   When fill is focused, setting [None] adds the white (K=0) chip into Recent Colors sections.
   Doesn’t happen for strokes.

   Hi Everyone,

   We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 29.8.1 which is available worldwide now.

   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. New Artboard Paste in Front Fails and Select Artboard Fails in Artboards panel

   Illustrator 29.6.1 - Mac
   When starting with more than one artboard.
   If you select all objects on an artboard. Copy.
   Then make a new identical artboard in another position to the artboard you copied artwork from, you cannot select the new artboard and paste in front.
   I suspect it is a bug how illustrator keeps track of how many artboards it has because the name is always artboard [number] and the new artboard number in the name is always incorrectly one higher than the actual number.
   You can no longer select an artboard in the Artboards panel and select objects you create on the new artboard using Select All on active artboard.
   This creates a problem in Extendscript or AppleScript because you can no longer set the active artboard correctly and have it display properly even with redraw. This bug does not occur in 29.5

3. Scroll wheel over Opacity input field only affects selected object if the input is NOT focused

   1. Switch to the CPU preview, or use the GPU preview and turn off 'real-time drawing & editing'.
   2. Make an object. Keep it selected.
   3. Hover your cursor over the opacity numeric input box in Transparency or Properties. Play with your scroll wheel. Watch the opacity change.
   4. Click in the input box. Keep the cursor over it. Play with your scroll wheel. The number changes but the object does not, until you hit return.
   5. Try this in Illustrator 2020. Observe that in both steps 3 and 4, the object changes opacity regardless of whether you click on the opacity input box or not.

   The settings in the Performance pane of the prefs interact with this:

   If the GPU preview is on, this only happens if 'real-time drawing and editing' is off.

   If the CPU preview is on, this always happens regardless of the status of the real-time drawing switch.

   I observed this on a Mac running OS 14.7.6 and Illu 29.3; this change happened somewhere between 24.3 and 29.3. I just checked 27.8.1 and it has the new, undesired behavior as well. I'll see if I can get the person who brought this glitch to my attention to report their operating system and Illu version here as well.

   This may affect other input boxes, I tried a few different stroke weight boxes and it does not affect them. The original discoverer suggested that other input boxes are affected but only listed the opacity.

4. The name of the missing link gets trimmed from the left side in the file name field in the dialog

   But why the name of the link in File Name field in the dialog gets displayed trimmed from the left side, even though the input has PLENTY of space in my dialog window?
   This behavior is not new.
   I have my guesses that it’s a legacy behavior, to make sure the name is seen on a smaller screen in the smallest dialog... but Ai probably knows the size of the dialog window and can calculate if it fits?

5. Can't Save multiple artboards as a Single File PDF from Export for Screens in 29.6

   Even though the single file option is checked, multiple artboards will not be saved in a single file, but as separate PDFs.
   This worked in previous versions.

6. Holding Shift ignores Snap to Grid when creating artboards

   When Snap to Grid is enabled, artboards now respect it, both when moved or get created... unless you hold Shift to constrain proportions when resizing or making it a square.

   Totally works for rectangles, I can see no reason to prevent artboards from behaving in a similar fashion.

   Here’s a somewhat similar request about these also misbehaving with smart guides:

7. Allow to change scale and precision, show/hide units for existing dimensions

   Once dimension is created, we can’t change some parameters of it: scale, precision, units displayed.
   We can open Dimension Tool Options and change these for NEW dimensions, but both Properties and Control don’t allow to modify existing ones.

   The only thing we can do is change these parameters, create a new dimension and then hit 'Apply to all' button in Quick Actions section in Properties (which should be a menu command as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378) — but what if we don’t need to change ALL the dimensions, but only some?
   Another thing is to delete a dimension and recreated it (but what if I have hundreds of these on canvas already?)

8. Can’t place an object between unfurled groups in Layers

   If you have two groups unfurled in Layers — good luck in positioning an object between them in Layers. Any spot you drop it in will move it into either group, like the first attached GIF shows.

   And if the object is originally within a group, you’d have to move it outside first, collapse both groups and only then put it in-between... when you have a complex layer structure it can be very painful.

   Unlike in Photoshop (GIF 2), Send Backwards / Send to Back won’t move the object outside of the group, and dragging the layer to the left side of the tree doesn’t work s well — in Photoshop it just works, in Illustrator we get the 'forbidden' cursor.

10. ダイレクト選択ツールの動作がおかしい - Direct Selection Tool can’t move points with Snap to Grid enabled

    ダイレクト選択ツールの動作がおかしいです。(English below Japanese)
    「グリッドにスナップ」がONの状態で、グリッドに沿っていないオブジェクトの辺やアンカーポイントをダイレクト選択ツールでクリックしようとしても選択できません。また、クリッピングマスクを施した画像に関しては、「グリッドにスナップ」がOFFの状態であっても、マスクの辺やアンカーポイントを選択できません。
    このようなことは以前は発生していませんでした。なお、環境設定をリセットしても直りません。

    使用OS：mac OS Sequoia（バージョン15.3.2）
    Illustratorのバージョン：29.4

    The direct selection tool is not working properly.
    When “Snap to Grid” is enabled, clicking on an edge or anchor point of an object that does not follow the grid will not select it correctly. Also, regarding clipping masks, even if “snap to grid” is disabled, the edge or anchor point cannot be selected.
    This troubling event had not occurred before. Resetting the preferences does not fix the problem.

11. Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info

    If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.

    I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
    But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.

    If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and press the button in the Color panel... yeah, it won’t work for several of these selected, but that’s another problem.

12. Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs

    This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...

    Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...

    Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...

    Shame!

13. Measure tool / Info panel does not show area for for many things

    Recently Measure tool started to calculate are for selected / clicked objects, originally requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33527584

    However, it’s very basic.
    1. It does not show an area for objects with no fill
    2. No area for objects within a clipping mask
    3. No area for the visible area of a clipping group as a whole
    4. No area for an opaque raster image (not that hard to multiply two values)
    5. ...or for a partially transparent raster image (again, we can evaluate this manually, by using a fill + Outline Object trick)
    6. Nothing for meshes, live text, symbols, compound shapes...

    Finally, the Info panel requires you to pick the tool to start showing the area! Perhaps you should just show the area at all times?

14. Properties Panel Content Missing in Illustrator v29.3

    Description of the Issue:

    After upgrading to Illustrator v29.3, the Properties panel no longer displays its full content. For example, when selecting a rectangle, the panel only shows "Rectangle" and "Quick Actions," while other expected options are missing. This issue persists even after clearing the cache, resetting preferences, and restarting the application.

    I downgraded to v29.2.1, and the Properties panel worked as expected. However, when I upgraded back to v29.3, the issue reappeared, confirming that this is specific to the v29.3 update.

    System Information:

    • Operating System: macOS 15.3.1
    • Adobe Illustrator Version: v29.3

    Steps to Reproduce:

    • Upgrade to Illustrator v29.3.
    • Open an existing file or create a new one.
    • Select an object (e.g., a rectangle) and check the Properties panel.
    • Notice that the panel does not display the full options as it did in v29.2.1.

    Expected Behavior:

    The Properties panel should display all relevant options for the selected object, as it did in v29.2.1.

    Actual Behavior:

    The Properties panel only shows limited options (e.g., "Rectangle" and "Quick Actions") and does not display the full range of properties for the selected object.

    Request for Assistance:

    Please investigate and address this issue in a future update. If a workaround is available, I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this while using v29.3.

15. Eyedropper cursor blinks while held

    If you pick Eyedropper tool and hold it to sample a color continuously — it blinks, jumps, tries to change into a default pointer arrow.
    Take a look at the small GIF attached, or watch a video by Laura Coyle here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lauracoylecreative_adobeillustrator-color-activity-7274877800715583491-HkxB

    Happens on both Windows and Mac.
    And so you know it can work better and some other succeed — compare it with the way Affinity Designer does it (the second GIF).

    When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.

    However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.

    Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples of manually created objects all show the same appearance properties. Adding an object with the same attributes but which was created via an action shows "mixed appearances."

    This was posted in the Adobe community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/select-same-gt-appearance-works-manually-but-not-in-an-action/td-p/14898865

    Here are the steps to repeat:

    Make a new, blank document.
    Start recording an action in the Action panel.
    Record yourself making a new rectangle with the Rectangle tool.
    Set the Fill to Black, and the Stroke to None.
    Change the Opacity in the Transparency panel to 20%.
    Stop recording.
    Move that frame to the side.
    Manually create a new rectangle, using the same steps as above.
    Under the Select menu, choose "Same > Appearance."
    You should see the previous rectangle you made included in the selection.
    Your Properties and Attributes panels should contain the same information for both objects.
    Now run your action you just recorded in the Actions panel.
    Choose Select > Same > Appearance.
    Note that nothing else gets selected.
    Manually select the rectangle created by the action plus either of the ones created manually.
    Note the Attributes panel now says "Mixed Attributes."

    You recorded yourself making an object with certain attributes. You played back that action and according to every panel it has the same attributes as the one you previously created, but you cannot use Select > Same > Appearance to select them both because the appearances are "Mixed."

    The only way to work around this is to create a Graphics Style with the attributes (opacity, fill) being searched for. Then an object can be created with an action, the action can assign the Graphics Style, and then Select > Same > Appearance will find all of the objects with the same fill and opacity (even if those objects do not have the Graphics Style applied).

    When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.

    However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.

    Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples… more

19. [ExtendScript] TextFrame cannot be selected after creating

    In script, after creating a new TextFrame it cannot be selected the first time.

      (function () {
    
        if (0 === app.documents.length)
            return alert('Please open a document and try again.');
    
        var doc = app.activeDocument,
            results = ['Results:'];
    
        // experiment 1
        var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add();
        tf1.contents = '1. created, selected:';
        tf1.selected = true;
        results.push(tf1.contents + ' ' + (tf1.selected ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'));
    
        // experiment 2
        var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add();
        tf2.contents = '2. created, selected twice:';
        tf2.selected = true;
        tf2.selected = true;
        results.push(tf2.contents + ' ' + (tf2.selected ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL'));
    
        alert(results.join('\n'));
    
      })();
    

    Expected results: both tests would pass.
    Actual results: only the second test passes.

    See the discussion at this forum post.

    Note: this only seems to happen with a TextFrame. PathItems, for example don't show this bug.

20. 「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を適用したIllustrator形式ファイルを配置すると中身が表示されない

    macOS13.6.7/Windows11
    Illustrator.28.6

    1. 新規ドキュメント上に適当に図形を描画、描画モード（乗算など）を設定する。
    2. ドキュメントの描画モードを分離を設定してIllustrator2020形式（PDF五感）で保存する。
    3. 新規ドキュメントを作成し、先のドキュメントを配置する。
    4. 配置されたドキュメントの内容が表示されず、空白のドキュメントを配置した状態と同様にある。

    期待する結果
    配置ドキュメントを正常に描画する。

    実際の結果
    配置された「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を行ったIllustrator形式ファイルは内容を正常に表示できない。

    回避方法
    Illustratorドキュメントに配置する場合Illustrator形式ファイルではなく別途PDFを書き出せば配置は可能ですが、データによってはPDFが意図したとおり書き出されない場合があります。
    基本的にはドキュメントに対してのこれらの処理は行わずに個別に調整するのが無難です。

    ここでは「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を行ったドキュメントについて報告しましたが、「ドキュメントのグループの抜き」が適用されたIllustrator形式ファイルも同様の問題を抱えています。
