  1. Editing 3d Extrude In Existing File Loses Some Values

    MacOS 10.15.7
    Adobe Illustrator 25.2.3

    The shading/lighting and depth options are sometimes saved, but the style is always lost upon accessing the 3D Extrude filter options on an existing file. Problematic for teams that may not be aware of a particular style/value since this effect is finicky to begin with.

  6. warp Effect not working

    I used to be able to take a straight line and make it wavy with the Effect > Warp > Wave effect - I see that there was a previous 'resolved' ticket on this - it is NOT resolved. I have been using Illustrator for over 25 years and have never seen this app in such a bad state. I am spending more time here today flagging bugs than working on my projects today. I hope you understand how frustrating ALL these bugs are when you are trying to get a project out the door and a client is screaming…

  7. A máscara de opacidade não é redesenhada em tempo real / Opacity mask does not redraw in real time

    Amigos, bom dia.

    Após algumas atualizações, tenho notado que o uso do recurso "Opacity mask" em meu Illustrator não consegue apresentar o resultado visual (redesenho) em tempo real. Se eu não forçar a visualização com "View / Outline (Command + Y)" o efeito não pode ser visto.

  8. Improper transperancy handling

    when creating an object with a simple transparency, it renders different siting above a white background vs a white object. I've had someone else recreate to verify it's not just my install. See attached screen shot.

  11. Kalligraphiepinsel

    Hallo, ich habe einen ovalen Kalligraphiepinsel angelegt und einem Pfad zugewiesen und die Pfad-Form erhält einen kalligraphischen Kontrast. Soweit so gut. Klicke ich allerdings erneut auf die kalligrafische Linie, um sie erneut dem Pfad zuzuweisen (zum Beispiel, weil ich diesen verändert/verlängert habe), so ändert sich mit jedem Klick der Winkel im des Ovals. Ein Bug oder eine Voreinstellung, die ich noch nicht kenne? Vielen Dank für jede Hilfe.

  12. 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top is skewed so edge does not run parallel with Isometric - Right

    I made a square out of vertical rectangles of alternating colour and wanted to make it into each face of a cube.

    However, 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top (with no bevel or shading) effect is slightly skewed.

    Therefore, I cannot connect each anchor point to make a cube. See screenshot to see how the top's edge veers away from the right side.

  15. The Operation Cannot be Completed due to an Unknown Error (CANT) 3D effect

    I am encountering an issue anytime I attempt to edit the Bevel and Extrude effect on my design. It keeps providing me with a vague error "The Operation Cannot Be Completed Due to an Unknown Error (CANT)" and it will not apply the effect or allow edits.

  16. Outer Glow producing odd glowing corners around objects

    When applying an outer glow, I get rectangular glowing corners around the objects with applied effects. Deleting a reapplying using a different setting solves the issue about 50% of the time. Something that has only happened since the last AI update.

  17. Crash after trying to delete crop marks fx

    Whenever I try to delete the crop marks effect on a document Illustrator just crashes. At first I thought it was because the document was made on a previews version of AI but it's also happening with new documents whenever I apply crop marks fx and then try to delete those crop marks later.
    I'm using latest version of Illustrator updated about 3 days ago.

  19. Reflect Across Vertical Axis does not account for Variable Stroke

    I was making a vector in Adobe Illustrator using Variable Stroke. I wanted to make a mirrored copy of my original left-facing drawing to have a right-facing character. But when I mirrored it, the Variable Stroke did not match the original.
    Attached is what I was working on, also labeling the three areas where the issue is most obvious. Note how the stroke thickness is not identical.

  20. Appearance glitch,

    Using appearance, modified text (fill with outline in this case) get buggy when modified on top of a locked image.

    I have been able to re-create this issue on my end at least.
