    trying to export selection as SVG. Illustrator goes through the motions, opens the destination folder and... nothing, no file, not a thing.

  2. Can't escape from Isolation mode

    I have isolated a Transparency Mask (a gradient), but Ai doesn't show a way to get back to the top hierarchy. Escape key also doesn't work.

  3. area text corrupted on transfer from Mac to Windows

    When an ai document containing area text is saved in CC2020 or 2021 on Mac, and that document is then opened in CC2020 or 2021 on Windows, the area text gets broken (ie it's no longer a single run of text). We are having to save as legacy and stick to 2019 on Windows to get around it.
    The same problem may apply from Windows to Mac, but I haven't checked it.

  5. Bug on the All Caps (case) open type feature

    If the typeface uses GPOS in the "case" feature to relocate a glyph, Illustrator seems to ignore it. It is working well no InDesign and and Photoshop.
    So the "case" feature is broken for glyphs that reposition with GPOS.

    I am a typeface designer and developer, but I found the same complaint from another person: https://forum.glyphsapp.com/t/contextual-gpos-adjustments-for-brackets-symbols-question/17569/3

  6. Multiple copy of .ai file is created as increment file version.

    Multiple copy of .ai files is created automatically in the folder as "ai16230609285531274_" as I save illustrator files.

    Files are like incremental versions. "ai16230609285531274" "ai16230612596031274"

    Using illustrator version 25.23 on Mac Catalina.

    Please see the screenshot attached.

    When I choose Export for Screen... Gear icon (Advanced Settings for exported filetypes... JPG 100... uncheck "Embed ICC profile"... Save Settings; The ICC profile is still embedded upon export, and when I open the settings dialog again, the box has rechecked itself.
    This feature works correctly in the legacy "Save for web" tool.

    Ctrl + Shift + Alt + D does not work if Skype app is launched — no matter if it’s active or not.

    For some reason intercepts this hotkey at some lower level (probably because Microsoft allows this for their won apps).

  11. Window size is unchanged when unplugging from an external display

    Illustrator version: 25.3

    OS: macOS
    Version: 11.4
    Process Architecture: arm64
    Built-In Memory: 16384 MB

    I use my laptop either by itself (13" display) or in clamshell mode (connected to an external 24" display). If I have been using the external display and unplug it to use the laptop's display, the Illustrator window remains the same size as it was on the external monitor. The window is much larger than the screen size and needs to be manually resized. Double clicking on the edge of the window does not resize it.

    Expected result: Moving the illustrator window from one display to…

  12. Replacing image does not match position of original

    When replacing an image, the placement of the new image is in a (seemingly) random position on the canvas rather than in the same position as the original image.

  14. Wacom tablet pen problem

    The buttons on the Wacom tablet pen has been set to scroll up/down, but it doesn't work in illustrator. When pressing the button, a hand sign appears and vanishes instantly. The buttons work fine in other adobe and non-adobe apps. I have tried reinstalling the Wacom drivers and also disabled and enabled the wacom device on preferences but nothing seems to work.

  18. Keyboard shortcuts not saving. Unable to change certain keyboard shortcuts.

    Latest updates are not storing keyboard shortcuts or reverting back to default with no way to resolve.

    I changed the CPU/GPU preview shortcut (cmd+E) to something else and set cmd+E to be a shortcut for Expand. It doesn't update in the menu and reverts back after restarting Illustrator. I've tried reinstalling, reseting preferences and deleting my custom keyboard shortcuts and resetting them with no success at keeping the shortcuts as I've set them.

    I should be able to overwrite or change keyboard shortcuts, especially those that aren't used as often and I don't personally see the need to have a…

  19. Noticing a strange path glitch

    I have noticed a strange glitch that is appearing on paths. Here is a screen shot. You can see the two shape (dark and light aqua colors) and the path is highlighted in red. Near the path and in-between the shapes is a strange jagged line. I had this appear in one other document too. There is nothing there when I go to try and grab it or delete it.
