  2. Dotted grids don’t show up in 27.9

    When a grid is set as Style:Dots, it does not show up any more after update to 27.9, even when grids are not hidden. The dotted grids work in 27.8.1, and the lined grids work in both version.

  3. ライブペイントオブジェクトにオーバープリントブラックを適用した際の問題

    ライブペイントを適用したオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントブラックを適用するとライブペイント設定が消える。

    macOS11.6
    Illustrator CC2022以降

    再現手順
    1. 線や麺の組み合わせでライブペイントを作成し着色する。
    2. ライブペイントオブジェクトを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
    3. ライブペイントに対して指定した処理が消え、閉図形外で保持されていた線も幅0.5pt、K100の黒に変化する。

    期待する結果
    ライブペイントオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントした際、閉図形外のK100の線等以外にオーバープリント属性を適用せず、ライブペイントオブジェクトの状態を保持する。

    実際の結果
    ライブペイントオブジェクトに指定した塗りなどの情報が消え、元から持っている線幅等の情報も一定値に変化する。

    代替処理
    ライブペイントに対する「ブラックオーバープリント」は行わない。必要なオーバープリント指定は手動で指定するか、ライブペイントオブジェクト自体を拡張してから「ブラックオーバープリント」を適用する。

  4. .svg QR code generated with Adobe Express does not open properly

    When I generate .svg QR codes in Adobe Express, I cannot open them properly in Illustrator. An error message appears. There is a way to manually correct it, but well, it would be useful to save this hassle.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.3.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  7. Don’t delete preferences after downgrade

    This issue is critical.

    When downgrading using the CC app (from “Other versions”), the entire preference folder is wiped out, for instance from 27.9 to 27.8.1.

    It means that downgrading delete without warning years of work on custom shortcuts, transparency presets, default options, workspaces, etc.

    I lost everything just because I wanted to avoid some bugs I had in 27.9.

    At the very least, there should be a warning. Ideally, there should be no deletion of preferences.

    Even if the use makes a copy of their preferences folder (for instance by copying “enGB” to “enGB (backup)”, the backup…

  9. Share does not support opacity mask

    The new Share for review does not display correct if there is opacity mask. I had open distressed texture tutorial from the Discover Panel and was eager to test Share for review … result was a black screen since this was below the group that had an opacity mask.

    I added other element they were visible but not the elements that had opacity mask. Releasing Opacity Mask and the review works as normal.

  11. Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!

    When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.
    I made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBYTfLfOpRU

    1. Create a new file.
    2. Create one ore more text objects. And some other path objects too, if you like.
    3. Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
    4. Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
    5. Try to export the file (Export…

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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).

  16. Cut/Copy/Paste not working

    Cut/Copy/Paste are not working properly in the most recent version of Illustrator (Windows version). I'll cut/copy something, and then it'll refuse to paste. This is not an error with my hardware, the clipboard works fine on every other program.

  18. Copy and paste

    I'm having problems with copying and pasting any object. Every time I need to undo the action and copy again the same object to be able to paste, because the first copy/cutout, that shows me the action actually exist, the program does not allow to paste the object.

  20. Placing Linked PDF file with "Show Import Options > Crop to:", placement doesn't obey the option selected

    On the latest update to Illustrator (early July 2023), when placing a PDF with "Show Import Options", no matter which option is picked (Art, Crop, Trim, Bleed, Media), it always places to the crop/artboard, even though there is bleed set and larger media/artwork beyond the artboard in the PDF.
