  2. Column can't be resized in the variable panel

    If you have a lot of variables with a larger name the column can't be resized in the variable panel so you can see everything.
    Normal table columns can be resized; dunno why this one isn't.

  4. スクリプトでアクションを実行するとフリーズする

    Illustratorのアクションに「⌘+A」といういわゆる「すべて選択」アクションを作成し、「Select All」という名前を付けます。

    Apple Script で「do script "Select All" from "testAction"」を実行すると、Illustrator がフリーズします。

    この現象はver.25.2頃のバージョンでは発生していませんが、それ以降のバージョンでは発生します。

    改善されることを願っています。

    Create a so-called "Select All" action called "⌘+A" in Illustrator's actions and name it "Select All".

    Illustrator freezes when you run "do script "Select All" from "testAction"" in Apple Script.

    This phenomenon does not occur in versions around ver.25.2, but it does occur in later versions.

    I hope it improves.

  5. Pathfinder & Shape Builder: glitch when joining curvy shapes

    I'm trying to join two round shapes and I'm always getting unexpected shape glitches in the result path. I tried making this new shape using pathfinder and shape builder, but the results are the same.

    Sending before/after screenshots attached in outline view.

    Version 28.1 (2024)

    Please help!

    This is regulated by the size of the art processes and the precision value (measured in absolute values) one can edit in Pathfinder Options.

    Although vector paths stay continuous no matter how deep you zoom in, they are still stored on a canvas with rather finite coordinates, and all calculations are still very finite.

  6. Smart guides don’t highlight a repeat object when it’s grouped

    1. Please open the attached file.
    2. Make sure you have Smart Guides enabled (and Object Highlighting enabled as well in Preferences > Smart Guides) and Snap to Grid disabled.
    3. Hover your cursor over the yellow circle — you will see a blue edge highlighted.
    4. Hover again, but over the black cross — Illustrator won’t highlight it.
    5. Open the Layers panel and study the object tree — yo will see that the Radial Repeat is grouped.
    6. Select it, ungroup it, and try to hover over it again — now Illustrator will draw the edges.

    Notice that Illustrator still won’t tell you the…

  7. Illustrator highlights anchors on mouse over when anchors are below other objects

    Mouse hints sometimes don't accurately communicate what the user is about to do

    As an example of the problem, create one rectangle with a fill, then create a second rectangle with a fill that encompasses one of the points of the first rectangle. Then, using the direct selection tool, hover over that point. The mouse hint indicates that the user is about to select that point. Click, and the second rectangle will be selected instead, because it is over top of the point.

    If that point can't be selected in this way, the mouse hint shouldn't make it appear as…

  9. テキストボックス内での強制改行

    Adobe Illustrator 28.1、OS13.6.3、OS11.7.10

    テキストボックスで均等配置(最終行左揃え)を使用。テキストにtabを挿入しsift + 改行 (強制改行)すると落ちます。

  12. Last used SVG export settings not retained

    When saving a lot of SVG files that use the same settings, it would be great if Illustrator remembered the last used setttings after you have quit the app and restarted it the next day.

    I have attached a screenshot showing the desired settings. However, Illustrator does not remember the SVG font subsetting, image location and 'Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities' options.

    The SVGs are saved using the Save As… dialogue window with 'Use Artboards' selected.

    I am using Illustrator 27.8 on Mac OS 12.7.2.

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  19. 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…

  20. 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.
