  2. Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!

    When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
    I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU

    1. Create a new file.
    2. Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
    3. Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
    4. Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
    5. Try to export the file (Export…

  3. Regression in version 27.0 - SVG tspan not handled correctly

    Hello

    When I place the following SVG

    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 500 500" width="500" height="500"><text><tspan>60</tspan></text></svg>

    And then try to export the object back to SVG, I get

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="36.86" height="39.2" viewBox="0 0 36.86 39.2"/>

    The tspan content is gone.

    Without the tspan it works ok. It also works fine in AI 26.5

    The example is an extract from a larger SVG object created through the Datylon plugin

    Seems like an AI regression bug. Any chance it will be fixed in later versions?

    Tx!

  16. Opacity mask editing mode is broken, changes made are not visible unless Clip / Invert option is selected

    I am experiencing a very new issue with Illustrator: when I draw something upon an opacity mask, the effect is not shown in real time.

    Never happened something similar before.

    I'm trying different settings with CPU preview, and also the relevant flag in the preferences (Draw and modify in real time, under "Performance" tab, hte last line) but does not seem to affect.

    This has been happening since the latest update.

  17. Incorrect size for a group with an ellipse

    I have a number of 5mm ellipse selected - these should have a complete height of 65mm when selected. But illustrator has ignored the white space between, giving a height 10mm less than it should be!

  18. Illustrator 24.1 metric precision broken

    So there was a new release Illustrator 24.1 the other day which I installed. Unfortunately, it looks like the engineers messed up and semi-broke the conversion routines from inches or whatever measurement is used internally to the metric units displayed to me as the user.

    What used to be displayed as nice whole numbers or up to a maximum of three decimals, is now never an even number and always displayed with four decimals. Just to take an example, a dimension clearly intended to be precisely 10 mm is now displayed as say 9.9998 mm or 10.0003 mm.

    This is…
