  1. Illustrator uses precise cursors despite being disabled

    From CS6 till CC 25.2, Illustrator has always mistakenly used precise cursors every now and then, despite the fact that the option is disabled in the preferences. Please fix this issue (Windows version).

  5. l'outil pipette à disparu

    L'outil pipette a disparu de ma barre d'outils et de la liste d'outils malgré une réinitialisation de l'interface. Même le raccourci clavier (I) ne fonctionne pas. Mon collègue se retrouve avec le même problème.

  6. If computer or illustrator crashes, when reopening recovered files all linked images are missing.

    If illustrator crashes or computer crashes when reopening illustrator, the linked files are all missing. A dialogue box says something like "Can't find missing file "." . . " as it would normally do if a linked file was moved out of the original folder. However, rather than the original filename showing between the "speech marks" all you get is a full stop/period "." and all linked files are missing. If you save the file that file then it will always have the items missing and there is now indication of what the file is in the linked files panel…

  7. 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…

  8. 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.

  9. 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…

  10. 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).

  11. 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…

  12. 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?

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  20. Illustrator gets hung up when attempting to search in the help box

    Bug Fix - Clicked in help box and as soon as I started to type something I got the rotating color circle of death. I was lucky enough to escape out of it this time.
