  1. Second line of type (point and area) is picking up the style of the first line when pasting plain text

    New to 25.3.1 update, MacOS 11.4. When there are two lines in a point or area type object separated by a return, selecting the entire second line (formatted differently from the first line) and pasting in plain text (copied from a Finder filename) is now picking up the formatting from the first line instead of retaining the formatting from the existing line, as if there were an invisible return character from the first line, or as if it were a continuation of the first line. This is contrary to AI behavior since forever.

  2. 日本語入力時に英数キーで確定されます

    macOS Hi Sierra/Catalina/Big Sur
    Adobe Illustrator CC2017〜2021(それ以前の可能性も有)

    Macには独自の日本語テキスト入力のシステムがあります。
    入力した文字を確定する前に「英数キー」を2度連打すると
    半角アルファベットに変換されます。
    「かなキー」を2度連打すると再変換することができます。

    CS5までのIllustratorとすべてのPhotoshopではこのシステムが有効です。
    しかし、IllustratorCCでは「英数キー」「かなキー」での
    変換ができません。
    日本語を入力中に「英数キー」を押すと変換されず確定されます。

    私はMacOS X10.3から長くこのシステムに慣れているので
    現在のIllustratorの仕様は誤入力につながり不便です。

  3. Auto Spell Check not working when ai file is converted to newer version

    I noticed when an older .ai file version (ex. CS4) is converted to a newer version (illustrator 2020) the auto spell check will not work on text and text boxes. The only way I found to fix this is draw a new text box and copy the text from the old box to the new one.

  5. area text corrupted on transfer from Mac to Windows

    When an ai document containing area text is saved in CC2020 or 2021 on Mac, and that document is then opened in CC2020 or 2021 on Windows, the area text gets broken (ie it's no longer a single run of text). We are having to save as legacy and stick to 2019 on Windows to get around it.
    The same problem may apply from Windows to Mac, but I haven't checked it.

  7. CFF font outline rendering issue

    I have received a font quality complaint which seems to be related to Adobe Illustrator 2021. It does not occur in versions 2019 and 2020. In the app viewport, some outlines have kinks which are not part of vector outlines (image 1). When converted to outlines, the paths are clean, however the bump is still being rendered (image 2). In a png output file the bump is not present either (image 3). It seems to be a viewport rasterizer failure rather than font flaw. Please let me know if any additional information is required. I might not be able to…

  9. Type on path shifting placement

    I've updated to Illustrator 2021 (version 25.2.2), now when I open files from the 2020 version of Ai, type that was sitting on a curved path is now shifting all over the place. For example in the image attached the type should be full displayed and centres. This is happening on many files and is a major issue! This needs fixing!

  10. Set the leading with arrows occasionally strip fractional widths

    When using the arrows to adjust the leading on type with fractional leading (e.g. 29.95) the period is stripped out and a new leading is the same numeral amount just without the period (e.g. 2995)

  13. Bug in Illustrator v 25.2.1 - Under Type > Font. Font menu option inactive

    Upon clicking the Type>Font menu option, nothing happens. Used to bring up list of fonts. Apparently, the person responsible for menu functionality wasn't thorough enough to include it the latest update.

  14. オブジェクト(主にテキスト)が選択できない

    打ち込みをしたテキストが選択できないことが多々発生しております。
    その部分は印刷もできないので文字が抜けたまま出力し現場に回ってしまうという業務に支障が出ています。
    保存をして落とし再び立ち上げると問題は解決するのですが毎回その動作をするわけにもいかず、必ず不具合が起こっているわけでもないので困っています。これはPCの問題でしょうか?ご回答お願いします。(著作権等の問題で一部しか画像がのせれません)

  15. variable font

    There's some sort of bug in AI 25.2.1 where the variable font icon disappears after working for some time. A properly installed OT variable font doesn't have the icon to adjust its width axis.

  16. Crashes whenever I use the Type tool

    Illustrator 2021 is crashing whenever I draw a text box, or attempt to select a the text box. I get the greyed out 'not responding' and either have to force close the programme or it crashes.

    Occasionally after 5 mins or so the grey screen and 'not responding' will disappear and I am able to draw a text box, however I am unable to type in it. VERY ANNOYING! My Illustrator version is up to date, using a PC, I have tried closing all other applications and restarting my machine.

  17. can't use the hand tool while using type tool anymore

    If you're using the type tool, you used to be able to hit the command key, then press the space bar to bring up the hand tool to move the canvas around without affecting the type. It's worked this way for years and years. Now, however, when you bring up the hand tool while type is selected, the space bar adds spaces while the hand tool is also operating. Please fix this!

    This is another one of dozens of examples of things that worked flawlessly in Illustrator for years, but is now fundamentally broken. These types of problems are plaguing…

  20. Strings that are too long per line are not rendered

    Strings that are too long in one line are not rendered

    OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    Ai Version: 25.2.1

    This problem is probably caused by documents that are larger than about 2000px on a side.
    If the text has no line breaks and exceeds a certain font size, the text will not be displayed at all.
    Image output is also not possible.
    It is also common for this problem to occur at the same time as Adobe Fonts license errors and save errors.
    In most cases, the number of characters that stop the string from rendering is more than 1000,…
