  1. PNG import broken

    Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)

  2. Arrow keys used in Color panel don’t force canvas to update in version 27.1.1 (2023)

    Whenever Arrows or Shift+Arrows key are used to quickly increment the value in a field in th Color panel, without GPU (or with Overprint Preview, which is done with CPU), — the color does not get updated on canvas, while in 26.x version it works just fine.
    The CPU canvas now gets updated only when Tab or Enter get pressed. Pressing an arrow key, with or without a modifier, is a finite operation, and should trigger the redraw event too!

  4. All menu item shortcuts are grayed out

    Illustrator 2023, v27.7
    MacOS Ventura 13.2.1
    Wacom intuos pro
    Apple Magic Mouse

    at some point, all the shortcut menu items became grayed out...I can USE the actual shortcuts like CTRL+X and CTRL+V
    i can select the commands in the menu and get them to work...but it's weird... not sure if it is associated with other weird behaviors like not being able to select and move an object?

  5. The layers of my project have disappeared

    The fact is that I was working and when performing an action, all the layers of my workbench were deleted. Neither cntl + Z, nor file recovery, nor the files in data to recover a past version help me.

  7. Illustrator 27 packaging bug

    Mac OS Big Sur 11.7
    Adobe Illustrator 27
    Mac mini M1

    Package command destroys filenames and replaces links with others. That's catastrophic for my job. Please fix it as soon as possible.
    Also, could not upload files for helping you reproduce the issue.

  8. ヒストリー項目が正しく表示されない

    問題の説明:
    MacOS10.15.7　IllustratorCC ver.26.4.1

    オブジェクトは複製されますが、ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」となります。

    再現手順:
    1. ダイレクト選択ツールを選び、アートボード上のオブジェクトを選択
    2. キーボードのリターンキーを押し移動ダイアログを開く
    3. コピーボタンをクリックする
    4. ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」と表示されるがオブジェクトは正常にコピーされる

    実際の結果:
    ヒストリーパネル上で「取り消し」と表示

    期待された結果:
    「コピー」と表示される

    回避方法:
    ありません。

    その他…
    ・編集→カラーを編集
    ・リピートオブジェクトの編集処理
    ・グラデーションツールによる処理
    ・ブレンドツールをダブルクリックしてブレンドオプションダイアログを開き変更を適用する

    これらも「取り消し」と表示されます。

    ツールバー下部、塗と線に下にある塗り、グラーデーション、塗りなしのパッチをドロップして「塗」「線」を設定しようとするとヒストリーパネルでは「取り消し」になります。

    段落パネルの多くの機能（インデント・段落前後あき以外）とOpenTypeパネルは項目が二重に追加されたりします。
    全般的にヒストリーパネルの表示はおかしいです。

  11. Version History Panel not displaying any content (previous versions, bookmarked, etc.)

    Problem:
    Version history panel is not displaying any content for my cloud documents (.aic), such as previous saved states, bookmarked, or even a prompt that it cannot save or no states exist. This is happening for all my existing AND new files. This only started happening on the latest illustrator update.

    My setup:
    Macbook Pro M1, OS Ventura 13.3.1
    Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1

    What I've tried to do:
    - Restart Creative Cloud and Macbook
    - Create and save a new .aic file

  12. There's a problem creating a NEW link to share the document after the initial link has been created.

    If you open an exiting document that has been shared with a link, resave the file with a new name, make changes, then try to create a new link, you will get an error.

  13. A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong

    Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
    When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.

    1. Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
    2. Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
    3. Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
    4. Select…

  15. Window and panels moving when Mac goes to sleep

    There is an issue with Adobe apps while using Mac M1 with an external monitor. When put in sleep, the windows and palettes move to the bottom half of the screen.

    There are comments on this thread that confirm

    this is an issue with specifically Adobe apps(illustrator, photoshop and indesign at least):

    please, Adobe support, address this issue.

  16. Placing Linked PDF file with "Show Import Options > Crop to:", placement doesn't obey the option selected

    On the latest update to Illustrator (early July 2023), when placing a PDF with "Show Import Options", no matter which option is picked (Art, Crop, Trim, Bleed, Media), it always places to the crop/artboard, even though there is bleed set and larger media/artwork beyond the artboard in the PDF.

  17. export

    hi all,
    when i dragNdrop a vector group in the window "export files", illustrator add big space at the top and at the right of the vector group. On hard drive, i obtain a big picture with a lot of space.
    After several tests, the window "export for files" exports correctly artboards but no files !!??
    I use in this picture, deform texte with a vector behind.
    i install the last version of illustrator.
    i work on OSX Monterey.
    bye

  19. Pantone colors are printing blank when printing from Illustrator using Photoshop DSC.EPS

    While trying to print artwork with spot colors from Adobe Illustrator the color in the 2nd channel will always print blank regardless of what print device or setting that is used. I have included the DSC EPS files as well as the AI files and the subsequent print of the file as a pdf. Whichever pantone color is placed in location 2 of the channels in Photoshop will print blank. This is a bug that has popped up since Pantone pulled it's colors from Adobe and the Pantone colors automatically are changed to black.
