Layers’ colors get messed up when moving objects in and out of sublayers
When moving an artwork onto another layer the indicator-color changes as expected. 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

Mouse button abnormally released/pressed
OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1
GPU: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 1536MB
Ai version: Adobe Illustrator 2024 28.4.1Hi,
we are developers of an app with hotkey customizer running in background.
The app works fine most of the time,
while confronting some difficulties on interacting with Ai.The basic idea of the app is registrating key event observer to the system,
then either intercepting the customized hotkey or leaving others to system for further transmission.However, after we register the listener,
Ai seems sometimes skip the mouse-releasing event of a click,
and then hanged in a "dragging" state until another click.…2 votes -

Exporting a batch of artboards as SVG results in wrong files
I'm exporting multiple artboards as SVG using ⌘⌥E command and while artboard names are correct and the window previews are also fine I realized the exported files are wrong. The names are right but the content is not matching with the corresponding artboard. I'm on Illustrator 28.5 and the file has 28 artboards

Variable Fonts with a Width axis don’t work in Illustrator unless the "space" glyph changes width
Operating system:
macOS Sonoma 14.1.1 (23B81)The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
Adobe Illustrator 2024 (28.2)The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
I created a variable font with a width axis. The font works well in environments like web browsers, but the variable axis slider has no effect in Illustrator. This also affects variable fonts with a Width axis and other axes – none of the shaping changes of any axes are rendered in Illustrator.After some debugging and experimentation, I finally learned that the "space" glyph must change in its character width, and only then…

Allow to delete custom Scales in Dimension Tool Options
I made a mistake defining a custom scale and now I can’t delete it. It stays there and reminds me of my mistake and messes up with my choice when I need to pick a proper one.
How can I delete it without reinstalling the whole app of purging some settings in some file, buried deep in the extensive bowels Illustrator has?
Then — I don’t need some of the default scales it has. How can I hide these, to go to my defined scales faster?

Character line height has to be entered twice before it changes
If I ever want to manually enter a specific line height for text, the first time I type it in and hit "enter" it automatically reverts back to auto (or whatever it was previously). I have to open the character panel again and do it a second time for it to actually change. This has been the case for awhile and makes no sense!

Direct selection tool doesn't work 90% of the time
90% of the time when I use the direct selection tool (and I'm sure I am using the rght tool because the curser turns white as it should when this tool is selected) I can't manipulate anchors and instead am dragging the entire shape.

Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode does not work for objects with both an effect and opacity mask added
If an object has an opacity mask, Illustrator renders it correctly when the object is moved, the mask moves together with the object.
But if you apply an effect to this object, Illustrator will keep the mask in place while the object is moved, as if it has the mask unlinked.
On the other hand, if you unlink the mask for the object without the effect and try to move it — Illustrator will render it wrong again, as if the mask is linked, until you release the object.
Please see the GIF attached and try the file yourself.

Random extra lines generated along with results in 3D & Materials tool in vector mode.
I am working on a logo for a client - generating metallic text elements for part of it. The tool works quite well, but I'm having an issue where I cannot get it to stop drawing seemingly random vector lines around the generated element.
It seems to be persistent across EVERY setting. Bevel or inflate, raytracing or not, any quality, any DPI, any color space, reduce noise or not, it is independent of material - IDK what else to try. They are not selectable, I cannot do anything with these extra lines!
It does go away when you turn vector…

Effect > Path> Outline Stroke only works if applied to an entire object, not to a stroke
Sometimes when I am making a complex Appearance stack I want to start with a basic stroke, outline it, and do more stuff to it, but I cannot, because this only applies to the entire object. Please fix this. It's annoying.

Copying an element (regardless of what it is) will cause one of the artboards to change it's name.
There doesn't seem to be an logic to which artboard gets changed. In one file with 30+ artboards the it was somewhere in the middle.

Pathfinder & Shape Builder: glitch when joining curvy shapes
I'm trying to join two round shapes and I'm always getting unexpected shape glitches in the result path. I tried making this new shape using pathfinder and shape builder, but the results are the same.
Sending before/after screenshots attached in outline view.
Version 28.1 (2024)
Please help!
2 votesThis is regulated by the size of the art processes and the precision value (measured in absolute values) one can edit in Pathfinder Options.
Although vector paths stay continuous no matter how deep you zoom in, they are still stored on a canvas with rather finite coordinates, and all calculations are still very finite.

Retype does not work at all in Czech version of Illustrator CC 2024 (28.0)
The Retype function does not work at all on Windows 10. All attempts end with the message Selection not recognized. It doesn't matter if it's a vector, a bitmap. It doesn't recognize anything. Not even Hello in Helvetica.
On MacOS 13.4.1 the app displays possible similar fonts but you can’t select them, download them, nothing. Dead end.Nice work, Adobe!
