  3. Graphics Glitching and Slow Response

    Using Illustrator 2021 and experiencing image/ graphics glitching when using tools (zoom, arrow, pen). The program is also running sluggishly. I am running this on a 2021 Macbook Pro.

  4. Auto Spell Check not working when ai file is converted to newer version

    I noticed when an older .ai file version (ex. CS4) is converted to a newer version (illustrator 2020) the auto spell check will not work on text and text boxes. The only way I found to fix this is draw a new text box and copy the text from the old box to the new one.

  5. Editing 3d Extrude In Existing File Loses Some Values

    MacOS 10.15.7
    Adobe Illustrator 25.2.3

    The shading/lighting and depth options are sometimes saved, but the style is always lost upon accessing the 3D Extrude filter options on an existing file. Problematic for teams that may not be aware of a particular style/value since this effect is finicky to begin with.

  7. Wake from sleep issues

    Illustrator, since the update, when waking from sleep, or even just display sleep - has started to resize the main app window to about 2/3 height of the screen and then when transforming objects (any movement or rotation etc) the pasteboard flickers. The pasteboard also changes shade when shifting bewteen tools - again only after waking from sleep.

    It is a brand new Mac Mini, and only affects Illustrator WITHIN the window - i.e. only the pasteboard - no menus or tools etc flicker.

    Edit: I have just noticed I get same behaviour with the window resize and some flickering…

  8. Illustrator fails miserably to correctly open/interpret most SVG files

    Half the time when I get sent SVG files and try to open them, the result is strange error messages, and often a completely messed up result, often with elements completely missing.

    I tried to attach an SVG sample, but seems this website doesnt support SVG either (and zipping didn't help). Doh. Didn't work to paste the code either.

  11. Illustrator Crashes in Big Sur, Intel 2019 Macbook Pro

    Illustrator crashes 2-3 times a day now that I've upgraded my Intel MacBook Pro to Big Sur 11.4 and updated to Illustrator 25.2.3. Illustrator opens just fine, but while I'm working or saving a file, it randomly crashes, so I can't figure out how to avoid it. I don't have any plugins. I've never had this problem with Catalina. I save to Google Drive (that has not changed.) Thankfully files are recovered, but this is a major productivity hit a point of great frustration.

  12. View Rotation Feature is obstructing regular pinching in or out gesture for zooming, when using the trackpad

    When using the pinching in or out gesture on the trackpad, to zoom in or out.
    The artboard gets rotated very easily if there is even a slight rotation in the gesture while.

    And then part 2 of problem. Its impossible to set it back to 0degrees. It keeps snapping between some low degrees

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.4.1 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!

  13. Corner features display in the selection tool, not in direct select

    Occasionally, the corner options features do not display in the direct select tool, meaning I cannot round corners (fillet/ chamfer). They do display in the selection tool, but they obviously don't work there (it invokes object rotation).
    This occurs on Windows version 25.3.

  15. Illustrator fills trash with "Recovered files"

    Illustrator 2021 on OS X Mojave keeps filling my trash with "Recovered files". So what's going on with it? I don't know what the issue might be as there is no crash or something else. It seems like a bug from Illustrator.

  18. Selection in the right pane

    Since a recent update of Illustrator, it has been very difficult or even almost impossible to select data in the right panels with the mouse. The cursor is stuck, and you must either use the keyboard to erase data and change their value or double-click on the data and replace its value.
    This bug was not present in the former versions of Illustrator (Windows).
    Regards,
    Pascal Garin

  19. Exportation of Devanagari in SVG

    There is an annoying bug in the export or save as... SVG, when the artwork contains devanagari script.
    I attach to this post 3 screenshots of a very simple artwork made of 1 background picture and 2 texts, one in Hindi, the other one in French. The fonts used are the beautiful Adobe Devanagari fonts (bold and bold-italic).
    I have used either save as... or export as... and reopened them in Illustrator, with different results, then made a copy of my screen..
    If you open the 3 files for example in Photoshop, you will see that they are all different!!!…

  20. Unable to activate fonts

    I am unable to activate new fonts using the find more feature in AI. When I attempt to activate a font, it attempts to activate but does not complete. However, the font is indicated as active on fonts.adobe.com, yet still not available in AI.
