  2. Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)

    Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
    The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!
    It used to work! In CS6 (no GPU at all) it works, in CC2017 (v21), with GPU disabled, it does…

  5. Illustrator 2023 freezes when launching

    Freeze Illustrator app (2023) always when I launch the app first time after launching Windows 10.

    Current temporary solution is
    1) Freeze illustrator during launch (No response condition)
    2) Close the app by task manager or any relevant method
    3) Click Illustrator again then select whichever the choice to open ( "Run Diagnostics" or "Launch Illustrator")
    4) Normally open the app
    5) After close the app, situation is the same from step 1

    Already tried to uninstall the app and reinstall but situation doesn't change.

  6. Crashes when a path segment is moved

    Whenever I am attempting to move an object and inadvertently grab a path segment instead of a point, there is a 50% chance Illustrator will crash. This has been a problem for over two years.

  8. Save then multiple Redo (using keyboard shortcut) Crashes Illustrator

    Some times, I hit save instead of save as. I then undo a few steps and save. I then hit redo a few time in rapid succession and illustrator crashes.

  9. Illustrator not copying SVG code to clipboard

    After updating to v 27.5, objects that I copy and then paste into other apps are pasting as un-antialiased rasterized images. Previously, the copied data would paste as vectors into apps that accept SVG data, and antialiased transparent PNG images in other apps. To get around this I am first pasting into XD, then copying the data as SVG. It would be good to restore the original behavior of the clipboard.

    According to the team, SVG copy/paste was disabled by default as many customers see performance issues on Windows 11 (due to clipboard recorder). It can get enabled back again in Preferences > Clipboard Handling > Include SVG Code.

  10. Big ugly black square in the middle of my picture.

    Every time I open a PDF version of my image, Illustrator adds a big ugly black square right in the middle of my picture, and there doesn't appear to be a quick way to remove it.

  12. Illustrator crashes when you change document color mode from RGB to CMYK and from CMYK to RGB

    Illustrator crashes when you change a document color mode from RGB to CMYK, if the file was created in RGB and contains vector objects. If the file was created as CMYK and you try to change it to RGB, Illustrator crashes too.

    1. MacOS Ventura 13.1
    2. Illustrator 27.2
    3. Explained in the problem description
    4. Expected result - change color mode of the document. Actual result - application crashes.
    5. Attached a video and report from Apple

  13. Automatic numbering does not continue in linked area type

    While using automatic numbering, an area text linked to another Artboard or within the Artboard restarts the numbering from 1 after moving the overflown text to the second linked type area. Please add option to choose restart the numbering or continue numbering with user preference. Another issue is that one point with continuing the lines to the next type area also starts with numbering rather than considering the continuation of the last line from first type area.

  14. Rotate tool doesn't center

    When trying to select center while trying to rotate an object around another one, it doesn't center. It will put the center of rotation somewhere around the center of the second object. Like this everything rotated and copied is off center.

    Not sure if it is related, but when selecting several items and want to align them horizontally, it just doesn't work. It is placed off the axis (imaginary horizontal line).

  15. Application name in dialogue box contains strange character

    Illustrator version 27.6 shows strange characters in dialogue box.
    The app name is $$$/GeneralStr/196=Adobe Illustrator.
    It feels not good, to use an app with a strange behavior like this.

  18. Can't open specific files by double clicking icons (macOS Ventura)

    ファイルアイコンをダブルクリックしてもファイルが開かないことがあります。Creative Cloud Files に置いてある .ai データで発生する事象のようですが、正常に開くファイルもあり、法則性は今のところわからないですですが、開かないファイルが置いてあるのと同一のフォルダ内にある他のファイルもことごとく開かないのでフォルダによって挙動が異なるのかもしれません。(フォルダ名やファイル名に関するエラーメッセージなどは CC アプリでは表示されていません)
    開かないファイルは Creative Cloud Files からローカルデスクトップに移動またはコピーするとダブルクリックで開きます。

  19. There's a problem creating a NEW link to share the document after the initial link has been created.

    If you open an exiting document that has been shared with a link, resave the file with a new name, make changes, then try to create a new link, you will get an error.

  20. Switch window now blocked with an illegal action sound

    When I've got windows open on two monitors, when trying to pick the window on my second monitor (and sometimes on my primary monitor), there is a bing (noise to say I'm doing an illegal action) and it doesn't allow me to do it. This has only started since the last update and is not consistent. The way round I've found for it is to go the Window menu and pick the file on my second monitor and then it's all back to normal again.
