  1. Mirroring elements takes line thickness or pasted inside elements into account which makes little sense

    When mirroring lines via the effect tool at their outmost left or right side (see last screenshot), the effects takes the line thickness into account. I cannot think of any cases where this is of any use. I would expect a behaviour as shown in the second screenshot.

    Same thing with elements that are pasted inside. The effect mirrors from the pasted inside object instead of the box into which the object is passted. Why? Is there one single case where this makes sense? I could not hink of any. Again the diesired behaviour is shwon in the second screenshot.

  4. Some freeform gradients change when selected with one or more other objects

    The problem always seems to affect the same objects and certain color groups. I've attached two pictures: the first shows the gradient I created, the second shows how the gradient changed the instant I selected it with another object.

    Please view this thread, as it includes a complete description of the problem and several photos:

  5. Cannot place a bitmap TIFF into Illustrator (24.3 or 25.2)

    MacOS Catalina 10.15.4
    AI 24.3, 25.2

    I am unable to place any bitmap TIFF into the two latest versions of Illustrator. I tried two different versions of the file at two different dimensions and file-sizes.

    I get the dialogue: "Illustrator could not read the file [Filename]. Try replacing this with another valid link.

    I have never had this issue before. I tried a workaround wherein I open the TIFF directly in AI, and then copy/paste to my target file. However, the file is embedded and for large format work, this is not an acceptable workflow.

    Please help. TIA

  6. Video driver is not supported

    Windows 10
    Illustrator v 25.2
    Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, Version 20.19.15.5171 (04.11.2020)
    What can I do? I have updated the driver, but the report is still there. Do I get instability and data loss if I suppress this report or deactivate some features in the preferences?

  7. Illustrator stürzt nach Umschalten auf "Pfadansicht" ab.

    Windows 10 - Illustrator 25.3.1

    Ein Dokument in welchem ein 1px Raster mit 4 Unterteilungen angelegt wurde, bringt nach umschalten auf die Pfadansicht das Programm zum abstürzen.
    Wenn ich den Raster ausblende, funktioniert Illustrator einwandfrei.

  8. Live corners are stretching

    The corners are supposed to be live, but yet they stretch/distort when transforming. Objects with round corners should retain their radii, or I should have the option/keyboard modifier to change this behavior. The radio button in the transform palette is not working.

    The options should be scale, distort, or retain current value.

  10. Tool Tip for the "Get familiar with illustrator..." button doesn't go away

    Unable to close this tool tip.
    No text is showing and it doesn't go away.
    I've uninstalled/reinstalled.
    This happens for 25.23.0 and 25.23.1 - which I've tried.

    Changing the view to Presentation View and escaping out of it moves the box to the bottom right.

  11. Links panel expands uselessly to the right

    Make the addresses in the links panel wrap inside the width of the panel as set by the user. As it is, if the address is long we lose site of the tools (relink, go to, edit, etc) of the right side of the screen and have to drag the panel back into view. Please......

  12. Issue with Adobe Libraries color swatches not the same in each file for Illustrator/InDesign

    There is an issue with Adobe Libraries color swatches when added to illustrator or Indesign files are not the same in each file for Illustrator/InDesign.
    I made a master Brand color palette for the Marketing team to use for all.
    The issue is that when I add the a color swatch from the Master Color Swatch Library it changes the RGB numbers in the local illustrator or InDesign file.
    Other team members have experienced the same issue.
    The goal is to create one brand color swatch library that multiple departments and teams within each department can use. The design team…

  13. Placed strokes don't save scale once embeded

    If you place an AI file with strokes, scale the placement and then embed the link the strokes go back to their original size before the scale. The strokes view the correct size until you embed it.

    Scale strokes & effect is checked in the scale window and in the prefs. Any other setting/pref that can fix that? or is this just a bug?

  15. カラー設定が勝手に変更される

    カラー設定が勝手に変更されます。オリジナルに設定したカラープロファイルを常に使用しているのですが、こちらが何もしていないのに「Adobe Illustration 5.5をエミュレート」に勝手に変更されます。以前のヴァージョンではこのようなことはなかったので、改善していただきたいです。

    こちらのカラー設定の不具合は、Photoshop を最新バージョン「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートすることで修正されます。
    お手数ですが、Photoshop を「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートをお願いします。
    それでも問題が解決しない場合は、Bridge の設定をリセットしてください。

  16. Coloured Fonts: Copied text unintentionally becomes path objects

    In AI 25.3.1 (macOS 10.14.6), when I copy a text written in a coloured font in the same document or in another document, then immediately or after a few copy-paste actions the editable text unintentionally becomes a path object. Example with the coloured font "Gilbert" attached.

  17. Simplify Curve not able to remove anchor points on straight lines

    Ik think the algorithm needs a rework, since it is not able not detect all anchor points on straight lines.

  18. "Neu Färben" erscheint nicht in dem "Eigenschaften Menu"

    Windows 10

    Man nimmt ein Objekt und schneidet aus diesem Objekt ein anderes Objekt. Wenn dieser Ergebnis ausgewählt wird erscheint "Neu Färben nicht". Aber wenn ich ein einfaches Objekt nehme(Kreis, Dreieck, Rechteck). Dann erscheint "Neu Färben" in den Eigenschaften Menü. Ich denke "Neu Färben" muss immer erscheinen und es ist egal welche Objekte ausgewählt werden.

    Sie haben viele Werkzeugen, aber die alle halbwegs funktionieren. Und darüber ärgere mich immer wieder :(

  19. 勝手にファイルが保存されてしまう

    Adobe Illustrator 2020の一部のaiデータで保存する前にファイルと閉じようとすると、勝手に保存されてしまいます。環境設定の自動保存はすべてチェックを入れて外して適用したのですが変わりません。
    ファイルはクラウドドキュメントではなく、NASに配置しているファイルです。

    しかも発生するときは何度か再起動すると発生しなくなりますので、バグではないかと考えています。

  20. 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.
