Direct selection tool not resizing selected artwork
When I try to click on an anchor point and resize my artwork with the direct selection tool, it does not resize the artwork anymore. It just moves the artwork. Fortunately, I can still use the Free Transform Tool to resize objects and artwork. This is on Windows 10 in Illustrator CC 22.1.

Lasso tool not selecting
Since updating Illustrator a month or so ago, the lasso tool rarely works. No vector points are selected and I'm having to use the direct select tool instead.

What is your exact OS details and version used?
Can you record a short video demonstrating the issue?
Please comment back, the team lack details on this issues and can’t really start investigations this.

Illustrator Version: CC 2019, germanThe Graph tool needs many bugfixes.
1. when trying to enlarge the data window or some of the columns in it, sometimes the cursor switches so that you see you can now pull the line between two colums and enlargen the column. Sometimes it doesn't (see jpg).
2. When trying to insert a line break in one of the text lines in a chart (by inserting the vertical line glyph by copy&paste), german Umlauts are changed into strange glyps (see jpg)

Rotate tool Glitch
My rotate tool when used for copying with or without my wacom, starts sticking, and the object just keeps moving with my cursor. My only fix is restarting and hoping the app saved my recent changes. This is hindering me from doing BASIC and Simple things like copying a custom shape and maintaining the circular composition. I was trying to make a unique cycle like shape. I put the rotate point in the center and i was attempting to duplicate that shape inside the circle but instead of copying or doing anything, it just kept rotating even after i let…

Can't see anchor point and handles of paths after breaking link to symbol.
- Version 21.1.0
- Draw the circle or any other simple shape, convert it to symbol then break link to symbol. Choose Direct selection tool and click on any anchor point. As result you will not see the handles of any point. The handles are shown only in isolation mode or outline mode but not in basic prewiew mode.

Dimension tool prefers to snap to or edit an existing dimension instead of starting or completing a new one
Take a look at the GIF.
I need to measure the width of one square, and then measure the overall width of both squares.I create the first dimension with no problem.
However, when I try to create the second one, Ai plays dumb.When I click the leftmost point, the tool thinks that I am to EDIT the existing dimension (although I am clicking and not click-and-dragging, and I am clicking an endpoint of it, and not in the middle!)
Well... I can lock the first dimension (which would require me to abort, select the first one, lock, and…

Scaling an illustration with grouped guides, the guides do not scale anymore with (V) tool CC2020
This morning it worked fine but this evening it didn't work anymore. I reinstalled illustrator CC2020 twice. Please can you fix this problem? It is not about CMND+SHIFT+B and I don't want to use the (S) Scale tool. So please can you fix this problem asap.
Thank you

Fix NO handles on shapes
Shapes created with shape tools do NOT have corner rotate options available anymore.
I'm really starting to look into Corel Draw or really any other program just so I don't loose more work DAYS trying to figure out the latest friggin bug release - not seeing a lot of improvements just bugs.
How about you just leave things alone for a while and focus on quality and reliability.
That'd be nice.Adobe is making itself pointless and overly expensive with lost productivity.

Disappearing an outline size diameter of a brush tool
When you just launch the Adobe Illustrator, you can see the outline size diameter of the cursor of brush/blob brush tools, but when you have drawn something the outline disappears , you can see only an icon of the brush and no clue what size is currently on.

Align not working when ALL items in a group are selected
Since updating to CC 2018, align to selection and align to artboard are not working when ALL items in a group are selected.
Align appears to work if ALL BUT ONE item in the group are selected ... but if the final item is selected, it stops working ... nothing happens.
This is not ideal as it means you then have to align the remaining item with the rest of the group manually ... with transform or by eye.
8 votesHi,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
I am not able to reproduce the issue on my side and behavior is similar to Illustrator CC 2017 version. If you think behavior is changed in Illustrator CC 2018 kindly share a small video of Illustrator CC 2017 behavior and Illustrator CC 2018 behavior at sharewithai@adobe.com so I can further investigate it.
Please do mention the link of this thread so we can identify you

Incorrect line weight scaling after vertical reflect command
With "Scale Strokes & Effects" turned on in preferences, using the transform panel to change the length of a line after it has had the vertical reflect command used on it will incorrectly scale the line weight.
Attached images show the scaling behaviour after the vertical reflect command has been performed.Adobe Illustrator 2023 27.8.1 64-bit

Small objects don’t have corner widgets displayed
Small objects don’t have corners widgets displayed.
Take a look at the test file with small 3 rectangles.
The largest one does have its widgets, but two smaller ones don’t.
Once you scale them up to 110%, the middle one now has them.
Another scaling up — all three now have them.Yes, these are very small, hardly larger than 1 pixel! But what a difference it makes for a user? None, really. Ai is capable to display all of them and allow tiny transformation, like this scaling up. Why does rounding some corners should be anything different?

Rotation is too sensitive. I cannot use transform options.
Rotation was too insensitive in the previous version.
Rotation is too sensitive in this version. It is prioritizing it over everything else too much.7 votes
