  1. Moving a path to an invisible group still enables me to edit with Blob Brush

    I was painting a path with the Blob brush, then I decided to paint a new path on top of the other one and I didn't want to join with the original, so I moved the original to an invisible group and proceeded to paint the new path. For my surprise the original in the invisible group joined with the new path, I don't see this like a feature.

  3. Error opening Edit menu

    Not sure when this started happening. When a graphic object is selected on the artboard (JPEG in this case), the Edit tab in the main menu bar produces an error when clicked on. Other tabs seem fine. When trying to open the Edit menu, the attached error pops up. Once the error is dismissed, the dropdown menu opens. This happens every time the process is repeated. It is not helped by restarting either Illustrator or the Mac.

  4. Fix Creative Cloud - files can't be retrieved but cloud says no sync errors

    Operating system: MacOS Big Sur Version 11.6
    Adobe Illustrator: 25.4.1

    Trying to open a cloud document but they don't seem to exist/can't be opened as I cannot access my docs in the cloud.
    I have restarted, updated etc etc and still, when I want to access my cloud docs Illustrator says "Something went wrong, please restart the app and try again"
    I've also tried accessing from the Creative Cloud app where I have gone to my library and my cloud documents, nothing loads up - it just spins seemingly forever.
    Weirdly though, in Illustrator on my iPad Pro it says…

  8. Сonverting a type object from Area to Point replaces soft breaks with paragraph breaks

    Illustrator's 'Convert To Point Type' should not change soft line breaks to paragraph breaks, as the GIF shows.

    Thanks to John Goodman for reporting that.

  10. AI 25.4.1 GPU performance still very slow, cannot easily editing previous version files

    Since AI 25.2 I've had problems editing files. With GPU features enabled, all UI functions, selecting, deselecting, all mouse dragging functions, menu selections are all extremely slow to respond, I'm talking several seconds between responses to clicks and movement. Turning off "Real Time Editing" helps somewhat, delays are shortened, but still very difficult to work with. Disabling Animated-zoom has no effect. Disabling GPU entirely, improves selection and dragging, but there is still a delay of several seconds after releasing the mouse button. This behavior seems restricted to editing files prior to v25.2, but not all. Preforming a "SaveAs" over the…

  14. AiRobin using 16-24% CPU constantly

    Every time Illustrator is opened (and sometimes after it is closed) AIRobin uses cpu constantly even when no files are opened.

    1. OS: Windows 10 Pro ver:2004 build:19041.1165
    2. Illustrator Beta 26.0.667
    3. steps to reproduce are above
    4. my expected result is for it to only use CPU when a task is needed
    5. this description should be more than adequate.

  17. v25.4 Changed ID format for items with same name when saving SVGs

    Do this on both v25.3.1 with v25.4 (Both Mac, Windows):
    Assuming Identify Objects By Object Name is on.
    1) Create new document
    2) Create two items (e.g. rectangle)
    3) Rename rectangles to same name
    4) Save SVG (not export)

    Expected format from v25.3.1:
    <rect id="rect_1_" ...
    <rect id="rect" ...

    Actual v25.4 output:
    <rect id="rect_00000161598596446820662850000009930553674419257219_" ...
    <rect id="rect"

    We have clients who have CSS selectors that dynamically change the SVG, so now they can't update their designs in our system because it breaks the CSS selectors.

    Afterwards, changing "Identify Objects By" shows that same ID name in the layers panel.

  20. Export for Screens doesn't remember settings.

    Export for Screen Doesn't remember my settings.
    Every time I restart Illustrator, I have to set again my Export for Screen setting.

    I have project where I want to export few different sizes PNGs and a PDF, so it is getting a bit tedious to set those again every time I restart Illustrator. And of course it doesn't remember Export folder either.

    It really amaze me how Adobe can brake some basic functionality like this.
