Animated zoom malfunction
Hi guys,
I am using a Windows 10 rig, fully patched inkl. all drivers and the latest Adobe product versions. Here's the spec of my rig:
- Core i7 4700K
- 32 GB RAM
- Geforce GTX 770 2 GB GDDR
- SSD Disk
My issue is a malfunction of animated zoom. Normally I am using STRG + SPACEBAR and my mouse to zoom in and out. In small Ai projects with a small amount of layers it works fine.
But, if I illustrate a car, with hundreds of layers at a special moment the animated zoom doesn't work anymore. If I use STRG…
1 voteAnimated zoom works only in GPU rendering mode and won’t work in specialized modes like Pixel or Overprint Preview — they still rely on CPU calculations.

Wrong rendering of mesh shades in Illustrator 2020
When opening an Illu 2019 File in Illu 2020 I get wrong rendering results. We tried to reproduce the problem on several machines and it happens ewerywhere.
We are a production company with prepress repro team. Since we dont know, when the problem can occur, we are not able to use 2020 all the time.
Please find attached a sample illustrator file and screenshots from Illustrator 2019 and 2020.
I hope, you can find the bug and update the Illustrator 2020.
Stay safe,
Gregor

Views not updating, tabs not updating.
Views will simply stop updating in Illustrator. Outline view shows geometry that does not display in GPU preview mode.
Similarly, when changing from document tab to tab, the window will "freeze" on one document and refuse to show the newly-selected document.
None of this is remotely acceptable. I pay for and use the Adobe Suite as a professional tool, and I can't have daily failures. Trust in your products is swiftly eroding.
Please advise a quick and permanent fix for these issues.

"show images in outline mode" doesn't work (Document Setup)
Image doesn't show when option is on. It used to a while ago...
3 votesThis option only works when you are viewing your documents as outline using CPU mode only, not GPU. While this is a known problem, voting for this issue is important for the team to estimate the importance of this limitation.

"Hairline," faint border around PNG exports
Whenever I export anything as a PNG in Illustrator with a transparent background, the PNG result shows up with a strange faint border around it. I've tried a multitude of "solutions" and nothing has worked, leading me to believe that this is a bug.
I'm working on a macOS Catalina 10.15.4, and on the most recent version of illustrator (24.1). My processor is 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, and graphics—Intel UHD Graphics 617 1536 MB.
(The image I have provided is the exported PNG image of that shape, and I've overlapped it ontop of the pre-export to show the…
7 votesThis is a GPU bug. If you toggle the rendering mode with View > View using CPU — no border will get rendered, the PNG actually does not have it. The problem is known though.

Last Update is making Illustrator behave unexpected showing something like "white noise"
Last Illustrator update brings this weird issue after opening any file on my machine. As you can see it does not happen only on the work area, but also on UI components. While scrolling down and up again solves temporarily the issue on the work area, the UI cannot be solved neither minimizing or maximizing the program. After some seconds, the work area shows that error again, pixel by pixel.

Rendered canvas is completely broken

If anyone can tell me why all my illustrator files become corrupted when i open them as in the attached i would be very happy. The problem is also found when trying to draw a simple ellipse or rectangle (it gets filled with jagged junk)! Is this a version problem?? Grrrrrr1 vote -
Ruler at 45° angle is not a straight line when zoom in, artefacts while moving cursor over it
If you place a ruler (line), rotate it 45° and zoom in, the line is not a straight line. You can see a stair effect.
Moving over it with the cursor, makes artefacts on repaint.
A 45° line from top-left to bottom-right should be always drawn as 1px right and 1px down.
I think the math-lib in the background of illustrator is written with a very very poor quality, so that this in trues is a rounding problem from float to integer.

Shapes are not drawn at the same positions as guides at some zoom levels
When placing a shape, a rectangle for example, and snap one side to a guide, shape side position relative to the guide differs at different zoom levels.
Sometimes it is exactly on the same position, like always expected. Sometimes its overflowing the guide, sometimes its to far away.
Very annoying. It feels like working Corel Draw in the 90th. :-(

Opacity issues with white
Opacities are not working correctly. When I have a shape with with a normal opacity set to a level below 100 and above another shape that is white. The white appears as a color underneath and it should not. it should be invisible. Also multiply effect is producing incorrect color values. Please see attached image.

Artwork disappearing / Framework in Outline Mode Glitching
Illustrator artboard disappearing and turning to outline mode if I zoom in/out OR try and move an object. Everything seems to be repeating itself in these weird wire frames. I have to save, exit out, then reenter that file. This is happening often and multiple times a day.

NOT RESPONDING
The program works fine whenever im doing line work for my portraits but as soon as I highlight it and merge it together the program starts acting really slow and not responding which makes it impossible to work

All looks jagged
Jagged when using the Pen tool, on texts and on curved paths.
Tried toggling the GPU and CPU preview , reinstalling the updated app, updating the drivers, updating Windows 10. The issue is still not resolved.
Clearly see the the lines are not smooth in outline mode too.

Rendered objects not matching the outline
I have found multiple rendering issues with Illustrator 2020 on Mojave 10.14.6
There are three types:1.) When cutting an object with the path finder, it might occasionally produce straight lines instead of curves, although I can't replicate this and it happens rarely.
2.) The displayed object doesn't follow the outline accurately in general. This is blatantly obvious when zooming in to the max and drawing a small object.
3.) Lines aren't smooth, they have extremely tiny irregularities. These disappear when zooming (even when already at max) but only for the current screen. Moving the camera reveals new ones and…

UI Panels not rendering with Catalina update
The panels in the user interface for both Illustrator and Photoshop have started not rendering properly (aka disappearing) both for the document panel and for workspace panels the ever since upgrading to Catalina on Mac. This most commonly happens when pressing "F" to switch between document views. Other times when switching from another application to the Illustrator or Photoshop window, the entire document disappears despite the Window dropdown menu saying it is open.
I have contacted Adobe Customer Support and they have continually told me to delete my preference files (Illustrator) or turn on/off Legacy compositing (Photoshop). Despite doing these,…
