  2. Bitmaps display as vertical lines in GPU Preview in AI 28.5

    Multiple mentions of bitmaps showing as vertical lines. Displays correctly in CPU Preview in 28.5 but is broken in GPU preview. 2023 does not have this problem on the same system.

  3. Character line height has to be entered twice before it changes

    If I ever want to manually enter a specific line height for text, the first time I type it in and hit "enter" it automatically reverts back to auto (or whatever it was previously). I have to open the character panel again and do it a second time for it to actually change. This has been the case for awhile and makes no sense!

  5. 生成されるグラデーションはグラデーションではない

    2024年前半頃に作成したデータについて解説します。
    グラデーションツールで単色（特色濃度100％）から透明（特色濃度0％）になるグラデーションです。（A参照）黒の矢印で指し示している部分までは均等に濃度100％が入るはずなのですが、データ上でもよく見ると黒の矢印で指し示している位置の前後が濃い色になっているのがわかるでしょうか。このデータを最終、印刷（印刷業者に依頼）まで進めて商品をお客様に納品したところ、納品先の顧客からクレームが入りました。納品された商品を見るとAの写真で示したように黒の矢印周辺が一番色味が濃く出ており（筋が入ったような状態）本来矢印より下の部分も全く同じ色（濃度100％）で出るべきところが薄くなっているんです。（参照B）
    しかも濃度100％より上の部分がすごく汚いムラのあるグラデーションになっています。
    私自身、DTP業界で20年以上仕事をしていますが、年々イラレの品質低下が著しいことを恐らく長年愛用されている方ほどお気づきかと思います。
    20年程前もグラデーションツールで作成したグラデーションをフィルム印刷するとグラデーションの段階がまるで階段のように縞々にでたことを思い出しますが、その解決方法として使用していたのがブレンドツールという強い味方。ステップ数を細かすぎるというくらいに細かい設定にすることでスムースなグラデーションを再現できます。
    が、しかし。
    今回の件で次回の印刷に向けて解決策を講じようとブレンドツールで同じグラデーションを作成したものの、いくらステップ数を増やそうとも、なめらかなグラデーションにならないのです。（C参照）
    そしてcの画像を見て観察眼の鋭い方ならお気づきかと思いますが、
    テップ数50のところを見て気づきませんか。一段一段のステップがグラデーション表現されており、そのグラデーションがまさに上に向かってゆくにつれて濃く表現されていることを。
    本来であればもちろん一段一段のステップが同じ均一の色味になるので絶対にこういう表現になるはずがないですよね。
    グラデーション表現の不具合と同じことが、このブレンドツールに於いても起こっています。

    今回実際に商品としてお客様に納品しており、このグラデーションの不具合が原因で金銭的損失を被りました。
    グラデーションツールに問題があった時の回避策としてブレンドツールを使っていたのに、それも使い物にならないとなったら、この手のデザインは使えなくなります。
    深刻に受け止めていただきたいですし、細部にまで注意を払って改善していただきたいです。

  6. 3D Extrude & Bevel

    I've been working with some of my previous design clients and noticed that when I add the extrude and bevel to a rectangle shape and I choose the draw hidden faces function it just don't show up when I do the expand appearance. I tried to edit by going back to the appearance panel and deactivate and then reactivate it then it worked. Has anyone got this before or it's only me ?

  8. 3D inflated art has rippled edges

    I'm getting rippled edges when I apply inflate to vector artwork. I've tried various settings but can't get it to appear as smooth lines. There's also a slight clipping to the right pupil. Can't get it to render properly.

  9. Direct selection tool doesn't work 90% of the time

    90% of the time when I use the direct selection tool (and I'm sure I am using the rght tool because the curser turns white as it should when this tool is selected) I can't manipulate anchors and instead am dragging the entire shape.

  10. Clipped images gets displayed on adjacent pages in exported PDFs in readers such as Microsoft Edge browsers

    When I place multiple images in a clipping mask, whether it is exported as PDF or saved as PDF, or even if I use Acrobat to optimize the PDF, some PDF readers such as Microsoft Edge will show the image at the bottom of the clipping mask. It becomes a color block displayed on the PDF, but these extra color blocks will disappear after enlarging the PDF interface.

    当我在一个剪切蒙版中放置了多张图片之后 ，不管是导出为PDF还是储存为PDF，甚至我使用了Acrobat对PDF进行优化，都会导致某些PDF阅读器比如“Microsoft Edge”显示出在剪切蒙版底层的图片，变成一个个色块显示在PDF之上，但是放大PDF界面后这些额外显示的色块又会消失。

  11. White random lines get displayed while working with placed images

    Good day. I've stumbled upon a visual bugs in Adobe for quite a time now. I've really thought that the sole reason was my old MacBook and although It got me angry at some point I knew I did not had the best hardware so I was in no situation of asking a bug fix. Now, I'm using the ARM MacBook with M chip, so you can say I'm having somewhat the latest hardware. Still the visual bug appears super often and I'm becoming frustrated about it.

    Basically I Illustrator shows me cut lines and borders, which are not really…

  13. 「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.

    「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。

    • psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される

    • 「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存（従来）」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様

    • 「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない

    • Illustrator 2023、2024で確認

    再現手順:
    1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
    2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す（psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ）

    実際の結果:
    「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される

    期待された結果:
    画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される

    回避方法:
    「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する

    ---- English *Use translation tool ----

    Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.

    • As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.

    • Same result with "Exports for screens", "Export as", "Save for Web (Legacy)" or any menu command.

    • "Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.

    • Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024

    How to reproduce:
    1. Create a symbol with artwork containing "Intertwine" and place an instance.
    2.…

  15. Hands-on Tutorials steps images gone

    Illustrator 28.5, on a Mac. The step-by-step images in the hands-on tutorials are gone, at least in the Branding and Identity Practice ones. You can't follow along and create something "as shown" if it's not shown! Please put the images back in these tutorials where they indicate to do it like in the (invisible) image, they were very helpful. It's not really possible to do the steps if you don't know what you're supposed to be doing.

  16. Copying elements undos artwork name changes

    Copying an element (regardless of what it is) will cause one of the artboards to change it's name.

    There doesn't seem to be an logic to which artboard gets changed. In one file with 30+ artboards the it was somewhere in the middle.

    The files are created using this template file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nzcO96j5o6T1Vanunp3_AF2Iq6wqefHs/view?usp=sharing

  18. Baisse de performance au bout d'un certain temps

    MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16 Go - Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1
    Illustrator 28.5

    Illustrator fonctionne parfaitement jusqu'à un moment où les raccourcis claviers ne fonctionne plus, le traitement de texte met du temps à afficher le texte que je rédige et la moindre action fait apparaître la roue de chargement sur la souris.

    La solution (que j'espère temporaire) que j'ai trouvé est de fermer et de réouvrir l'application

  19. dxcore.dll not found

    Illustrator won't open due to "dxcore.dll not found".
    I have been on forums and many people have posted about this.
    Seems to be an issue with the latest update as the posts are quite recent.
    Temporarily fixed by reinstall of Illustrator. As yet, have found no permanent solution.
