PLEASE FIX SCREEN FLICKERING!!!!
The screen flickers when you move the cursor—it's driving me insane!
Switching from GPU to CPU solves the issue but then I lose animated zoom, which sucks!MacStudio M2 Max

Adobe Illustrator 27.8.1 creates a pdf where the colour space of the custom profile is incorrect
Hello,
I came back from holiday today and a colleague at work told me that she can't create PDF files from Adobe Illustrator with the output intent that it saves but reports a colour space error when opened in Adobe Acrobat. First I deleted all the presets but the error remained. I also tried creating a PDF file with other profiles (created by us) and the error was there for all of them. But if I used the default profiles from Adobe (e.g. Iso Coated v2), the PDF file can be opened correctly. Finally I downgraded Illustrator to version 27.7…14 votes -
The windows I last opened are forgotten every boot up. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open windows)
The windows I last opened are forgotten every bootup. Only the project window opens by default. (Switching Workspaces doesn't open the windows it normally opens either. The windows that were opened do not change when switching Workspaces.) I have to open each window manually every bootup.

Dash offset defined by a negative strokeDashOffset value is not respected when a stroke is outlined
Illustrator has a strokeDashOffset property that sets the indentation of the first stroke in the dashed line.
It works when specified through the script, but there is no similar field in the interface of dashed line settings, i.e. it looks like a hidden functionality. It’s still legal and it works, but at the same time, a dashed line created with this parameter cannot be outlined correctly using standard Illustrator tools when the value is negative.
It's a cursed property: it's a pity to ignore it, and it's a shame to use it because of its unreliability.
Please fix the bug…

Opacity for list objects (bulleted or numbered) lost after closing a file
When you reduce the opacity of a text object that contains a list - either just a list or a list plus "normal" text, that opacity gets deleted once you have saved the file. It's not even saved into the PDF part of the file.
If you apply the opacity at the Character level or if you create an additional fill for the text object and then apply reduced opacity, it works.Version 28.3

Unable to place image files of any kind into Art Illustrator
Illustrator v 28.4.1

These are all existing files that I have used many times. I tried EPS, JPG, and PNG. It will not allow any new images. In addition, the image files in my existing files are now broken.

Crash when clicking on options in … (More Options) popup in the Properties panel
This one exist for at least a year: when object is selected and Properties panel docked to the right, click on the … (More Options) button in the Transform section. Then it either crashes immediately or when some option is modified (like "Scale Strokes and Effects").
I remember I reported that while ago, but got no reply and obviously no attention from support team.

Real-Time Drawing and Editing mode does not work for objects with both an effect and opacity mask added
If an object has an opacity mask, Illustrator renders it correctly when the object is moved, the mask moves together with the object.
But if you apply an effect to this object, Illustrator will keep the mask in place while the object is moved, as if it has the mask unlinked.
On the other hand, if you unlink the mask for the object without the effect and try to move it — Illustrator will render it wrong again, as if the mask is linked, until you release the object.
Please see the GIF attached and try the file yourself.
15 votesIn the latest general build it works as expected, the opacity mask moves together with the object. Please check if it behaves for you as well.

Clip groups snap to grid by their clipped contents and not the mask
Snap to Grid option doesn't work properly for Clipping Masks.
Instead of snapping the boundaries of the Clipping Mask to the grid, Illustrator snaps to the grid the bounding box of the masked object hidden under the mask.13 votesWith recent changes made into the Snap to Grid, Ai no longer uses bounds of the clipped content for snapping, but uses the clipping object’s bounds instead.

Thin space and hair space have wrong widths, compared to InDesign
In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1ptIn Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.…

文字パネルで合成フォントを選択すると、テキストの操作ができなくなる
文字パネルで合成フォントを選択する操作を行うと、
・テキスト自体が表示されなくなる
・表示されていても他のフォントに変更できなくなる
・文字化けのような状態になることもある
・このバグが発生しているテキストオブジェクトをコピーすると「オブジェクトをコピーできません。メモリが足りません。ID:-108」というエラーが発生する
・まれにバグが発生しないこともあり、再現性や規則性は不明
などの不具合が発生します。いずれにせよ、この不具合が起きるとテキストツールでの操作やドキュメントの保存が一切できなくなってしまいます。
合成フォントではない通常のフォントを使用していても、まれに「同じ名前の合成フォント「○○」が既に存在します。」というエラーが発生し、その後Illustratorはフリーズします。Illustrator 28.5, 28.4.1, 27.9.4でこのバグを確認しています。
OSバージョンはWindows 11 Pro 10.0.22631 ビルド 22631です。・環境設定の削除やアプリケーションの再インストール
・グラフィックドライバの更新
・PCの再起動
・SFCやDISMなどのOS修復
・FNTCACHE.DATの削除
などの操作も行いましたが解決しませんでした。不具合の様子をキャプチャしたものを添付しております。
解決策をご存じの方はいらっしゃいますでしょうか。よろしくお願いいたします。

Confusing repeated profile mismatch warning
When drag and drop is used to place an image into an Illustrator document that has a color profile that is different than the image, Illustrator will link the image and will not warn for the profile difference, even if the profile mismatch warning is checked in the Color Settings.
Using the Place command it will give you a warning about the Profile mismatch.
When the document is saved and opened, Illustrator will start to warn for an Embedded Profile Mismatch and say that the document has an embedded profile that does not match the current RGB Working Space.

New document screen doesn't close upon creating new document, locking me out of program
The following issue has popped up a couple times now: I'll be working in Illustrator (Windows 10) and want to create another new document. I'll navigate to File>New and be faced with the New Document popup. I'll select my desired parameters and hit "create," and the document will be created behind the popup -- but the popup won't close, and I can no longer click the main Illustrator window to work behind it. I've had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del every time this happens; there's no opportunity to save work. (This has only ever happened when I've had Illustrator already open, never…

Flickering when zooming with animation after update to Illustrator 2024 28.3
I was trying to fix the insane lag in the previous version, even though I had all the drivers updated(I have MSI RTX 3080 and Ryzen Threadripper 3960X with 64 GB of RAM so it's not a performance issue).
After updating the lag got worse and when I zoomed in with the GPU enhancing features which is zoom with animation. The canvas was flickering when using the zoom shortcut CTRL+SPACEBAR. I then opened a fresh document and noticed this problem wouldn't occur. So the issue is the fact I had the view grid on on my other document.

Renaming a color group in Recolor makes a duplicate group
When I rename a swatch group on Color Guide interface, it automatically duplicates the color group even though no alteration took place to the included color swatches themselves. I don't want that! I just simply need a way to rename each color group just like each swatch.
The only workaround of this bug is to rename a group without duplication is to select all the in-group swatches and make another group under a new name. Then, delete the emptied previous group. What an ungraceful user experience...4 votes
