  1. Illustrator ignores the names of directory aliases in the Library button of the Graphic Styles palette.

    Man this is a super fiddly bug and it is gonna slide right down the bottom of the priority pile given that most of your resources are currently tied up in "rewrite this whole codebase from scratch for iOS" but hey. It's a tiny little one and maybe it's an easy one to slip into someone's queue for when they need a break from that.

    Anyway. So I'm on OSX, and I still prefer to manage my style/brush/symbol/etc libraries by using the computer's filesystem instead of trying to figure out the Libraries palette.

    And I just discovered that if you…

  2. Changing size when creating a new doc

    There is a small bug that has been introduced into Adobe illustrator a few versions ago that hasn't been corrected. I simply want to make you aware of it so that the development team can take a look. When creating a new file and entering in the dimensions, the dimension values can't be 'selected and deleted'. They don't highlight so you can't select and delete them like you can any other value box in illustrator. You have to click into them, then hit the backspace. It's minor but annoying that they don't work the same way as everything else.

  3. Tool palettes on 2nd screen don't always act on the current file

    I keep my main screen clear by putting option palettes on my second screen, which mostly works perfectly. However, if I have another document open on that second screen, some commands get applied that second-screen document instead of the one I'm currently working on the main screen.

    To recreate this: On a 2-screen setup open a document on each screen, working in a document on screen 1 while the Layers Palette is on screen 2 out of the way.

    Click the eye symbol to hide a layer and it affects the live document on screen 1, as you'd expect.

    Option…

  4. option key keps getting stuck randomly

    MacOS Catalina
    switching between tools via shortcuts,
    the option Key shouldn't be aktive when it's not pressed.
    The key sometimes act like its pressed when it's not.
    The option key keeps getting stuck. A hardware problem could already be ruled out, that the problem also exists on another keyboard. The problem also occurs in Photoshop. I work with a Wacom Cintiq Pro (latest driver).

  5. Preparing for Save takes longer than actually saving

    I have noticed that now illustrator does a "preparing to save" function with a dialogue box and progress bar before saving in the background. The issue I am experiencing with this is that the "preparing to save" step takes significantly longer than I ever remember a simple save taking. As such my routine save reflex is causing a significant disruption to my workflow. The time this "preparing to save" dialogue takes is far too long and incredibly inconvenient. I have also uploaded the file I am working on so you can see if it is remarkably large or complicated, I…

  6. Weird Facets in Gradient Fill

    Issue, rather than "Idea". Using a simple, gradient fill, in Illustrator CC 25.2.1, I'm getting these weird facets, rather than just a smooth transition. Anyone else have the same issue?

  9. Bug avec les pathfinders - Illustrator 2021

    Un contour mystérieux apparapit quand je met une transparence à une forme créée par pathfinder... les pointes de ma forme débordent du path, et il y a un contour irrégulier à l'intérieur de tout le path... pourtant, aucun contour n'est appliqué... j'ai tenté de créer ma forme de différentes façons... divide, minus front, une forme à la fois, expand, «unite» de toutes les formes avant de crever le rectangle, Shape builder tool, nouveau document, restart! Toujours le même problème! J'utilise Illustrator 2021 (v. 25.2), sur Mojave 10.14.6.

  10. EXTREME slow down of Illustrator. Very slow and laggy.

    I don't really know what "idea" I have other than I am just making graphs (huge UI pain but another issue entirely) from an excel sheet with nothing else open on a decent design PC and their is 5 seconds of lag for keyboard inputs and overall its a very painful experience that is getting in the way of my business.

  15. Envelope Distort with a top object that has curves with only one handle makes the contents tangled and broken

    When I try to use envelope distort it makes all of the type look crazy. I have used it successfully in the past, I unchecked the distort button in options. Not sure how to solve, I restarted and reinstalled Illustrator — still not working. The attached image shows the 2 elements I am trying to distort and the bottom shows the result I get.

  17. カラー設定が勝手に変更される

    カラー設定が勝手に変更されます。オリジナルに設定したカラープロファイルを常に使用しているのですが、こちらが何もしていないのに「Adobe Illustration 5.5をエミュレート」に勝手に変更されます。以前のヴァージョンではこのようなことはなかったので、改善していただきたいです。

    こちらのカラー設定の不具合は、Photoshop を最新バージョン「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートすることで修正されます。
    お手数ですが、Photoshop を「ver.22.3.1」にアップデートをお願いします。
    それでも問題が解決しない場合は、Bridge の設定をリセットしてください。

  18. Constant with the spinning beachball, long delays

    Why is selecting from the drop down menu activating the beach ball? Changing fonts takes forever. Active fonts opened with Adobe Fonts is not loading. Adobe website says fonts are active, Illustrator restarted and fonts still don't appear.

  19. Textframe bugs out, and won't change color. Had to make new text boxes

    Found a bug where a specific text box will NOT ovewrite the color of the text. I tried deleting paragraph styles, making new paragraph styles with different color, character styles and eyedropper tool. I can change weight, italics etc but the color would NOT change, despite the changes appearing in the appearance panels and other areas. Fixed by making new text boxes and moving the copy to those, but an annoying bug for sure.

  20. Ich kann kein leeres neues Dokument mehr anlegen.

    Seit der neuen Version, ist es wohl nicht mehr möglich ein simples neues Dokument anzulegen. Ich habe es auf jeden Fall so schnell nicht gefunden und finde diese Verkomplizierung unverständlich. Stattdessen meldet sich hier Adobe Stock mit diversen Vorlagen. Wieso dieser Weg. Im Vordergrund müsste doch erst einmal die eigene Kreativität stehen, bevor man sich vielleicht von irgendwem inspirieren lässt.
