  4. Adobe Illustrator 26.2.1

    Hello,

    I'm trying to copy the name of my working file and paste it into the name of the folder I just created (with the help of the keyboard shortcut), but it doesn't paste the name. I have to paste the name with the help of right click of the mouse. Can you fix this situation?

  6. Applying Recolor to selected instances of a symbol recolors the original symbol

    If I want to change colors for selected dynamic symbols, using Recolor will affect not local colors, but the original symbol.
    This makes little sense. If I wanted to change the original symbol, I'd edited it and made the changes directly to it. If I have a selection, I mean to change symbols in it only.

    To workaround it I can isolate my selection by locking/hiding objects I don't want to affect and use Select Same commands to recolor parts of symbols one at a time.

  7. Repeat on-screen controls work wrong when Bounding Box is off

    When bounding box is off, splitter control is rendered, but does not work, and instances control is missing completely.
    Having the bounding box turned off does not mean a user does not want to have repeat controls. So they should be A) completely hidden, or B) shown and be completely working.

  9. Not Saving

    Illustrator saving suddenly stops working. I use a shortcut for SAVE AS, EXPORT AS, SAVE A COPY and all of a sudden nothing happens when I go to save. Only saves with Save/Cmd+S. Only restarting Ai helps. It was doing this before but now it's several times a day since updating to macOS Monterey 12.3.1. (Also happens with Ps.)

    Ai version v. 26.2.1

  11. "Align dash to corners and path ends" is broken in 2022.

    See title.

    Here's two screengrabs of 2021 and 2022 with the following done in them:

    1. Draw an 800x800 pt circle in the middle of the canvas.
    2. Set the stroke to 800px wide, black, dashed line on, 12pt in the first dash box, no other gaps/dashes, turn on "align dash to corners and path ends".

    2021 renders evenly, as expected, 2022 has the dashes at weird off-kilter angles.

    2022 will render evenly if I switch to "preserve exact dash and gap lengths".

    Observed on 26.0.2, both with my usual plugins and with them removed, maybe i'll try updating later today to…

  12. Trim View gets disabled when switching artboards with Pixel Preview on

    In a document with multiple artboards and bled artwork.
    In Pixel Preview Mode, Turn on Trim View. Select a Different Artboard. Trim View Turns Off.

    With no shortcut for Trim View this means you have to go back to the menu for every artboard you click. If you're working with 15+ artboards this process becomes tedious.

  13. Stability Issues

    Illustrator is constantly crashing, I use Windows 10. I've been losing a lot of work because of it. I am forced to do the updates (can't use an older version) because I receive art from multiple artists and they all use the updated version, and the "older versions" can't open the newer version.... WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO FIX THIS???!!!

  14. Direct selection tool appears to move whole object until mouse release

    When part of an object is selected using the direct selection tool (selection tool and holding 'V' key down) the whole object appears to move to the new position until the mouse is released, at which point all the unselected points snap back to their original position. I'm assuming this is a bug and not intended?

  16. Window widgets vanish if window is resized via Accessibility API

    If an Illustrator window is moved and resized via the Accessibility API, then the window widgets will vanish. They will reappear if you manually resize the window (even if only by a pixel).

    This issue affects anyone who uses a third-party window manager, such as our app Moom. It was reported by one of our users, and this video is theirs—we don't have Illustrator, so we can't test on our end.

    If you watch the video, you'll see the window widgets vanish when the user uses Moom to move the window; they then reappear when they manually resize the window.…

  17. Stroke Scaling moves visible stroke away from actual path

    When I try to scale up the stroke weight on a path, the visual of the stroke moves away from the actual path proportionate to the amount scaled up. I have no idea what is going on. This happens mainly with custom brushes but I have not been able to predict when or how severely this is going to happen. Yes I'm using the latest illustrator update.

  18. SVG Export - Style Tag (Angled Apostrophe) Issue

    Hi,

    I have recently stumbled upon a random issue with exporting SVGs from Illustrator (Desktop). I am recycling some previously used assets that I know work fine and are fully compatible with Articulate Rise (the eLearning tool I import the SVGs to).

    For some reason, within the last week or so, something has changed. Now when I try to import my SVGs to Articulate, I get an error saying the file type is invalid. Having investigated this with the Articulate support team, we discovered that during the export process, Illustrator is adding a random invalid character (this one (`)).

  19. Add Anchor Points adds sharp points on smooth curves (and converts smooths to sharps)

    If I have an circle with 4 smooth points and use Add Anchor Points command to add points to it, all new four point become sharp instead of smooth.

    Also, there are reports that Ai also convert original smooth points to sharp also, and this behaviour differs from platform to platform.
