  1. Screen goes white as soon as I draw something

    As soon as I open an Illustrator document and draw or touch an object, the screen goes white. I switch between gpu and cpu rendering, nothing changes.

    M1 MBP, newest os and illustrator version, not the beta or pre version, rosetta 2 mode.

    The team is aware of a similar looking issue, where this is due to Anchor Point Size preference set to Max value. Please check if changing it from Max to any other value resolves this and comment back.

    The investigation continues to get the root cause of this preference corruption.

  2. Impossible to select a point under another point or line in outline mode

    Selected objects have their points accessible even if they are below other objects but only in prewiew mode.
    In outline mode clicking on a point under another point or line over it selects the object above.
    This bug makes working in outline mode very unpractical and cumbersome, mainly in projects with many aligned and superimposed elements.

  4. Video showing BUG: CLOUD LIBRARY Panel from Adobe Stock does not open AI documents for editing.

    Here is a VIDEO to show the problem:
    https://www.screencast.com/t/Tt1ZpSVX3

    Summary of problem: CLOUD LIBRARY Panel from Adobe Stock does not open AI documents for editing.

    To reproduce problem:
    Buy some VECTOR assets from Adobe Stock, open up illustrator, open up a new document, save it to the cloud. Open up the LIBRARIES panel, double click the assets you bought, click on the EDIT button, they wont open, instead AI just reopens the document you already have open. This was not a problem before the Libraries panel was updated, last version worked fine, I could just "double click" the asset, presto,…

  6. All Illustrator workspaces and control area disappears

    All Illustrator tools panel, workspaces, saved workspace windows and control area disappears at startup. A complete reinstall of the program does not fix bug.

  7. Illustrator 25.3 Crop

    Export File creates uncontrolled artboards and more then one - usually only one is selectable the other is not. Did this with jpg, pngs. Save as pdf works fine but export versions do not.

    One artboard frame is correct but the second unselectable version is smaller but taller and localized around one object in the image.

    They both carry over with the file to other programs.
    Files opened in photoshop display properly but png has extra clear space.

  8. Gradient along a stroke blend

    When blending 2 gradient strokes (gradient along stroke) the blend orientation does not stay consistent with the 2 original strokes. I know I can get the required results with gradient within a stroke or converting outline path etc. but I need to get it to work using 'gradient along stoke' for my purposes.

  10. Bug: When Changing fonts on screen which less dpi than default screen, the font menu is much bigger

    Hi, i have 2 screens, one is 4k and the other is 1920x1080
    when i am using adobe illustrator on the 1920x1080.
    everything fine except changing the fonts. as you can see in the screenshot, the fonts catalogue is much much bigger than it should be.
    the fonts catalogue is fine when i am setting the windows default screen to the 1920x1080 screen. but it's not good solution for me.

    setup:
    4k as windows default screen on settings, 1920x1080 as ilustartor screen

  12. プリセット

    Illustratorのバージョン:25.2.3
    使用デバイス:Mac book pro(mac OS,M1)

    ・新規作成の際にプリセットが出ず、テンプレートのみ出てくる

    新規ドキュメントを作成の際、通常であれば印刷やwebなどさまざまな媒体に合わせたプリセットが出てくるはずだが、それが一切出てこない。テンプレートの提案のみ出てくる。

    パソコンの再起動、アプリのアンインストールや、creative cloudのログアウトなどを行っても改善されず。

    非常に困っています。検索しても解決法が見当たりません。よろしくお願いいたします。

  13. Sharp corners of a convex curve get displayed wrong

    I've noticed on this newer version of Illustrator that some corners are showing an odd line overlap. Noticeable when zoomed in. I've attached pictures.

    It is also applying this to shapes made in older versions.

  14. Stupid Cancellation Fee

    It is ridiculous that you have to pay £109 to cancel a monthly subscription of Adobe Illustrator. I was not using it so decided to cancel my subscription, already £19 a month and then I was charged £109 as an early cancellation fee. This company just wants money and does not care about its customers

  15. Dialog box pop up warning when opening the application for IllustratorGc.jsx

    Illustrator version:25.3 (updated today to run natively for M1)

    Hardware Specifications:
    MacBook Pro M1
    OS: macOS Big Sur 11.4

    I updated my Illustrator today to run natively on M1 and have been facing this issue for a while.

    I changed none of my preferences but randomly seem to be getting this warning pop-up that does not go away when clicking on 'Continue' or 'Cancel' - I tried reinstalling the app which didn't work at first, so I removed my preferences and tried again but that did not fix it. It seems the warning pop-ups just when I open the application…

  16. Toolbars missing / Workspace missing

    I logged in today and my workspace is selected, but none of the tools are visible. I have to reopen them and arrange them all over again. But then it doesn't allow me to resave a workspace. If this isn't a bug, I'm going to need to know why this is happening.

  19. 合成フォント使用時に、欧文書体のベースラインがずれる

    1. macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Mac mini (2018) プロセッサ/3.2 GHz 6コアIntel Core i7 メモリ/16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 グラフィックス/Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Adobe illustrator 2021(25.2.1)

    2.問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    和文と欧文で合成フォントを作成。
    今回は「TBゴシックstd」と「Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk」を使用。
    Berthold Akzidenz Groteskのサイズを112%、ベースラインを-2%に設定。
    テキストをアウトライン化時に発見。

    3.想定していた結果
    普通にアウトライン化される。

    4.実際の結果
    GPUプレビュー使用時に合成フォントの欧文ベースラインが正しく反映されて表示されない。
    検証したところ、フォントサイズ24ptまではベースラインの数値が反映されず0%で表示。25pt以上でズレて表示される。
    25ptで一番顕著にズレが発生し、フォントサイズが大きくなるにつれてズレ幅が少なくなっていく。
    アウトライン化すると表示からズレて、(おそらく)ベースラインに入力した数値が反映された位置でオブジェクトになる。

    入稿時などにアウトライン化する際にズレが発生するため非常に危険です。

    こちら「合成フォントで欧文フォントのベースラインが正しく反映されない」という問題ですが、ご報告いただいたフォント以外の組み合わせの合成フォントで再現いたしますか?
    他のフォントで検証しておりますが、再現できませんでした。

    お手数をおかけしますが、ご確認くださいますよう、よろしくお願いしたします。

  20. "Proof Setup" and "Proof Colors" Greyed Out

    The "Proof Setup" and "Proof Colors" options in the View drop down menu have been greyed out and no matter how many times I restart my computer or the application, nothing changes. My version of Illustrator is fully up to date, v. 25.2.3
