illustrator crash when monitor goes to sleep and other
Illustrator crashes when monitor goes to sleep. The program used to run in the 19.0 and the first 20 version in addition to all the versions before that when the computer monitor went to sleep. When the monitor was awoken your work would still be there. With the new updates, this is no longer happens and a crash report is not given. Also when creating a board size in the latest version of illustrator you cannot highlight all of the current dimensions and delete them to put in your custom dimensions like you have been able to in the past.…

Alignement of neighboring objects
Hi, when I used to move my objects on artboard, there used to be lanes and alignments automatically showing me when two objects on the artboard are in alignment with a green line. However, I can't see that feature anymore, it just happened since yesterday. very frustrating. Is this a bug, or is this due to some settings issue?

1. Disable Snap to Grid
2. Enable Smart Guides
3. Make sure you have Spacing Guides option turned on in Preferences > Smart Guides

SVG Export - Compound Paths Cause Performance Issues & Unexpected Results
Windows 10, Illustrator 25.2.3 | System info attached and repro file attached.
There are 2 artboards and asset exports defined in the file.
They are the same illustration with 1 difference - the "grouped" version has a set of paths grouped together, and the "compound" version has those same paths combined into a compound path.
I ran 3 test exports with my repro file, increasing paths: first 500 paths, then 1000 paths, and finally 1500 paths. Here's the export times:
Test 1 | 0500 paths | Grouped: 10 seconds | Compound: 130 seconds
Test 2 | 1000 paths | Grouped:…1 vote -
Zoom Blur gets cutoff.
At high amounts, the blur effect from zoom blur gets cut off (specifically with text, whether the text is rasterized or not. I haven't tested other shapes). It's related to the "add x amount of space around objects" setting (though no number actually fixes it. It is easy to see when you compare the effect in Illustrator to the effect in Photoshop.
You guys really need to work on Illustrator's effect system. It's the one thing no other vector app has, but some things don't work or aren't effective because we have less control than we do in Photoshop.
P.S.…

Scroll on hover over unselected tools or library panels not working in 2020 release.
Prior to the 2020 release of Illustrator, when I was working in a document (with my various tools panels and CC Library panel docked to the side of the page) I could have my artboard/artwork selected and hover my mouse over a tools pane or library and scroll to see my options (without clicking to select that pane.) Now it doesn't seem to work anymore. I have to click on whichever tools pane or the library pane to activate it before I can begin scrolling through the options. It may not seem like much of a bug, but it actually…

Share for Review Greyed Out
I used Share for Review in Beta a number of times successfully last week on a few proofs but I just opened a file to use it again and the feature is now greyed out, as is the option to open a window for "Comments".
I have reverted back to the regular Illustrator to continue using this feature but preferred the Beta, as the regular version requires you to upload the file and assets to CC cloud and the proof quality is terrible. The Beta, when it was working, was more consistent with how the feature works in InDesign but…

Installed Fonts Not Being Updated
I've tried the forums but this issue is still not solved & I've not been able to find a solution anywhere. Allow me to clarify.
Thi issueeffects both the font menus and fonts in the entire document & actually across unlimited documents after unlimited numbers of app restarts and system restarts. I assume this can be fixed because I have proper behavior on one machine & improper behavior on another.
I build fonts. I use Illustrator as one of many apps in which I test the fonts as part of my workflow. The problem I am having is that…

Zooming manually (on trackpad) works on and off
When I try to zoom in or out, it doesn't always work. I'm having this issue on Adobe XD in addition to Illustrator. I use my trackpad to zoom (scroll/pinch to zoom) and it works fine in all other software so I know it's not my computer.
It started within the past year and has gotten worse. I'm not sure what causes the issue, sometimes it's like that when I open the app, or sometimes it just does it mid-work session. I was using Adobe XD yesterday and noticed that dragging in an image to the artboard made zooming possible…

Display not being refreshed, scrolling through Artwork while zoomed in and dragging an object
When I have zoomed into my artwork and drag an object - for example draw a rectangle or line that reaches the end of the window while dragging, the artboard scrolls, but the image is not refreshed. Only the ruler shows me, that I am scrolling... Even when I stop dragging and release the mousebutton, the image is not fully refreshed. Otherwise: when I drag the Marquee-Tool to the end of the window, scrolling starts and the image gets constantly refreshed while dragging. This is the way I would normally expect it to be, regardless of the the Tool I…

Smart Guides snaps to document origin
iMac 5K 2019, OS X 10.16
3.6 GHz 8-Core i9
32 GB DDR4Illustrator 25.1
Moving an item or group while working outside of artboard causes snapping effect where group snaps to bottom left corner of artboard instead of moving smoothly from original position. This occurs when Smart Guides are turned on. Turning off Smart Guides seems to return to expected behaviour.

Unit increments changing
Sing the introduction of the large canvas sizes (which is awesome, by the way) I have been noticing that my increments of measure particularly in type and keyboard increments within the preferences have been scaling down to microscopic numbers when I change from feet to inches or points. I then get these odd numbers when scaling type with the keyboard shortcuts.
