Can’t overwrite values in size fields of the New Document dialog
When creating a new document, you cannot click into width or height box and select as one and overwrite - previously you could do this.

Files with extra-long file names aren’t saved on Windows, without a warning
If the file name is too long for Windows 10, no error message is generated but the file is not saved.
Interestingly, the thumbnail on the Home page for AI shows the final version of the artwork, but clicking on it opens the last one actually saved instead. I didn't know what had happened and closed/reopened AI to get AI to open the correct file, then saw the file did not actually exist.
I was able to recover my work because the last 3 tmp files were not removed, so I renamed the extensions to "ai" and got my work…

Bug when Alt/Option-dragging multiple points with Direct Select
In Illustrator version 24.3, I'm getting a bug with Alt/Option-dragging multiple points using the Direct Selection tool. See screen recording attached.
Opt+dragging one point gives expected results.
Opt+dragging 2 or more points copies the entire object.

Colors in entire file are suddenly completely wrong (when not in pixel preview mode)
I just encountered this bug on macOS 10.14 with Illustrator 2021. After pasting a PNG into my document, the colors of everything suddenly look very different and washed out.
I can "fix" this by using Pixel Preview mode OR "View using CPU", but that slows down my workflow. I even tried opening an earlier version before I pasted the PNG, and the colors are still completely wrong! Can anyone help?

Illustrator 25 extremely slow
Illustrator 25 (the past several versions; currently running 25.2.3 on two separate Macs) on Mac OS (Big Sur) has been running extremely slowly for me. I've reinstalled the app, reset prefs, removed plugins, removed fonts, etc., unticked "GPU performance," ensured that dictation is disabled at the OS level, and Illustrator is still giving me the beach ball of death for things like selecting items in the menu with a dead-simple file.
I have downloaded Affinity Designer, but it's not making my socks go up and down — twenty years of Illustrator muscle memory makes it hard to switch. I'm not clear…

Normal "Save" operation in recording Actions becomes a "Save as" operation
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 2004, Illustrator version 25
When you create a new action and use "Save" it becomes a "Save As" where it displays a path.
My scenario: I often have to re-save a batch-exported pdf again with normal "Save" so that all text is converted to paths for a print house via custom shortcut F12.
Because during batching there is no option do convert the text.
So I need a second run with recorded actions:- select all
- convert all text to path (outlines)
- save
- close
The normal save operation is required so this can work with any file…

Transform > Mirror does not work properly
Illustrator Version 25.0.1 german (Funktion SPIEGELN)
Sometimes if i use many time the mirroring function this mistake comes
An object is mirrored, (Funktion SPIEGELN in german) axis VERTICAL.
The object is copied, mirrored again and he remembers the last setting and is mirrored again on the VERTICAL axis.
Then suddenly in between he suggests the ANGLE axis.
This problem happens after using many times this function mirror, and not evray time very strange.
I never saw anything like this in the old versions.
I work with Illustrator all day and something like that is for me noticeable.

ドロップシャドウを適用したオブジェクトをグレースケールに変換するとシャドウ部分がマスクされてしまう
macOS10.15.6 Illustrator ver.25.2.3
再現手順:
1.長方形を作成し塗りを設定し、「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」を適用する。
2.1のオブジェクトを選択した状態で「編集→カラーの編集→グレースケールに変換」を適用する。
3.オブジェクトの下に適用されているドロップシャドウ部分がオリジナルの長方形をドロップシャドウパネルの「X軸オフセット・Y軸オフセット」分移動した状態の図形にてマスクされる。
4.「分割・拡張」を適用してアピアランスを分割するとマスクされた状態でビットマップに落とされる。期待する結果:
シャドウをクリッピングせずにカラーの変更のみ行う。実際の結果:
シャドウがクリッピングされてしまう。以前に報告されていた投稿がありましたが、一部に挙動の誤認があるため、新たにバグ登録を行いました。

Communicating with Adobe
Hi Adobe people,
I have a question about the communication with users. Under what circumstances does it make sense at all to post a comment/bug/idea/etc. in this place. Do users get heard? Is there a limit of votes above which ideas are actually implemented? How are decisions about what is fixed and what not made?
I am asking because I have so many points collected over the years that I am planning to post. But this is kind of a lot of work on the side of regular work day that I want to make sure it is worth the…

Not enough memory
Working on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 with Illustrator 25.3.1
I have a simple shape like half of a circle which has a standard color filling plus a "inner Glow" effect. When I want to transform the object like scaling, it tells me there is not enough memory. When I hide the effect and redo the steps it will let me transform the object. Thanks for taking care.2 votes -
Intel HD Graphics 4600 unsupported video driver
We've updated to the latest available driver from Intel for this integrated graphics card on our laptop.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30196/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-15-40
However, Illustrator still warns of incompatibilities every time we launch it. We've set our discrete NVIDIA graphics card as the preferred GPU, and it's listed in the Edit > Preferences > Performance > GPU Details. However, Illustrator still appears to be trying to verify the Intel drivers. There's not an option to disable the onboard graphics chip in our BIOS (MSI laptop). We tried disabling the onboard graphics in Windows Device Manager, but that didn't appear to make any difference. We saw…

Textframe bugs out, and won't change color. Had to make new text boxes
Found a bug where a specific text box will NOT ovewrite the color of the text. I tried deleting paragraph styles, making new paragraph styles with different color, character styles and eyedropper tool. I can change weight, italics etc but the color would NOT change, despite the changes appearing in the appearance panels and other areas. Fixed by making new text boxes and moving the copy to those, but an annoying bug for sure.

Incorrect file extension when exporting to *.png
Hello! When I try to export an illustration to *.png, the file generated ends up with a *.dwg extension. If I rename the *.dwg-file to *.png and open it it's still a valid *.png file.
The export is done using File->Export->Export As... Select *.png as file type, type a filename (with no dot in it), press Export. Select Resolution 150ppi, press ok. A *.dwg file is now created at the selected path
1 voteThere seem to be a fix implemented, and this behaviour is presumably gone.
If you ever encounter anything like this again — please comment back.

Smooth Blend option doesn’t add enough steps
On the Mac OS, when blending between two shapes using the smooth blend tool, 7/10 times the blend will not be smooth but have one step between the shapes. I can instead create lots of steps as a work-around, but the designated tool does not work. If the shapes are separated far enough, more (but few) steps will appear.
In the images below, you will see an attempted blend between a dark green gradient square, and a light green square. I am using the smooth blend tool.
