  1. SVG text exportation creates a fragmented code

    All texts I wrote in a drawing, when exported to SVG files, were not anymore consistent: fragments of texts were overlapping each others.
    I opened SVG file using a text reader and I discovered that my texts were unnecessarily fragmented in many parts that finally were badly rebuild in the code.

  5. Paused tutorial video, can't play again

    Trying to use tutorials to learn Illustrator. Pausing video to try things within the program results in me being unable to press play to continue the video. This requires me to restart my computer if I want to watch the video again.

  6. Issues saving CMYK vector as PNG

    I am trying to save my vector as a PNG file, something simple, and it looks good on the Artboard, but for some reason after saving it, it changes some colors, like some sort of blending mode effect and I tried everything, still not working. The RGB vector is being saved just fine, is the CMYK version that I am having issues with.

  7. Linked PDFs resizing when pasted

    If you open a multi page PDF in Illustrator and then copy and paste it either into the same document or a different one, it changes from cropping to the bounding box to whatever was specified last in the File/Place options dialogue box and scales up or down to fit the same space.

    If I place a file (any file) and specify cropping to Bounding Box, and then open the same multi page PDF as before, the problem does not occur. It appears that by opening a multi page PDF it crops to bounding box but by copying and pasting…

  9. Random movement in text layers

    After saving and exiting Illustrator (26.0.1) on Mac OS Monterey (happened on Big Sur as well) when I open the file later the text layer have moved randomly. While not a repeatable bug, it does happen more than 50% of the time.

  10. Zeichenfläche beginnt nicht bei x0 y0

    1. MAC OS BIG SUR 15.5.1
    2. Illustrator CC 25.4.1

    Wenn ich mehrere Zeichenflächen in einem Dokument anlege, so beginnt NUR die erste Zeichenfläche bei x0 und y0.

    Auf den anderen Zeichenflächem befinden sich die Elemente außerhalb dieser Parameter.

    Man muss dann umständlich die Abstände ausrechnen, wenn man Objekte vom Nullpunkt ausgehend ausrichten möchte.
    Das Problem gibt es in den älteren Versionen nicht!

    Jede Zeichenfläche hat einen eigenen Nullpunkt unabhängig wo diese im Dokument platziert ist.

    Außerdem gab es in älteren Versionen beim Verändern der Werte einer Zeichenfläche immer eine Vorschau (welche sehr praktisch und hilfreich ist), wohin sich die ZF verschiebt…

    Every time I save a pdf, the resulting file has two pages even though the document only has one artboard.

  14. Paste operation does not properly ignore the null termination character of ANSI string

    During a paste operation to the art board, the final null termination character of the clipboard is not ignored, but rendered as part of the string used to compse the text object.

    I'm attaching an image of the clipboard contents, and I made a video to show the behavior. Under Windows, simply copy the value from the color dialog box and then click the desktop and paste.

  15. Touchscreen drawing not working

    I am on a Lenovo IdeaPad, and the touchscreen drawing does not work even in touchscreen mode. Rarely will it show what I drew and even then, it is after I have lifted my finger. I can only really place dots. Also, pinch-to-zoom doesn't work. Seems to be related to this forum post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/unable-to-draw-with-a-pen-on-touch-screen-on-windows/m-p/11376148

  17. Some process, probably library syncing, overwrote graphic updates

    Almost lost half a day's work. Though I lost a bunch of time and productivity figuring out how to get it back.

    A library graphic got overwritten by an older version of that library graphic by something other than a human being.

    I was working in Illustrator 26.0.1 and Photoshop 22.5.2 at the same time on a Windows 10 machine. I had the graphic as a Smart Object in Photoshop. But since it's a graphic it was being edited in Illustrator.

    I also had Illustrator 26.0.1 opened on my Windows 10 laptop cause that's where I do my pen work,…

  18. Locked and/or hidden objects still become selected

    The object is locked and/or not visible, yet when the layer is selected, all objects including the locked and hidden objects become selected and move when they should not.
