  2. Illustrator 27 (last version) crashes

    Illustrator crashes after some minutes of use without any apparent reason. I have run any possible thing to solve it. I am just drawing with my wacom tablet, the same I have done for the last 3 years. The files are usually partially recovered, but there is no error name or code displayed.

  3. Zooming is broken when in the middles of creating a path

    I am new to illustrator but have found that on mac if you use alt/option + scroll while using the curvature tool or pen tool, it wont zoom you immediately, it will do it afterwards. if you were to do it even a little bit it wouldn't happen until you are done with the stroke. once it activates its almost seizure inducing with how fast it zooms an unzooms. I don't know if this is a mac only issue or a software issue but it can not only be annoying but just outright time wasting. i use adobe illustrator version…

  4. Illustrator 27.2 se me cierra inesperadamente minutos después de abrirlo (Windows 10)

    ¿Alguien sabe por qué se me cierra Illustrator 2023 (v 27.2) inesperadamente?
    Pocos minutos después de abrirlo se cierra sin marcar ningún error o ventana que informe el porqué y es el único programa que lo hace.
    Tengo Windows 10 :D

  5. Send to Current Layer not working - moves entire layer instead of only selected objects

    I'm trying to move some objects from one layer to another.

    I'm selecting a series of objects, then clicking on the empty layer that I want to move the objects to. I'm choosing Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer. When I do this, instead of only the selected objects moving (expected behavior), all the objects on the layer are sent to the other layer.

    (Normally I would simply cut the objects, then use Paste In Front on another layer to paste them in the same position. But these functions are also not working for me - the objects…

  6. Variable Font Changes

    While working with a Variable Font in Adobe Illustrator 27.2, everything works fine, and I save and close the file I am working on. The next time I open the file in Illustrator, the Variable Font changes to an italic version. There is no easy fix to revert the text other than to select and adjust it.

  7. Rotate View Tool - Alt + Transform

    Using the alt+tranform and the rotate view together is impossible because the object flickers between dramatically different sizes.

    Replicate this bug by using the rotate view tool and rotating the view 180 degrees. When in this view, hold down alt and try to transform an objects scale. The object will flicker between sizes making it impossible to transform using alt.

  8. Properties panel shows "no selection" when object is selected

    I'm using Illustrator version 27.1.1 on windows 10 64 bit.
    When selecting and object, the Properties panel shows "no selection" and some crucial features (like the reflecting buttons) are missing.

    I'm attaching a screenshot, where you can see that there is an object selected, but it doesn't appear as such in the Properties panel.

  9. Round cap overlap when using gradient along stroke

    Gradient along stroke and round cap overlaps. It is visible when the gradient is transparent. MEanwhile projecting cap does not have this issue.
    Please resolve this ASAP, my client is waiting and there is no workaround.

    1. Operating system: Both Windows and Mac has this issue.
    2. Illustrator version: 27.2
    3. How to replicate the bug: Make line, add stroke with transparency at the end, apply gradient along stroke, apply round cap.
    4. Expected result is that the cap should not overlap with the stroke.

  12. Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023

    MacOS Monterey 12.6 (21G115)
    Adobe Illustrator 2023 27.0.1

    Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023, the window to select a document is almost completely invisible, so it’s impossible to select any documents to place.
    The only way to place anything is by dragging it into illustrator from the file of origin...

    It doesn’t matter if you use the shortcut cmd+shift+P or go to File > Place, both results in the same issue, which is very annoying and frustrating.

  13. Pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in Color field no longer adjusts other color values proportionately with live color preview since 27.1.1

    Prior to 27.1.1, when live color changes were made, we were able to use Ctrl/Cmd+Enter after changing a value to proportionally move all other sliders, which is an equivalent of dragging a slider with Ctrl/Cmd key held.
    The face the preview is now live should not kill this old feature., since Ai surely can remember previous values.

  14. GPU preview crashes after a few minutes

    After a few minutes with an open file the screen flashes white and GPU preview support goes away. The GPU preview is greyed out. Interestingly I don't need to restart Illustrator, I just need to shut the file down an re-open it then GPU preview is back. The files affected have embedded images within them. I have an Nvidia 3080ti graphics card with an AMD 5950x running latest versions of illustrator (happens with the beta too though it did seem to last longer before the white flash) all drivers and os up to date.. Nothing to do with outline mode…

  16. Compound paths not saving

    When I make an object a compound path and then save as an SVG, when I go to open the file again, all of the compound paths have reverted to paths. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've tried an earlier version, I've done everything I can think of and still my SVG files will not retain compound paths. I'm using an M1 MacBook Pro, AI v27.2

  17. Ai crashes (hangs) after installing (and selecting) Google Noto Color Emoji font!

    Since Ps has added NCE (Noto Color Emoji) font, Ai doesn't recognize it! I downloaded the font from GFont (NCE v2.038). After installing (for "All users"), whenever I select the NCE font in Ps or Ai, those apps crash (hang)!

    If I uninstall the font (which I downloaded from GFont, not the Ps native installed one) and reinstall Ps, the font works OK, but again it doesn't appear in the Ai font list!

    I posted some screenshots there:

  18. Loading an external swatch library file freezes the app every time.

    Loading a external swatch library freeze the app every time. Loading swatches from a file does not.

  19. Keyboard input in Properties Panel, Character section failure

    Keyboard input in the Properties Panel will frequently stop working for me, and the only way to fix it is to restart the application. It's not a huge issue but it is quite irritating as I need to restart illustrator up to six times per hour to fix this.
    In detail: keyboard input for character related dimensions will stop working. I am still able to delete input, but cannot add input using the keyboard (the delete key is the only key being registered by Illustrator in the Properties Panel). For example, if my text is set to 35pt font, I…

  20. Illustrator crashes when you change document color mode from RGB to CMYK and from CMYK to RGB

    Illustrator crashes when you change a document color mode from RGB to CMYK, if the file was created in RGB and contains vector objects. If the file was created as CMYK and you try to change it to RGB, Illustrator crashes too.

    1. MacOS Ventura 13.1
    2. Illustrator 27.2
    3. Explained in the problem description
    4. Expected result - change color mode of the document. Actual result - application crashes.
    5. Attached a video and report from Apple
