  2. new documents window with the same "template save" button like Photoshop CC

    I think that the button to save an template how it works in photoshop is missing. And i hope that she comes... Finally, the rubric "saved" already exists.

    The screenshot is from Photoshop.

  3. Illustrator CC 2018 - CEP on Windows, unable to debug

    Currently I am unable to take more than 1-2 steps in CC extension code when debugging with the Chrome browser attached remotely. When I do so the CC Extension panel clears itself, and the browser does a refresh. I do not see this problem on MacOS.

  5. Type On Path bug with OpenType-SVG fonts

    • Apply a text to a curved path.
    • Apply a color font like Trajan to the curved text. This results in incorrect glyph rotation.
    • The rotation issue is no visible with CFF glyphs.

  7. Unable to Crop to Artboard when Exporting SVG's through "Export for Screens"

    When exporting my artboards using Export for Screens, I'm unable to crop the artwork to the bounds of the artboard. The thumbnails that show up in the export flow look great, but the output files contain all art elements that are touching the artboard. See screenshots. Output svg attached.

  8. AI extremely slow on imac Pro 1.1, can't control UI

    I use AI in the CC 22 version on a new imac Pro 1.1 from Dec 2017. It will always pick up objects and move them, it is almost impossible to control the UI and work with the application. It also doesn't react properly on the click command of the track pad. The same happens when I use a mouse. Both, in bluetooth mode and direct wire mode. The system is macos high Sierra 10.13.3

    Do you have any help you can offer? Thank you.

  9. Unembed flattened Link, needs warning that it will save over layered file.

    You need to warn/remind users that the flattened link (that they chose to do when they first embedded their link), if they then save their "unembed" file back to the original link location of the original layered source file, they will be saving a flat version over the top.

  11. Linked images are embed after exported as assets

    AI 22.0.1

    Hi All,

    images linked in a document when exported as assets are automatically embedded. That means that a document increase its weight suddenly making it unusable and extremely weight.

    Please fix this behavior, images linked must continue to be linked.

  13. missing fonts logged in error

    When I open a document with missing fonts, the 'resolve missing fonts' screen keeps telling me I'm currently logged out of Creative Cloud, and to go to "help/log in". This despite the fact I'm logged in, and going to "help" shows my account name and logged in status..

  15. printing ppd changes

    I go to print a file. Select my printer preset.
    I get the error
    "The specified PPD is invalid. The default PPD will be used."
    I hit OK.
    Print window pops back up
    I manually select the printer. Hit print. I get another error that says" can't print file"
    I hit OK
    File -print again.
    I manually select the printer and the ppd to match.
    Make sure everything else. Size, placement of the file are okay. Hit Print. Then it will print.

    I tried resaving my preset, but this has not changed the issue.

    It seems like as time has…

  16. Consistent repeat crashes

    Consistent repeat crashes. I'm on a MAC High Sierra. I know my Illustrator 21.1 will at least crash around 10am and 3pm EVERYDAY. It goes through phases where it will crash 4 times a day.

    I am merely opening an Illustrator file from my desktop or in a folder on my desktop that is 1mb -5mb most times when this happens. When clicking on the file and waiting for this small file to open and nothing happens I realize that it's locked up.

    I check the task manager and sure enough it's not responding and I have to force quit…

  18. Vector shapes show as black

    When opening an .ai file on one particular PC in our workplace (a file that was created on a different PC) most of the vector shapes show as black-filled shapes.

    We have multiple copies of Illustrator (all version 22.0.1 (64-bit) in our workplace and on every other PC the artwork displays properly (with no black shapes).
    Turning on 'Overprint Preview' on the troublesome PC fixed the issue.
    On every other PC turning this option on or off has no effect.
    If we create a new file in Illustrator on this troublesome PC then we don't experience any problems?
    I have…

  19. GPU preview = poor quality in 22.1

    Image quality is poor with GPU performance activated in 22.1: lines appear too thick, anchor points are left on screen when they should have cleared, random artifacts appear on screen for no apparent reason. Solution is either deactivated GPU performance (not acceptable) or toggling to CPU preview on every document every single time the document is opened (also not acceptable). Please work on a fix for this before releasing 22.1 to the public.

  20. Character Panel doesn´t change fonts name

    AI version: last one, 22.0.1
    I typed the same words in 10 different fonts (all Google fonts), and they all look different of course, but when selecting them a second time, the font shown in the Character panel was always the same. I closed Illustrator and then it worked for few minutes, then the same issue appeared again.
