Smart Guides do not work properly in large documents
I don't know if this is a recent problem with the 2023 version on Illustrator, but when I'm working on very large documents, smart guides simply do not work. I have to zoom really close to be able to snap and align this correctly. I believe that the behavior of such functionally should be scalable and independent of zoom levels.

Changing file name while file is open provides no contextual response in cloud.
Windows 11 Pro
22H2 - Build: 22621.1992
Experience Pack: Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22644.1000.0Illustrator V. 27.7
While In illustrator I realised I saved two iterations of the same name (I had intended to overwrite the previous cloud saved file but instead if added (1) to the name.
In the home area I clicked my files and proceeded to change the name, hitting enter did nothing, hitting the enter on the d-pad did nothing. Clicking away did nothing. I had an epiphany and realised it was because I had the file open i couldn't change the name.
However, this didn't…

Black objects in clipping mask are not exported to SVG
Hi,
I created two same artboards with rectangle and text in clipping mask (the mask is important). The only difference is fill of objects – one is black and second red. Then I exported both artboards to SVG using Export for Screens feature (setup attached, but any other setup produces same result). Red version is exported correctly but the black one creates empty SVG file.
I checked SVG code of both files. If the object has any color except of black, code will include fill parameter for each object. But if object is black, code will skip the fill parameter…

Replacing ': ' (a semicolon followed by a space) leads to doubling the next symbol
As discussed at https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-27-5-quot-find-and-replace-quot-issue/td-p/13765176
If you use Find And Replace to find any combination which ends with a semicolon followed by a space, like in 'Test: ', using Replace All will double the next character after the space in all matches.
For example, replacing 'Test: ' (with a space at the end) with nothing in 'Test: 80%' gives '880%'.
Single Replace works fine.

Problems with Photoshop Effects
Lately, everytime I try turning a vectored shape (after I gave it a gradient mesh) with no stroke, I constantly keep getting stray white pixels inside the stroke that seem to trace the stroke. I'm trying to make a quality illustration, but these pixels are keeping me from doing that. Thank you!

Workspace keeps disappearing
I had a custom workspace of everything I needed and right where I wanted it. Multiple times now I open up AI and my workspace is no longer there. I create a new one just how I want it again, and a short time later it disappears again and I have to start all over again. I don't know if its happening because of updates or something else, but it's frustrating and it throws off my workflow cause I have to keep taking take to reset everything.

Illustrator (still) cannot read TIF files.
When can we remedy this? I cannot open or place a TIF file in Illustrator 27.6.1. The error message is the file is an unknown format and can't be opened.
There are reports on this page still open from 2021. When will this be fixed?
I have several TIFs from a museum to lay out for printing and I'm having to individually bring them all in to photoshop and export them as a different format.

Words get broken when hyphenation is off with no hyphens
Illustrator (since a long ago) has a habit of breaking words in area type texts when it should not. Take a look at the test file and watch the attached GIF.
As you can see, the second word is a long one, and Ai for some reason breaks it — although Hyphenate is off (and the language is properly chosen).
No hyphen also is displayed at the end of the line, the word is just split.
If we toggle the Composer from Single-Line to Every-Line, Ai at first correct the tracking and fits the word... but once the container is…
14 votesIt turns out the file in the original report has a singular Latin 'o' mixed into the Cyrillic text, and this makes it break without a hyphen.
The font team notifies that Unicode standart prescribes to not break between two scripts that use spaces as word breaks, so this problem can fixed sometimes later, when the team revises their reflow strategy.
As for now, be notified it’s a very narrow case, and is a good sign that your text has homoglyphs in it.
