  1. Spellcheck turns off when you apply Drop Shadow or other effects to a text

    Spellcheck must work for all text objects once enabled, no matter what appearance it has.

    Here, the same line of text with a typo in it has a drop shadow and a custom fill applied. No zigzag lines, and all those who count on Ai to mark they typos are in trouble.

  2. replace spine grey out

    I drew a blend gradient object and then drew a wave line by pen. When I tried to use the "replace spine under object" to transform the color gradient of object to the wave line, the option of "replace spine" has been grey-out. I have already selected both the gradient object and the wave line. Please advise.

  3. Outline 0.001pt isn't even - Laser doesn't understand path

    When we use an outline of 0.01pt the path is even, when we decrease the path to 0.001pt for the laser to understand we get an uneven line. How do we fix this?

  4. 「レビュー用に共有」で塗りがネガポジ反転する。

    「レビュー用に共有」をしたときリンク先で表示されるドキュメントの塗りや線の色がネガポジ反転してしまいました。
    色々と試してみたところ、カラー絵文字フォントが原因のようで、アウトライン化したら正しく表示されるようになりました。
    アウトライン化前とアウトライン化後のファイルを共有しておきます。
    (正しい塗りの色は青です)

    こちらはリリース版(27.4.1)、プレリリース版(27.6)どちらも再現しました(Mac OS、Ventura)。
    Windows11のリリース版も同様です。
    いずれもブラウザはChrome。MacはSafariでも試しました。

  5. Visual glitch

    White patches on screen when working on full pack layouts. To remove it and view the artwork correctly, Overprinting Preview has to be turned on, but it makes working slow.

  6. Vertical Type Tool Not Working Properly

    (See Image for reference)
    When using the vertical type tool, it used to make a word have the letters stacked over each other. (like in column 'B) Now when you click with the Vertical Type Tool to type anything, it appears as image 'A'. I do not think its supposed to look like a word that has just been rotated 90 degrees? (like in column 'C')

  7. Round cap overlap when using gradient along stroke

    Gradient along stroke and round cap overlaps. It is visible when the gradient is transparent. MEanwhile projecting cap does not have this issue.
    Please resolve this ASAP, my client is waiting and there is no workaround.

    1. Operating system: Both Windows and Mac has this issue.
    2. Illustrator version: 27.2
    3. How to replicate the bug: Make line, add stroke with transparency at the end, apply gradient along stroke, apply round cap.
    4. Expected result is that the cap should not overlap with the stroke.

  9. Gaussian blur does not get rendered

    Two white stripes on the blue background have gaussian blur applied to them, but the effect is invisible (unless I reduce Document Raster Effects’ Resolution). The CS6 version is throwing you a warning it’s not enough RAM to apply the effect. The latest version just says nothing, it just calculates it, shows the progress bar, but doesn’t apply it (I checked this with the All the Warnings reset also).

    This same file has another problem, unfoldable layers — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794262

    The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

  10. Clipping mask for a layer doesn’t move when dragged in real-time render mode

    If you move art with its layer-level clipping mask, Ai will draw it as if you move the art without the clipping mask. See the GIF attached.

  11. When a mesh object is set as a key for aligning, the edge of it doesn’t look bold

    When you click an object to mark it as a key object for aligning, Ai draws a fat bold edge around it. Works fine, but not for meshes. Need to be fixed.

  12. Layer's options display 'Dim Images' turned on when it's off

    1. Go to Layer Options
    2. Enable 'Template' option
    3. Uncheck 'Dim Images to' option
    4. Hit OK
    5. Go to Layer Options again
    6. 'Dim Images' is on by itself, despite I turned it off in step 3

  13. When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty

    If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.

    Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.

    So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

  14. 細線に対する線幅プロファイルが正常に適用されない

    macOS10.15.7/ver.26.3.1

    再現手順
    1. 10mm程度の線分を描画する。
    2. 線幅を0.41mmに設定し、線幅プロファイルをアーチ状(デフォルトプリセットの6番目)のものを適用する。
    3. 歪んだ状態で適用される。パスのアウトラインを行うと歪んだ状態でアウトライン化される。

    期待する結果
    ver.25の様に適用した線幅プロファイルが正常に適用される。

    実際の結果
    細線では線幅プロファイルが正常に適用されない。
    また、過去のバージョンで作成されたデータではデータを開いただけでは正常な表示となりますが、編集作業の影響で形状が歪みます。これは付近のオブジェクト操作の影響によって生じる場合もあり危険です。線幅と長さの比率に相関関係がありそうですが現象の特定には至っておりません。

    以下のコミュニティページもご参照ください。

  16. Image Trace (Make and Expand) has changed default settings

    When following the Object>Image Trace>Make and Expand, the action used to just convert the image to a black and white cutout, but since the last update it's changed to "logo" preset like in the advanced settings. Now I have to enter the advanced settings every time to use the black and white option, rendering the menu option useless, and taking a few extra steps to get the result I want. Is there a way to change it back to the old settings? Or actually be able to choose what the default setting in the menu option is?

  17. Problem with mouse wheel when switching applications with ALT+TAB Windows

    When switching from Illustrator to another application with the key combination ALT+TAB, using the mouse wheel (e.g.: zoom) no longer works correctly. The application must first be minimized and then maximized again for the Maurad to function normally again.

    Beim Wechel von Illustrator in einer andere Anwendung mit der Tastenkombination ALT+TAB funktioniert das Verwenden des Mausrades (z.B.: Zoom) nicht mehr korrekt. Die Anwendung muss erst minimiert und dann wieder maximiert werden, damit das Maurad wieder normal funktioniert.

  18. Slow opening of Illustrator.

    I have had the following problem for a few years now (therefore different versions of Illustrator, let's say from 2020-2023).

    When I start Illustrator, opening the first (I specify the first) document that is an Empty table or an already existing document that Ai takes an exaggerated amount of time! Then, after this step, the other documents are opened in normal times.
    This happens to me from different versions of the software, and it also happens if I close the software and restart it to open a document, or if I start Ai after restarting my computer.

    the hardware is…
