  2. User Interface zoomed in

    The interface in my Adobe Illustrator 2019 is 'zoomed-in' and it's not the same size as other Adobe apps. I've attached a screen shot of Illustrator 2018 vs Illustrator 2019.

  3. Variables panel not redrawing

    The variables panel does not seem to get redrawn as often as it should.

    I am using the latest (early 2019) version of AI.

    Create a new document.

    Go to/open Variables panel

    Panel corner menu->Create Variable.

    Dialog opens: Enter name and choose type.

    Close dialog.

    New variable does not appear in list. (Yet)

    Close and reopen Variables panel (or switch panel tab away and back)

    Variable previously created is now visible.

    Similarly, binding variables to objects is not updated in the panel without the close/reopen or tab switch trick forcing the panel to redraw.

  5. Control and Toolbar

    Control and toolbars disappear every time I start Illustrator CC and I am on 23.0.2 version. Please advise. Thank you.

  6. "Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group." Does not work.

    "Left-click the tool to view a list of all the tools in the tool group."

    Very simple, right? We've all been able to do it forever.

    Well, I don't want to be overly unpleasant about this, but, having finally upgraded from Adobe CS5 to Adobe CC, I find that this most basic of actions is unperformable on my computer. It worked in CS5.

    It's the newest version of Mojave, 10.14.3, and the newest version of Illustrator, on account of me having just installed it.

  7. Extra large font in top menus - can't fix

    I can't modify the size of the font in Illustrator's top bar menus. When I click on a top menu item (File/Edit/Object/Type, etc) the font displayed in them is extra large, and I can't change it in Settings. Even when I select "Reset Essentials Classic", nothing happens. How can I fix this? Thanks!

  8. Japanese version: Sidebar properties get clipped

    The values get clipped out and it's difficult to insert values....

    I think this is possibly because of poor localisation for Japanese UI as the Japanese text is larger and thus causes the clipping....

    This has happened on many occasions but as a sample I included an image of the settings of corner roundness of an object.

    I'm not sure if this happens on any other language UI's as I've only been using the Japanese version.

  10. LogTransport2 locks app after failed requests to hbrcv.adobe.com

    I have a corporate web filter that always tries to authenticate port 80 or 443 traffic. Illustrator is reaching out to hbrcv.adobe.com and because there is no traditional web interface to handle this request, if the library can't communicate without issue the entire user interface locks and becomes unusable. Any ideas how to fix this issue? Thanks!

  11. Panels are Grouped, e.g., Properties can't be detached from Layers

    I want to set up a new workspace to have separate windows. Illustrator is forcing them to be attached, and it takes up a lot of screen space, blocking my view of my artwork.

    I am using Windows 10 v1803

    it is unclear from the post what the issue is. You can drag out property panel using click drag on the header.

  12. Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier

    Fréquemment, à l'ouverture d'un fichier j'ai le message "Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier".
    Il faut alors quitter puis relancer Illustrator. L'ouverture du fichier devient alors possible.

  14. Tool Windows Collapsed on Start

    Tool windows collapsed on start — make tool windows not collapsed on start. This has happened to me before, I don't remember what fixed it. This doesn't happen if the start screen for MacBook children is used.

  16. Continuous drag over locks or visibility in layer palette regularly fails when using Wacom

    I have experienced this problem on both macOS and Windows when using a Wacom tablet.
    1. Toggle visibility of multiple layers by click-dragging over the eye icons.
    2. Toggle the visibility of another layer by clicking on the eye icon.
    3. Occasionally the last click will be interpreted as being part of the drag gesture and the visibilty of multiple layers will be affected.
    4. Undo doesn't see step 1 and 2 as separate. So undoing gets you back to before step 1.

    You may have to test this for a while as it doesn't happen very often. A few…

  17. resize does not respect the homothety

    1) It is impossible to draw a specific object
    If we write 100 x 100 pt in L and H. This draws: 101,172 x 100,657 pt
    It's not accurate and not square !!

    2) Having the box "keep proportions V and H" checked.
    You can not write 200 pt in H and keep the proportion respected.
    Example I type V = 200 pt. He writes me V = 202,172 pt and H = 203,292 pt

    Still not accurate and not square

    It's a disaster, because gradually, while working and constantly changing the sizes of these objects, everything becomes oval and…

  18. Illustrator ignores ‘Use Preview Bounds’ setting unless multiple objects are selected

    Not much more to say. Single object selected? Bounding box ignores the object's stroke. Multiple objects selected? Bounding box encompasses the stroke.

    MacOS Mojave 10.14.2
    Illustrator 23.0.1

    Attached is a video demonstrating the issue.

  19. Workspace window falls off the page

    The newest update does not fix the issue I am having with the workspace window falling off the page when I try to drag the bottom right corner to better fit my art/desktop as needed. Does not respond to the position of my mouse, I have to over exaggerate where I want it while I click and drag my mouse.

    Kimberly, the image you attached to the report is not related to it, and shows a screenshot of the UV page instead.

    So if you are still having this problem, please provide a proper screenshot or maybe a video even, if necessary. Either way, please comment back on this.

  20. Missing workspace when using external monitors

    When I use my external Monitors (Dell, only 3 month old) in combination with my newest generation MacBook Pro Illustrator crashes all the time when the monitors are set into standby-mode. Strange to say this issue only appears when the monitors are in standby-mode for more than 10 Seconds!

    After 10 seconds waking them up illustrator only shows one of my tool-options. No toolbar, oder canvas. At the moment it's really hard for me to work with this issue because i need to restart illustrator all the time to get rid of it.

    in my overview illustrator shows up, but…
