  1. Older Brush Strokes get replaced with new ones drawn nearby

    Why a new brush stroke always replaces the old one, if they're close to each other?

  2. Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping

    When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.

    Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).

  3. Auto-snapping is unreliable

    Snapping function is often unreliable, snapping to unintuitive objects (fx. an object on an offscreen artboard rather than one next to the object being moved)

    Further - snapping allignment is unreliable, often claiming to snap to allign with an edge, but when placed being off by a tiny bit, scewing layouts.

  5. Uneven stroke widths using width tool

    Using width tool, stroke comes out uneven, even though system claims it is the same on both sides of the path. This only happens on one side of the stroke, not sure if it's at the beginning or end of the stroke. This only happens when width is adjusted at the very end of the stroke; adding a node just before the end of the stroke and adjusting that way functions properly.

  8. Copy/Paste formatted text is broken

    Mac M1 Pro, 16Go, macOS 14.5
    Illustrator 28.5

    When I copy/paste formatted text into a new text frame or at the text cursor place, the formatting is lost.
    It seem that the formatting of first paragraph is applicate to all paragraphs.
    Kerning adjustments is also lost.

  9. Hitting Escape while editing a field does not cancel the value but applies it

    I don’t know why nobody reports this...
    If I input something in a field and I want to abort and return to the previous value, I hit Escape.

    Sometimes the first Escape closes the suggestions dropdown (like in browsers), and only the second one restores the previous value.

    A LOT of apps follow this rule except browsers:
    Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, Blender...
    Non-design ones too: MS Office, Google Docs, various text editors... A LOT.

    Some apps keep the value entered, but don’t apply it, and put the old one back when an object get reselected — Xara does it.

    Some…

  11. Aligning doesn’t work for groups with strange empty unselectable objects inside, imported from SVGs (originally made with Illustrator)

    Several objects were made in Illustrator and exported to SVGs.
    Later they were imported back into Illustrator.
    Please take a look at both the GIF and the file atached.

    When one tries to select all the top-level groups and align them to left — it doesn’t work.
    Aligning to center and to right works, but once these get aligned to right — aligning to center stops working too.

    When exploring layers, it’s clear that these groups have something else inside besides rectangles — but only in Layers, not on canvas. These can’t be selected or changed, only rearranged, renamed, deleted.

    In Illustrator 28.5 (macOS 14.5, intel)
    • Create intertwine from paths with 2 strokes (lower is black and greater weight)
    • Either use Object > Expand Appearance or use Asset Export to create PDF
    • Several crossings reverse on some Intertwine objects.

  13. SVG Save As 'SVG Code...' not same as marked up saved SVG. This now matches Export As SVG

    The content saved when you Save As... SVG is different in 28.5 to 28.3. When you click SVG Code... the text file preview matches that of the old version. Example file header:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.5.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 9.03 Build 54727) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    viewBox="0 0 2255 692" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2255 692;" xml:space="preserve">
    <style type="text/css">
    .st0{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    .st1{fill:#FFFFFF;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    </style>

    When you actually save this with OK it changes to :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 2255 692">
    <defs>
    <style>
    .cls-1 {…

    This change is intentional. The team aims to improve the way SVG is generated (speed, size, redundancy, etc.) and merge current both code branches into one.

    Since some workflows heavily rely on the way the code structure is organized, the team tries to gather feedback on it.

    Please describe what engine changes affect you and why.

  14. Partage d'écran: «conversion des éléments déplacés au format EPS»

    Lorsque j'utilise Illustrator avec le partage d'écran, déplacer une image et très compliqué.
    Lors du déplacement d'une image, le pop-up « conversion des éléments déplacés au format EPS » apparaît plusieurs fois. Très souvent lors du déplacement d'une image, la connexion au Partage d’écran se coupe et il faut attendre un certain temps avant que la connexion ou Partage d’écran se fasse de nouveau.
    Tous les autres logiciels de la suite, Adobe Creative Cloud fonctionne parfaitement. Je ne rencontre ce problème qu'avec Illustrator.
    Illustrator est installé sur un Mac studio, 2023, avec une puce Apple, M2 Max et Sonoma 14.5

  16. Very wired and bad line jitters in "Accurate" Fidelity mode in Pencil tool

    I'm using the Pencil tool quite a lot in "Accurate" Fidelity mode, but it seems like this mode somehow got worse with the last updates? Did they change anything with the Pencil tool?

    Does anyone suffer the same results while drawing with some speed?

    There are these wired bumps in a lot of sections, which are absolutely NOT accurate.

    I know I can smooth the lines, but that smoothes everything. For some drawings I really like the accurate mode — but not this way...

  17. Hilfe reagiert nicht, sowohl Lupe als auch Hilfe unter "Fenster" Mac OS Ventura 13.6.7., AI 28.5

    Die HilfeFunktion ist unzuverlässig.
    Manchmal reagiert sie, manchmal erst in einer zusätzlich neu erstellten Datei, manchmal nach dem Neustart von Illustrator und manchmal gar nicht.
    Das Entdecken-Fenster ist also nicht zugänglich.

    英数で 「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」と入力するとスペースは全角で入力され、バックで削除できなくなる。選択もできなくなる。これをアウトラインをとった時、消えてしまう場合とそうでない場合がある。

    「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」と入力したい場合は「1(いち」を入力する前に何か任意の数字(文字)を入力してから「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」を入力した後、任意の数字(文字)を削除すれば通常通りに入力、アウトライン等可能

  19. Clipping Path Dimensions disregarded when exporting JPG in version 28.5

    When using "File -> Export As" to create a JPG of your illustrator document, the size of the JPG includes artwork hidden by a clipping path and adds white space. Attached is an example where I've exported a JPG from versions 28.4.1 and 28.5. The JPG from version 28.5 added additional white space to the left, right, and top edges where artwork was hidden by a clipping path. This is not how Illustrator behaved previously. Is there a workaround?

  20. Width tool not working right: can’t adjust widths at the first point of the path

    Have a fairly simple shape inside a radial repeat x 12. That shape has about 4 width adjustments. And one of them has a hard adjustment, from wider to smaller, but it acts really weird and can't make it a smooth width. It doesn't have two width adjustments on top of each other, and I can't delete the width adjustment. This has happened twice in different files, made separately but with similar processes. Can't seem to find a way to fix this besides deleting and starting over.
