  1. Highlighting text leads to disappearing artboards

    This tends to only happen when I have minimized the screen to be half of my desktop size. Whenever I highlight text in Illustrator the artboard disappears and it only comes back when I've selected the selection tool and click in the work space.

  3. Illustrator Crashes When Trying To View Using CPU or Pixel Preview (All Versions)

    Been happening for quite some time now. When trying to view a pixel preview of my document it will hang then crash. Same exact thing happens if I try to "view using CPU". Also have been getting a weird "hairline" pink line around non-stroked objects.

    Attached pictures of the pink outline around the gray in the one picture and another around the white and the gray. It seems to change as I zoom in and out which makes me think it's a rendering/driver bug. I think this issue and the original crashing when trying to select CPU or Pixel Preview…

  4. Typo causes harsh generative AI warning

    My prompt for generative AI was "abscract [sic] background with 4 quotations". Illustrator threw a red warning: "One or more of your terms violate guidelines". I couldn't capture the screen because the warning disappeared quickly. When I corrected the spelling to "abstract" it generated results without a warning. Seems the warning should be a little different for this.

  6. All files appear pixelated when opened

    AI was working fine yesterday. Now no matter what file I open, all of the graphics in the file are pixelated. Need help in fixing this.

  9. Illustrator suddenly switching to CPU preview, GPU preview greyed out

    My little research has shown that the preview mode changes when zooming if the cmyk document contains cmyk images. In a cmyk document with rgb images or an rgb document with rgb/cmyk images, there is no gpu to cpu preview switching when zooming. To reproduce the bug, the document must include multiple images in order to impact performance during scaling. My system: i5 8400, 32 Gb, GTX1650 with latest Studio Driver installed, Asus PA329C, windows 11 Build 22621.1265, Illustrator 27.3.1 Here's what it looks like on my system.

  10. Illustrator not using GPU preview on MacBook Pro M1 Max

    I bought a new MacBook Pro M1 Max 16" 2021 I have the latest version of Illustrator installed. But when I work with a project where I have a bitmap image illustrator automatically switches to CPU preview and everything crashes.

    When I want to click up in the menu View > View using GPU - I can't it's greyed out. Cmd + E shortcut doesn't work either

    I can't work with the program like that. Please do something about it. For it is completely crazy. And you don't solve it and yet it limits the work quite a lot. Several…

  18. Certain shapes make illustrator change from GPU to CPU. Can't change back until a fresh reinstall.

    I created this glass effect on my laptop and exported it to drive to download onto my PC. It opens normally with GPU preview but it switches to CPU if I zoom into my work. After some experimenting I found out it's only because of my shapes that create the glass effect. It affects both my laptop and PC. Laptop uses 1660 Max Q, not intergrated graphics.

    It also affects other files (not consistent), that I open at the same time. Other files that are affected can't be changed back to GPU preview despite reopening the files individually. PC restart…

  19. GPU preview greyed out

    Mac Mini M2 Pro 32GB/1TB
    Ventura 13.4 (22F66)

    Illustrator 27.5

    Just opening a file and the View using GPU is greyed out, which results in slow performance.
    The file has 6 linked images (2 jpg + 4 png) which are totally below 40 ΜΒ.

    Here are the files.

    Thanks in advance

  20. Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation.

    I applied a pattern to a stroke by accident and received this error. I'm using v25.0.1 on a PC with 16 gb RAM and a dedicated graphics card.
