2. SVG Export code issues with fill gradient color

4. Gradients got broken when reopening a file

   A file I created only three months ago in an older version of Illustrator (project still ongoing) no longer shows the gradations. I spent DAYS creating. When I finally found where to get online Adobe support (that is not right), the tech had me download an older version of Illustrator as the solution. That does not seem like a solution. How do I keep these gradations in the new version? Why did they disappear? I have been a dedicated, daily user of Illustrator since 1990. I have more and more problems every year/upgrade. I used to always give your products/company a 10 rating. Now, if there was another program I could use, I would definitely try it.

   Do you have the test fil you can share with the team?

   Please remove anything sensitive from it and leave only the shape with the gradient. Do not move it into another doc or make sure it uses the same color mode as the original document does.

6. Trying to apply an opacity mask on an object with a freeform gradient makes it disappear

   I have an object with a freeform gradient and I'm trying to clip that with some text (which has been converted to a shape). Although it seems to work initially, after switching back form mask to the object layer, the object disappears completely.

7. Changing color on gradient object freezes illustrator

   I noticed a similar issue someone was having in 2019, but it doesn't seem precisely the same. I am running Illustrator 24.3 on Windows 10. I recently pulled up an Illustrator file from last year to pull items for a new, related project. One of the vectors is a gradient - I'm trying to change it to solid fill. The only way I can do this right now is to change it to whatever solid is my default in my Tools panel, then change it to the actual color I want in my color palette. The Color palette automatically selects one of the colors in the gradient with no way to deselect. Clicking a color in the Color palette from there creates a new gradient point buried or invisible beneath another one. If I try to switch the entire object to solid fill after accidentally editing this gradient point color, Illustrator freezes and shuts down.

8. Scaling freeform gradient objects with real-time drawing/editing on.

   When I have real-time drawing turned on, I can't select multiple objects that contain freeform gradients and scale them without losing the appearance of the objects. A single object works, more than one at a time will not. If I turn off real-time in preferences, this resolves the issue.

   Mac os 10.14, Illustrator c 24.2

   Please see videos for demo:

11. "Apply gradient across stroke" shows terrible banding compared to a standard linear gradient

    When applying a gradient to a stroke with the "apply gradient across stroke" option selected, the resulting gradient is very poor quality, with lots of visible banding.

    In the attached image the top gradient is formed by feathering a rectangle with corner radius of 31.235 px by 20px. The quality is fine, although feathering makes specifying specific colours a hassle.

    The middle object is the same rectangle with a 40pt stroke, with a white-to-black gradient applied with "apply gradient across stroke" selected. The gradient is very uneven, showing clear banding.

    The bottom is a the same linear gradient applied as a fill over a 40px-tall rectangle. Its gradient is smooth without visible banding.

    The document is in RGB colour mode and all the colours in the document are specified as RGB black (#000000) or white (#FFFFFF). The screenshot is taken at 100% with pixel preview disabled. Enabling pixel preview makes the gradient quality even worse (see the second attachment).

    I would expect stroke gradients to look equally high quality as conventional gradients or as gradients formed by stacking a feathered shape over a background.

13. Gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab

    Gradient locks to a color stop in the color tab. If I want to use a solid fill, on the color tab it only allows me to change the color stop. I cannot do anything to escape out of the gradient stop. I have to remove the gradient first then choose a color. Older versions allowed me to just click on the color fill box and I can toggle between gradient stop and object fill.

14. linear gradients switching to radial gradients unexpectedly

    Illustrator CC 2019 (both Mac and Win platforms) I teach at the college level. Numerous students have reported that they will create a linear gradient on a shape. When they continue editing other areas and return to that shape, the gradient has changed to radial. The linear gradient shape was not selected and they were not editing a gradient swatch. I cannot replicate this error. Any thoughts?

15. Freeform gradient line stops disappearing

    The freeform gradient tool is very cool in its flexibility but I have encountered some major bugs with the line option. I can create the line stops but if I change the opacity of a stop from 100% then stops along the line most of the time one or more stops disappear.

    Sometimes just clicking or clicking and moving a stop makes stops disappear as well.

    It makes the tool unusable. Hopefully, it will become more reliable in a future release.

16. Gradient stops being rotated when applied to a compound path

    When I make a compound path and give it a gradient and rotate it manually by 180 degrees everything is OK.
    When I rotate this object back by 180 degrees also everything is OK (gradient returns back to original 0 degrees). This how it should work.
    But when I save the file and open it again, this rotated object gets "damaged" — when I try to rotate it by 180 degrees, this gradient doesn't rotate, but it should. This happens only when I save the file and open it again. All guys in my team have the same problem with gradients in a compound path.
