  1. Manually scaled text can’t be selected

    If I click to select my text and double-click to scale manually, I am no longer able to select it again. If I want to select the text again I have to click and drag the select tool over other objects to select the text. Sometimes that works sometimes not. Doesn't work at all with a single object that's broken.

    On Windows Desktop 64 Bit, Illustrator Version 27.5, last updated 5/6/23

  2. Illustrator goes not responding every time Font is scrolled through

    I had my Illustrator 'not responding' every time i scroll the font character. I tried to install the old version but still no avail.

    This issue has happened since a month ago and I had reported many times through feedback from the app itself.

  3. Glitch signs introduced by illustrator when opening a plot created by R

    Hi everyone,

    I mainly use Illustrators to manually edit plots/figures created by R (a statistical programming tool). R creates PDFs which can (normally) be opened and edited using Illustrator.

    However, I recently encountered a strange bug. My plots look just fine when I open the PDFs using Acrobat Reader, but they contain glitch signs instead of points when I open them using Illustrator 2023.

    I am attaching a (zoomed in) picture showing these symbols. If anyone can help, that would be very appreciated :).

  7. Linked Text Boxes DEFORM

    When spreading text over more than one text box, the first one is fine, but any consecutive one deforms so the copy is stretched.

  8. Illustrator 2023 - 27.5 Arabic Right to left alignment issue

    Hi, I am using illustrate 2023 [27.5] / MacOS Ventura 13.3.1 - Mac mini M2 Pro. Here we are facing an issue in Arabic text alignment. As per your help, when we paste Arabic, it detects automatically the language and when we select the language alignment and orientation would change according to the language. But here, even if we select the above steps the orientation remains exactly like English. Older versions we had a manual text orientation [Right/ Left] tool on the bottom side of Paragraph settings box, now only "Hyphenate" is available. Attached screenshot of the same. In the…

  9. illustratorだけ正常にフォントが表示されない

    TTEditで自作したフォントを10個インストールしましたが、Turetypeの日本語フォントのみillustratorでだけ表示されません。フォント名は連番で作成していますが(例:WA-01、WA-02など)環境にないフォントとしてフォントファミリーとして認識してしまします。
    手動でフォントを変更することは可能ですが、他のPCでは同じフォントと認識しません。
    Excelでは表示されます。

    PC:Windows10 21H2
    illustrator:26.0、27.0どちらでもダメでした
    実行:フォントリストの再作成、フォント名の英語表記ON/OFF、環境設定ファイルの再作成、Adobeのログアウト、PCの初期化、日本語IMEの旧バージョンON/OFF、Adobeの必須ファイルへ直接フォントファイルを入れてのインストール、Windows/Fontsへコピーしてのインストール

    いろいろ試しましたが変わりませんでした。
    PCも変更してみましたがダメでした。

    まず、フォントリストが削除出来ませんでした。
    (写真参照)

    解決策があれば教えていただきたいです。
    よろしくお願いいたします。

  10. Lost partial fraction capabilities for OpenType

    It seems that Illustrator has lost partial fraction OpenType capabilities recently. I was able to create various types of fractions using the 'Fractions' option in the OpenType menu. As of recently, this capability has since been limited to basic fractions (1/4, 1/2, 3/4).
    Just to note that I did not change the font. I've been using the same font in both cases (Myriad Pro).
    Currently on Illustrator 2023 (Ver. 27.5).

  11. Automatic hyphen turns in to different glyph character

    I have a strange phenomenon on my Mac (Ventura 13.0.1): in the example there are three identical texts in 3 different font types (purchased, Adobe and Google). All fonts are available in the font manager program (RightFont) and auto-activation is enabled (the fonts are NOT activated initially).

    I open the Illustrator (27.0.1) file and RightFont reports that missing fonts are available for activation (Illustrator also reports this, but I ignore this message, as RightFont already 'takes care' of it.

    As soon as the fonts are loaded, the purchased and Google fonts have a 'strange' symbol (usually a different kind of…

  12. Spellcheck underlines things that are OK

    The dictionary Illustrator uses is quite poor it seems, especially for non-English languages.

    But what’s more important, Ai always wants me to make each first word capitalized in a line after a soft-break. Hey, do you know soft break is not a paragraph return, right? It means just a new line, not the end of a sentence.

    Just stop. It makes the Spellcheck completely useless.

  14. Can't adjust leading with Alt+arrow keys.

    When trying to adjust text leading with ALT + Up/Down arrow keys as usual, it doesn't seem to work. It's inconvenient to adjust leading from the character menu.

    This got solved by checking the 'Size/Leading' value in Preferences > Type. For some reason it got changed. This is not the first time something like this happens, and the reason behind this value getting altered is unknown... so it can’t be marked as 'Resolved'. If you have this problem too — please vote and comment.

  15. Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text

    Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.

    Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

  16. Action to find replace T1 fonts

    Since Illustrator no longer supports T1 fonts I would love to be able to make an action to find/replace font associated with common fonts that I used previously to current fonts that I now have active. The action however only opens the find/replace dialog and doesn't complete the request automatically. It makes you reselect the replacement font. (even though in the script dialog it shows the step of find (x) font, replace (x) font, change all yes).

    Illustrator converts a hyphen at the start of the line to a bulleted list, unless the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing' option (enabled by default) is not turned off.

    These converted markers can’t be selected, unless you convert the text back with the dedicated button in the Paragraph menu.


    But be warned though, that sometimes disabling the auto-conversion does not work, and hyphen and other characters still force Illustrator to create a list.

  18. Textrahmen verkettet sich beim Bewegen

    Betriebsystem: macOS Monterey 12.6.3
    Illustrator Version: 27.2

    Mir ist leider noch unklar welche Schritte genau zu dem Problem führen.
    Ich arbeite aktuell in großen Arbeitsflächen.

    Manchmal wenn ich Texte verschieben möchte, lassen diese sich nicht verschieben, sondern verketten sich einfach mit dem obersten rechten Punkt der Arbeitsfläche. Sie lassen sich dann gar nicht mehr verschieben.

    Cmd-Z löst das problem nur kurzweilig - manchmal auch gar nicht. Dann bleibt die Verkettung bestehen, während sich andere vor der Verkettung stattgefundene Schritte Rückgängig machen.
    Wenn ich Illustrator beende und neu starte, ist der Fehler für einige Zeit wieder behoben.

    Eventuelle bestehende Verkettungen kann…

  19. Please repair selection of path text objects in a group

    When text on a path is part of a group, it is no longer possible to select and delete it.
    In previous versions Alt-Shift-Direct Selection allowed to select the path text and delete it, but in the latest version, this tries to delete the path from the text object, which results in 'Can't clear the Objects'.

  20. AI打開缺字體文件卡死界面問題,只能任務管理器強制關閉。

    有bug的AI版本,ai2022 ai2023都有问题。ai2021没这个问题。
    问题描述:
    1. 缺字体的pdf文件,只要右键打开方式用ai2022 2023打开,进到界面弹出缺字体提示,大概率整个AI卡死。
    2. 先打开ai2022 2023界面,缺字体的pdf文件选择右键打开方式选择ai2022 2023,弹出缺字体提示,超高概率整个AI卡死。
