  3. Window, Control has disappeared

    Under 'Window', under 'Control', the Control bar does not appear at the top of my workspace, as it did in all prior versions of Illustrator.

  4. Brush strokes get displaced from their paths in large canvas documents

    I found a bug that affects the placement of stroke art in relation to its stroke path. When creating a document that needs a canvas that's larger than 227" it results in paths being offset from their original path without any additional effects. When creating a document that has a 227" canvas the stroke art is correctly aligned to their path.

  5. Panel "propiedades" en ingles

    Hey, formatee mi pc, volví a instalar todo mi pack adobe. Antes tenia el Illustrator 2020, y ahora tengo el 2021. Lo que sucede es que el panel "propiedades" aparece todo en ingles. Con la versión anterior esto no sucedia.
    Todo lo demas esta en español, la verdad es bastante molesto, ya que si bien tengo manejo básico de ingles, hay palabras como estas que no las entiendo y dependo de estar usando traductor a cada momento.

  6. Why won't the attached svg open?

    All the icon svg paths in the polaris icon system won't open in illustrator. It seems to be valid svg and renders in the browser just fine. It also won't open in XD.

  13. déformation d'ouverture PDF dans illustrator

    PC i7 64
    illustrator 25.0 64bit

    ouverture d'un fichier PDF multipage dans illustrator (avec PDF lié coché)
    une fois qu'on veut incorporer, ça déforme les 100% initiaux car quand il est lié il affiche le format du support et quand il incorpore il importe sur le fond perdu.

  17. Panels Keep Opening While Using Shortcuts

    Panels on the top of the screen keep opening when I try using tool shortcuts. For example, I'll be on the type tool then want to switch to the move tool but when I hit its shortcut (V) it opens the view panel instead (I get that this one doesn't work if I have type selected but I mean when nothing's selected and I want to arrange my type it opens the view panel instead of changing tools). Not sure if this is a common problem but it never happened until the latest update.

    Not sure why there are always…

  18. Never ever change keyboard increments to 0,0028px

    I updated illustrator this morning, and without ever knowing that this could be a possibility...nudging with the arrow keys just seem to stop working. It was extremely annoying since it is kind of second nature for me to use it. So I scrolled through google, looked everywhere to know how and why this is happening. After a while, in the midst of working, I finally see that I could change the 'keyboard increment' back to my trusted 0,5 px. I am truly baffled why anyone would think it is a good idea to just change that to 0,0028? what would…

    There were several reports here and there about this parameter going to the minimum allowed value by itself.

    While this can be indeed a bug that happens for sure, another possible explanation can be the fact this value is the first one to be focused when Preferences shows up. I takes one gesture then to make it go all the way down, especially on Macs.

    This would have to be studied closely.

  19. Type disappears in latest update

    Typing in a text box, all of a sudden it disappears even though all indications say it's there, the right point size, and has a fill color.
