  1. object remaining after command z causing memory error message

    I attempted to duplicate an artboard full of clipping masks and objects but afterwards, clicked command z. All quickly as unintended results. It left behind one box with transparency effect. every attempt to move this left behind object, caused the error "Can't move the objects. There isn't enough memory ID: -108"
    Removing the objects seems to removed the problem.

  3. AIT file does not open as a new AI file when opening from One Drive.

    I updated to Adobe Illustrator V26.0.3 today. And now AIT file opens as AIT file.

    It should open as a new AI file when opening from AIT file since it is a template.

    FYI, I am using MacBook Pro M1 2020, and MacOS Motley V.12.1.

    Doen anyone getting the same problem?

    ---Additional Comment---

    After testing, I found out that this is happening when I open an AIT file from my One Drive folder.

    When I copied AIT file on my desktop, then it opened as a new AI file as it was used be.

    For more details, I am using…

  4. Illustrator chokes when interacting with the UI

    Since I updated to 26.0.2, Illustrator is choking when I interact with any part of the UI, like opening and navigating through menus, moving windows, selecting different tools, etc. For the most part, the issue is not that bad when designing, but when I use the UI is almost unusable. This never happened with any older version.
    The video I´m uploading as a reference doesn´t have any drop-frames.

    My system:
    Windows 10 (10.0.19043 Build 19043)
    CPU: Intel I9 9900K
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080
    RAM: 64 GB DDR4
    System Drive: Samsung NvME SSD 970PRO 512GB

  5. Line width tool issues

    When changing the line width with the "Width Tool", it creates little triangles in the line and distorts all the corners.

  6. Display errors on tool 'preview video' and 'selection tool'

    Please refer to the two images attached. Hovering a tool or a part of an image is enough to show the visual defect.

  9. Wacom Eraser not working on Illustrator

    I'm using MacOS Monterey 12.1, and Illustrator 2022 (26.0.2), both recently updated, and for some reason the eraser tip of my Cintiq 13 HD stopped acting like an eraser and it does the same as the pen tip. I tried resetting the settings for both Illustrator and the tablet, but the problem persists.
    For some reason this is not happening on Photoshop, the eraser works as usual.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

  10. Blend Modes Hotkeys are broken

    Illustrator allows users to set custom hotkeys for blend modes, in Keyboard Shortcuts > Tools, right in the very bottom.
    Aside from direct commands for each available blend mode, there are two contextual keys: Next Mode and Previous Mode.

    They don’t work as expected. Let’s make a simple test.
    1. Assign Shift+9 (displayed as 'Shift+(' — which is not correct, actually) for Previous and Shift+0 ('Shift+(') for Next blend mode.
    2. Put two colored shapes in a stack, to see what’s happening when you change modes
    3. Open Transparency panel, to see which mode is chosen (for some reason Properties…

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.0.0 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  11. Visual breakdown bug when zoomed in < 30000%

    In keyline and normal view, when zooming in very close, the image breaks down. This didn't happen in previous versions. The first attached image shows the image correctly, with zoom at 12750%. The second attachment shows the image 'broken down' when zoomed in further. The multitude of diagonal lines shouldn't be there (these increase when panning) and the selected line (that I'm trying to work on) should be a complete line, not an endpoint. This bug makes detailed work very difficult.

  12. Ok/Cancel positions reversed on Mac/Windows versions

    Is there a reason why the ok and cancel buttons are flipped when you switch from Mac to PC? I use both platforms every day and it's really disorienting. Can this be made consistent across both platforms, or is this an Apple/Microsoft issue?

  13. Pink screen and residual image artifacts

    The pink screen flash is back for me in 26.03 when opening files, but now I have the added bonus of image shrapnel being left everywhere (image attached).

    Mac mini M1. Happens with both MacOS 12.1 and 12.2 beta (release candidate).

  14. 中間色のあるグラデーションのあるPDFが正しく読み込めず色情報が消えてしまいます

    中間色がなければ正しく読み込めます。
    問題のPDFはインデザイン等で長方形を設定し塗りのグラデーションで中間色を設定すれば作成でき、PDFにエクスポートできます。
    編集をしたいので、"配置(Place)"以外の方法で解決したいです。

    t.takizawa 様、


    追加情報をありがとうございました。

    InDesign でグラデーションバーの100%の位置にカラーストップがセットされていない場合に、Illustrator で PDF を開いた時にグラデーションのカラーが消えてしまうようです。

    今後、開発に進捗がありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。

  15. Rectangle’s horizontal and vertical measurements are swapped

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018)
    Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7
    Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559)
    Adobe Illustrator 26.0.2

    When selecting an object, like a rectangle, the horizontal and vertical measurements in the tool bar are swapped. They appear correctly in the Transform window.

    For example, a horizontal rectangle could be 7pt x 5pt, but when selected in the tool bar it shows 5 in the <--> dialog box and 7 in the vertical box.

    I have restarted my computer and restarted illustrator.
    See screen caps below.

    As per the comment:

    Illustrator allows to access dimensions of an object as well as dimensions of a live shape. In case when a shape is rotated by 90° the shape’s size values can look swapped compared to measured sizes. It’s like tilting a head. See attached images inside for clarifications.

  16. Cannot move artwork with artboard

    Artwork only moves with artboard when duplicate action is used. Nothing in layers or in file is locked.

  17. Illustrator 26.0.2 freezes, then crashes

    Working on line drawings, Illustrator freezes and displays either a dark screen or many lines of the same part of the UI (like freeze-frame), then goes black and crashes.

    The good news is that the auto-recover feature works (if I don't use Windows' End Task feature)

  18. Export for Screens via ExtendScript is slow and appears to have stopped

    Description:
    When I run Export for Screens via ExtendScript, it slows down and looks frozen. The rainbow cursor will appear.

    It actually works, and will finish if I wait long enough. It seems to take about 10 times longer than running it manually from the GUI.

    This is especially noticeable when exporting JPEGs. If the image to be exported is large to some extent, it will hardly progress after the progress bar reaches about 99%. CPU usage will be around 100%.
    Example: When exporting 8 1700x1000px artboards at 300ppi, it takes 157.636 seconds (the weight of each JPEG is 2.9MB).

  20. ÿ (ydieresis) Uppercase and lowercase are inverted

    Hello,
    the character ÿ (y with a dieresis) has an issue in Illustrator (I have the french version) when I change the case using the Font menu, it does the opposite. Turning Ÿ to Capital will change it to lowercase, turning Ÿ to lowercase won't change it (the .mov video is more clear)
    regards,
    –Nico
