OK, back to work with this.

Free Form gradient Line points gets deleted on changing opacity to 0 via Point Mode
Making a freeform gradient point to 0% opacity works until the object is moved. The point will be removed on moving the object. This does not affect opacity greated than 0%.

Blend tool with Freeform Gradients does not working properly
Blend tool not working with shapes that contain gradients. (preview box is greyed out as well)
It won't work from the start with shapes that already contain gradients and only produces black shapes and an error message when the color is applied after making the blend.17 votes -
Free Distort effect doesn’t work properly with Freeform gradients
When Free Distort effect is applied to a path with a freeform gradient fill (we all now know it’s not a real fill), the stops just vanish if they happen to 'fall out' beyond the resulting path — the same way they get dropped when you edit a path with a Direct Selection tool (which can also be treated as a bug, because you are just ditching user data — these color stops should be able to be placed outside of the path!)
Images 6 and 7 show what happens if you try to make the shape larger than the…

Freeform Gradient Crashes Illustrator
If press V and I select seemingly any object in my drawing, press G to select gradient, and then I select Freeform Gradient, then Illustrator simply freezes forever until I force it to close. I'm able to select Linear and Radial gradient just fine. This only seems to happen with Freeform Gradient. I attached my file to this ticket. If you want a specific object to try, try the blue handle of the sword in the bottom right. But it seems to happen on any object.
I'm using Adobe Illustrator 26.0.3 64-bit.
My RAM is not overloaded, and I have…

Freeform Gradient fails at transformation.
Hey I like the freeform gradient tool. But after it is applied to an object, the gradient has some major issues with resizing and rotation of the object. From what I can tell the points are not truly anchored in the object, so when the shape rotates the gradient points drop off the object, causing them to delete. It's like the gradient floats above the object. Or more frustratingly, sometimes when using the line gradient within the freeform settings, a point will delete causing the lines to cross and lock up, becoming uneditable. Usually, if you are within the gradient,…

Freeform Gradient / Gradiente Livre - Problemas com objeto expandido
[HELP] [Free Gradient] Guys, I have a problem that I can't solve. I created a vector icon that is joined and expanded. When I apply Gradient Free it appears normal. But when I resize the object it is "losing the gradient". I recorded the screen. I've tried everything here, do you know how to solve it? The editable file is there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aP40Rzv_zUG0MZSqTp16ZfJsnRlMLPME/view?usp=sharing
Thank you guys

An object with a freeform gradient fill makes the coloring control in the tool panel switched to None
In the tool panel we have three indicator buttons, which show the current type of fill/stroke for the selection — Fill, Gradient, None.
Illustrator switches it to None, when an object with a freeform gradient fill is selected.I can understand why it probably happens. Since freeform gradients are not technically gradients, and using this mode converts an object into a dynamic container for generating a triangular mesh, it makes sense for Illustrator to not display the proper indicator here — the container has no fill... but it makes no sense for a user. It is you who decided it’s…

Specific gradients across/along stroke with Overprint Stroke option are broken
In the attached file you can see two identical gradients applied to two identical paths. One looks fragmented and shattered, something is really off with the tessellation. The other one is fine.
If you select the weird one disable the Overprint Stroke option in Attributes — it works fine. Choose another and enable the option — it gets corrupted as well.
If you copy either in a new file — the behavior continues. But if you try to reproduce this bug anew in a new file from the scratch — it won’t get reproduced.

freeform gradient edit
I actually don't know if this is a feature request or a bug report, but I can't edit freeform gradients after I deselect the object with the gradient and then come back to it. When I come back to an object with a freeform gradient, using the gradient tool, the mouse pointer gets a little "no" symbol next to it (Wikipedia says it's called a general prohibition sign) and I can't see, let alone select and edit, any of the stops of the gradient. Is this a bug, or am I supposed to not be able to edit these? If…

Freeform Gradient line mode misbehaviour
The new Freeform gradient tool seems to be full of bugs :(
One such example is when you are working with a line type gradient that has 3 or more points, selecting a certain point, double clicking to change the colour and then selecting the eyedropper will change the point selection to the most recently created point.

Illustrator on Mac, updated to Ventura. Freeform gradients are not showing up in saved PDF
Hi, i just updated to Ventura. My company invoice banner has a freeform gradient that isn't showing up.
It shows up in adobe acrobat, not in preview. However when i sent it as a trial to a friend on whatsapp via the desktop app, the gradient showed up. On the phone in the whatsapp app it doesnt. This discrepancy is highly frustrating.4 votes -
Expanding a path with a gradient doesn't expand, just creates a group with the same path
I want to expand a gradient applied to a path so that I have bands of colour as vectors in place of the gradient.
I have been using this tool in this way successfully but this week there seems to be a bug: it works until it doesn't and then doesn't work at all.
If I quit Illustrator and reopen everything it might work again, but with some paths it doesn't work at all. Please see my screenshots.

Round cap overlap when using gradient along stroke
Gradient along stroke and round cap overlaps. It is visible when the gradient is transparent. MEanwhile projecting cap does not have this issue.
Please resolve this ASAP, my client is waiting and there is no workaround.- Operating system: Both Windows and Mac has this issue.
- Illustrator version: 27.2
- How to replicate the bug: Make line, add stroke with transparency at the end, apply gradient along stroke, apply round cap.
- Expected result is that the cap should not overlap with the stroke.

Issues with drawing inside a vector with freeform gradient
Operating system: MacOS Monterey
Illustrator version: 26.5When I try to draw inside a vector I made, the colour of the vector changes and I was advised in the Adobe forum that this is likely a bug with the freeform gradient.
Here's what I've done:
I have created a vector with a freeform gradient.
I press the vector and choose draw inside.
I click outside the vector.
I choose the brush tool and change to the colour I want.
I draw inside the vector.
The colour of the vector changes.
I have also recorded a video so that you can…

When using gaussian blur or outer glow on top of a gradient object, the gradient underneath becomes transparent.
The object in the pictures shown is applied the outer glow effect. When I place the object on top of the shape applied with gradient colors, the gradient becomes transparent as the glow appears to have disappeared.

Radial gradient generates broken CSS
Illustrator CC 22.1. To reproduce, create a rectangle with fill set to any radial gradient. Name the rectangle, open CSS Properties window. Observe the generated CSS:
.GradientBox

I can't use the freeform gradient tool in Illustrator for some reason.
For some odd reason, freeform gradient is not usable. I add in rectangles and saved images but nothing works. In addition, the other gradient tools are available for selection but have no impact on the image as well.
I'm using version 27.4 (64 bit) on a Samsung.
