    AI version:

    v.25.2.1

    Steps:

    I have never accessed the in-app "Learn" tutorial feature, but after updating to AI v.25.2.1 today, I decided to try it by clicking the lightbulb icon in the upper toolbar.

    Expected result:

    The Learn window would open up displaying various clickable tutorials.

    Actual result:

    The Learn window opened up, but instead of displaying clickable tutorials, the entire window is filled with a peach colored rectangle. Hovering over…

  3. Scrubby Zoom Suddenly Stops Working

    2019 MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. Adobe Illustrator 25.2.

    Scrubby zoom suddenly stops working, even though GPU and Animated Zoom are still enabled within Preferences. This happens once or twice a week; the only way I have found to resolve is restarting the MacBook.

    It happens while working in relatively small/simple documents, all of a sudden, without making any changes to Preferences.

  5. Falla al guardar los documentos de ilustrator

    Al momento de guardar los documentos, por muy sencillo que sea, solo trazos básico, no importa lo que contenga, siempre se demora muchísimo al guardar, y al hacerlo, la pantalla se vuelve negra y solo se visualizan algunas ventanas de herramientas, y queda todo en negro hasta que regresa a la normalidad cuando finalmente guardó los cambios. Estoy trabajando con la última actualización (25.2.1), hoy la desinstale y la volví a instalar para ver si tenía alguna mejoría, pero sigue igual.

  6. If an AI doc is opened, every other AI document pops up

    Mac desktop 11.2.2, AI 25.2. Opening a new AI document, or even just selecting AI, causes documents I've minimized to the Dock to pop up. That's annoying, I minimized them because I want them available but only when I want them. Please give us an option to stop this behavior.

  8. Bug: Newlines become Carriage Returns on Mac

    On Mac this outputs a file with "test1^Mtest2^M"

    f = new File([path]);
    f.open("a");
    f.writeln("test1");
    f.writeln("test2");
    f.close();

    it uses carriage returns which means things like tail -f [path] won't work. Workaround is to use the "BINARY" file encoding

  12. Deleting Files V25.0.1 and V25.1

    When saving, files will randomly be deleted, with and without error messages. There is no way to tell when this is going to happen, and the file is having to be recreated from scratch.

  14. Text edits dont show in GPU mode

    Windows 10 20H2
    Omen 15 Ryzen 7 4800, GTX 1660Ti , 16Ram
    Illustrator 2021

    On going issues since if i remember 2016 or so.

    When GPU is enabled, lots of time when i edit a textframe it wont show the updates. The textframe keeps showing old text, zooming doesnt fix it. Only thing which fixes this is either move the textframe or deactive GPU and restart illustrustrator.

    I first noticed this issue on my old Mac at the office, this cant be updated due to old OS its running. Now i still noticed it on my Windows system running 2021

  17. Stop "Get started with fun and interactive tutorials" permanently

    Every single time I open Illustrator I get accosted by the "Get started with fun and interactive tutorials" tooltip.

    There's two options on it:
    - "Remind Later", which temporarily hides the tooltip
    - "OK", which opens a tutorial panel and temporarily hides the tooltip

    There needs to be an option for "Never show this stupid thing again"

  19. G-Sync

    I don't understand why, but all Creative Cloud apps get affected by G-Sync. The mouse cursor while using any Creative Cloud app lags severely. But, as soon as you turn off G-Sync, it's smooth as butter.

  20. Point d'ancrage texte ou objet disparait en zoomant en mode tracés

    Il est impossible de travailler correctement avec cette nouvelle fonction où les points d'ancrages (x) d'un texte et d'un objet disparaissent lors du zoom au delà de 140% (mode tracés). Pouvez-vous me confirmer que c'est un bug en vu d'être corrigé ? dans l'attente, merci.
