  1. Collapsing layers

    LAYER BUGS

    1) when Alt + click on layer, only the TOPMOST sublayer is collapsed. The rest of the sublayers remain expanded

    2) The REAL bug is that when I collapse all layers, save, close, and reopen, ALL LAYERS AND SUBLAYERS ARE AUTOMATICALLY EXPANDED!!! It should remember the state of ALL layers, without regard to whether it is a sublayer or not. The USER COMMUNITY have been asking for a fix to this for at least 10 years!

  3. reading XMP data in scripts broken by 25.4 update.

    Illustrator 25.4 update broke scripts that try to read XMP data that worked in previous versions of Illustrator. This is the Mac version (have not tried in Windows).

    It appears to be getting the error on this line:

    ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');

    Comparing the frameworks in the package contents for 25.3.1 vs 25.4, the AdobeXMPScript framework appears to be missing in 25.4.

    Below is an example script to read font data that worked in 25.3, but errors loading the library in 25.4

    // load XMP Library

    function loadXMPLibrary() {

    if (!ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript) {  
    
       try {  
    
           ExternalObject.AdobeXMPScript = new ExternalObject('lib:AdobeXMPScript');  
    
       } catch

  5. 9-slice scaling distorts objects on export.

    I have a simple arrow symbol with 9-slice scaling to be able to adjust the arrow's tail to different lengths. This works until I export to SVG, in which case the entire arrow gets distorted as if I hadn't enabled 9-slice scaling. Sample document attached. Please export for screens and use SVG.
    Thanks.

  6. svg mit Konturlinie wird falsch übersetzt

    Illustrator Version 25.4 auf Windows 10

    Beim Speichern einer ai Datei, welche einen Pfad mit einer Konturlinie (mittige Ausrichtung) 0,124 px enthält wird das svg korrekt abgespeichert.
    Ändert man die Ausrichtung zu einer am Pfad innen liegenden oder außen liegenden Konturlinie, wird beim Speichern keine Konturlinie mehr mitgegeben sondern eine Füllfarbe, die die gesamte Fläche betrifft.

    Dies ist eine falsche svg Darstellung bzw. Ausgabe. Nachfolgende ist der Text der svg´s dargestellt.

    svg Inhalt korrekt:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 25.2.1, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    width="163px"…

  7. Copy/paste vector: Illustrator → Figma/Inkscape gives inconsistent results

    SInce 25.3, some shapes are distorted when copied from AI to Figma, Inkscape or any other software, as you can see in the attached image.

    It's not systematic. I attached a document to reproduce the issue.
    Note that it's not fixed by the last prerelease.

    I attached an example.

  8. Colour code changing Illustrator 25.4 BUG!

    When I put in a number on R G B example R88 G122 B27, it changes but then when I select another object and go back to double check the other object the colour has changed back to something else. See screen shot. I saved the colour in the pallete. The colour should have the same values as the name I want R88, G122, B27 but its value is different, its giving me a different colour value.

    My colour setting are see screen shot

  9. Exporting svg through "export selection" bug issue

    I had a logo that had text converted to outline. So it was a shape. ( when you select an object and you go to file> Export Selection and choose .svg ) The letter "O" shifted, see screen shots.

  10. スライス作成直後はスライスオプションのショートカットが無効になります

    MacOSX 11.4
    Illustrator ver.25.3.1

    「矩形を選択→オブジェクト>スライス>作成」の手順でスライスを作成した直後はショートカット(eg: option+command+K) でスライスオプションのウィンドが開きません。
    一度「矩形を選択→オブジェクト>スライス>スライスオプション」の手順でスライスオプションのウィンドを開くと以降はショートカットで同ウインドを開くことができるようになります。
    以前のバージョンからの症状ですが、バージョンがいくつか上がっても修正されないため報告いたします。

  12. Adobe illustraitor new beta version freezing with M1 chip

    I have recently upgraded to the Macboook pro M1 chip, and my adobe illustraior would not work at all, freezing and needing to force restart everytime I tried to use it. Adobe then released the Beta version, compatible with the Silicon M1 chip and I upgraded, however now it seems llike my Illustraitor has a lag.
    Every 5 seconds or couple of movements, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then catches up. I have restarted, reopened and no change. I am unsure of what else to do as work is now impossible, if anyone has experienced anything similar…

  13. Export for screens does not remember the last folder in the export path and always defaults back to PNG after quit

    When exporting for screens, I usually want SVG. When I quit and restart Illustrator, the last folder in the export path is forgotten. Additionally, Illustrator wants to export a PNG. I have to set both back to what they were before.

  14. Visible brush stroke using touchscreen desktop (MS Surface Studio)

    Whilst drawing directly by hand onto the screen of my Microsoft Surface Studio 2, occasionally Illustrator decides it isn't going to make the path I'm drawing visible. Use the mouse and the brush stroke is visible.

    I'm unsure if this issue is exclusive to this type of desktop (rare, I know), or if tablet / Wacom pad users experience this too? Either way, not knowing where you've drawn doesn't make life easy!

  15. Eyedropper applies colour to whole text in Text Area

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    When I try to apply a text style to my selection using the eyedropper, it applies the colour to the whole text area (not just the selected text).

    In the vid: all the text becomes blue.

  17. "Not Responding" every 30 seconds

    1. Windows 10, Intel i9-9900K, 32GB Mem, Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
    2. Adobe Illustrator Desktop v25.3.1
    3. Open Illustrator
    4. Every 30 seconds, "Not Responding" appears and I am unable to perform any action for approximately 15 seconds

    I also received a System Compatibility Report- Video Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630. I ensured all drivers, windows, and illustrator are up to date. The issue still occurs.
