  1. Error in Startup Script - Line 2798: { No matching closing brace found

    I am getting an error on launch of Illustrator, seems to have begun with the latest update.


    Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/photoshop_v2025.jsx
    Line 2798: {

    No matching closing brace found

    The error can be dismissed and the application runs fine after that.

    Note that this is an error reffering to a startup script named "Adobe Photoshop", but the error comes up when launching Illustrator. Interestingly, there is no error when launching Photoshop.

    This is a new bug

  2. スリープさせるとレインボーカーソル化

    MacBookPro OS 13.6.4
    Illustrator 29.3.1

    Illustratorを起動したまま、画面を(物理的に)閉じると、次画面を開いた時にIllustratorがレインボーカーソルのまま動かなくなります。毎回強制終了して再度起動しています。
    ブラウザなどの他のアプリケーションはレインボーカーソル化しません。

    Illustratorを28にしていた頃は起こらなかったです。

  5. Launching Ai without the application frame places the document window behind the tool panel

    When I startup Illustrator without the application frame it often misplaces my document so it's tucked behind the tools panel — sometime it is where it is supposed to be.

  14. dxcore.dll not found

    Illustrator won't open due to "dxcore.dll not found".
    I have been on forums and many people have posted about this.
    Seems to be an issue with the latest update as the posts are quite recent.
    Temporarily fixed by reinstall of Illustrator. As yet, have found no permanent solution.

  15. Illustrator keep crashing

    I use Illustrator v 28.4.1. It keeps crashing every single time i open the app. I keep uninstalling and re-downloading Illustrator, at its latest version and also previous versions (i tried v 27.9.3, it won't open either). I don't know how to make it work anymore.

    I work on a HP spectre 360x convertible.

  16. Illustrator 2024 resets most Preferences on restart

    The issue with Preferences not saving is back. I have this problem with the 20243 version. How hard is it to fix this? It's SUPER annoying to have to change all of my preferences on a program I use daily.

    EVERY time I restart illustrator, I loose all preferences except hot keys (thank god). I lose unchecking the real time drawing (because that's annoying), I lose units, I lose like most of what I set up. It's awful.

  19. Illustrator reopens after quitting

    I'm on macOS 14.2.1 and Illustrator 28.1.

    When I quit illustrator it automatically reopens immediately. Workaround: close the app via the dock (secondary click > quit).

    I uninstalled Illustrator and reinstalled it, but the problem persists.
