  2. Select Next Object commands in the right-click (context) menu are broken when in Isolation Mode

    Illustrator provides two ways to access Next Object commands:
    1. From Select menu
    2. From the context menu, Select submenu

    However, they work differently.

    If you use #1 commands, they behave as expected — Ai properly selects the objects at the current scope level (if we are isolated), by stack order in Layers.

    But if you use #2 commands when isolated...
    These commands, despite having the same names as the command from the top bar menu entries, rely on the object being clicked. But even knowing that (and it’s not an obvious thing to figure out), the result is weird.…

  3. Illustrator exports SVG with font set to ArialMT

    When we export artwork from Illustrator with text formatted with the Arial font, the SVG code has the font set to ArialMT (the old Postscript name). This generally isn't a problem unless the image is displayed on a system that does not have the ArialMT font installed.

    Short of changing the SVG code, is there anyway of preventing Illustrator from using the old Postscript name for the Arial font.

    It seems to be same with artwork created on MacOS and Windows.

    Inkscape does not have this problem.

  4. Disparition du texte curviligne lors de l'enregistrement d'un PDF et lors de la réouverture du fichier Illustrator 27.8.1

    Microsoft Windows 11 (x64 bits), Illustrator 27.8.1

    Les textes curvilignes créés à partir de cercles et stockés dans une couche de texte disparaissent lors de l'export en pdf. Ils sont toujours présents dans l'arborescence des couches qui elles-mêmes sont en statut « visibles » mais les textes en question ne sont plus visibles dans la vue en plan.

    Le texte réapparaît lorsque l'on clique sur l'emplacement du texte curviligne pour l'éditer, le texte se rafraichit et réapparaît.

  5. Export for Screens does not remember color model format settings for JPG 100, JPG 80, etc.

    When Illustrator is closed, it forgets the color model that was chosen for exporting JPEGs with Export for Screens.

    For reference of how this setting is accessed:
    File > Export > Export for Screens
    Then in the Formats area, click the gear icon.
    In the column, select any of the JPG formats (JPG 100, JPG 80, et cetera).
    Then there is a drop-down labeled "Color Model" that allows you to choose between CMYK, RGB, and grayscale.

    If you select RGB then click "Save Settings" it will remember the setting while Illustrator is open. But when you close Illustrator, and open…

  6. Hyphenation ignores pre-hyphenated words

    Many languages have pre-hyphenated words (like 'pre-hyphenated').

    When I setup Hyphenation with Before and After values, I expect Illustrator to apply these to each part of a hyphenated word, not to the whole complex word itself, like Ai does in the picture (where the arrow is pointing). Instead, it should prefer the existing hyphen to break a line at, not just one symbol away from it. This forces users to use 'no break' often (which is hard to call) and generally spend more time on editing.

    Here is a text example.
    Not
    pre-h
    yphenated
    but
    pre-
    hyphenated

    ...and obviously it…

  7. Exporting layered PSDs = Error 2393

    Illustrator 27.8.1 64-bit
    OS: Windows 10

    Exporting AI to layered PSD fails, regardless of DPI or whether artboard exporting is enabled. Flattened PSD export still works. This process ultimately locks up and completely crashes Illustrator.

    Steps: File -> Export -> Export as...

    Attempting the process with a third party export script also locks up Illustrator.

    切り取りしたもの自体がなくなります(クリップボードに取れていない?)
    貼り付けがスカされます。

    切り取りしているので、コピーし忘れではない。
    このデータがおかしいのか、アップデートのせいなのか

  9. Highlighting text leads to disappearing artboards

    This tends to only happen when I have minimized the screen to be half of my desktop size. Whenever I highlight text in Illustrator the artboard disappears and it only comes back when I've selected the selection tool and click in the work space.

  10. Application Memory Spiking

    MacBook Pro, Apple M2 Pro, 16GB, macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)
    Illustrator V 28.3

    Product is crashing and RAM usage is sky-rocketing to 300GB+, have to wait for the system to recover before making further actions in program.
    Periodically occurs when 3D objects are populating the artboard but unclear whether this is linked or not.

  11. Stroke Inside is unchangeable on a compound shape

    If you make a compound shape from two paths with strokes set to Inside, then this is retained for the compound shape and shown in the Appearance panel, but it's not reflected in the Stroke panel and it can't be changed there.

  14. Toolbar menus display only two rows at a time

    I'm using Illustrator 28.0 on Windows 11 Professional, Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. Since the latest update, the toolbar menus show only two rows with the option to scroll up/down to see the other items (two at a time), which is very inconvenient. I've closed and restarted Illustrator, but no change to the interface.

  16. Window keeps resizing

    The window keeps resizing. I use Spectacle (a simple window resize tool that works with every other program). It's very handy to have shortcuts to move windows around like PCs do, but Mac doesn't support by default.

    Now when I do certain actions, the window shrinks back down to less than full size. It's very annoying and never used to happen. Please fix!

  17. Text is uneditable.

    I have large text files in my illustrator artboards and when I try to edit the copy, it only allows me to select a singular letter rather than being able to simply click the text and edit it.

  20. Can't change the color of a gradient stop to an existing swatch

    Most infuriating Gradient Swatch forever bug. This bug has been persistent through the past several updates and I don't understand why Adobe is ignoring such an infuriating bug that should not be that hard to correct. Click on the gradient stop and select a swatch from the popup swatches palette and no effect.
