  1. accent change fonts

    When we use Variable Concepr Fonts if I write text that contain letters with accents, the style of the typography changes. It's quite annoying.

  2. Dimensions get expanded when moved, with or without related objects

    I can somewhat understand dimension object get expanded when they are moved away from the measured object... although this should not happen.

    But why the dimension objects get expanded when they are moved WITH the measured object? What, Ai can’t distinguish moving form other transformation? What if need to move my artwork to just insert something else — what, this makes all of my dimensions instantly dead?

    Don’t expand dimensions until a user has an clear intention to do it!

  3. Command Z not working for some functions

    Using the keyboard shortcut for Undo does not work for some functions. Reordering layers does not respond to the keyboard shortcut but works via the Edit menu selecting Undo. Same issue with "Show All". Command Z doesn't work but selecting Undo from the Edit menu works.

  4. Home Screen shows incorrect data at start of month

    At the beginning of a month, the Home Screen reports inaccurate "last modified" dates on recently opened documents. For example, on 1st March, a document last opened on 28th February is reported as having been opened "1 month ago" instead of "1 day ago".

  6. Zoom with Alt+wheel is way too sensitive in new v27.3 to the point of being unusable

    This has just started with the new update to v27.3 using the Alt and the scroll wheel now causes intermittent massive jumps in zoom. Updated all my Logitech software. Running latest everything so reverting to 27.2 as this makes Illustrator unusable. How on earth did this get through any sort of testing?

  7. Pie chart problem with small values

    When I create a pie chart that contains small values along large ones, Illustrator will just delete the small ones.

    These numbers are the original (and the smallest value just disappears):

    25
    12
    5
    4
    3
    2
    58
    17
    1832

    If I change the two smallest values to 5 and 4 it will render these slices.

    25
    12
    5
    4
    5
    4
    58
    17
    1832

    I know it's very small but I do need them to be present.

    When needed I can provide screenshots.

  8. 長方形を方向キーで変形すると途中から半端な寸法数値になる

    MacOS12.7.3, Adobe Illustrator28.3
    ドキュメント設定の単位、 環境設定の単位→一般・東アジア言語をミリメートル、環境設定の一般→キー入力を0.1 mmに設定。
    長方形を描画し、shift+方向キーの入力(1入力1mmの移動)で幅や高さを拡大または縮小していくと、4〜8回目くらいから中途半端な数値になります。方向キーのみでも何回めかに中途半端な数値になります。
    ずっと整数で変形したいのに困っています。

  9. The windows I last opened are forgotten every boot up. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open windows)

    The windows I last opened are forgotten every bootup. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open the windows it normally opens either. The windows that were opened do not change when switching Workspaces.) I have to open each window manually every bootup.

  10. Dash offset defined by a negative strokeDashOffset value is not respected when a stroke is outlined

    Illustrator has a strokeDashOffset property that sets the indentation of the first stroke in the dashed line.

    It works when specified through the script, but there is no similar field in the interface of dashed line settings, i.e. it looks like a hidden functionality. It’s still legal and it works, but at the same time, a dashed line created with this parameter cannot be outlined correctly using standard Illustrator tools when the value is negative.

    It's a cursed property: it's a pity to ignore it, and it's a shame to use it because of its unreliability.

    Please fix the bug…

  11. Opacity for list objects (bulleted or numbered) lost after closing a file

    When you reduce the opacity of a text object that contains a list - either just a list or a list plus "normal" text, that opacity gets deleted once you have saved the file. It's not even saved into the PDF part of the file.
    If you apply the opacity at the Character level or if you create an additional fill for the text object and then apply reduced opacity, it works.

    Version 28.3
    MacOS Monterey 12.7.1

  12. Crash when clicking on options in … (More Options) popup in the Properties panel

    This one exist for at least a year: when object is selected and Properties panel docked to the right, click on the … (More Options) button in the Transform section. Then it either crashes immediately or when some option is modified (like "Scale Strokes and Effects").

    I remember I reported that while ago, but got no reply and obviously no attention from support team.

  13. New document screen doesn't close upon creating new document, locking me out of program

    The following issue has popped up a couple times now: I'll be working in Illustrator (Windows 10) and want to create another new document. I'll navigate to File>New and be faced with the New Document popup. I'll select my desired parameters and hit "create," and the document will be created behind the popup -- but the popup won't close, and I can no longer click the main Illustrator window to work behind it. I've had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del every time this happens; there's no opportunity to save work. (This has only ever happened when I've had Illustrator already open, never…

  14. Adobe Illustrator 27.8.1 creates a pdf where the colour space of the custom profile is incorrect

    Hello,
    I came back from holiday today and a colleague at work told me that she can't create PDF files from Adobe Illustrator with the output intent that it saves but reports a colour space error when opened in Adobe Acrobat. First I deleted all the presets but the error remained. I also tried creating a PDF file with other profiles (created by us) and the error was there for all of them. But if I used the default profiles from Adobe (e.g. Iso Coated v2), the PDF file can be opened correctly. Finally I downgraded Illustrator to version 27.7…

  15. Animated Zoom not working properly - Blurry graphics when zooming or panning

    I use animated zoom a lot, usually through the shortcut CMD+Space+Drag Mouse Left/Right.

    I've been getting this bug of Blurry graphics for a couple of days, and it's really annoying. My current workaround is using Tab after image turns blurry, so the graphics "refresh" to its sharp state.

  16. Alt + Shift hotkeys for menu commands in the latest version are broken

    Any keyboard shortcut that uses both Alt and Shift sends Alt only when pressed.

    So if you have a 'Alt + Shift + T' hotkey assigned to something, pressing it will open Type menu instead ('Alt + T').


    Also, a hotkey that uses F-key with a modifier launches an action that is assigned to F-key without modifiers, but not the command.

    I have an action that uses F3 for launch.
    Then I make a new keyboard shortcut for a menu command, assigned to Alt+F3.

    I expect to run the command when I hit Alt+F3.
    Instead, Ai does not launch the…

  18. Paste in front places objects in a wrong position

    Just updated to Illustrator 28.3 on macOS Ventura 13.4 on iMac 19,1.
    Paste in front is fine on current artboard copied from. But paste in front does not land in corresponding location on another target artboard.
    i.e. - copy text or art from artboard A. Paste in front artboard A lands in exact same spot. Paste in front artboard B (same size, but to the right of A) lands at -6.568" @ 139.125° from artboard A location (up and to the left). Artboard C (2nd document) lands up and to the left -19.6735" @ 169.064° of expected location.

  20. レビュー用に共有のページがエラーばかりでほとんど見れない

    タイトルのとおりですが、共有ページへのリンクを開いてもほとんどエラーでページが表示されません。自分だけではなく、会社の同僚もみんな同じ様な状態です。リロードしてもスーパーリロードしても全く関係なくエラーが出続けます。もう通算数百回くらいエラーが出ていますがまるで改善されないため報告に来ました。たまにエラーが出るくらいならまだよいのですが、たまにちゃんとみれる(5回中1回くらいはちゃんと表示されます)というような状態なので早急に改善をお願いできますか。
