Pattern Tile Seam lines
Can we please find a way to fix those tiny 0.5 px seam lines we ALL have had to deal with for years? The ones that you see when you zoom in or out at certain levels? The ones that don't apparently print? However, they for sure show up when importing patterns into Photoshop, so they aren't just imaginary. When building a Photoshop pattern that begins as a vector pattern, it becomes a nightmare having to meticulously clone them out. Please fix this if at all possible!

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.…13 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.

Mixed stroke colors become white when changing fills using CMYK spectrum in an RGB document

4. Select both
5. In Control panel Shift+click the arrow button next to the fill chip, to call the alternate UI with sliders and spectrum instead of Swatches view
6. In this dropdown panel’s menu pick CMYKStrokes become white.
This does not happen if the color mode in this panel is left RGB or HSB.
Also, strokes become white if you pick a color in…11 votes -
Pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in Color field no longer adjusts other color values proportionately with live color preview since 27.1.1
Prior to 27.1.1, when live color changes were made, we were able to use Ctrl/Cmd+Enter after changing a value to proportionally move all other sliders, which is an equivalent of dragging a slider with Ctrl/Cmd key held.
The face the preview is now live should not kill this old feature., since Ai surely can remember previous values.11 votesWe have fixed the issue and a build with the fix is available in Beta.

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.

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…

Cannot see gradient annotator when several objects are selected
Hi, in the latest version of Illustrator (2020), I can't see the gradient annotator when I select several objects at the same time. With a single object selected the annotator looks correctly, but when selecting two or more objects it is no longer displayed.
In previous versions, the gradient annotator is shown when selecting several objects, which I find very useful for copying the properties of the gradient from one object to another.10 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.

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.

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!9 votes -
CC Library to Illustrator Swatch: Name Length Bug Creates Magenta Spot Color
When adding a Color Swatch to Illustrator from the CC Library:
If the CC Library item's name is over a certain number of characters, Illustrator cannot import the swatch correctly.
Instead, Illustrator imports the CC Library color as a Magenta Spot Color.
The only workaround currently is to shorten the CC Library item's name to match the maximum allowed characters for an Illustrator Swatch, and then import the color.
FIX: Allow more characters for Illustrator Swatch names to be compatible with with CC Library character length for items.

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…

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。

Illustrator CC won't embed color profile correctly
Windows 10 64-Bit
Illustrator 22.0.1Whenever I am saving an Illustrator .ai file with the checkbox for embed color profile checked, the resulting file does not have a color profile embedded correctly. When I reopen that file in Illustrator it seems to have the correct profile embedded but in Bridge or InDesign the file appears to have no color profile attached. If I export the same file as .psd file Illustrator embeds the color profile correctly.
My colormanagment is synched via Bridge.8 votesPlease get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html .

カラーコード入力で色を変えると戻れない
Illustrator 26.2.1
windows10 21h1カラーモードRGBでカラーパネルもRGBでの作業で、カラーコード(#と6桁)を打ち込んで色を変え、前の色に戻したいなとctrl+z(取り消し)を押すと挙動がおかしいです。

ご対応のほどよろしくお願い致します。

The colors in the closed file are persistently and almost forcibly trying to enter the palette.
Let's say a spot color was used in a previous work and somehow copied. Later, when the file job is finished and I start another new job even though I have closed it, the copied color in the closed file persistently and almost forcibly tries to enter the palette. I tried to describe it simply in the video.

Color Theme Picker works with problems
After the Adobe Illustrator update (don't know if it was the last one in April 2021 or the previous one) Color Theme Picker in a new version of the Recolor Artwork tool stops working. Not only in my app but in the apps of at least 3 people - different OS, different computers. It just doesn't activate then you click the icon.
The solution was found but it was very strange - you need to open Adobe Illustrator not directly on your computer but through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app. Then Color Theme Picker starts working. And continues to…

CMYK Colors change by themselves randomly
Watch as I simply keep trying to specify a color in a CMYK document. Simply changing the hex code, then deselecting the element, then double click the fill box to open the color, and sometimes it stays, sometimes it changes. I change it, it changes again. I need this to work 100% I can't have colors randomly changing on me after I specify them. I can also trace similar color problems back since v6 or so - had many color inconsistencies between illustrator versions, this constant color shift battle has to be fixed
