  2. Illustrator will not let me align my art manually

    I am working a normal piece(s) of art. I did one exactly like this yesterday on the same artboards, different client. I am unable to manually align the art to the artboard or the bleed guides as shown first image. I decided to shutdown Illustrator and the PC and then start them again. When opened I tried to move the art again and it still will not let me align the art. I disposed of the art on the artboard. Opened the clients art, copied it and pasted it in my layers to the artboard. Again I tried to manually…

  4. Crash on "Missing Font" screen

    Illustrator app will become unresponsive or non-functional at all, when there's a missing font window. and the missing font window is just blank, without anything. The only option is to go to my Windows task manager and close it by forcing quitting. This is latest version of Illustrator x86 app for Windows 10.

  5. Paths Previewing Very Oddly

    Paths with a stroke color and no fill are still filling random corners within the shape. I've rebuilt the shape, and checked for redundant nodes, but neither has fixed the problem. To make is worse, this is happening to to connection points at random (sometimes it has a fill, sometimes it doesn't). Definitely a bug, and a very major one.

    Also, copying the artwork into a new document, or even into InDesign, does not fix it. Placing the artwork in InDesign actually makes the preview glitch out. It's as if Adobe gave CC 2018 a lobotomy!

  6. Suddendly I can't drag anything at all! Only after restarting windows!

    This bug is killing me, suddendly when working with several files open I can't drag anything and I hear the windows sound every time I try to. Reseting *********** doesn't solve anything at all, only after restarting windows which forces me to close all my apps and work LOL.

  10. KERNING ON EXTENDED SELECTIONS...

    My kerning worked just fine about an hour ago, but now every time I try to add a custom kerning value it gives me the warning: Kerning on extended selections can only be set to Auto or 0.

    I can't seem to get this to go away.
    I uninstalled & reinstalled Illustrator and it is still happening.
    I tried many fonts of different types, and it still won't work.

  11. Fonts issue

    Illustrator often hangs on large documents. The same document outlined opens fast with no issues. There is something going on with fonts in 23.0.1 - Photoshop also has problems with fonts. I'm on a Windows 10 Pro.

  14. Glyph rendering bug with bitmap OT-SVG fonts

    Glyphs that consist of a single-colored bitmap image are not rendered in text frames nor in the Glyphs panel.

    When we start using them within a text frame, they also break the rendering of all subsequent characters (they disappear).

    To reproduce, enter the character "m" in the attached AI file.

  15. Batch exporting ai>psd does not work in latest Illustrator update.

    Batch exporting does not work in latest update. The images appear to process, and as each image is processed, there is a message that a photoshop file is being created. However, the end result files are the same ai files that I began with. Using Mac OS 10.14.

  17. When I export as png, application crashes

    Adobe version: 22.1, OS: Windows 10 (the adobe application is on a virtual desktop for security reasons.)

    From the last 2 weeks, I have not been able to export to png. This was never an issue until recently. I get a prompt for export for multiple screens. I've tried exporting it in multiple dpi (72, 192, and 300). This also crashes. I've tried choosing a single asset and exporting selection. This also results in a crash.

    Please help me find a solution.

    Thanks,
    Lubna.

  18. Pantone + color book will not consistently "sort by name"

    I keep the Pantone+ Solid Coated book open always, but every time I reopen the program it reverts back to "sort by kind" instead of the "sort by name" I keep choosing and is my preference.

  19. Cannot scale item directly after placing...

    When I place either a file or library item by dragging onto the artboard, I cannot scale that item (via double-click on scale tool). It does not apply the transformation. I have to repeat the transformation in order to get it to apply. This does not happen however if I place an item through the file menu. See attached video.
