Schwarze Rechtecke statt eingefügter Bilder / Placed images turn black
AI 2.7
Mac OS MontereyDie meissten der eingebetteten Bilder (tifs und pngs) werden plötzlich nur noch als schwarze Rechtecke dargestellt.
Keine Problemlösung nach Neustart.
Da es sich um mehr als 50 Bilder handelt wäre ein neu einrichten aller Bilddateien eine Mammut-Aufgabe.

Group Selection and Selection Tool move individual points and handles
When using the Group selection tool, I highlight an object by clicking it and then try and move it. Rather than moving the object highlighted, the tool selects a single point - grabs it - and I move that single point instead. This often leads to a crash of the application.
17 votesThe solution to this problem is to disable the dedicated 'Show handles when multiple anchors are selected' option in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.
Usually it is off by default and does not interfere.
However, when it’s enabled, Illustrator displays all handles for all selected art when Group Selection tool is used, and it can lead to accidental handle changes when moving the art.
If you have it disabled but still have problems — please comment back.

svg parse failure for valid arc command
The attached SVG file "bus.svg" is entirely valid and correct, but it loads incorrectly in Illustrator 2023 (27.5, Windows 64-bit). In particular, it fails to correctly parse the following valid arc command in a path tag's "d" attribute:
A 0.50 0.50 -45.0 0 0 767.50 652.25
If I change the arc command to set the rotation angle to 0, which has no effect on the geometry of the arc since the radii are equal to each other, then it renders correctly. Here is the same arc, but expressed in a way that Illustrator imports correctly.
A 0.50 0.50 0.0 0…

Selecting all objects on layer via Layers panel not recognized by Intertwine
AI 27.5
Go to Layers panel
Click target button for Objects layer (to select all paths on that layer)
Choose Object > Intertwine... note that Make is gray
Instead, in Layers panel click to select first object and Shift + click to select last object. Object > Intertwine > Make is available1 voteDon't use the Target column to select all object in a layer, use the Selection column in Layers panel instead.
The longer discussion is in comments.

Illustrator exports SVG with font set to ArialMT
When we export artwork from Illustrator with text formatted with the Arial font, the SVG code has the font set to ArialMT (the old Postscript name). This generally isn't a problem unless the image is displayed on a system that does not have the ArialMT font installed.
Short of changing the SVG code, is there anyway of preventing Illustrator from using the old Postscript name for the Arial font.
It seems to be same with artwork created on MacOS and Windows.
Inkscape does not have this problem.

Selecting a shape selects multiple unrelated objects
I'm trying to select a shape on my artboard and it automatically selects multiple objects even though they are not grouped or linked together in an way. Also, an object is getting selected even though I'm trying to click another object on the artboard. There seems to be some kind of margin around that object but it is just a shape that I created, no clip mask or anything of that sort was applied to the object. Is there a way to figure out what actions were applied to an object when clicked? If not, that could come handy.

Can't delete swatch
I have a random color swatch that appears in my Swatches palette every time I create a new document. It cannot be deleted. As far as I can tell, it is not being used anywhere. I can change it to a different color, but then if I try to delete it, it not only does not delete, but it changes back to the original color. Right now, it's some random shade of blue, but at other times it is a different color that persists. Here is a video: https://youtu.be/MVJKo4i0xfw

Dashed lines not working
I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and using AI Version 27.5.
I am trying to add dashed lines to a line segment which has the colour R165 G25 B130, they are also on the same sub-layer. I select the setting to add it but it does not visually appear dashed.
However, it does work on another similar line of a different colour.
I also cannot change the colour of the first line as well.
The video attached shows the issue.
How can I fix this issue?

Merge Swatches not working
Selecting 3 identical Swatches, and choosing 'Merge Swatches' should result in 1 Swatch that is applied to all objects that were colored by the 3 identical swatches.

Changing the Transparency removes brush
When I have several lines applied with a Pattern Brush and change the transparency of those lines to 50%, everything is fine. As soon as I return to 100% opacity, the Pattern Brush is completely removed and I have to reapply it.

Anchor point crash bug
Illustrator v 27.5 (Bug has existed in previous versions)
Windows 10There is a bad bug that crashes Illustrator when I try to move a path or shapes anchor point via direct selection tool.
I will either move the path/shapes anchor point or handle normally or selected with key-binds (ctrl, shift, alt), when the bug occurs the software will seemingly freeze and after several seconds will blackscreen and no longer respond.It happens at random but when it does the software will not respond no matter how long I leave it for, I am then forced to close the program…

AI2023 can't open the PDF files exported from Packmage
Hello, I have been using Packmage CAD to generate PDF vector graphics (which only contain vector information, including layer information from AI files), and have always been able to open and edit them in AI, even in Illustrator v26.5.3. However, the latest version of Illustrator 2023 is giving me an error. Could you please help me fix AI2023 or make it compatible with the old version of PDF?

Exported TIFF files not showing layers
When exporting TIFF files as different art boards only one layer displays.
I found the cause was that one of the layers was selected. This is the only item that was showing in the exported files.
By simply deselecting the layer the whole file exports properly as expected.
The two exported files are from the same document…
The one with just the blue background is the one with the background selected making it the only thing showing.
The other file was from the same document with nothing selected displaying both flags and background.

Opentype-SVG no longer rendered correctly in 2023
I have some Opentype-SVG fonts that render correctly in MacOS with Pages/Number/Keynote, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint, in Chrome, and LibreOffice (Mac/Linux). That's several font rendering engines.
In Illustrator 2023, however, they were rendered stretched horizontally (as if the SVG occupy the full space ignoring side-bearings). The spacing issues is even worse for SVG glyphs with standard ligatures --- the SVG occupies only the space of one character.
I have used OT-SVG fonts in Illustrator before, and I don't recall seeing strange behaviour like this. Could this please be fixed?
