Toolbar menus display only two rows at a time
I'm using Illustrator 28.0 on Windows 11 Professional, Lenovo ThinkPad laptop. Since the latest update, the toolbar menus show only two rows with the option to scroll up/down to see the other items (two at a time), which is very inconvenient. I've closed and restarted Illustrator, but no change to the interface.

Embedding linked EPS files in an over-sized artboard cause them to shrink to 10% and moves
When using an over-sized artboard, when I embed a linked .EPS - the .eps is scaled down to 10% of the original size AND it is moved to a seemingly random location on the artboard. This only happens with .EPS files. .AI and bitmap files are fine - they stay in the correct location and correct size.

Mixed stroke colors become white when changing fills using CMYK spectrum in an RGB document
There is a way to make objects loose their stroke colors in specific conditions.
1. Create an RGB document
2. Create two shapes
3. Make them have same fill color, but different stroke colors
4. Select both
5. In Control panel Shift+click the arrow button next to the fill chip, to call the alternate UI with sliders and spectrum instead of Swatches view
6. In this dropdown panel’s menu pick CMYKStrokes become white.
This does not happen if the color mode in this panel is left RGB or HSB.
Also, strokes become white if you pick a color in…13 votes -

Text is uneditable.
I have large text files in my illustrator artboards and when I try to edit the copy, it only allows me to select a singular letter rather than being able to simply click the text and edit it.

Single line text temporarily breaks to two lines when being moved or adjusted
This issue has been discussed in the Adobe Community forums, and other people have been able to replicate it.
This is the current 28.1 version of Illustrator as of Dec. 21st 2023.
If I have text that is close to the edge of the text box, and I try to make kerning between two characters tighter/smaller, Illustrator temporarily shows the text breaking into two lines, as if it won't fit on one, before readjusting to one line again. It's making it very difficult to fine-tune kerning, as I can't see the progress I'm making. The kerning information in the Character…

3D Crashing
I have used 3D materials on my ASUS TUF Dash FTS for over a year with no prior issues. Last night, upon updating to version 28.1, every time I even click on the 3D materials menu within the window tab, it immediately stops responding and crashes. I have Uninstalled, reinstalled, reset preferences, cleaned up creative cloud, deleted almost everything on my computer and freed up an additional 100 GB of space (I have 600GB of space total), I have gotten rid of every plugin. I am just at a complete loss because I can now not complete assignments because even…

Windows 11 enhance pointer precision
If Windows 11 mouse setting "enhance pointer precision" is off, then Smart Guides and Snapping will not work in Adobe Illustrator v28.
Turning it back on will "fix" the Smart Guides/Snapping, but it'd be nice if we could turn this off and still have Illustrator do what Illustrator should do.2 votes -
Outline Mode Breaks display when toggling in and out of it.
I found that when I go into outline mode and then toggle the layers off of it it breaks my display a little bit. It fixes itself if I just undo the toggling and then Cmd Y to turn it off that way but it'd be nice not having to do that.

Zig Zag applied to an art brush is glitchy.
A simple art brush made of several parallel rectangles has unexpected results when the Zig Zag effect is applied with smooth curves instead of sharp angles. Changing the number of stripes and/or the number of zigs alters the errors. Some of them are kind of pretty but I think I'd rather just see this working as expected.
I reproduced this on an M2 Mac running Illustrator 27.8.1, in both CPU and GPU rendering modes. I'm not sure what the person who originally observed this and got me investigating was using.
Uservoice isn't letting me upload an AI or a zip,…

Shift + Reflect (O) tool is too jittery to be usable
The Shift + Reflect (O) command does a very poor job of constraining a reflection. The reflection jitters regularly – sometimes it takes several tries to complete a simple 90 degree reflection. Can the tolerances please be loosened off a bit so that constraining with shift is more useful. I have noticed this behaviour over several versions of illustrator.

AI 28.0 preferences corrupted by 28.1 with some 3rd party plugins
When updating from Illustrator 28.0 to 28.1, some preference files may be corrupted if AI is running certain 3rd party plugins. These include any written with Hot Door's CORE and incorporating a WebView widget to display a web page, but I have received reports of this behavior with some SDK plugins as well.
The problem it creates is that new files are not added to the File > Open Recent Files list, and any change to a different workspace is not saved.
For my macOS Ventura with AI 28.1, deleting these preference files solved the problem: Plug-in Cache and plugincache.bin.

Coordinates for Symbols within Symbols
When placing a symbol within another symbol, the coordinates listed in the properties panel no longer work.
I create a symbol of a page labelling it "Page Right" and setting the registration point for the upper left. If I open the symbol and select the artwork it will register at 0,0 as expected.
Back in the main canvas, I drag a copy of the symbol to the left, transform it by reflecting vertical and save it as a symbol labelled Page Left with registration point in the upper left again.
Now I select the two symbols, align vertically by center…

标注尺寸后新建图形问题
当标注完尺寸后,新建图形会出现在尺寸图层,要想在原图层绘制,必须选择原图层后再建立,我认为这是一个bug,尺寸图层作为一个特殊的独立图层,不应该有其他图形出现。当尺寸标注完绘制新图形时,软件应该自动识别这不是尺寸标注操作,应该回到原图层,不应停留在尺寸图层。2 votes -

Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1
Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.
Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.
The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.
