Back with a vengeance: Constrain (holding Shift key) doesn't work with Smart Guides turned on, for Scale, Rotate, Reflect
This is an older bug that was fixed a while ago but seems to be back with a vengeance.
It is now happening in Adobe Illustrator 28.4 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1.
See this link:
When smart guides are on none of the constrain features (holding down shift) work properly, whether it's rotating, reflecting, etc. It just sort of jumps back to one position, often the original position, and won't move. The little magenta text that lets you know the angle etc. also goes a little crazy and looks like it's trying to display a few different words on…
15 votesA current 'workaround' is to disable Transform Tools option in Preferences > Smart Guides. This removes the 'uniform' guide, making the smart guides less useful, but it stops it from jittering.

Since MacOs Sequoia upgrade, Illustrator randomly recording / monitoring screen despite disabled in Privacy settings.
Since MacOs Sequoia upgrade, Illustrator randomly recording / monitoring screen despite disabled in Privacy settings. Sequoia bug, AI bug, or Sequoia revealing this was happening all along. Could just be the color picker, could not. Doesnt happen reliably with color picker use. Only happens in Illustrator and only since the Sequoia upgrade. Something isnt working right between the OS and app.
If screen monitoring is turned off, Illustrator should not be able to monitor.2 votesIllustrator uses Apple screenshot API to pick colors outside the Illustrator window with Eyedropper tool. Apple has enhanced security in the recent OS updates to let user know which applications are recording the screen, whether you pick a color value of single pixel or recording the entire screen.
Illustrator is not recording users's screen, it is required for Eyedropper tool to pick color from single pixel.

Shortcut for Split Into Grid
I previously had a custom shortcut assigned to the “Split Into Grid” command, and it was incredibly useful. However, it seems that this shortcut no longer works and the command has been removed from the Illustrator keyboard shortcuts menu, preventing me from reassigning it.
I truly hope this feature can be reinstated, as it significantly streamlines the workflow and enhances productivity.
Thank you!

Random inverted Movement lock during Wacom Cintiq Pen and mouse usage
I haven't used AI in awhile. I updated it today from CC. I'm on Windows 11 with a Cintiq 24. When I go to move an object or shift my workspace view, the pen motion or mouse motion will lock and invert. I won't be able to access any menu items. I was in task manager as I reproduced this. Doesn't look like it affects memory too much. Just trying to figure out if this is a bug or new setting.

Stroke appears to have Brush applied with no actual Brush
When I am in ANY artboard, I draw a .0139" x .0139" OR 1px x 1px square to center my artboard. I zoom in to as far as I can to then pull my ruler from top left to center the artwork on the page.
2 things,
1 the square (1px x 1px) appears to have a brush stroke on it as it does NOTAND
I cannot pull the centering tool (in ruler, Ctl-R ) onto my artboard to then center the coordinates.
2 votesGPU mode Ai uses by default is fast, but can be imprecise at high zoom levels. To see the art the way it’s drawn, with no precision rounding artifacts, toggle it to CPU mode instead.

Illustrator prevents Mac display from sleeping due to inactivity
When Illustrator is left open for some time, it prevents my MacBook display from turning off and locking. It also prevents the screensaver from coming on. I am 100% sure this is caused by Illustrator because I have done the following experiment twice:
- Change the screen saver to come on after 1 minute.
- Leave the Mac idle for over 1 minute.
- Screen saver does not start.
- Close Illustrator application.
- Leave the Mac idle again.
- Observe that the screen saver starts and the computer locks after 1 minute.
After restarting Illustrator, the problem goes away for a short time but then…

[ExtendScript] TextFrame cannot be selected after creating
In script, after creating a new TextFrame it cannot be selected the first time.
(function () { if (0 === app.documents.length) return alert('Please open a document and try again.'); var doc = app.activeDocument, results = ['Results:']; // experiment 1 var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf1.contents = '1. created, selected:'; tf1.selected = true; results.push(tf1.contents + ' ' + (tf1.selected ?

'PASS' : 'FAIL')); alert(results.join('\n')); })();Expected results: both tests would pass.

Using scrollbars with a Wacom while editing text results in sticky cursor that will not stop scrolling
Using the handles in the horizontal and vertical scrollbars while text is being edited results in the cursor 'sticking' to the scrollbar and not releasing. Pressing esc, alt-tabbing away all seem to have no effect, after about 30s it stops and if I have minimised everything with Win+M. Unsure if it is purely time-based or not.
This only seems to occur when using a Wacom, the same interaction with a mouse does not suffer from the same sticky cursor.
Steps to repro:
- create a text object, and leave the cursor live inside the object. Doesn't seem to make a…1 vote -
Edit Gradient Issue
As you can tell by the picture, I've clicked on an object that already has a gradient, but it does not give me the option to click 'Edit Gradient' and it does not already show me the gradient line over top of the object so I can manipulate the sliders. However, when I clicked on the object below (which also has a gradient) it did give me the option to click "Edit Gradient"

Artboard orientation changes from vertical to horizontal (portrait to landscape) by itself
After update to 28.3, some artboards are switching orientation by themselves. It's not specific to content or number of artboards, apparently. Sometimes I just open a document with some artboards and hover my cursor over them (not even clicking anything) and the artboard just flips orientation from vertical to horizontal. Most of my work consists on social media posts (1080x1920px or 1080x1350px) witch now Illustrator insists in automatically switching to Landscape for no apparent reason.
By the way, the content is not flipped, just the artboard. And not all of them, usually just one out of the 10 or 20…18 votesThe fix is pushed into Global Availability build 28.6.
