Artboard names change back to what it was after renaming
Working on a document with multiple artboards. After renaming several dartboards, their naming returns back to what it was before I renamed them.
I need the artboards to have specific names for exporting to SVG. So this is really frustrating.9 votes -
Text shifts when moving text frames which use Every-line Composer
As per this thread at forums:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/every-line-composer-bug-text-shifts-when-moving-text-frame/m-p/13992952Ai will recalculate justification each time a text frame with Every-line Paragraph Composer is nudged, either with arrow keys or dragging.
Although it’s clearly just moving, and should not trigger recalculation, Ai does it (I can think only of one case when it should happen — when objects with Text Wrap enabled are present and intersecting the the moved object — and they aren’t and don’t).
The text wobbles a bit and it's slow, to recalculate this every time.
Why does it happen? InDesign does not do this.2 votes -
Copying tables from InDesign and only the text pastes in Illustrator
Hello, I used to be able to copy a table I created in InDesign and copy and paste it into Illustrator with all of the formatting being the same. Now when I go to paste a table, all of the table formatting is missing and it's just a big block of text. Please fix this soon as my company does this on a day-to-day basis for our images. I attached an image of what it looks like when I paste the table in Illustrator.
13 votesIllustrator team is working on a fix for this issue. Meanwhile you can use the below workaround to paste the table as it was before.
Before you copy the table in InDesign, create a path object along with table and then copy from InDesign and Paste in Illustrator. This forces the PDF route for copy/paste between ID and AI

Illustrator 27.6.1 randomly freezing...
This is happenng to a few of the machines in my office. AI will randomly stop responding. The window will grey out and the only way to resolve is to force quit (I've given it an hour once to see if it resolved itself, but no).

スタティックシンボル化した画像にドロップシャドウが反映されない
詳細：
「オブジェクト」メニューからのラスタライズや
リンクの埋め込みなどで画像となったオブジェクトをシンボル（スタティック）登録し、
効果「ドロップシャドウ」をかけたところ、見た目に反映されず無視されました。
同じスタイライズメニュー内の「光彩」も同様の結果です。しかし、もう１つドロップシャドウを重ねると、今度は２つ重ねた結果が表示されました。
目玉マークでどちらの効果を消しても、１つだけだと無視されます。
「ドロップシャドウ」「光彩」の混在も、合わせて２つだと重ねがけの結果が現れます。
同じスタイライズメニュー内の「ぼかし」は１つでも反映され、本件に関わらない挙動でした。暫定的な回避策：
＊画像化したシンボルに対して「効果」メニュー内から擬似的な「ラスタライズ」をかける
＊シンボルの種類を「ダイナミック」に変える
＊シンボル化（リンク）を解除スタティックシンボル化した画像に限定されるアピアランス結果が現れることはもちろん
そもそも１つ目の効果が無視されること自体が問題です。
また、すでにIllustratorフォーラムで識者の皆さまにご意見を伺いましたところ
自分以外の環境下でも同様の結果が再現できております。（下記リンク参照）
従って、本件の内容がバグや不具合にあたるものとしてご報告させていただきます。同じ現象を再現確認した環境は以下のとおりです。

Shapes drawn with the pencil tool are always created with the basic fill appearance, even if "new art has basic appearance" is not checked.
- Create a new Illustrator document.
- In the Appearance panel, deselect "New art has basic appearance", if it's selected.
- Select the pencil tool and use it to draw a curved line.
- Set the stroke of the line to 10 point and the color to red.
- Set the fill to black.
- Draw another line with the pencil tool. The stroke is 10 point red, but the fill reverts to none.
- Repeat with the pen tool. This time, the fill stays black when a second line is drawn.
This problem was not present in earlier versions of Illustrator.
System: Adobe Illustrator 27.6.1, M2…
1 voteThis is due the 'Fill new pencil strokes' option in the Pencil Tool Options dialog — it forces the new paths drawn with the pencil to drop their fills, even though the New Art Has Basic Appearance option may suggest both will be preserved.

I can't scale objects, neither with basic arrow tool, it feels like this one is the same of the white arrow.
I can't scale objects, neither with basic arrow tool. It feels like it's the same of the white arrow. I tried changing area's work, illustrator version, but nothing happens. It just doesn't work, shift + click doesn't scale any object, nothing happens when i click on the angle, it only shows me the anchor points just like the white arrow...

[ExtendScript] Line feed \u000A character assigned to text contents is converted to carriage return
MacOS 13.3.1, Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1
Also reported on Windows same version of Illustrator.Steps to reproduce.
To see problem, run this script
```
(function () {var doc = app.documents.add(); var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf1.position = [100, 100]; tf1.contents = 'Break\u000Ame.'; alert('Linefeed (10)\n charCode = ' + tf1.contents.charCodeAt(5)); var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf2.position = [200, 100]; tf2.contents = 'Break\u0003me.'; alert('End-of-text (3)\n charCode = ' + tf2.contents.charCodeAt(5));})();
```
I would expect the text on the left to have a line feed (u+000A) character, but it is converted to a carriage return (u+000D).
The text on the right is a workaround,…4 votes -
Illustrator is crashing all day long, for no reason
Illustrator is crashing straight away, it just crashes and closes, sometimes recovering the file worked on at the time and sometimes not, and for no apparent reason to me. It doesn't crash with a specific file, it has crashed with several. I stopped counting after crashing 20 times in one day. I use a Creative Cloud account where I alternate using it between a Windows computer (at work) and at home on an iMac (home-office) and it only crashes on Windows. There is no conflict to report in System Compatibility Report in the Help menu. When it crashes and closes,…

"Selection" automatically jumping to "move" when clicking on an object and move action isn't retained
Adobe Illustrator Version: 27.7
Operating System: Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1Regardless of the file I'm working in, when I use my selection tool to select an object, upon moving my cursor the object starts moving like I'm clicking and dragging it (this is after tapping once on the object and letting go on the track pad). Then, when I move the object and click on the trackpad again, the object moves back to its original position and Illustrator makes an error alert noise.
I have uninstalled Illustrator a few times, downloaded older versions from CC, and restarted my machine numerous…

Export svg doesn't work if symbol stainer used on a symbol
I have noticed that an svg export adds a character in the svg code on a symbol in which the symbol stainer was used. When I break the link to the symbol, the svg exports as expected. I have been able to repeat this error.

Alt/Opt clicking into the spectrum bar in Color panel now changes both fill and stroke on release
When I hold Alt/Opt and drag the cursor over the spectrum bar, I am able to change the color of the inactive attribute — in this case stroke, since fill is activated. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the fill gets changed to the picked color too! This was not the case in the the previous version.

Save Each Artboard to a Separate File waits until end to save all files at once.
When using the option to save each artboard to a separate file, illustrator keeps all the saved files as TMP files and doesn't finalize them until all artboards have already been exported to the TMP file. This isn't an issue for small files with a few artboards but causes delays with larger files / number of artboards because the AI files are all saved out at once at the very end of the process.
It would be more efficient for some workflows if the AI files were finalized along the way so that they can be further processed by others…

place individual PSD layers into ILLUSTRATOR as LINKED files like Indesign
Placing individual psd layers in Illustrator is a joke compared to Indesign.
When trying to place a linked and layered psd file in Illustrator you get NO 'options' (even when 'options' is selected in the dialogue box when placing/importing.)
You have to have 'link' turned off in the dialogue box in order to see the 'options' and even then the psd layers just come in as embedded shapes WHICH AREN'T linked but embedded instead. When you then unembed/link them, NEW .psd files are then created instead of linking back to the original .psd files.
The Adobe online instructions mention that…

Repeat gizmo (number of repetitions) is invisible when zoomed out
There’s something a bit inconvenient with the repeat tools: when they are small, you need to zoom in to be able to see the repeat gizmos.
So, for 5 mins, I was trying to find a way to modify the number of repetitions without knowing I had to zoom closer. I realized that it would be handy to have them in the repeat panel instead of only relying to gizmos.1 vote -

Dashed lines not working
I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and using AI Version 27.5.
I am trying to add dashed lines to a line segment which has the colour R165 G25 B130, they are also on the same sub-layer. I select the setting to add it but it does not visually appear dashed.
However, it does work on another similar line of a different colour.
I also cannot change the colour of the first line as well.
The video attached shows the issue.
How can I fix this issue?
