  3. Broken CSS Style Elements in SVG Save and Export

    I have been exploring why our company users are seeing full black artboards or random black fill objects in SVG files produced in the Save As\SVG process, as well as exporting SVG using API developer tools. I know there have already been issues with non-alpha-numeric characters (what I will call “irregular characters”), but the issue we are seeing relates to periods (.) specifically.

    When files are saved/exported using Style Elements to drive the CSS, if those style names contain a period, ie: "BLACK STROKE .25pt", the Save As SVG export process allows the CSS class label to contain a period.…

  5. Text stroke disappears

    Illustrator 28.6 on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2

    I'm not sure whether it's an Illustrator or Photoshop problem.

    I have text with white strokes in the background, but when I open the .ai in Photoshop (300dpi) , the white outlines have all disappeared.

    They don't appear in the Art View (preview) of the .ai either. Nor if I open the file with Preview or Adobe Acrobat. That's why I'm thinking it's an Illustrator issue. Zooming in with Acrobat actually makes it crash…

    I have attached screenshots of my Illustrator artboard (you can see the white strokes), of the JPG I generated…

  6. Strokes on text area, fill disappear

    Not sure if this work as intended, but it seems a bug to me and it does not allow using text areas elements. and strokes.

    I need to apply a silhouette stroke to a whole group of elements.
    I add a stroke, and I move it as the last effect in the aspect panel. This work for every group of elements, symbols and etc. Expect with groups containing text areas with filled background. In this case infact the stroke is removing the color fill from the text area.

  7. The small Generative AI marketing window won't close.

    When starting work this morning, a small marketing window popped up inviting me to try Generative AI. I click on the little X in the upper corner but it wouldn't close without restarting Illustrator. These marketing windows are interfering with production and are useless, please stop using them.

  10. Align / Distribute ignores Constrain Angle

    The Align and Distribute options do not take into account the Constrain Angle setting when the Constrain Angle is not equal to zero. In simpler terms, the Constrain Angle for Align and Distribute is always set to zero.

  11. Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option

    Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.

    However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.

    So now this dialog is broken the other way.

    What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we…

  13. Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1

    Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.

    Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.

    The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.

  17. Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot

    I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.

    I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.

    I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.

    Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.

  19. Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export

    I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:

    • Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
    • Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
    • Create a new layer, Layer 2
    • Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")
    • Select Layer 1 and Layer 2 in the…

  20. Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping

    When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.

    Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).
