  3. 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!

    64GB RAM
    Illustrator version 28.6

  5. Flickering Pasteboard with GPU Preview

    This is an ongoing, intermittent issue with Illustrator on Mac. It predates the M-series chips in my memory. The issue is that when the GPU preview is on the pasteboard starts to flicker (see attached). This is not tied to a specific action or effect in my experience, but happens randomly. Suggestions are to turn off GPU preview (not terribly helpful) or turn it off/on which sometimes works, or restart which sometimes works. Can you PLEASE figure out why this happens (has been happening for years!) and fix it.

  8. Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot

    I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.

    I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.

    I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.

    Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.

  9. Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping

    When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.

    Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).

  11. Center points vanish at a certain level of magnification

    Above a certain level of magnification, the object's center point vanishes, which is an issue if that's what you are trying to zoom-in on.

    This seems mostly to happen in artwork mode.

  12. Canvas is flickering after waking the computer up

    Flickering around the artboard when the type tool is selected. The system had been in sleep mode for about an hour. When I returned, dragging my mouse over the window, the area surrounding the artboard flickered. Every mouse movement made the background flicker. It did not happen if the window was not the foremost window active.

  13. GPUプレビューモードで高解像度２階調の埋め込み画像の表示がおかしくなる。

    macOS13.6.6〜13.6.7
    Illustrator ver.28.5

    再現手順
    1.1200ppi程度のモノクロ2階長画像を用意する。
    2.IllustratorにてGPUプレビューの状態で1.の画像を配置
    3.配置した画像を埋め込むと表示が反転する。

    期待する結果
    埋込前と埋込後で表示がかわらない。

    実際の結果
    埋め込んだビットマップの表示が反転される。

    現状の回避方法
    埋込んだビットマップ画像が存在するドキュメントではCPUプレビューかオーバープリントプレビューで表示を行う。

    これはGPU表示における不具合です。PDF保存などを行うと正常に保存されますが、GPUプレビューが使えない状態というのは作業性が悪くストレスがたまります。

  14. Bitmaps display as vertical lines in GPU Preview in AI 28.5

    Multiple mentions of bitmaps showing as vertical lines. Displays correctly in CPU Preview in 28.5 but is broken in GPU preview. 2023 does not have this problem on the same system.

  15. White random lines get displayed while working with placed images

    Good day. I've stumbled upon a visual bugs in Adobe for quite a time now. I've really thought that the sole reason was my old MacBook and although It got me angry at some point I knew I did not had the best hardware so I was in no situation of asking a bug fix. Now, I'm using the ARM MacBook with M chip, so you can say I'm having somewhat the latest hardware. Still the visual bug appears super often and I'm becoming frustrated about it.

    Basically I Illustrator shows me cut lines and borders, which are not really…

  18. some SBSAR files apply weirdly in illustrator

    when I applied 3d texture to object with some SBSAR file downloaded from substance assets, the texture of object looks matted color.

    both RGB and CMYK the files didn't work well

    but the texture works well in substance painter.
    It seems bug to fix in Illustrator.

  19. ビットマップ系の効果を適用したオブジェクトをコピーする際に低解像度で処理される

    macOS13.6.3/iMac27inch/intel/AMD Radeon5300 4GB
    Illustrator ver.26.5〜

    再現手順
    1.環境設定で「リアルタイムの描画と編集」をオンにする。
    2.任意のオブジェクトを作成し、「効果→スタイライズ→ぼかし」を適用する。
    3.グループ選択ツールで選択しドラッグを開始。ドラッグ中はリアルタイム描画の低解像度表示となる。
    4.ドラッグ中にoptionキーをプレス。そのまま任意の位置までいどうする。
    5.ドラッグを終了すると当該オブジェクトがコピーされる。通常の移動ではドラッグ終了時に適切な解像度でのレンダリングが行われるが、途中からoptionキーをプレスした場合適切なレンダリング結果とならずリアルタイム描画の状態のままとなる。

    期待する結果
    通常の移動時と同様適切な解像度での結果表示となる。

    実際の結果
    移動中の低解像度の表示のままの結果が得られる。

    回避方法。
    「リアルタイムの描画と編集」を外してリアルタイムの描画をさせないか、ドラッグ開始前にoptionキーを押しておく。

    この挙動は最終的に行われる実際の解像度でのレンダリングが行われない事による不具合かと考えられます。この影響は
    スタイライズに含まれる「ぼかし」「ドロップシャドウ」「光彩」や３Dとマテリアル等のビットマップレンダリングが伴う処理で出ます。今回はoptionショートカット利用のコピーという条件ですが、他にも発生条件が存在するようにも思います。
    何にしろ、低品質でデータが保持されると印刷事故に直結します。早急にご対応頂きたいものです。
