Slopes of anchor points corrupted after opening PDF file
When I open a PDF in Adobe Illustrator that was created in Adobe Photoshop, the slopes of the anchor points of a shape are corrupted. The interpolation between the anchor points doesn't seem to work properly at some point, see screenshot "Illustrator-Photoshop-Comparison.jpg". As a result, the shape looks deformed and egded, as if drawn with a shaky hand.
I don't know if it's due to the export from Photoshop or the import in Illustrator. The PDF is displayed correctly in Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I open the Photoshop PSD file in Illustrator, the paths are correct.
Does anyone know this…

preview for tif images does not change after embedding
I use Illustrator 2023 27.0 on Mac book pro with macOS Monterey Version 12.5. When placing tif images the preview shows a low resolution image (individual pixels are blurry). This should normally be corrected once the image is embedded. But in the case of tif images this does not work it stays in the preview stage even after embedding. However, when printed it shows the correct image. Therefore there seems to be a bug which does not show the correct state of tif images after embedding. This bug is specific for tif images since it does not show the same…

Regression in version 27.0 - SVG tspan not handled correctly
Hello
When I place the following SVG
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" viewBox="0 0 500 500" width="500" height="500"><text><tspan>60</tspan></text></svg>
And then try to export the object back to SVG, I get
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="36.86" height="39.2" viewBox="0 0 36.86 39.2"/>
The tspan content is gone.
Without the tspan it works ok. It also works fine in AI 26.5
The example is an extract from a larger SVG object created through the Datylon plugin
Seems like an AI regression bug. Any chance it will be fixed in later versions?
Tx!
Peter

Point type alignment trouble
I have an issue with Adobe illustrator, and the online help service didn’t help me at all
Here’s the deal:
When I type in English left to right, I can align the text to the horizontal center of the artboard.
BUT when I write in Hebrew (or Arabic), right to left, using a point type, the text will not align.
If I convert to area type, or if I change orientation of the txt to left to right, the text will align fine.
So the issue happens only when writing in Hebrew or Arabic, In right to left orientation, and…

All elements disappearing the more I edit. They show in layers panel, but not on artboard or in exports.
I'm working from (an up-to-date version of) an Illustrator file with five differently sized artboards. They all are using the same elements and symbols, just arranged different for different layouts. When I click on one of the artboards and select a group to scale down, the elements begin disappearing and have not reappeared.
I exited the group and more elements in the artboard disappeared. Clicking out of the artboard group itself made the entire group disappear. When I click back into the artboard, selecting an element reveals the outlines and bounding boxes, but the artwork itself is not visible. Opacity…

CPU and GPU preview aren't working correctly
This is the difference I have while viewing through CPU or GPU. The correct en smooth view is CPU and the other GPU. I never had this problem before with illustrator until a month ago but then again only with DXF files. Now it also jumped into my regular files.. I can't visualy snap lines to each other because they appear to be off but when viewing with CPU they aren't. How can this problem still be there, I saw messages appearing from 2018 with the same reports... Also attached my mac's specs.
Please let me know how to solve…1 vote -
[Bug] "Print As Bitmap" (unchecked) checkbox is not honored.
When I uncheck "Print as Bitmap", it is not honored at all, in any circumstance:
a) In the Summary, it gaslights me.
a) When I press Done and reopen, it's checked again.
c) When I print, the graphics come out jagged, which tells me it is being processed with Print as Bitmap.I'm on AI Version 27.2, just updated.

Bounding boxes disappeared
Since updating to Version 27.2 all the bounding boxes have disappeared. To resize objects I can only put numbers in the Height and Width text boxes or click and drag individual anchor points with the Direct Selection tool. There is no way to click and drag an entire object to resize it. Late yesterday, even the anchor points disappeared, but closing and reopening Illustrator brought them back.

Color UI won't stop auto filling in shapes with a last used color
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but ever since updating to Illustrator 27.2, the color picker in the color UI (after holding shift + click) won't stop auto filling in selected shapes with the last applied color used to fill in a previous shape. This is very frustrating and significantly bogging down workflows.

Repeated items become invisible when I close and open Illustrator
I made a file in Illustrator with a few shapes that get repeated in a grid, but when I close and open the file again, some shapes become invisible. When I click on them enough so they get in isolation mode, they appear again, but everytime I open the file they are invisible at the start.
I tried to copy and paste these in a different document but that doesn't help.

Version of Adobe Illustrator: 27.1, but when I used 27.0.1 it was also there.1 vote -

Selecting and moving points
When I select a curve that has another element behind, and then try to select a point to move it, most of the time I end up selecting and element behind this point (another curve or layer). So to avoid this I end up locking all element except the one I'm working on it, if I don't end up loosing a lot of time doing this point selection over and over...
My guess is you should establish some virtual lock while this moving operation are happening, or some priority hierarchy...
Another problem is while I move the point I'm pressing…1 voteThe issue got solved by increasing the Tolerance value in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, from 3px to a larger value.
If you want to request it to be device-independent, or self-adjusting, or anything like that — please make it a separate request.

Converting Text to Outlines no longer creates Simple Ungroupable compound path.
When converting text to outlines in Illustrator 27.2, the text becomes transparent, contained within a clipping mask, and ungroupable.
Previously, the text would become a grouped compound path of the same fill color as it was as text. I could easily ungroup it.
I now have to release the clipping mask, release compound path, and use the shape builder tool to fix the letters with holes in them that are now filled in (letters such as R, B, b, O, o, e, etc...

With large UI scaling enabled, New Document dialogue does not properly display input text boxes
Setting UI Scaling preference to large causes the New Document dialogue to incorrectly display text input values due to baseline being too high and clipping off top of characters, making it difficult to edit. This does not appear to affect other dialogues although not all were reviewed.
