1. Clipping Mask Shows Some Bugs

   Hi
   I’m using Illustrator CC (27.1.1) and macOS Monterey 12.3
   When I use a clipping mask, sometimes Illustrator shows hidden parts of images that are inside the clipping mask (that should be hidden). When I scroll through the artboards, bugs change shape. (Generally, images inside the clipping mask are effected by the transparency tool, screen, multiply...)
   Looking at the attached files you can see a clipping mask with some shapes inside.

2. [25.3.1 macOS]Photoshopで作成したpsd画像に日本語のクリッピングパスが使用されていると、Illustratorに配置してもクリッピングパスが反映されない

   再現手順

   Photoshop v21.2.9(2020)やv22.2(2021)など日本語のクリッピングパスでの不具合がないバージョンで、日本語のクリッピングパスを適用したpsd画像を作成。
   Illustrator v25.3.1(2021)で、1で作成した画像を配置するとクリッピングパスが適用されずに配置される。Photoshopでクリッピングパスを欧文にすれば、Illustrator v25.3.1でクリッピングパスが適用された状態で配置される。なおIllustrator v24.3および v25.2.3ではこの不具合は再現されませんでした。

   ※photoshopで作成した画像フォーマットが、eps,tiff.pdfの場合はこの不具合は再現されませんでした。

   動作環境

   macOS Big Sur バージョン11.4

   みなさま、大変お待たせいたしました。

   Illustrator 2021（ver.25.3.1）で発生していた、Photoshop（v21.2.9 や v22.2 など）の日本語名のクリッピングパスでの不具合がないバージョンの PSD ファイルでも、日本語名のクリッピングパスが認識されない問題の修正が完了し、Illustrator 2021（ver.25.4.1）をリリースいたしました。

   Creative Cloud デスクトップアプリケーションから、製品版のアップデートが可能となっておりますので、お確かめください。

   もし、Illustrator 2021（ver.25.2.3）と同じ結果が得られないような場合は、コメントをお願いいたします。

   今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

   Illustrator チーム

   【追記 – 2021年8月27日】
   Photoshop 2021 が ver.22.5 にアップデートされ、日本語パス名の文字化け問題が修正されました。
   Illustrator でもクリッピングパスが正しく認識されます。

4. When exporting an intertwined object to PDF the selection trace is preserved in the saved file

   Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)
   Illustrator 27.0.1

   The reproduction scenario is as following:
   1. Create two overlaying rings (I used pathfinder to make the hole in the middle).
   2. Select both objects
   3. Go to Object-Intertwine-Make and select the target area
   4. Save in PDF

   Even if the Flatten transparency was selected (as suggested in https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45826375-intertwine-bug-when-export-as-pdf-x4 ), the tiny selection trace in the intertwined area can be viewed (see the attached file)

   Done (In Prerelease)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   This issue is fixed in the Prerelease version (available in Creative Cloud Desktop Prerelease section).

   Intertwine objects now get treated differently when expanded, and an extra copy get placed underneath the stack of clipped zones to eliminate seams PDF viewers display.

5. Clipping Mask gets rendered wrong

   MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
   Just recently install the macOS Monterey
   Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022

   The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
   It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.

   It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
   But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.

   I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most stable and familiar. Otherwise, we can only work with errors while waiting for them to be fixed.

   I hope it will be taken into the consideration, thanks.

6. Using a sublayer as a layer mask is broken

   Please open the file attached and watch the video.
   Here is what happens, try to replicate it:

   1. The document has a Layer 1 and it has a sublayer — Layer 2, which has one rectangle in it
   2. If you select the Layer 1, the Make/Release Clipping mask button enables — click it
   3. Notice that Ai underlines both Layer 2 AND <Rectangle>, as if they are both are clipping masks
   4. If you click it again, everything is OK. But instead, select the Layer 2 and click the button after
   5. See how Ai still shows Layer 2 underlined (bug #1)
   6. Select a circle and see how the underline vanishes, and only <Rectangle> is now considered to be a mask
   7. You can select circles and everything stays as it was, until you move one — then suddenly the canvas gets updated and all shapes get rendered as unclipped (bug #2). Sometimes it happens partially, and it seems to be unrelated to CPU/GPU view mode
   8. Undo everything and clip again
   9. Hide the rectangle and see how all circles get visibly unclipped — that is OK
   10. Now toggle visibility of the Layer 2 instead — something changes, but circles are still clipped
   11. Hide Layer 2 and drag one of the circles — boom, they are unclipped again (bug #3)

   Sublayers are broken and this is why I avoid using them.
   Please fix.

7. Measurement of a clipping path object bug on PC (Illustrator 26.0.1)

   I have a logo which uses a mesh gradient inside a clipping path. On my Mac the X and Y measurements relate to the object, ignoring the elements that are outside of the clipping path. When I share this with a colleague who is using the same version of Illustrator on a PC the measurements are different and relate to all the elements in the object and not just the clipping path? Any ideas?

8. Ugly edges when using clipping mask or stacking objects with the exact same shape

   Whenever stacked objects have the exact same shape, or when using a clipping mask, the colors from the objects below will be visible around the edge of the upper object. See screenshot.

   This will probably not show when you print, but it does show when you rasterize a vector image. The screenshot is from a rasterized .ai image opened in Photoshop. So it's not just a preview bug in Illustrator.

   And it's quite disturbing to see these ugly edges when work on your illustration.

9. Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly

   Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly. The image isn't displaced but when I double click where it is it shows itself in Isolation mode. Its terribly annoying.It shows as an outline but doesn't show up at all otherwise.

10. smart guides not working in clipping mask

    I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.

    I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

11. Clipping mask from a live text is misaligned / resized / distorted

    When using a solid swatch filled variable font as a clipping mask (Hepta Slab in the attached example) the clipped paths are misaligned with the font (in display and in selection hovering).

12. Artwork in Clipping mask doesn't resize

    Illustrator 2019 on PC Windows 10

    When I resize artwork sometimes anything that's inside a clipping mask doesn't resize. The shape I created for the mask resizes, but the artwork 'inside' stays static.

    If I undo and retry a few times it will eventually work. I'm using the 'black' arrow to select the object and resize with the handles. I'm not using either of the white arrows. So I don't think it's a selection issue on my end.

    I'm currently using a latest CC version Ai and i encounter a problem/bug. When i create a clipping mask on a multiple objects for a final file. For example: An A4 artboard, i just did a last step clipping mask into A4 size and save it. Then i close the file. when i reopen the same file, my multiple objects all becoming a flatten object?? (Can't be select separately). This issue really give me a heart attack.

    It happened on my vector artwork and image combined vector file twice so far. Which i not dare to use clipping mask recently. PLEASE help to look into this bug issue, Thanks!

14. Objects in a clipping mask do not respect "Object Selection By Path Only".

    Reproduction steps:

    1. Draw a filled shape.
    2. Use Draw Inside to draw another filled shape inside it.
    3. In the 'Selection And Anchor Display' pane of the prefs, ensure that 'Object Selection By Path Only' is checked.
    4. Click and drag with the Selection or Direct Selection tools in a part of the first object that does not contain the second object. Note that nothing gets selected unless you drag over the first object's path.
    5. Click and drag with one of those tools in a part of the first object that does contain the second object. Do not cross any of the paths while attempting to drag out this selection area. Note that Illustrator acts as if "Object Selection By Path Only" was off, and either selects the whole clip group (if you're using the Selection tool) or starts dragging the second object (if you're using the Direct Selection tool).

    The desired effect is that step 5 should only select any objects whose paths you cross with the selection box, rather than immediately dragging them. This drives me crazy every time it happens.

    Reproduction steps:

    1. Draw a filled shape.
    2. Use Draw Inside to draw another filled shape inside it.
    3. In the 'Selection And Anchor Display' pane of the prefs, ensure that 'Object Selection By Path Only' is checked.
    4. Click and drag with the Selection or Direct Selection tools in a part of the first object that does not contain the second object. Note that nothing gets selected unless you drag over the first object's path.

16. Direct Selection tool selects objects in and outside of clipping masks

    There is a bug (from maybe several versions back now) in which the direct selection tool sees and selects objects (and points) inside and outside of the clipping mask. The behavior In previous versions worked correctly (the direct selection tool only selected points on the clipping mask, not any of the inside contents). In the attached screenshot, you can see both the current bug and the previous expected behavior.

    To summarize, the Direct Selection Tool should only be able to select a mask's points and not the objects inside the mask.
