Bug of saving in the background of Illustrator 2020 If you save a document that uses a 2-byte spot color name in ai format, place this file in InDesign, Illustrator, etc.
It will be replaced by "Global color". And even if you export the PDF, it will be reflected. Turning off saving in the background can work around this, but this is an issue that should be resolved as soon as possible.120 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.1.1 for Win and 24.1 for Mac which is available worldwide now.

Non Functional Gradient stop bug in 'Color' panel When adjusting a colour stop its colour is visible in the 'Color' panel's 'Fill' field. You used to be able to cancel the stop colour by clicking on this 'Fill' field to go back to the gradient fill and to get the 'Stroke' colour back in sight.
This is no longer the case. In spite of Illustrator flashing the tool tip 'Click to cancel' clicking does not work at all. The fill colour is stuck on the 'Colour Stop's colour.
Now you can only see the 'Stroke' field in the 'Gradient' panel and the 'Tools' panel. This is a pain…55 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminAvinash Singh Kotwal (Sr. Product Manager, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Eyedropper doesn't work on groups (Adobe Illustrator CC 2018) When I select a group and I try to use the eyedropper tool, this seems to not work.
In the fill box in the toolbar it appears as the colour already changed, but the group still looks with the original colour.
If I ungroup the group, or if I unite the group with the pathfinder (plus cmd+8), then the eyedropper works regularly, but this is not the ideal way to work. I already contacted the support online, but the issue hasn't been sorted out properly.I use MacOS High Sierra — Version 10.13.6

A bug compounded with rotated line gradients, arrows, and appearances There are some conditions for reproduction.
・ Line with arrow
・ Set gradation to line color
Two or more lines created by the appearanceIt is good to change the line width or move by "deformation" to check the change of the overlapped line.
Rotate the object.
Then click on the eye icon in the appearance panel to show or hide each line. The direction of the gradation of the line not touching should change one after another.I have confirmed this phenomenon in all versions from CS6 to 2020.
A similar phenomenon was obtained with the vertical axis reflect.…14 votesHi,

Color palette overrides fill colors and color modes in Illustrator 2018 Hi, I am a design professor and most students in my class experienced a specific problem when we were doing an exercise to learn how to apply the correct color palettes to different logo files. Specifically, we created fictional identity designs as a means to learn how to create a production-ready bundle of files (a logo with versions in b&w, spot color (Pantone), 4-color process, and RGB). Almost 100% of my 18 students had their 4-color process file -- which was filled with CMYK colors upon designing, and should have stayed CMYK -- show up as being filled with RGB…

Overprint attribute does not work adequately Create or select any object. On the Attributes panel set Overprint Fill/Stroke checkmark.
After deselecting object Overprint attribute remains CHECKED instead of resetting. And every newly created object instantly receive this Overprint attribute!Very annoying and sometimes cause real troubles with undesired overprinted objects.
Overprint attribute should reset to UNCHECKED after deselecting an object.

Color change Problems I have a collection of swatch colors that I save, and for some reason, they are all getting dull. A bright orange to darker gradient turns to a muddy orange and all of the swatches are dull. I copy the logo from an older file and realize how dull my colors have become. You can see how dull the colors have become in the attached image. Also, the Graphic Styles have become duller. You can see the new refreshed colors form a different file with the two swatches at the middle bottom of the Graphic Styles window. This is a…

ブラックの色をドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100の色がリッチブラックになる 塗り(または線)を画像のように下のブラックを選択するところからドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100がリッチブラックになってしまった。 ドラッグ&ドロップではなく、クリックで色を選ぶとBK100になる。スウォッチの中に入っているブラックからドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100になる。これはCS6の時からある バグです。

Eyedropper pick wrong CMYK colors from image's RGB preview in CMYK document I know that AI's eydropper pick color not directly form raster image, but from it's preview, but I think it's terribly wrong, when you pick a color from a CMYK image placed inside CMYK document and get mutated color.
For example, I have photo blended into single colored background and I don't remember which one exactly. I pick this color with eyedropper inside AI to match image edge with vector background and it almost looks OK, but when it's printed, the mismatch is quite visible.
Other people, whose designs I dissect quite often, seem to forget or more likely don't…8 votes -
Eyedropper tool not working Sometimes when I use the eyedropper tool to change the color of text or objects, the fill color says it has changed, but the object looks the same. For example, in the screenshot, the text is selected and the fill color says it should be purple, but it is black.

Delete Color Group in Swatches ungroups group instead deleting When I need to completely delete color group, I select it and press Delete palette's button (or try palette's menu). Any way. AI moves all colors from at to general colors, removing only folder, but not colors, asking nothing (even with warnings reset).
I have to deselect my art, click first of moved colors, shift+click last and delete swathes again.7 votes
