  1. Gradient does not show when it is being applied on live text

    Sometimes i feel handicapped while working with gradients.
    It feels like that Illustrator is holding my leg when working with gradients.

    Gradient does not show when it is being applied on live text (not outlined text), making it difficult to see the current gradient direction and placement when mouse is pressed. Gradient shows when mouse is released.

  2. Can't modify brush size neither use basic stroke

    Every time I try to use brush with any size, it makes 1pt strokes. And when I try to use basic brush, it makes other strokes like caligraphic or caracoal.

    I already closed the program and opened it again but doesnt work.

  3. Pen Tool: Close path Changes Handles

    Mac Mojave 10.14.6
    Illustrator 25.4.1

    When drawing with the pen tool, closing paths changes the initial path/handles drawn. This occurs every time the initial point plotted is a "click and drag."

    I tried to upload a screen recording (.mov) but it won't let me.

  6. Imported SVG: y coordinate of coordinate space translation is ignored

    In Illustrator 24.3.2, if I import an SVG file with the instruction
    transform=“translate(x y)”
    the y value reverts to zero when Illustrator displays the artwork.
    This appears to be fixed in version 25.4.1, however I am working with a critical, multi-user workflow, where we are not yet ready to advance to that version...

  7. Illustrator free transform bug.

    When I go to use free transform and I want to resize an object, it switches to rotate instead of resize.

    Compounding this I can be near the object but not close to the transform anchors and it will still register me as click the transform anchor.

    Frustrating as .

  9. PARM error with embedded image

    iMac OS Catalina 10.15.7
    Adobe Illustrator 25.4.1

    I get an PARM error when selecting an embedded image and clicking the "Edición" menu (Edit in spanish).
    After clicking the OK button I can then access all the "Edit" menu options as usual.

    Please fix this annoying behaviour.

    Thanks,
    Guille

  11. Close file when saving as a .PDF

    Close file when saving as a .PDF

    This has been a HUGE problem since you guys changed the way Illustrator handles file saves.
    When you Save As... and save as .pdf the .pdf file remains open and editable. Which if you are in a fast paced environment and forget to close that 'New' file, you are editing a PDF and when you close it out and try to reopen you are now faced with a non-editable Illustrator file (especially if you unselect illustrator compatiblity).

    I have lost DAYS of work doing that one simple task, just so I could email…

  14. crashes opening .ai files

    AI worked fine on Saturday (25 Sep), today the same files crash the program. Update over the weekend? Can AI stop pushing updates that turn the program into a brick? In Alaska, we don't have unlimited bandwidth, we have to pay everytime I am forced to uninstall and redownload/re-install adobe programs for BAD updates. Why do we pay you to be in a constant beta?

  15. Spot Colors in Linked or Embedded Images can be Renamed in Swatches Palette, breaking functionality

    Double clicking a spot swatch in the Swatches Palette allows you to rename the swatch. In past versions, Illustrator would not allow you to rename the spot swatch if it was used in a linked or embedded image. Now the spot swatch can be renamed whether or not it is used in an image. There is no warning that the spot being renamed is in use. After renaming the spot swatch, the Swatches Palette does not show the spot actually used in the image. Changing the color values of the spot swatch before renaming changes the appearance of the image,…

  16. Art will not display, instead art flashes occasionally while alternating with an all-white & all-orange pasteboard.

    MacOS 11.3.1
    MacBook Pro 13 Inch M1 2020
    Illustrator 25.4.1

    Illustrator opens fine. however, once I open a document or create a new one, any interaction with the artboard causes the art to disappear and be replaced by flashing color blocks, sometimes white, sometimes orange, sometimes blue, and very occasionally I can see a glimpse of the art if I hold the command key.

    • Switching off GPU acceleration does not make anything better.
    • Uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator made the problem less profound. The art looks fine until I try to click on anything, then disappears into a field…

  17. The GPU preview renderer glitches out on distortion meshes when the canvas is rotated.

    See title, really. It might just be on distortion meshes inside of clipping masks; that's where I found it and I didn't bother checking for any further details.

  18. Documents are marked as changed immediately after opening in 25.4.1.

    Since updating to 25.4.1, many documents are marked as having been edited immediately after opening them, instead of after actually changing anything.

    I have not yet tracked down if there is anything documents doing this have in common. The more effects they have in them, the more likely they are to have this happen.

    I've attached one of the simpler documents that's displaying this behavior.

    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。

    ご報告いただきました「棒グラブの座標値の間隔が『7』の場合、座標の最大値が表示されない」問題の再現を確認いたしました。
    間隔が「7」の場合にのみ発生するようです。
    （最大値が「500000」以上で発生しやすいようです）

    今後、さらに検証を進めてまいります。
    開発に進展がありましたら、こちらでご報告させていただきます。

    今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

  20. Masking/clipping a sprayed Symbol Set drops performance

    Was working with spraying symbols to create a pattern, and then masking it. Symbol spraying etc, work great, until you mask them (transparency mask or clipping mask) after which any editing of symbols grinds to a halt.

    Even after unmasking, the symbols still cannot be quickly edited.
