1. Gradient stroke cannot be cut and pasted.

   Reproduction:

   1. Draw a path with a gradient stroke and no fill.
   2. Select and cut or copy the path.
   3. Paste. Normally, In Front, Behind, or In Place.
   4. The expected result is, of course, a new copy of this gradient-stroked path.
   5. Actual results range from a copy of the path with the stroke expanded, an image that was cut and paste sometime last week, or an error popup that says "This operation cannot complete because of an unknown error [PDF!]"

   As per the comment from the OP, the LaunchBar clipboard manager seems to not be compatible the Illustrator format. The same happens with other clipboards managers, including the default one for Windows. However, there are reports it used to work with previous versions of Illustrator. If you have more details on this, or the same problem, — please comment.

2. 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.

   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.

4. 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, illustrator will give you a warning that it doesn't allow points to be deleted if it causes the lines to cross. But it allows it if it is in some kind of object transformation. If this happens, the only work around I've found is to set the object to a non-freeform gradient, and then switch back to freeform and re-lay out the whole thing.

   Any way, this is super frustrating because I've spent hours and hours redoing gradients. I need to preserve the editability of them. This is on the current illustrator version 24.0.2. please fix the bug, thanks!

5. 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.

   The problem is not fixed, alas, despite the previous fix, and everybody who tried to pick a Gradient tool after selecting a region with the Live Paint Selection tool can see this... OK, back to work with this.

8. Problem with tracing feature

   Hi.
   I have a problem with tracing feature. Never have I been able to use this feature, not once. Each time the error message appears: "Can not be fully executed because an unknown problem has occurred (CANT)".
   Why is that?
   Can someone help me?

9. 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%.

10. 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 it's not a bug, then this is a feature request for the ability to edit freeform gradients.

11. 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.

12. 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?

    Request to Contact Support  ·  AdminRama (Mgr, Software Quality Engineering, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

13. 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
    {
    background : -moz-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
    background : -webkit-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
    background : -webkit-gradient(radial,50% 50% ,0 , 50% 50%, 272.12 ,color-stop(0,rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) ),color-stop(1,rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) ));
    background : -o-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
    background : -ms-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Stlye=2);"
    background : radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
    border-style : Solid;
    border-color : #000000;
    border-color : rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
    border-width : 1px;
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Stlye=2);
    }

    There are 3 problems here:

    1. On line 8 of the CSS (the legacy IE -ms-filter rule), the semicolon is inside the double quotes instead of outside, making it invalid.
    2. In the legacy IE "-ms-filter" and "filter" rules, lines 8 and 14, Style is misspelled as "Stlye".
    3. How would an alpha filter be equivalent to a radial gradient in legacy IE versions in the first place?

    Thanks!

    background : -o-radial-gradient(50% 50%, circle farthest-corner, rgba(255, 255, 255, 1) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%);
