  1. Guides are too thin since last update

    Since the last update (23.0.4) guides are almost invisible, especially when using the document grid in combination.

    This is only the case when GPU performance is on. When it's switched off, the guides appear as usual. In the previous Illustrator version this problem didn't exist...

    The strange thing is: while dragging other guides, or making a rectangle selection with the Selection Tool, the guides become thicker again. But, when I release the mouse again, they become thin again.

    I work on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) model, NVIDEA GeForce GT 750M 2GB Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. MacOS…

  2. GPU Stroke Rendering Issue

    OS: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Build 17G5019
    2 x Xeon E5-2690 v4 CPUs (don't ask ;) )
    64 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8191 MB
    GPU Driver Version: 387.10.10.10.40.122
    CUDA Driver Version: 418.105

    Hi, I noticed a small rendering issue with strokes in GPU mode. The boundaries seem to be somewhat inaccurate, to the point that in certain situations (regardless of whether or not they're joined and by any method), suck as a tee shape, a small bulge of one stroke can appear beyond the edge of another, even though they shouldn't.

    See attached pictures, the problem area is…

  3. Layers Panel Glitch

    After upgrading to Mojave OS on a mac the layers panel glitches or flashes each time I click / draw on an art board or area outside an art board.

    It also happens when I manipulate the layers panel in any way, toggling visibility, opening or closing layer groups or any other operation.

    This flashing is irritating and takes my eye from the work.

    Attempted fixes

    Resetting preferences
    Adjusting GPU performance
    Turning of animated zoom
    Uninstalling illustrator
    Updating everything

    Illustrator Version 22.1
    MacOs Mojave 10.14

  4. Vectors rendered too thick on screen

    Since the update to 22.1, all vector lines are being rendered too thickly on screen. Compare any lines drawn in AI with how they appear when printed out - they are inaccurately rendered on screen. Illustrator is a vector application, it cannot be displaying vectors with such poor quality on screen.

  6. GPU preview = poor quality in 22.1

    Image quality is poor with GPU performance activated in 22.1: lines appear too thick, anchor points are left on screen when they should have cleared, random artifacts appear on screen for no apparent reason. Solution is either deactivated GPU performance (not acceptable) or toggling to CPU preview on every document every single time the document is opened (also not acceptable). Please work on a fix for this before releasing 22.1 to the public.

  9. Scrubby Zoom - GPU View greyed out

    I'm unable to toggle GPU Preview.

    This is a new concern since I was able to toggle it on/off a few weeks ago.

  10. Blend in CMYK color mode and GPU preview = MOIRE

    In CMYK mode the blend option looks really terrible with GPU preview. With these settings the Blend hets a jaggy moire effect.

    Tested in different color modes with CPU and GPU preview. Only CMYK on GPU produces this nasty screen effect, see screenshots. I work mostyl in CMYK mode so I hope this can be fixed rapidly.

    macOS 14.1.1 / Adobe Illustator 2024 v28.0

    I'm sure this bug affects Illustrator v27.x too.

  12. Blend snaps back when you move an object

    When you move one of the objects after having created a blend, the new position doesn't stay. Instead the blend snaps back and the outline of the object stays in the new position. Described in this thread with videos:

  13. Pink screen and residual image artifacts

    The pink screen flash is back for me in 26.03 when opening files, but now I have the added bonus of image shrapnel being left everywhere (image attached).

  14. pixel preview doesn't refresh correctly until reapplied.

    Steps to reproduce:
    - New document with units set to pixels
    - view: 'snap to pixel' and 'pixel preview' turned on.
    - Use the rectangle tool to make a new shape, eg. 20 pixels square.
    - Set the fill colour to a high contrast colour (eg. dark grey) and turn off the stroke
    - zoom the view, move around.

    Expected result:
    - the rectangle should appear pixel-perfect (sharp) against the pixel grid, with no anti-aliased bluring
    - the view should acurately update when I zoom and move around to display pixel perfect artwork

    Actual result:
    - the rectangle is bordered…

  18. Artwork disappears when zoomed in

    Whenever I am zooming in (2400% +), my artwork disappears and the who canvas turns gray. If I mouse over my artwork, i'll see a very pixelated outline of my artwork. I've attached a screenshot of my issue. I've tried restarting my MBP, uninstalling and reinstalling AI. I've tried closing out AI and reopening– but nothing I am doing is fixing this issue. Please help, I need to continue working on client projects.

  19. Illustrator Background Flickering

    Hey all.... I'm getting a very annoying flickering background in illustrator CC 25.2.3 as I roll the cursor around.

    It stops when I turn off GPU performance but I'd ideally like to have the best performing Ai as possible...other wise what's the point ey?

    MBP spec:

    10.15.7

    MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
    2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
    64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

    AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB
    Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Very Annoying as this MBP is brand new

    Anyone had the same thing?

  20. GPU preview replaced by CPU permanently

    Mojave 10.14.6 / Ill version 25.2.1 / GPU Performance Activated / AMD Radeon Pro 570X
    The ai file opens in CPU preview and cannot return to GPU. Colours seem altered, very vivid. That happens to all files with linked images! I worked as ususal, can't remember if any update run.
    I have downgraded Illustrator to 25.2, & Photoshop to 22.2 and problem was not fixed.
