Gaussian Blur does not scale. Frustrating
Gaussian Blur does not scale when I scale an object with the effect applied.
'Scale Strokes & Effects' is turned On.
Really frustrated because it's such a simple thing to recalculate it. Fix asap!31 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

3D extrude and bevel effect breaks on large paths
Windows 10 64 Bit, AI 23.1 .I've observed this bug all previous versions, and on multiple computers.
Add a 3D effect (eg. Extrude and Bevel) to a path and increase the scale... it always breaks past a certain size. The theshold increases with the extrude depth, so deep objects can be larger while flat objects (ie. no extrude depth) break at a relatively small size. Check out the attached image.
It's an extremely useful effect... clearly it would be a whole lot better if it could still be used at larger scales!

Arc Warp Effect with Unexpected Results (Combined with Masks)
When applying an arc effect shouldn't the mask dictate how the arc effect works and not the larger contents of the mask?
The results I am getting now appear to be possibly impacted by the larger/complex contents of the mask.
I have used a larger arc amount of 15% in the images below to exaggerate the difference I am seeing between the simplified design/mask and the second design with a larger pattern inside the mask.
Is this working as intended or is this an issue?

3D Extrude and Bevel
When I apply 3D Extrude and Bevel with cap set to 0 and surface set to no shading my image now has a background. Now I tried a few things to correct the image in 3D Extrude and bevel and the entire image is gone. The image frame is still there.
This occurred after the latest update to Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.1.2

Problem with Flatten Transparency
Hello,
I found a but in Illustrator CC 2019 and 2020 MacOS 10.14.6 and Windows 10 v1903. I will report this to Adobe.A. I create a glas effect on a non circle object with blending dark to light red and a black and white gradient mixed with ›screen‹ to it.
B. I flatten the transparency with the highest or other option. Always is a clip group (1), that shound be automatical removed. For better seeing, I put it on top of the group ›after flatten tranparency‹.1 vote -

Feather does not gradient to transparent
When 'feather' is applied to (in my instance) a black box overlaying a colored background, the black appears as a conspicuous grey.

Blurring is said to be possible but is not
There is no tool for blurring detail despite the fact that three ways of doing this are on the menu.

3D Extrude & Bevel Not Recognizing holes
Updated Ai CC today (6Mar'20) and getting some weird holes closing when trying to render. My frustration has led me to uncover that the holes (created using shape maker, but also tried pathfinder and used compound paths) only break once the outermost edges are altered. Find attached screen recording.
Please fix!!!1 vote -
Opacity issues with white
Opacities are not working correctly. When I have a shape with with a normal opacity set to a level below 100 and above another shape that is white. The white appears as a color underneath and it should not. it should be invisible. Also multiply effect is producing incorrect color values. Please see attached image.

Pathfinder bugs and artifacts
Pathfinder distorts curves and these distortions create stray points and small vector artifacts when I "slice".
This has been an issue from IL5 (pre-CS and pre-CC), when Pathfinder was first introduced.
Until Adobe increased maximum magnification, it was hard to tell what was happening, but in CC I can clearly see that in Pathfinder, smooth curves distort. My guess is something analogous to mathematical rounding errors in defining the berzier curve.
Sometimes, the distortion is very "squiggly", appears to be introducing the 'QuickDraw error (reported separately), and produces unusable results.
While most of these errors and artifacts are essentially microscopic,…

Effects Preview Checkbox Has No Effect After First Check
Version 24.0 (64-bit)
When applying an effect to a path in Illustrator, checking the "Preview" checkbox will preview that effect, but unchecking the box does not return the path back to its original shape. To test:
Use the pen tool to draw a multi-segment shape.
Select the shape
Click Effect->Distort & Transform->Roughen
Click the Preview checkbox (the effect should be applied)
Click the Preview checkbox again (the effect will not be removed)I've tested this with most of the previewable effects in the Effects menu and they all behave the same.

Issues while in 3D Revolve. In the Ai 24.0.1 - MAC OS 10.13.6
While in 3D Revolve, I am trying to apply a created Symbol onto a half circle with a gradient. Within the dialog box, there is a message that says "the gradient will be rastorized", which changes my gradient from "red to black gradient" to a "balck and white gradient". That changes my whole effect.

Expand appearance stopped working for offset path on illustrator 2020
Sometimes there's no way to expand the offset path you created. Some other times it works, so I'm pretty sure it's a bug

Gradient, colouring and effect-error
The operations weren't particularly complex, a shape won't change fill between gradient, colour or even empty. The appearance panel is empty, and still there's no possible to change or remove the fill. I tried adding a gaussian blur, after which the entire figure disappeared. I thought it might be a preview issue so I exported it, but it was gone there as well. I attach a screenshot. Right before it happened I tried adding a complex clipping mask (but undid it).

FreeForm Gradient point should also move on transforming Freeform Art
Today I ran into a problem with Adobe Illustrator artwork featuring some freeform gradient fills. I had a to create flipped, mirrored version of it for printing purposes (graphics would be applied sub-surface to a sign face). The problem is the freeform gradient fills wouldn't flip with the rest of the artwork. I attached a visual example of it. Using the "expand appearance" command allowed for the artwork to be flipped 180° correctly. It would be nice if I could avoid that kind of a fix.
20 votesI am glad to update that this issue was fixed in 23.0.6 release.
Thank you for all the feedback.
