  2. Bug. Opening a file only opens the file window. Workspace missing (all other info windows)

    Double clicking on my file (when illustrator isn't loaded) opens just the file window. All tools and other windows don't open. I have to manually open a workspace or the individual windows I need. Does anyone else get this?

  3. Zooming on macOS 13.2.1 (22D68) and Illustrator 27.3.1 (and previous version) is h-e-l-l

    When zooming in with my Apple Trackpad (external but also with the build in one) zoom is not smooth and lags. MacBook Pro M1 Max. My colleague didn't experience this while being on the latest Illustrator version, until they updated to the latest macOS version (from 12 to 13, Intel MacBook Pro). So my assumption there is a compatibility issue over there with macOS. The experience while zooming with GPU is normally smooth, but now it is worse then zooming in CPU mode. Changing, rebooting and reinstalling didn't work.

  4. Selecting multiple links with cmd+click in Illustrator with Wacom Pen is broken.

    I'm using a iMac Retina 5k 2020 with a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    I've noticed that after one of Illustrator's Update, I was not able to select multiple links (cmd+click each link) in the Link Tab with my pen, but when I was using a mouse, there wasn't any problem.

    I was going to blame Wacom, I've had issues with their updates before, but I've reverted to Illustrator 26.0 and it was working perfectly fine. I've updated older versions 1 by 1 to see when it started bugging and it looks like version 26.4 is the culprit and it kept on…

  5. On Opening, Illustrator can't read linked files and adds multiple copies of linked images

    On some files, on open, I receive an error regarding linked images and when trying to resolve, Illustrator adds multiple copies of the same linked image without actually fixing the original images. It'll add linked images into locked layers where there were no images.

    This started in version 26.4.1 and have tested with uninstalling newer versions, opening the same files on older versions, and installing newer versions until the issue appears.

    Screenshots attached where it shows it adding in linked images, even on layers that were locked and had no images on save.

  7. Translation error (German) 2

    There is a translation error in the German version of Illustrator 27.1.1 on Mac OS 10.15.7. The English word "Level" was translated to "Tonwertkorrektur" instead of "Textebenen" in the dialogue for bullet points.

  8. Illustrator after 5 mins starts loading continuously

    Once opening my cloud file after 5 mins the cursor starts loading & doesn't stop. Making it impossible to save. The only way to stop the issue is to force quit on Mac & reopen, then it'll repeat after 5 mins again

    パス上文字ツールで作成した円弧上の文字をアウトラインかけると勝手に回転、変形がかかります。

    Illustrator 製品版フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。


    ご報告いただいた「合成フォントが使用されているパス上文字をアウトライン化した際に、一部の文字が正しくアウトライン化されない現象」の再現を確認いたしました。

    こちらの問題は曲線パス上の文字の角度によって、再現の有無があるようです。

    また、ノーマルフォントの場合は再現しませんが、単一フォントのみで作成された合成フォントでは再現することが確認できました。


    今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

  12. 線幅プロファイルが付加されたパスに対するブレンドを指定すると表示に時間がかかる。

    Illustrator 26.3.1
    OS macOS10.15.7(Intel)/Windows10

    問題の説明:
    線幅プロファイルが指定されたパス同士をブレンドした場合、再描画に相当な負荷がかかります。アクティビティモニターで確認するとCPU負荷が90％を超え、その状態が数秒続きます。その間Illustrator上ではレインボーカーソルが回り続けます。
    なお、ver.25.4.1ではこの様な表示パフォーマンスの問題はありませんでした。

    再現手順:
    1.直線をペンツールで２つ作成し、それぞれに線幅プロファイルを指定する。
    2.そのパスに対してブレンドを指定しステップ数255とする。
    3.意図通りの表示となるが、描画完了までに数秒かかりレインボーカーソルで待たされる。

    実際の結果:
    微調整の為にアンカーポイントを移動したり線の設定などを変更するたびに数秒待たされる。

    期待された結果:
    プロファイルを付加したパス同士のブレンドに対するパスポイントの調整でも以前のバージョンのようにスムーズに編集できる。

    回避方法:
    パフォーマンスの問題のようですから、再描画が完了するまで待つか以前のバージョン（2021）を利用するしか無いようです。

  13. Properties panel is almost empty, elements are invisible

    Some icons are invisible and I can't see them at all unless in rare cases where i see them when I hover my mouse over them.

  14. Illustrator 27.3.1 Freaking Lagging on Apple silicon (M1 Max)

    Hi, I updated AI to 27.3.1 today

    But it made a serious Issue
    Especially when I edit an object inside group objects

    Attached Video:

    1. You can see I "double click" my group object (a hand) at 00:00:01
      But it opened this group after 5 second (OMG)

    2. Same as the other actions, each time you see my mouse kept moved around because Illustrator LAGGING around 3-5 sec

    It is super annoying because I can't work!

    1. After that, I re-install old version which under 27.3.1, same Issue with it (before I updated 27.3.1 , worked fine!)

    Laptop: MacOS 13.2.1（for now）
    Apple Sillicon…

  15. auto scrolling artboard

    2019 IMac 27
    3 ghz 6-core i5
    radeon pro 570x 4 gb graphics
    40 gb 2667 mhz ddr4 ram
    Out of nowhere my artboard began scrolling to the right by itself. When the mouse is off the artboard, it stops. I've tried restarting, saving to a new location, restoring to default, and removing and reinstalling the app. All to no avail.

  16. When checking spelling, Illustrator does not move to the selected area of the page making it harder to see the "error" in context.

    Have the viewable are move to the offending spelling like it does with InDesign.

  17. Animated zoom not working in latest version 27.2 for Mac

    Animated zoom is not working on Macbook Pro (Intel). I have checked the "Animated zoom" option under GPU in Performance. Restarted the app too.

    I tried it on another Macbook Pro (M1) and it just doesn't work.

  18. File saving on network issue.

    Using current Illustrator v27..3.1 and files on our Windows network are saving as temp files rather than existing AI files.
    This is a major problem, as if operator is not opening the folder window, they will not see the temp files if they go via FILE>OPEN. Opening the existing file opens up the previous version and all amends are lost!

  19. Recent files not showing on home screen...only recent cloud documents

    My home screen only shows previous cloud documents. I work off of a network and do not use the cloud. This is on my work computer and my home computer after the update to 27.0. I do not need to see my recent cloud documents...just the ones on my computer and network.

  20. Wrong resolution calculation on pasting an image copied from Photoshop

    Windows only it seems like.
    1. Create a document in Photoshop, 100×100px, 72ppi
    2. Copy the contents
    3. Create a web/mobile-based document in Illustrator
    4. Paste the copied image

    Illustrator pastes 99.9875×99.9875px image.

    It turns out Photoshop uses pixels-per-meter (biXPelsPerMeter and biYPelsPerMeter) to define the resolution.
    72ppi is exactly 2834.6472 pixels per meter.
    Unfortunately, the value must be an integer (thanks to BITMAPINFOHEADER), so the convention is to use 2835 (which is 0x0B13 in hexadecimal).

    But Illustrator is going by the letter of the law (not the spirit) and converting 2835 to 72.009 pixels per inch.

    2835 / 2834.6472 ×…
