  2. artboards 1600% - 1700% zoom display error

    Dear Adobe, this an annoying feature or bug, which is always pursue me.

    When I select an artboard with double click, which contains an icon (64x64px), always give me a visual error.

    First time automatic switch to 1700% zoom, and mess up the pixels, looks like slips over the grid, arround 0.5 px.

    If I click on it one more, or zoom in and out, the pixels are jump to the right place.

    This is all time made me crazy because all of my icon need to be pixelperfect, always when I try to rename an icon, go to this…

  3. Artboard copying with hotkey [ bug ]

    macOS Catalina 10.15.7
    Illustrator 25.0.1

    • Select current artboard, option drag to copy
    • Artboard moves instead of creating a copy
    • When trying to undo, artboard returns to previous location while artwork remains in new location
    • Required to press undo 5-10 times as artwork slowly inches its way back to the original artboard

  10. Offset path in Large canvas

    When using a large canvas and doing an Offset path, if I offset a path by say 5mm, the next time I use the tool only 0.5mm shows in the dialog box. Not a big issue, but an error nonetheless.

  12. Grosses lenteurs après la mise à jour Creative Cloud

    Bonjour,

    Depuis trois jours j'ai de grandes lenteurs d'affichage et d'exécution.

    Par exemple lorsque je veux rendre un objet invisible dans ma palette de calques, il ne le fait que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    Idem pour les déplacement d'objets, je ne vois la position finale que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    La mise à jour des images entre Illustrator et Indesign ne se fait pas non plus.
    Je dois réinsérer l'image sur Indesign afin de voir la mise à jour de l''image.

    J'ignore si c'est un problème de mise à jour Creative Cloud ou bien…

  13. Opening second file will NOT display it, but show first opened document!

    Wow... while having opened one file, Illustrator 25.0.1 does not refresh the screen while opening a second document. Great Adobe!

    Navigator switches the content, but the screen activates the second tab and shows the first file. clever...

    Going to be fixed in early 2031?

  17. New document size - selection problem

    When creating a new document, you cannot click into width or height box and select as one and overwrite - previously you could do this.

    You have to use backspace - incredibly irritating. Please fix.
