  1. When relinking a file, the last accessed folder gets opened and not the one that had the link

    We need and option to open the folder containing a linked file when a link is missing or we choose "Relink file", instead of open last folder.

  2. Pantone swatches being deleted even after adding them to the correct folder

    Our graphic users need to use additional Pantones in Adobe illustrator. In order to do that, they copy some Pantone files to the AI's Pantones folder on the local machine. When they open AI, they can see and use the Pantone. The problem is, that after they close the AI application, it the Pantone files being deleted automatically from the AI's pantone folder. Therefore, they copy the Pantones to the AI's folder each time they need to use it, which is very discouraging.

  4. Wrong localization

    I have English version of Adobe Illustrator ver. 25.4.1
    I changed language to Russian and see that Russian localization is incorrect. These Russian words do not exist in the Russian language.
    Is that possible to update Russian localization in Adobe Illustrator?
    Just few examples below
    Full Justify Last Line Center -Полная выключка, последняя строка по центру
    Full Justify Last Line Full-Полная выключка абзаца и последней строки
    Full Justify Last Line Left-Полная выключка, последняя строка по левому краю
    Full Justify Last Line Righ-Полная выключка, последняя строка по правому краю
    Left Justify-Выключка по левому краю

  5. new function says it doesn't work

    When using version 26.0.2, the new function says it doesn't work.
    It seems that there is a problem with the patch since this problem occurred after this patch. Please take care of these matters before the end of the year.
    It's not a free program, but I use it every month to get rid of this bug!!!!

  7. Artboard Naming Display Error

    OS: MacOS 11.5.2 (Big Sur – most recent update)

    When renaming artboards, the text is cut off in the textbox on my M1 Macbook Air.

    Steps I took: Shift+O to access the artboard tool, click artboard, attempt to rename.

    I want to point out - I'm still able to rename the artboard, but the text is just cut off in the box (see picture below).

  8. Linked PDFs resizing when pasted

    If you open a multi page PDF in Illustrator and then copy and paste it either into the same document or a different one, it changes from cropping to the bounding box to whatever was specified last in the File/Place options dialogue box and scales up or down to fit the same space.

    If I place a file (any file) and specify cropping to Bounding Box, and then open the same multi page PDF as before, the problem does not occur. It appears that by opening a multi page PDF it crops to bounding box but by copying and pasting…

  10. Zeichenfläche beginnt nicht bei x0 y0

    1. MAC OS BIG SUR 15.5.1
    2. Illustrator CC 25.4.1

    Wenn ich mehrere Zeichenflächen in einem Dokument anlege, so beginnt NUR die erste Zeichenfläche bei x0 und y0.

    Auf den anderen Zeichenflächem befinden sich die Elemente außerhalb dieser Parameter.

    Man muss dann umständlich die Abstände ausrechnen, wenn man Objekte vom Nullpunkt ausgehend ausrichten möchte.
    Das Problem gibt es in den älteren Versionen nicht!

    Jede Zeichenfläche hat einen eigenen Nullpunkt unabhängig wo diese im Dokument platziert ist.

    Außerdem gab es in älteren Versionen beim Verändern der Werte einer Zeichenfläche immer eine Vorschau (welche sehr praktisch und hilfreich ist), wohin sich die ZF verschiebt…

  11. GPU Performance Glitches Still Not Fixed!! 2021

    GPU Performance glitches have been constantly and extremely annoying while displaying many files, it shows weird patterns from the same opened file overlaying the designs, and they randomly change and break while zooming in and out, sometimes I can't see how my design looks like because of these glitches, it is so serious, it makes the app sometimes next to useless!!

    Please, this problem has been there for a long, please fix, please fix

    I have tried the same files on 2 different machines, same issue

    Mac Book Pro 16 - 2019
    macOS Big Sur
    RAM 32

    iMac 27 inches…

  14. Copy/paste SVG missing closing > bracket

    Illustrator 25.3.1 64 bit Windows 10 v21H1

    Copy/Paste in this version is now missing ending ">" closing bracket noticeably when pasting as svg directly into text based editor such as vscode or notepad.

    Example:
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 432 432"><rect width="432" height="432"/></svg

    *note the missing greater than closing bracket. This has to be added manually on every copy/paste to editor.

  15. Font Missing from Library Asset: Infinite Loop

    I tried to place an asset from Materials Library. A dialogue warns of a missing font, but I cannot recover from this as it infinitely appears with no option to cancel the attempt to place the asset.

    There really needs to be a way to recover from errors / faults, UX 101, had to use Program Manager to kill processes.

  16. Not Saving work, freezing and deleting progress

    I am taking a class and saved my project to the cloud to work on in the next class. The following day, I opened my file, and it froze. I had to close Illustrator and reopen it. When I did, my file was no longer in my cloud, or saved anywhere else. It literally deleted my file and I have to redo my project before I can attend my next class. Thankfully the class is recorded so I can take it at a later time. I hope this does not happen again. I know this has been happening to others…

  18. Same keyboard shortcut (Alt + C) for two different options in the Place dialog box

    In the Place dialog box two different options (Open Cloud Document and Replace) have the same shortcut — 'C' key. In both cases the 'C' letter in the option titles is underlined. See attached screenshot.

  19. Paste operation does not properly ignore the null termination character of ANSI string

    During a paste operation to the art board, the final null termination character of the clipboard is not ignored, but rendered as part of the string used to compse the text object.

    I'm attaching an image of the clipboard contents, and I made a video to show the behavior. Under Windows, simply copy the value from the color dialog box and then click the desktop and paste.

  20. Symbol transformation "Reset" button sometimes greyed out

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    I have several instances of a Symbol on my Artboard, and each has been transformed.

    Some of these instances displays the "Reset" button when I select them, some others don't, and I have no choice but to use the Symbol panel. Why??!?
