  2. [Bug] "Print As Bitmap" (unchecked) checkbox is not honored.

    When I uncheck "Print as Bitmap", it is not honored at all, in any circumstance:
    a) In the Summary, it gaslights me.
    a) When I press Done and reopen, it's checked again.
    c) When I print, the graphics come out jagged, which tells me it is being processed with Print as Bitmap.

    I'm on AI Version 27.2, just updated.

  3. Bounding boxes disappeared

    Since updating to Version 27.2 all the bounding boxes have disappeared. To resize objects I can only put numbers in the Height and Width text boxes or click and drag individual anchor points with the Direct Selection tool. There is no way to click and drag an entire object to resize it. Late yesterday, even the anchor points disappeared, but closing and reopening Illustrator brought them back.

  4. Color UI won't stop auto filling in shapes with a last used color

    I don't know if this is a bug or not, but ever since updating to Illustrator 27.2, the color picker in the color UI (after holding shift + click) won't stop auto filling in selected shapes with the last applied color used to fill in a previous shape. This is very frustrating and significantly bogging down workflows.

  7. Selecting and moving points

    When I select a curve that has another element behind, and then try to select a point to move it, most of the time I end up selecting and element behind this point (another curve or layer). So to avoid this I end up locking all element except the one I'm working on it, if I don't end up loosing a lot of time doing this point selection over and over...
    My guess is you should establish some virtual lock while this moving operation are happening, or some priority hierarchy...
    Another problem is while I move the point I'm pressing…

  8. Converting Text to Outlines no longer creates Simple Ungroupable compound path.

    When converting text to outlines in Illustrator 27.2, the text becomes transparent, contained within a clipping mask, and ungroupable.

    Previously, the text would become a grouped compound path of the same fill color as it was as text. I could easily ungroup it.

    I now have to release the clipping mask, release compound path, and use the shape builder tool to fix the letters with holes in them that are now filled in (letters such as R, B, b, O, o, e, etc...

    I am using Windows 11

    Could not attach .ai file. Kept getting "could not submit feedback" error…

  9. Illustrator does not omit spaces in values in inputs, unlike in InDesign

    Just like it is demonstrated in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv5bcuIOrt/
    Unlike in InDesign, where we can accidentally make this:
    '21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' and get '210 mm' as a result, in Illustrator it goes liek this instead:
    '21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' → '21 mm'
    It just doesn’t understand what an aiming mistake is. Makes little sense, since it can’t be anything but that, so no punishment, please.

  12. Unmatching sizes for identical circles with Preview Bounds

    When Use Preview Bounds option is enabled, Illustrator lies about the sizes of some of the identical circles on artboards.
    See the GIF and the .ai document attached.

    Enable the option, open Transform or Properties panel and select each circle. Three at the top right will display the proper size, with the stroke weight included — 8.5 + 3.5px.
    Three at the left bottom will be only 8.5 id diameter, without the stroke accounted for.

  14. Space on text disapear

    Windows 10 OS
    Adobe Illustrator (desktop) all updated (27.2)

    When i use text (type tool), for a single line or a text box, the spaces between the words disapear as i type it. I tried different fonts, different idioms on the text, tried check and uncheck hyphenization and always get the same result.
    Is that a configuration ussue that im not aware of? or is it a bug?

  16. Pinch Zoom

    Pinch zoom stops working after using it a few times, using shortcuts on the keyboard sometimes resolves the issue but now the shortcut 'zoom out' seems to not be working either. Having to go to the tool bar to zoom in and out slows down a project a lot. Hopefully this will be resolved soon, I have updated to the newest illustrator version in hopes it would fix it but it seems it's only made it worse.

  17. Illustrator 2023 (27) Crashes When Moving/Dragging

    All versions (27 on) have been crashing when I try to drag/move a group or selection of items. This seems to happen more when I am moving in small increments or if I'm zoomed in, but can happen when I am zoomed out and moving a larger distance as well. Any attempt to drag items from one area to another seems to cause a crash! I have been using Illustrator 27.2, on a 64GB M1 Max MacBook Pro, running Ventura 13.1. I use a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet that is updated to the latest drivers.

  20. Color Mismatch when copy/pasting within Ai

    In 27.2, copy/paste, while staying in Ai gives a color profile mismatch warning.

    This is weird and should never happen. It also asks to Merge color swatches.
