  1. Cannot save data to cloud after folder creation

    MacbookPro M1 /Ventura13.0
    Illustrator 27.5

    Reproduction procedure
    1. Create a new folder when saving data to the cloud (in this case, the folder name is "素材" in Japanese)
    2. I tried to save the file to the cloud as is, but it was not saved. I tried several times, but could not save the file.
    3. It was possible to save the file locally. After saving locally, it was also possible to save the file to the cloud in the "素材" folder.

    It would be great if the folder could be created and then saved as is.

    以下、同文を日本語で。
    再現手順
    1.クラウドにデータを保存する際、新しいフォルダを作成する（ここではフォルダ名を日本語で「素材」としました）…

  2. When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty

    If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.

    Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.

    So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

    Illustrator converts a hyphen at the start of the line to a bulleted list, unless the 'Automatic Bulleted and Numbered lists while typing' option (enabled by default) is not turned off.

    These converted markers can’t be selected, unless you convert the text back with the dedicated button in the Paragraph menu.


    But be warned though, that sometimes disabling the auto-conversion does not work, and hyphen and other characters still force Illustrator to create a list.

    If it does happen to you — please vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/45928900

  6. Keyboard shortcuts not working with KLIM keyboard on ASUS laptop

    I have just installed a new (external) on my ASUS laptop and now all of the keyboard shortcuts that require three keys to be held, such as send to back, are not working. They work on the laptop keyboard.

    Shortcuts work in all other programs (such as word and online)

    I have updated all drivers, updated CC and also reinstalled the program. I have checked sticky keys are on and filter keys off. I don't know what else to do - it is severely impacting workflow.

    Merhaba,
    Hem bu versiyon (beta), hem de en son yayınladığınız versiyonda;
    - Otomatik belge kaydetme özelliği düzgün çalışmıyor. Çalışmaya başladığında programı kesinlikle kilitliyor. Otomatik kaydetme özelliğini kapattığım zaman programı kullanabiliyorum

  9. Too many brushes saved in Print.ai (Print.ai = 300 MB) disable Trim View, despite 32 GB RAM

    Trim View still worked in a new doc based on my Print.ai, until I opened the brushes tab, then it got disabled.

  10. Drop shadows rendering differently after updating from 25.0 to 25.4.4

    This is causing a lot of headaches in our department. The drop shadow appears to have gotten smaller after updating to 25.4.4, even though the values are the same. This edit is destructive and cannot be resolved by reverting to 25.0 and resaving. Attached is screenshot showing drop shadow changes. (AI file is larger than 50 MB.)

  12. Eraser and smooth tools are not working

    The eraser and smooth tools are not working. When I select eraser, either nothing happens or it draws a black line where I try to erase.
    Nothing happens with the smooth tool. Also, there is no shortcut for the smooth tools.

  13. Modalità contorno

    ho problemi con la modalità contorno. Quando la attivo, Illustrator mi mostra sempre l'anteprima (sia con CPU che con GPU) anche se la modalitrà controno risulta effettivamente attiva. Ho controllato anche le impostazioni del documento su "imposta documento", ma la voce "mostra immagini con metodo contorno" è comunque disattiva. Inoltre quando risulta attiva, anche se non lo è veramente, non riesco a muovermi all'interno del documento e praticamente si "fissa" finchè non attivo nuovamente la modalità anteprima.

  15. Certain colors generate #000000 HEX values in Color Picker dialog

    Bug in 2023 (v 27.1.1) Illustrator. Certain colors, when examined with the Color Picker, shows HSB rightness of 0, RGB all 0, and Hex code of #000000. See GIF.

    This is a pretty severe bug with other downstream consequence. Dragging these "broken" colors into swatches, for example, generates pattern swatches instead of process color swatches.

    1. MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (M1 pro)
    2. 2023 (v 27.1.1)
    3. examining colors by double-clicking the Fill color square
    4. expected: always have valid HSB/RGB/hex returned. Bug: some colors give incorrect values.
    5. See screenshot & video at https://vimeo.com/786775139

  16. Numeric keypad not functioning properly in AI v27

    When trying to type in numeric values in the swatches, it will change as you type the default back to "zero". I've gone back and forth between v26 and v27 and it appears to be working fine in 26. It is pretty much anywhere you have to type in numeric values.

    MacOS Monterey v12.6.1

    iMac (Retina 5K, 27in - 2020)
    3.8GHz 8-core intel Core i7
    128 GB 2667 MHz DDR4

  17. リピート機能を適用したオブジェクトに再配色が効かない

    リピート機能（ミラー、ラジアル、グリッドのいずれも）を適用すると再配色で色を変更するできなくなります。
    ダブルクリックなどして編集モードにすればできますが、他のオブジェクトと同時にできなければあまり意味がありません。

    通常の状態で再配色でカラーが管理できるようにしてください。

  19. Clipping compound shape doesn't have edges drawn

    When a compound shape (not a compound path, but a live result of any Pathfinder operation) is used as a clipping mask, Illustrator does not display edges for the resulting objects.

    1. View > Hide Bounding Box (for clarity, to see the issue better)
    2. Draw anything
    3. Create two intersecting rectangles
    4. Select these two rectangles, hold Alt and click Unite in Pathfinder panel to get a live compound shape
    5. Select both the compound shape and the art below
    6. Object > Clipping Mask > Make

    The resulting object has no edges drawn and can’t be seen as selected, until you enable the bounding…
