First colour value should be highlighted by default
When SHIFT-clicking the colour swatch to bring up the Alternate Colour UI, the first selectable value should be automatically highlighted so that I can type a value in without having to first focus on the entry field with either a mouse click of by hit the TAB key.
A near identical request as this one I recall from a while back:
The UI should operate this way by default for any pop-up type dialog/panel.

Incorrect handling of mouse clicks on the Home Screen
On the Home Screen (Preferences > General > Show the Home Screen When No Documents Are Open) the tiles representing the recent documents handle mouse clicks incorrectly.
Currently, to register a MOUSE CLICK event and open the clicked document, the position of the mouse cursor during the MOUSE DOWN event and the subsequent MOUSE UP event must be exactly the same.
Normally, to register a click it's enough that both DOWN and UP events occur within the same active area. It means that the mouse cursor can move while the mouse button is down (between the DOWN and UP events),…

Menu items missing
I guess this is a bug, but a lot of items are missing from the menus on my Illustrator. The ones I notice most are Window and Object, I'm not sure if stuff is missing from the other menus as well. I have everything up to date, and I'm on Windows 11, version 23H2.

Grey Work Area (unresponsive)
I'm on a 2020 Dell XPS 15
Tried Versions 27, 27.4, 28 and most recent of Illustrator.
Only started having this issue within the past month.
All other Adobe products are working perfectly fine.When attempting to open any existing document, the work area briefly flashes with the document before turning into a blank grey screen. I can't click on anything in the work area, but the tools can all be selected. The mouse icon doesn't change from the windows white mouse icon to the larger black Adobe mouse icon, so it seems like the work area isn't functioning at…

Can't Switch Between Documents / Windows
Having multiple documents open - sometimes I can switch between them with a quick Alt-Tab, but mostly I get the error sound (Windows).
Using Alt-Tab or using the mouse has the same results.
On occasion I can switch documents, but that's usually one out of ten attempts.
This only happens with Illustrator documents/windows - so if I tab over to another program there isn't an issue.

Dragging Pallets from monitors with different magnifications causes problems
I have two monitors on my desktop. Both are 4K but one is set to magnification 100% and the other set to 175% for easy reading. When I run Illustrator on the 100% monitor and the pallets slip over to the 175% monitor, the pallets enlarge to 175%. Dragging them back to the 100% monitor leaves them at 175% magnification (which is much bigger than everything else).
The magnified pallet still takes up the size of the regular un-magnified pallet, but the contents are too big to work and there are no scrollbars. So the Pallet boundaries are resized, but…

Plugin menu items in Select menu appear above saved selections without a divider
Plugins can add their own menu commands in different menus.
Specifically in Select menu, they get treated weirdly.Normally, without any plugins installed, the bottom of Select menu looks fine, like this:
Save Selection...
Edit Selection...
Update Selection ← this is a new command added recently
<end of menu>When at least one saved selection is added, Ai adds a horizontal separator and list saved selection under it:
Save Selection...
Edit Selection...
Update Selection
————————————————
My Amazing Selection
<end of menu>Again, descent.
But with plugins onboard it looks like the attached image.
All plugin items are placed under the…4 votes -
Tool window won't update content when clicking on a different tab
This bugs seems to come on after a while of everything working normally.
I have multiple windows (e.g. 3 - Character/Paragraph/Open type) grouped together on one panel. When I click on an unfocussed tab to bring that to the front, nothing changes. The content below remains the same.
For example if 'Character' was in focus, and I wanted to access 'Paragraph' options. If I click on the 'Paragraph' tab, I still see the 'Character' options.
See video.
This is also happening with the document tabs too. I click between my open documents and nothing changes on the artboard below.
I…

Shift does not select multiple items any longer - Ai 28.0 / Mac OS 14.0/Mac Studio 2022
Adobe AI upgraded on my system today to Illustrator 28 - 2024. Shift no longer works to select multiple objects or points. I use illustrator about 4-8 hours a day so I am very aware of the intended capability of the shift key while working. I have rebooted to hope for a resolve .... I can't seem to regain the functionality. My previous version of Ai did not perform this way. Bummed to consider having to downgrade back to previous version of Ai. Hope this helps bring attention.

Generative Pop-ups causing file open click issues in MacOS Ventura
The popups that push the generative AI features (which should be permantally dismissable, but that's another issue) cause a bug in the file open... menu. If the popup remains open, and you click File > Open... the file dialog opens, but you cannot click on any files. Closing Illustrator and re-opening will fix the issue.
38 votesThe assumed fix for this problem is pushed into the Prerelease 28.2.521 version, which is available for members of the Prerelease program only.
After the Prerelease community verifies the fix, it’s going to be pushed into the next general access build or Beta build.
The status will change then. Stay tuned!

Shortcut for "New from template" does not always work on the home screen
Open a fresh instance of Illustrator 2024 mac, use the CMD+Shift+N shortcut to open the new from template window, close it and try again. Most often the shortcut does not work. This is also the case if the shortcut is used after closing a file and returning to the home screen.

Cannot re-select zoom level in status bar

Window keeps resizing
The window keeps resizing. I use Spectacle (a simple window resize tool that works with every other program). It's very handy to have shortcuts to move windows around like PCs do, but Mac doesn't support by default.
Now when I do certain actions, the window shrinks back down to less than full size. It's very annoying and never used to happen. Please fix!

UI scaling reverts when using a 4K monitor
I've enabled UI scaling to the second smallest option, and it initially works, but if I open a window from my workspace when the workspace is collapsed into icon view, and then go back to the full workspace view, the UI for the window downscales. Steps to reproduce:
- Set UI scaling to second smallest option
- Restart Illustrator
- Expand Workspace to panels (note UI size)
- Collapse Workspace to icons
- Click on an icon to open window
- Click on the same icon again to collapse the window back to the Workspace
- Expand the Workspace to panels again (note UI size for the…
