant 105MB log files into com.adobe.dunamis folder and filling up hard drive

    When I am working in Illustrator, my fan starts to run and Illustrator generates multiple log files per minute in the com.adobe.dunamis folder. Each log file is roughly 105MB and before I was able to pinpoint what was going on, it filled my hard drive with 750GB of log files. If I close Illustrator and reopen it, it stops for awhile but I haven't been able to pinpoint what triggers the start of the log file generation – it isn't consistently doing it, but it does occur multiple times per day.

16. Copy/paste vector: Illustrator → Figma/Inkscape gives inconsistent results

    SInce 25.3, some shapes are distorted when copied from AI to Figma, Inkscape or any other software, as you can see in the attached image.

    It's not systematic. I attached a document to reproduce the issue.
    Note that it's not fixed by the last prerelease.

    I attached an example.

18. Illustrator holds on to DWG/DXF files until it quits

    If a DWG/DXF file is opened, imported or even looked at by illustrator, then those files can't be moved, renamed, deleted or modified at all until illustrator is quit. Windows shows the error "Can't do 'x' because the file is still open in Illustrator.
    Seems to be a 2020/2021 issue as 2019 doesn't do the bug.

    Hi All,

    
    

    Thanks for reporting this issue, but as we are unable to reproduce the same inhouse, we would need some more information 

    
    

    • Please share the details of the Ai version (desktop) you are using.
    • If possible , it would be helpful for us to reproduce the issue if you could share the files with which you constantly face the issue.
    • Please share system details and GPU details for the machine you are using.
      

    
    

    Warm regards,

    Aishwarya G Gadodia

20. Bug when Alt/Option-dragging multiple points with Direct Select

    In Illustrator version 24.3, I'm getting a bug with Alt/Option-dragging multiple points using the Direct Selection tool. See screen recording attached.

    Opt+dragging one point gives expected results.

    Opt+dragging 2 or more points copies the entire object.
