I have 3 monitors.
2 are 27" 4K resolution, and the third is a 24" XP-PEN Pen display (2560x1440), which is where Illustrator always starts and runs in full-screen.

Illustrator apparently cannot always figure out how to calculate all its object locations, since the navigation info on the bottom bar on each file open lands UP the screen, when opening an Illustrator document and Illustrator is in Maximized mode.
See first attached screenshot.

If I then click the "Restore" button (upper right in any Windows app window), in effect forcing Illustrator to repaint its entire app area, then suddenly the information is placed correctly. See second screenshot.
On a subsequent "Maximize" to get Illustrator back to occupying the entire Pen-display screen again, the info is suddenly placed correctly.

This only seems to happen 95% of the time, when Illustrator is in Maximized mode when opening a document. If it is in "Restored" mode (as in app window smaller than the screen), then it seems to place it correctly on an open.

Illustrator 26.3.1, Windows 10

Steps to reproduce:
- New document with units set to pixels
- view: 'snap to pixel' and 'pixel preview' turned on.
- Use the rectangle tool to make a new shape, eg. 20 pixels square.
- Set the fill colour to a high contrast colour (eg. dark grey) and turn off the stroke
- zoom the view, move around.

Expected result:
- the rectangle should appear pixel-perfect (sharp) against the pixel grid, with no anti-aliased bluring
- the view should acurately update when I zoom and move around to display pixel perfect artwork

Actual result:
- the rectangle is bordered by a blured anti-aliased semi-transparent edge pixel, and does not appear pixel perfect
- if I re-toggle 'pixel preview' then the pixel-perfect effect comes back, but I shouldn't need to do this.

This has to do with repeating patterns. I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2021, desktop.
Attached is a picture of 2 circles on a background (shield your eyes, it isn't pretty :-)). When I make the pattern - in this case, the circles were drawn with the blob brush - the inside of the 2 circles is empty and we can all see the background. It's a ring. When I pull that pattern out of swatches, however, it will color in that background. In this one, it's black. It changes depending on the pattern and the colors I'm using. And it is not consistent. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it happens to just some motifs in a design and not others.
After countless tries to figure out what it is, it does appear to be that patterns saved to Adobe's Creative Cloud will have this happen, whereas if I save it to my computer, it will not. Thank you for the help!

AI opens normally but when I start a new file things go awry. The home screen image remains "ghosted" over the blank project. Any side panel I open and close will then appear as if it is both open and closed at the same time. If I toggle the visability of the layer then it sort of clears the project screen to an almost normal looking project start (as in it clears the ghosted panels and home screen) but I cannot draw or do anything on the project. I am not experiencing any performance issues as far as lag or slow behavior. AI is snappy and responsive just unusable.

This issue is happening on my laptop running windows 10. I am new to AI and have been having no issues with it on my desktop. This is the first time attempting to use my laptop. This is happening on AI 26.0.3

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
Just recently install the macOS Monterey
Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022

The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.

It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.

I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most stable and familiar. Otherwise, we can only work with errors while waiting for them to be fixed.

I hope it will be taken into the consideration, thanks.

Many times when exporting an image file, Illustrator creates a blurry line near the edge of the image, even if the design extends all the way to the edge. Sometimes an extra pixel is added to the exported file. This is because the artboard is not set to a whole number intersection (XY coordinates having decimals). You can re-align your artboard to a whole number intersection to avoid this, but it can take a very long time to do manually when you work with multiple artboards. A solution would be an option for snapping the artboard to whole XY number intersections. This will ensure perfect pixel exports and you don't have to worry about it anymore. We need a solution to ths. Exports should ALWAYS be pixel perfect even though XY coordinates are not whole. Make it snap or make it pixel perfect anyway.

There is a bug that I have been experiencing for some time with my cloud documents in Adobe Illustrator. Like any other day at work, I'll open up illustrator and go to open one of my cloud files that are accessible on the home screen under 'your files'. However, these files for some reason have become unresponsive to my clicking on them. Double-clicking on them to open results in absolutely nothing happening. I can move the file around to new folders and other functions under the three dots, but I cannot simply open the file by clicking on it. This makes them completely inaccessible and totally makes storing them in the cloud completely useless.

I have had this problem on two different machines so far, and have tried various fixes such as resigning in and reinstalling a fresh version as well as restarting my computer.

Here are the specs for the first computer I experienced these troubles with:
macOS Monterey 12.3.1
2.6 Ghz 6-Core Intel Core i7
16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4GB

Here are the specs for the second:
Windows 10
Intel Core i7 -10750H CPU @ 2.60 GHz
16 GB Ram 2933 MHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super

I should also mention that if I open a new file and try to open up these cloud documents by going through File>Open Recent Files> they will not open either.

Documents won't open through using Adobe Creative Cloud either.

So in conclusion they will not open through the standard home interface or through the open-recent-files- function and I need mega help.

Illustrator 25.4 update broke scripts that try to read XMP data that worked in previous versions of Illustrator. This is the Mac version (have not tried in Windows).

It appears to be getting the error on this line:

ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

Comparing the frameworks in the package contents for 25.3.1 vs 25.4, the AdobeXMPScript framework appears to be missing in 25.4.

Below is an example script to read font data that worked in 25.3, but errors loading the library in 25.4

// load XMP Library

function loadXMPLibrary() {

if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {  

   try {  

       ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');  

   } catch (e) {  

     alert('Unable to load the AdobeXMPScript library!');  

     return false;  

   }  

}

return true;

}

// unload XMP Library

function unloadXMPLibrary() {

if (ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {  

   try {  

       ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript.unload();  

       ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = undefined;  

   } catch (e) {  

     alert('Unable to unload the AdobeXMPScript library!');  

   }  

}

}

// list used fonts

function list_fonts () {

var doc = app.activeDocument;

var fontsInfo = [];  

loadXMPLibrary ();  

fontsInfo.push (getFontsInfo (doc.fullName));  

unloadXMPLibrary ();  

var info = fontsInfo.join ('\n\n');

return info;

}

// search used fonts

function getFontsInfo(file) {

var arr = [],

   xmpFile, 

   oXmp, 

   fontNumber, 

   i, 

   path, 

   fontfamily, 

   fontface, 

   ns = 'http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/t/pg/';  

xmpFile = new XMPFile(file.fsName, XMPConst.UNKNOWN, XMPConst.OPENFORREAD);

oXmp = xmpFile.getXMP();

fontNumber = oXmp.countArrayItems(ns, 'xmpTPg:Fonts');

xmpFile.closeFile(XMPConst.CLOSEUPDATESAFELY);

if (fontNumber) {

   for (i = 1; i <= fontNumber; i++) {  

       path = XMPUtils.composeArrayItemPath(ns, 'xmpTPg:Fonts', i);  

       fontfamily = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFamily');  

       fontface = oXmp.getStructField(ns, path, XMPConst.TYPE_FONT, 'fontFace');

       arr.push([fontfamily+' '+fontface]);
   }  

}

return arr.join(', ');

}

alert ("Fonts used in this document: \n" + list_fonts ());
