  2. Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot

    I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.

    I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.

    I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.

    Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.

  4. Center points vanish at a certain level of magnification

    Above a certain level of magnification, the object's center point vanishes, which is an issue if that's what you are trying to zoom-in on.

    This seems mostly to happen in artwork mode.

  5. Canvas is flickering after waking the computer up

    Flickering around the artboard when the type tool is selected. The system had been in sleep mode for about an hour. When I returned, dragging my mouse over the window, the area surrounding the artboard flickered. Every mouse movement made the background flicker. It did not happen if the window was not the foremost window active.

  6. White random lines get displayed while working with placed images

    Good day. I've stumbled upon a visual bugs in Adobe for quite a time now. I've really thought that the sole reason was my old MacBook and although It got me angry at some point I knew I did not had the best hardware so I was in no situation of asking a bug fix. Now, I'm using the ARM MacBook with M chip, so you can say I'm having somewhat the latest hardware. Still the visual bug appears super often and I'm becoming frustrated about it.

    Basically I Illustrator shows me cut lines and borders, which are not really…

  9. some SBSAR files apply weirdly in illustrator

    when I applied 3d texture to object with some SBSAR file downloaded from substance assets, the texture of object looks matted color.

    both RGB and CMYK the files didn't work well

    but the texture works well in substance painter.
    It seems bug to fix in Illustrator.

  10. Artboard not sizing correctly

    This issue continues happening. I am attaching 2 screenshots showing the issue. Image 1 shows the top right corner of the artboard when I "fit to page." Image 2 shows the artboard after I've zoomed out once. The edge of the artboard moves in, but visually, the white part of the artboard doesn't move.

  11. Screen flashing while tool tips is on and hoovering over docked toolbar

    While using the advanced toolbar and the 'show tool tips' feature, the screen flashes/glitches very fast and violently. I turned off the tool tips and the glitch stops. The tool tips feature is helpful but this glitch makes it useless/painful.

  12. Pattern fill pixelation

    Zooming into an object filled with a pattern shows raster pixelation in the pattern. If you select the object and move it slightly or change its view, then the pattern is updated and looks vectored. This is annoying. I just want it to update and look clean when I am using the zoom tool.

  13. 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…

  14. 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.

  15. Artifacts and unable to render Mask

    Good day.

    I'm having troubles rendering an Opacity Mask. I attach the screenshots of the differences. When I change to CPU Preview, the file renders normally but when I change to GPU preview it shows as the image attached. The problem also affects some blending modes like Color Burn which do not render correctly neither in GPU or CPU Preview.

    My system is as follows:

    -Asus B550M-A
    -Ryzen 5 5600x
    -32gb Corsair Vengeance DD4 3600MHz RAM
    -Sapphire AMD RX 6700XT 16GB

    Illustrator Version 28.2 (64 bits)

  16. Blurry Image

    It's probably a bug, when I move around the sheet it often happens that the object becomes blurry like the attached image, I work with a latest generation Mac Pro, but this problem occurs on all the PCs I have, what could it be? Thank you

  19. Outline Mode Breaks display when toggling in and out of it.

    I found that when I go into outline mode and then toggle the layers off of it it breaks my display a little bit. It fixes itself if I just undo the toggling and then Cmd Y to turn it off that way but it'd be nice not having to do that.

  20. 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.
