  1. Illustrator Window hopping around constantly - unusable

    A lot of times when I use any illustrator function, like switching to layers, switching panes, or choosing any tool - the window just jumps away.

    What the heck is that? It makes it unusable because my window just jumps around on the screen?

  2. Inserting a dash followed by a space makes the dash uneditable

    When using the type tool, inserting a dash, spacebar, and then typing makes the dash undeletable. So type: - ohio with Myriad Pro Regular 12pt. the — is not able to be backspaced to remove, it is almost like it is adding a tab spacing. If you create outlines of text then you can select and remove, but text is uneditable at that point.

  5. Translation error for Turkish

    Column for Turkish is Sütun; but it is misspelled and written as sütün.
    All sütün words must be replaced with Sütun.
    You can see it in new document window (sütünlar).

  6. Make Adobe products inclusive for people with vision problems.

    It is impossible to change the menu color (make it dark like the rest of the interface) in Illustrator even after editing the registry in Windows 11. Only the Effect menu changes color according to the system settings, the rest (File, Edit, Type etc) remain blinding-white, which is critically bad for people with vision problems.

  8. Can't copy paste between tabs using the keyboard shortcut

    I've found lately that copy pasting content from one open document to another doesn't work when using the Ctrl-V shortcut. Manually selecting Edit->Paste from the menu seems to work as a workaround.

    I'm using Illustrator 28.7.1 64-bit on Windows 10 21H2

  9. Keyboard Shortcuts Issue

    I've encountered a bug where keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and Ctrl+Z, are not functioning correctly. This issue is happening consistently.

  10. 合成フォントを使うとaiファイルのPDFデータが空白になる

    「PDF互換ファイルを作成」をチェックONにして保存したaiファイルには「ネイティブデータ」と「PDFデータ」の2種類の異なるデータが格納されています。

    Illustrator環境設定「ファイル管理 > バックグラウンドで保存/書き出し」をONにして合成フォントを使うと、aiファイルの「PDFデータ」が空白(PDFのコンテンツストリームが空)になってしまう場合があります。なお「ネイティブデータ」は正常に保存されます。

    ●PDFデータの確認方法
    拡張子「ai」を「pdf」に変更してAcrobatで開く。拡張子「ai」のままAcrobatで開いてはいけない。
    または、InDesignドキュメントにリンク配置する。
    または、macOSならクイックルックで表示する。

    再現手順

    ●前準備
    1. Illustratorを起動
    2. 環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックONにする
    3. 合成フォントをすべて削除する
    ●再現操作
    1. 新規ドキュメントを作成
    2. 合成フォントを新規作成
    3. テキストツールで文字を入力
    4. 2の合成フォントを3に適用する
    5. ファイル保存
    6. 合成フォントの設定を変更する(ウェイト変更など)
    7. ファイル保存

    2020(24)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2021(25)は5の時点でアラートが表示される。
    2022(26)は5の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    2023(27)は7の時点でアラートなく保存されPDFデータが空白になる。

    対処方法

    環境設定「ファイル管理」の「バックグラウンドで保存」「バックグラウンドで書き出し」をチェックOFFにする。ただし抑止はされるが完全に防止できるわけではない。

  11. Linked ai file being cut off

    a Flattened tiff is opened and then saved in illustrator with a mask as ai. It is placed in another ai. file and when that happens part of the image is cut off, and its not part of the mask. I tried making sure there was only one layer in photoshop and in illustrator, resaved it different ways and still comes out the same. seems to follow a few particular files and sometimes appears all black or part of it black or just cut off. the files are no different than the ones that do work.

  13. Incorrect line weight scaling after vertical reflect command

    With "Scale Strokes & Effects" turned on in preferences, using the transform panel to change the length of a line after it has had the vertical reflect command used on it will incorrectly scale the line weight.
    Attached images show the scaling behaviour after the vertical reflect command has been performed.

  15. Workspace Panel Layout Resets Every Update

    Every time Ai Beta updates itself, and sometimes without, the Saved Workspace panels I cultivate are reset and have all workspaces cleared. Extremely frustrating to have to spend 30mins re-optimising my workspace every 3-5 days, as all of the standard template workspaces don't facilitate my needs.

  16. Spot color channels not working on placed DCS/EPS and Photoshop files.

    Several problems are occurring with placed DCS/EPS in Photoshop files and printing in illustrator:

    1) if the custom spot color is named 'black' it will not show as an available spot color. The workaround is to misspell 'black' - example: bLAK

    2) if a custom spot color is named 'black' it always results in at least two other custom spot color channels missing. If you misspell 'black', then all of the custom spot color channels will appear and print. Weird.

    3) probably due to the battle between Pantone and Adobe, but you cannot have a custom spot color assigned a…

  17. v27.8.1 - Random files having images corrupted upon file save

    Mac OS 13.5.1 / Illustrator 27.8.1 / Apple Studio M1 Max

    After updating from 27.7 > 27.8.1 files saved in native .ai format (pdf compatibility) with embedded images are randomly becoming corrupted (does not happen to all documents). The files will open up in illustrator just fine, and appear normal, but the image preview and rasterizing into photoshop will show the included images with blank white space, or areas of garbled distortion. The corrupted files will also fail to process on our RIP. This has appeared on 2 different computers immediately following the update. This has been alleviated completely by…

  20. Strokes on a blend don't visually update in the stroke palette

    When I create a blend with a stroke, change the stroke it doesn't visually update, until I double click on the blend tool and reduce or increase the number of blends. Never used to do this, and is incredibly time-wasting and annoying.
