  1. Cutting a line with Scissors tool then resizing it works wrong

    1: Windows.
    2: 2022 26.5.0.
    3: Cutting a line using the Scissors tool then resizing it using the handles.
    4: Expected to be able to grab the handle at the newly cut end and re-size the line from there accordingly. However as soon as I do this Illustrator reduces the size of the line by approx 50%, often meaning the handle that I have hold of is off the screen. Have to let go of handle, go and find it again and drag the line back to where it originally ended after being cut. Very annoying.

  6. 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. 線幅を変えると矢印から線がはみ出る

    ver26.5(最新)。Windows10使用。

    線幅を変えるとパスの終点の矢印から線がはみ出る。

    例えば、線幅17に対し、終点を30%などにすると矢印から線の端がはみ出てしまう。

    矢印11、12、13、14が該当。
    ならないのもありしたが、全部調べていないので、他の矢印もそうなるかもしれません。

    いただきました内容ですが、Macでも同様の現象が見られます。矢印の整形について、もともとこのような仕様である場合もありますが、確認がとれるまでしばらくお待ちくださいませ。

  9. Slow performance / undesirable switch to CPU preview

    Operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15.7
    Illustrator: 26.5

    When turning on rulers or editing the artboard, Illustrator switches to CPU preview, which is very slow.

    After closing and reopening the file, the gpu preview is active. (If i don't save the file with rulers turned on)

  10. Area Type Options: Align is mislabeled. Should say "vertical", not "horizontal"

    This UI option is mislabeled. It controls the vertical alignment of the text in a frame, not the horizontal alignment.

  12. Repeat object has no indication of selection when bounding box is off

    Repeats is broken right from the start and you are not even planning to improve it... OK, not improve it, but just to make stable, as it was supposed to be.

    Here in the GIF, I have Bounding Box turned on, and it seems it works OK.

    Then I disable bounding box (which is normal for me and a lot of other users). Again — AI allows to turn if OFF, and everything works without it just FINE — except for Repeats and area type text (but this is another tale).

    Now, when I select both objects, the repeat object…

  13. Clipping mask for a layer doesn’t move when dragged in real-time render mode

    If you move art with its layer-level clipping mask, Ai will draw it as if you move the art without the clipping mask. See the GIF attached.

  14. When a mesh object is set as a key for aligning, the edge of it doesn’t look bold

    When you click an object to mark it as a key object for aligning, Ai draws a fat bold edge around it. Works fine, but not for meshes. Need to be fixed.

  15. Layer's options display 'Dim Images' turned on when it's off

    1. Go to Layer Options
    2. Enable 'Template' option
    3. Uncheck 'Dim Images to' option
    4. Hit OK
    5. Go to Layer Options again
    6. 'Dim Images' is on by itself, despite I turned it off in step 3

  16. Illustrator keeps stealing focus when opening documents in background...

    When selecting a lot of files in windows and then opening them in AI, for every document that opens, AI takes the focus away from whatever I am doing in the background. This is very annoying. Please fix.

  17. Unable to set Illustrator 2022 as default app

    When setting the default app for Illustrator files, 2022 version doesn't appear as an option. Files always open in 2021. When using Windows Default Apps setting, Illustrator 2022 doesn't appear as an option. This problem doesn't occur with other 2022 Adobe apps such as InDesign and Photoshop.

  19. Annoying Flickering Cursor when Photoshop is open

    This is still an issue with the latest releases of Illustrator and Photoshop. We shouldn't have to close Photoshop to have the behavior disappear. See my screen capture today attached or on Box.com: https://nic.box.com/s/hemehrwzo9fm0ye3evst9ma41x908ipp
