Toggling Layer Visibility now Lags Greatly with each New Layer Added after introduction of Search to Layers
In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.
Here's how to reproduce the BUG that has been introduced into ILLUSTRATOR now:
I'm using a - Windows 10 Desktop
Illustrator v 27.6.1
ASUS Laptop with 40 GB of RAM
1TB SSD drives and plenty of scratch disk and page file space.Reproduction Steps:
- create a new Illustrator document 1920x1080

3 votesFixed in Beta 27.9 5. Please check if it works for you.
At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.

BUG - free transform tool groups selected layers to 1 layer
When selecting several Layers and using the Free Transform Tool, Illustrator moves all these layers to 1 single layer.
I guess this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?3 votes -

Layer-Indicator-Bug (minor)
When moving an artwork onto another layer the indicator-color changes as aspected. If the new layer however is nested in another layer, and the artwork is moved from the nested layer onto the parent layer, the indicator color remains the nested layers color.
This can be fixed, by closing and opening the childview of the parent layer.
Also this does not apply, if the artwork is moved directly onto the layer and not between existing artworks on that layer.01 - Artwork is moved onto a new layer
02 - New layer is nested in an parent layer

unwanted layer merge
Computer 1 creates a file with 4 layers (Print, reg marks, thru-cut, crease)
Computer 2 opens file and all layers have been merged onto 1 single layer. In fact the other layers don't even exist anymore. Also everything in the merged layer has a clipping mask over it?
Yet when computer 1 opens the file again all the layers are still there.Same versions of illustrator on computers 1 & 2.

The layers of my project have disappeared
The fact is that I was working and when performing an action, all the layers of my workbench were deleted. Neither cntl + Z, nor file recovery, nor the files in data to recover a past version help me.

Unfoldable layers
Illustrator does not display and allow to click unfold arrows next to these layers, despite the objects in them exist in the document.
The other problem is the applied-but-not-displayed gaussian blur, but that’s the different problem: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794277
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

Send to Current Layer not working - moves entire layer instead of only selected objects
I'm trying to move some objects from one layer to another.
I'm selecting a series of objects, then clicking on the empty layer that I want to move the objects to. I'm choosing Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer. When I do this, instead of only the selected objects moving (expected behavior), all the objects on the layer are sent to the other layer.
(Normally I would simply cut the objects, then use Paste In Front on another layer to paste them in the same position. But these functions are also not working for me - the objects…

Layer's options display 'Dim Images' turned on when it's off
- Go to Layer Options
- Enable 'Template' option
- Uncheck 'Dim Images to' option
- Hit OK
- Go to Layer Options again
- 'Dim Images' is on by itself, despite I turned it off in step 3

Toggling Layer Visibility Causes Hang
Toggling layer visibility seems to be increasingly difficult for my latest release of the standard Illustrator build. I just tried a complete uninstall/reinstall, and the problem persists. Once I toggle layers on/off without any other active layer visible I get the Mac beach ball/spinning wheel. If I add a blank placeholder layer I have no issues toggling as shown below. This is the current release of Illustrator. I can share one of these files to see if it is setting related or cannot be reproduced, but I had this same issue on a much higher spec’d out PC than my…

Layer Arrow Disappears
When collapsing sub-layers of a layer, the arrow to expand the sub-layers is no longer visible. Clicking the eye would restore the arrow, but this is a bug that should be fixed.

marquee selects empty layers
We are using a document template with nested layers (i.e. all layers are in correct order and properly named before drawing starts)
Marqueeing objects unfortunately selects some empty layers besides those that lead to the artwork. The document info displays the selection correctly, and the attribute panel reports differing notes3 votes -
Quitte inopinément
Avec le système monterey sur un iMac neuf et récent ainsi que sur iPad M1 neuf, l’appli quitte à la moindre action dès lors qu il y a plusieurs calques. Impossible de travailler professionnellement comme avant. Il s’agit peut-être d’une incompatibilité système et nécessite une mise à jour d’urgence.

Phantom/stuck bounding box
Bounding box appears in unusual places when I'm grouping/ungrouping. Then it gets stuck. I cant deselect it, delete, move, un/group, etc. It stays put and I can't get rid of it. Even when undoing my previous actions.

Paste Remembers Layers
Updated Illustrator to version 26.0 a day or two ago.
Continued working in a document created before this. The option "Paste Remembers Layers" is checked but when pasting the artwork it isn't pasted in the sublayers I copied them from.
Instead all the artwork elements I've copied pastes in the main layer of said sublayers when I try to paste to a different artboard. (all within the same document). When I paste on the same artboard I've copied from it will paste into the top sublayer.

Ctrl+](前面へ移動)を入力すると、稀に選択したオブジェクトが右方向に移動する
OS:Windows10
Illustrator v25.4.1とv26.0.1 両方で確認JISキーボードにおいて、初期設定では｢前面に移動｣で登録されているCtrl+]キーを入力すると、稀に選択中のオブジェクトが前面に移動すると同時に右方向へずれる(→キーを入力した時と同じ)挙動をする現象を確認しました。
キーボード操作だとCtrlキーと]キーを同時に連打すると稀に起き、サードパーティ製のキー入力デバイスで"Ctrl+]"と同時入力するよう設定し機械的に入力すると、より確実に同様の現象が起きます。
1 voteIllustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。
ご報告いただきました現象につきまして検証した結果、以下のような結果が得られました。
・「Ctrl」キーと「]」キーを同時ではなく、交互に何度も押し続けると選択されたオブジェクトが右方向へ移動する。
・1 秒間に 3 回程度の速度で、交互にキーを押し続けると再現しやすい。
・「Ctrl」キーと「[」キーの場合に左へ移動などの現象は発生しない。
・macOS では再現しない。
以上の再現方法でお試しいただき、同様の結果が得られたかどうかをお知らせください。
お手数をおかけいたしますが、よろしくお願いいたします。

Collapsing layers
LAYER BUGS
1) when Alt + click on layer, only the TOPMOST sublayer is collapsed. The rest of the sublayers remain expanded
2) The REAL bug is that when I collapse all layers, save, close, and reopen, ALL LAYERS AND SUBLAYERS ARE AUTOMATICALLY EXPANDED!!! It should remember the state of ALL layers, without regard to whether it is a sublayer or not. The USER COMMUNITY have been asking for a fix to this for at least 10 years!

moving a path to an invisible group still enables me to edit
Hi, I was painting a path with the blob brush, then i decided to paint a new path on top of the other one and i didnt want to join with the original, so I moved the original to an invisible group and proceeded to paint the new path, for my surprise the original in the invisible group joined with the new path, I don't see this like a feature.
