Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

The default text color in Swatches Info is rich RGB black when used in a CMYK document
Create a CMYK document with Print profile.
Create a Swatches Info object.
Notice the black text in it is way too sharp on edges.
Select text and check its color. It’s RGB 0 0 0, displayed in CMYK something like 91,17 78,69 61,95 97,45 (depending on the profile used, of course).
It makes zero sense to use RGB Black in a CMYK document... in a live object especially.Yes, black color is not defined with Normal Paragraph Style, but is properly defined when a text is created with Type Tool. Why doesn’t this function know about it?

Recolor doesn’t allow to change white or black with a first try
I use the Recolor (color mixer / wheel) daily. I have come across an annoying bug.
Some base colors will be automatically 'locked' in the color mixer, indicated by a '-'. For example, let's say I'm trying to turn white into red.
- First, white needs to be unlocked. By clicking the '-', it will become an arrow '->', and the swatch should be toggle-able now.
- The first time you toggle the white, it selects, sliders can be moved to make it red, but it doesn't stay adjusted; it reverts back to whites.

CMYK-Werte im Farbwähler werden nach „Ohne Farbe“ in RGB umgewandelt – trotz CMYK-Dokument
Ich arbeite in einem Illustrator-Dokument im CMYK-Farbmodus. Wenn ich die Flächenfarbe eines Objekts auf „Ohne Farbe“ setze und danach über den Farbwähler neue CMYK-Werte eingebe, wandelt Illustrator diese automatisch in RGB-Farben um – obwohl das Dokument und die Farbeinstellungen vollständig auf CMYK eingestellt sind.
Das Problem tritt seit Kurzem in allen neuen und bestehenden Dateien auf, auch nach Zurücksetzen der Voreinstellungen und Neuinstallation.
Der Fehler lässt sich jederzeit reproduzieren:
Neues CMYK-Dokument erstellen
Objekt zeichnen, Fläche auf „Ohne Farbe“ setzen
Über Farbwähler CMYK-Wert eingeben
Illustrator wandelt die Eingabe in RGB um
Das Verhalten widerspricht dem erwarteten Verhalten in einem CMYK-Dokument und…3 votes -
Swatch Info renders a saved tint as yet another copy of the main global color
The feature doesn't work correctly with tints for global colors.
When a new tint of a global color is saved into Swatches, it gets displayed as an un-tinted one by Swatch Info, as the image shows.4 votes -
Select Unused Swatches does not select the second black swatch in Grays color group
— Create a new Print document with default swatches.
— Delete ALL the presets: brushes, symbols, graphic styles...
— Now Open Swatches and run Select All Unused command from its flyout menu.
White and Black are not selected (expected in a way).
But notice that 'C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100' is also not selected.
So when all the selected swatches get deleted, this black duplicate stays, and the color group stays, and you have to delete it manually — each time.I tried to understand what forces Ai to keep it.
As I said, not presets remain, and I redefine the…8 votes -
Swatches Info doesn’t work for the only swatch selected
If you only have 1 swatch selected you can’t create a Swatches Info from the Swatches panel’s menu. The only way to make it work is to make it 2 colors, select them and create the object, and then remove the unneeded color card from it manually.

Conversion from CMYK to Grayscale is wrong
Converting CMYK values to Grayscale will not give the expected result. C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converts to 100% Grayscale in a CMYK document.
The same C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converted to R: 92 G: 81 B: 76
in an RGB document it converts to 67,16% Grayscale, which looks more like the expected Gray value.3 votes -
Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info
If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.
I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and…

In "recolor artwork" when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose it, but will not use those colors.
In "recolor artwork", when I select a "user defined" color palette, it lets me chose that palette, but will not use those colors in the recoloring options. For instance, I can select the color palette, but when I go to randomly change the color order, it does not use those colors, it only uses the colors that are already in the artwork.
In previous versions, once I selected the "user defined" colors, that selection of swatch colors would appear in the "Swatch group" side panel. That no longer happens. And as stated before, just doesn't work in general.

Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...
Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...
Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...
Shame!

Illustrator Paths Automatically Filled Black Despite No Color Selection
In the past few days Illustrator has given me trouble: as you can see in the picture i get a black filling on any path I create even if no color is selected!
I have just uninstalled and re-downloaded the illustrator app from my creative cloud (version 29.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem.
I can't work this way.
Any suggestions?1 vote -

Recolor artwork with patterns doesn't work
Using Mac OS Ventura 13.3
Adobe Illustrator 29.2.1As described, I am able to access the recolor artwork panel but when I click OK it doesn't do anything. Video below. It used to work.

Only one pattern fill of many gets scaled when Transform Object option is disabled in the Scale dialog
Take a look at the attached file and watch the GIF.
I have an object with two pattern fills assigned, and I want to scale them both at once, but to leave the object unscaled.
But when I call Scale dialog and uncheck 'Transform Object' option — only one of two fills gets scaled — the currently chosen one in the Appearance panel (despite my attempt to pick 'Path' there to somehow make my intention clear).
Fill/Stroke Selector also displays the affected fill — and I surely understand it can’t have both. But what can we do to make it…

Color Picker color changes when pressing OK
When using the eyedropper in Color Picker, when you click OK it samples the color behind the OK button instead of the one selected with the eyedropper.

Pressing None button in tool Panel for mixed fill/stroke doesn’t work
If you have a selection with different fills and/or strokes, Ai will mark it with question marks in fill/color selector.
And if you want set it to None, you should be able to click the button below — but it doesn’t work.
But the same button in Color panel works, and the '/' hotkey works.
Please fix this.
