Size issue importing from Illustrator to After Effects
When exporting from a large size canvas Illustrator file and importing into After Effects there is a bug. It imports all of the elements at 10% of the correct size so they appear tiny in After Effects.

Slanted instances are not properly sorted
When a variable font has ***** axis and right leaning instances (common oblique styles) the Oblique instances gets sorted before the Romans on the font menu dropdown. See attachment.
According to the OT spec, right leaning instances must use negative values, so I‘m guessing Adobe’s font menu is sorting instances by slnt coordinates in ascending direction when it should be in the other direction.
This is not only bad and uncommon for users but is also pushing font developers to make fonts against the spec just to circunvent this situation. Plase fix.
Note. All the fonts tested have proper STAT…

Cut/Copy/Paste shortcuts
This is pestering me for more than a month now. Whenever i need to cut or copy objects/vectors, It just won't paste. I had to undo stuff before trying again and again and again and againnnnnnnnnn just to work!! Its not on my hardware i suppose since copy paste outside illustrator is just fine. This bug in illustrator is such a headache that it decreases my efficiency in work by 50%!!!! And im so worried that if Adobe still refuse to fix this bug, I might break my keyboard with all this endless tries of ctrl C and V! And…

Flickering colors and images when moving mouse while in GPU mode
The screen flickers when you move the cursor (it sucks!).
When you switch to CPU it stops, but you lose the animated zoom which is a nice feature.

Using a # in layer name and saving as SVG does not properly save layer names
In the newest Adobe Illustrator version 28.4.1 when naming a layer with the # and saving as an SVG the export file when opened does not include the # in the layer name. This has never been an issue in previous illustrator versions, and for the work I do I rely on that naming convention to work with the system we integrate SVGs with. I've had to downgrade to a previous version where this does not occur.

All Text is not visible and Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large issue.
I opened a project I was working on last week this morning and encountered this issue. All my text is not visible and I cannot move any text boxes without an error message coming up stating: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large. I tried all the other solutions listed that could be found on Google and this forum. It happens for every project I open. I attached images of what I see and the error message.

Not Working: Select objects completely inside the marquee
Today’s 28.3 release (non-beta) touts the “Select objects completely inside the marquee” feature. Unfortunately, it’s not working here in macOS 14.3.1 (23D60).
Whether the E key is used or not, all objects are selected even in the case of an object not being fully enclosed in the selection area. And unfortunately, using the E key switches the current tool to the Free Transform tool, away from the Direct Selection tool which is counterproductive :(
1 voteEnclosed mode is the first mode in Ai to use a single tap of a button instead of holding one. 'E' key should be pressed once you start dragging the marquee, during drag operation.

Blend in CMYK color mode and GPU preview = MOIRE
In CMYK mode the blend option looks really terrible with GPU preview. With these settings the Blend hets a jaggy moire effect.
Tested in different color modes with CPU and GPU preview. Only CMYK on GPU produces this nasty screen effect, see screenshots. I work mostyl in CMYK mode so I hope this can be fixed rapidly.
macOS 14.1.1 / Adobe Illustator 2024 v28.0
I'm sure this bug affects Illustrator v27.x too.

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.8 votes -
Selection Tool Stops Functioning
The selection tool stops functioning when Illustrator has been open for a while. It will work as expected and then it will stop functioning, either not allowing me to select an object or group at all, or it will allow the select but then nothing happens when you try to click on a corner of an object to either move it or resize it. Opening and closing the file does no good. I have to close Illustrator and re-open it and the tool will start functioning again. It seems like a memory issue.

The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in
The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in Chinese, making it very difficult to distinguish.
The red part does not follow the operating system font, and the blue part correctly follows the operating system font. In Chinese Windows, the default font of the operating system is "Microsoft Yahei"

Please check it and reply back if it’s still broken.

Illustrator Freezes when trying to scroll fonts
When text is highlighted, and I go to change the font and use the scroll bar on the right to scroll down, the program freezes indefinitely.
No custom fonts installed.
2021 Macbook Pro M1 running Sonoma MacOs 14.3.1 (23D60). No other applications open.
I used the MacOs Screenshot App to record the bug in action. However - when recording my screen, the bug does NOT happen. I tested this multiple times. Talk about the observer effect...
In order to capture the bug, I used my phone to record. I tested this multiple times. I'm attaching both videos below.

Name artboard is not added to the file name when exporting (jpg or png, etc.)
When executing the command "File - Export file as" and exporting, for example, to jpg, the name artboard 3 "preview" is not automatically added to the file name. Everything was fine in the previous version (26.3.1) of Illustrator.

Filled area text boxes do not export to SVG (v. 28.4.1)
In the current 28.4.1 version, our files do not export to SVG correctly. You can easily reproduce this by creating any area text box and apply a fill to the box. The text will export, but not the filled box. We use this for all our our org charts and other graphics where we want the text to be easily centered in the boxes as the boxes get resized and moved.
