Deleting segment of path for 'Type on path' and than undoing it gives wrong result
I have type on path.
I delete one segment of the path, and text is now overflowing.
I undo deletion, path got restored, but text does not — it is still trimmed, and I have to NOTICE this and drag end marker back.
'Undo' must restore previous state fully.10 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.3.1 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

iMac 5k 2017 w/ Radeon Pro 580 - Illustrator very slow on GPU preview
Illustrator version 22.01
macOS 10.12.6
iMac 5k 2017 w/ i5 3,8Ghz - 16Gb RAM - 2TB Fusion - Radeon Pro 580
All the file (also a very little file) is slow on movement, on move object and run with shot and NOT fluid. Slow on select object or shape or everything on file.
The same file opened on a "slow and old" MacMini with the same configuration and the same macOS is not slow and the movement is very fluid.
Switching to CPU cause the same things, everything is very slow. Also switching to Print Preview is slow.Thanks for…

Color Mixer Bugs + Feature Request
I use the color mixer (color wheel) daily. I have come across an annoying bug, as well as a couple features missing:
Bug: Some base colors will be automatically 'locked' in the color mixer, indicated by a '-'. For example, let's say I'm trying to turn white into red.
- First, white needs to be unlocked. By clicking the '-', it will become an arrow '->', and the swatch should be toggle-able now.
- The first time you toggle the white, it selects, sliders can be moved to make it red, but it doesn't stay adjusted; it reverts back to…2 votes -

some graphics missing when exporting artboard using "export as"
Hello, I am experiencing strange results during artboard export - after export to bitmap file, there is often some part of graphics missing. Latest example is this - the 1pt stroke, visible in editor, is not present on exported image. Simillar result achieved in numerous different cases, ussually some shapes or contours with white color are missing in exported image. I am includign source files, you will have the background photo link missing, but this can be replaced with any colored box with same result. This is dangerous bug, because you have to control your exports carefully, and is easy…
10 votesThe white outlines in the file have Overprint attribute set. White + overprint result in empty objects, please remove overprint attribute from the white objects and try export again.

Transparency lost in Image Trace
Transparency of .png images is lost if using the image trace option. So my already transparent picture now has a white background if I use image trace, unless I use sketched art which does not provide the look I want. All the options should be transparent, especially if the original file is already.
20 votesThe latest Beta 28.7.0.45 finally offers transparency support.
Transparent background is no longer traced as white in color presets '3 Colors', '6 Colors', '16 Colors', 'Low Fidelity Photo' and 'High Fidelity Photo'.
Not (yet hopefully) supported for Black & White based presets.
Partial transparency is not supported and will lead to incorrect colors for these regions. Overlapping path method will also result in incorrect object appearance.
Note also this build introduced Logical Grouping of paths in output when expanded — to hopefully allow easier editing,
Please try the build and provide feedback.

Problem with snap / smart guides
Illustrator 22.1, Max OSX High Sierra 10.13.3
The smart guides are always a little off, unless I zoom a lot.
For example, when I want to cut a path at an intersection, with CC2018, the cut is always a little off.
It happens with many other actions: moving anchor points, clicking on a path end point to continue drawing, adjusting tangents... the smart guides show the correct point, but the action snaps to something else.
See the example below, where I'm trying to continue that red line.

Illustrator is not frozen but you can't see anything you're doing to your work
Since the update I have had a lot of issues when creating art. Everything starts smoothly, I can see everything I'm doing in real time and can see which brush strokes I'm creating. A little ways through drawing, I can no longer see my brush strokes. I can click other options in illustrator (i.e. select layers, lock and unlock, hover over options etc.) and do other things in the process but I can't see anything that i'm actually doing to my artwork! I have to restart the program almost every ten minutes and it's driving me absolutely mad. Is there…

"Export as" not working as expected
When I file > export > export as ... e.g. png, using the "use artboards" function the "save as" dialog isn't working properly ...
first it doesn't save the name I typed exactly ... "Version 1.2.png" it somehow uses parts of already existing file names like "Version 1.2_Text.png" which is really weird ...
second if I use parts of the name of a file that already exists like "Text_Version 1.2.png" in the saving process and Text.png already exists it asks me if I want to overwrite that file...

SVG text export failure
Illustrator 22.0.1 cannot export text layer names to SVG, which seriously impairs our SVG processing pipeline. Tested on both Mac and PC.
To reproduce:
• Create a blank document
• Create a new text object with the Type tool
• Give the text object a name in the Layers control panel
• Export to SVG, setting Object IDs to "Layer Names"The resulting SVG code will contain a <text> entity, but without its "id" attribute!

Illustrator File opens to Work/Learn Screen
I have Illustrator CC and after the most recent update, almost every time I open a file in Illustrator after turning on my computer, it opens the file but the Work/Learn screen is still up.
I can see my file's layers in the layers panel in the bottom right corner but the screen doesn't show it. I can click around and it's saying I'm selecting things but I can't get the Work/Learn screen off so I have to restart Illustrator over and over again until I can get it to work.

Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct
How do I deal with the Adobe Illustrator error message "Adobe Illustrator has found an error it can't correct"? It shows up for one Illustrator file but not others. Why does it give me this pop up every time?

Scaling only appearance (without objects) doesn't work
I want to scale appearance of my art only, without changing scale of art itself. The way I'm trying to do it — is to use Scale tool's dialogue with 'Transform objects' unchecked and 'Scale strokes and effects' checked.
AI does nothing.
Strangely, but if I cut and paste this art into new document, AI don't allow to uncheck 'Transform objects' anymore.
I can work around this, scaling art with effects down, and then enlarge only art, without effects, up to desired size, but this is not very nice way to do it.
Photoshop does scaling of effects all right.20 votesHi,

Hide text highlighting on "Hide Edges" (CMD+H)
This was never fixed in CC 2015 - 2017 and the same **** bug is in CC2018.
In ALL previous versions of AI prior to CC2015 (or at least as far back as CS5 when I got Illy), if you selected text with the Text Tool which made the text highlighted, if you then performed the Hide Edges command, the highlight would NOT show... that way you could change the color, Tracking, font size etc of ONLY the SELECTED characters without affecting the others.
The "big deal" here is when you are trying to see the color change take effect…

Key Object Performance Issues
When aligning to a complex key object, the performance is terrible. When I click on a complex object (say, a group of complex paths or illustrations) to set it as the key object, it lags for several seconds after clicking before I can click an alignment tool. The length of the lag depends on how complex the key object is. This behavior never occurred in prior versions of illustrator. Very annoying.

Could not read file because the plug in did not understand this file
Not sure what is happening. I was able to open files before but now I receive a message
15 votesDocument recovery is now built inside Illustrator to recover incomplete/corrupt documents. Illustrator first tries to fix and open the native Illustrator document, if that fails then the PDF part of the document is recovered if it is available. Illustrator shows message to the user if any of the above attempts fails to recover the document.
