Home screen lists unmodified files as "Last modified"
The Home Screen lists recent files sorted by "last modified" even when those files have not been modified.
The list actually shows the files which were last viewed (or last closed), regardless of whether the file has been modified.
It would be useful to have both these options, but the current situation is wrong and misleading.

SVG Export ignores layer id <g> tag for some artboards and layers, but not all of them
When exporting to SVG, some tags are ignored and some are not for the same document and export event.
I tried reproducing the problem and were successful.
Also, I tried fixing the problem and were, in a sense, successful.Fixed it using the assets option on the export panel: it creates 2 layers <g> tags. One of them has the correct naming (stroke) and the other is just generic (Layer2). The compiler put stroke inside layer2. Not good for my automation process and where did layer_2 come from? I did not create it.
Another fix is to save…

Can't Delete Empty Artboards
I can no longer "delete empty artboards." The feature is there and not grayed out, but when I try to use it, it simply does nothing. My empty artboards remain. This is very inconvenient as I sometimes need to alter documents with several artboards and I have found it to be extremely helpful in the past.

Saving to Creative Cloud is Changing My Patterns
This has to do with repeating patterns. I'm using Adobe Illustrator 2021, desktop.
Attached is a picture of 2 circles on a background (shield your eyes, it isn't pretty :-)). When I make the pattern - in this case, the circles were drawn with the blob brush - the inside of the 2 circles is empty and we can all see the background. It's a ring. When I pull that pattern out of swatches, however, it will color in that background. In this one, it's black. It changes depending on the pattern and the colors I'm using. And it is…4 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 which is available worldwide now.

Pathfinder Incorrect Work
Hi!
I have a problem with Pathfinder in new Illustrator version 24 (2020) (macOS 10.15.1). Please look at the image attached. Pathfinder doesn't cut a compound shape out of a path or another compound shape. It merges the two instead.

Export as SVG: linked image gets deleted
Hi All,
I have an issue when exporting to SVG.
I created an AI file with a linked jpg image as a background, and some text on top.
When I export to SVG, the original jpg image gets deleted (I mean the original file, it disappears from Finder, it's not even in the recycle bin) and then Illustrator gives me the message "Some files are missing or modified in the links panel. Would you like to update them now?".
So, the first time I export, the SVG is saved correctly but I lose the original image file, if I try…4 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminRama (Mgr, Software Quality Engineering, Adobe Illustrator) responded

CC 2018: Objects on top of textframes are no longer selectable
I made a clear video to illustrate this (annoying) bug.
My colleague has not yet updated Illustrator and is using the latest 2017 version.
I have updated to 2018.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1bUmXCcssg
In the video you see:
- On notebook 1: I created a textfield with rectangle on top. I can select the textframe and the rectangle on top easily. They are on the same layer.
- On notebook 2: I did the exact same, but it has become impossible to select the rectangle.I cannot imagine this is done on purpose.

Color Picker lets objects disappear in Outline Mode and in Exports!
When you use the Color Picker to change the color of texts, then this will lead to the problem, that every object of the same layer disappears in the Outline Mode AND much more worse: in the export.

- Use the Color Picker (!! not any other color tool) to change the color of a text.
- Go to the Outline Mode (ctrl+y) and see that every object seems to be invisible.
- Try to export the file (Export…

Illustrator suddenly switching to CPU preview, GPU preview greyed out
My little research has shown that the preview mode changes when zooming if the cmyk document contains cmyk images. In a cmyk document with rgb images or an rgb document with rgb/cmyk images, there is no gpu to cpu preview switching when zooming. To reproduce the bug, the document must include multiple images in order to impact performance during scaling. My system: i5 8400, 32 Gb, GTX1650 with latest Studio Driver installed, Asus PA329C, windows 11 Build 22621.1265, Illustrator 27.3.1 Here's what it looks like on my system.

2020ファイルフォーマット、後方互換性の破壊
iMac 27inch(2020/32GB/1TB/Corei5)
macOS10.15.7リンク配置したJPG画像に対してエフェクトをかけると以前のバージョンのイラストレータ(ver.24およびver.25)でPGF部分を正常に認識できずにPDF部分より復元しようとする。
再現手順
1. ver.26.0.1にて新規ドキュメントを作成し、JPG画像を配置する。JPG画像自体は埋め込まずリンク画像としてあつかう。
2. 配置画像に対して「効果→スタイライズ→ドロップシャドウ」のアピアランスを適用する。
3. 2020形式で当該ファイルを保存。
4. Illustrator2021にて当該ファイルを開くとネイティブ部分のデータを読み込めず、ダイアログが表示されPDF部分のデータよりリカバリを行おうとする。実際の結果
旧バージョンにてIllustratorファイルを正常に開くことが出来ない。期待される結果
2020形式で保存した場合、ver.24及び25にて従来のように正常にファイルを開くことができる。これはJPG画像をリンクとして配置したものにエフェクトを適用すると起こるようです。スタイライズのみならずトリムマークやPhotoshop効果等でも同様の症状が出ます。
しかしながら、すべてのJPGで再現するわけではありません。条件を特定しようとしたのですが特定に至っていません。
当該ファイルを添付いたしますので確認頂けると幸いです。3 votesこちらの問題が修正された Illustrator 2022(ver.26.0.2)が、製品リリースされました。 みなさん、ご協力ありがとうございました。 こちらのトピックは対応完了とさせていただきます。 コメントはオープンにしておきますので、何か問題がありましたらご報告ください。 よろしくお願いいたします。 Illustrator チーム -

Opacity Doesn't Live Update when using Properties Panel + Keyboard
AI Version: 25.2
OS: MacOS 11.2.1
Using CPU & GPU PreviewProblem:
- With an object selected, open the Properties Panel.
- Click in the Opacity field and use the keyboard to increment the opacity up or down.
- Note that the object's opacity doesn't change unless the change is accepted either by pressing the Return key, or clicking into the artwork.
Expected Behaviour:
- As the opacity is adjusted using the keyboard, the artwork should demonstrate the changed opacity.
Notes:
- If you use the Transparency Panel, and adjust the Opacity there, the keyboard commands are recognized as usual.3 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminArchana Kumari (Lead Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Text height is wrong
When you select a specific text height, it is not correct. Say for instance you select 1 inch for text height but in reality the cap height is .68 inches. We work at a sign shop and a lot of jobs require a specific text height. This is misleading when I pick 1 inch for text height and it is no where near 1 inch in height. Can you please make it where the text height corelates to the actual cap height of the text, otherwise this feature is useless.
3 votesLatest Illustrator releases have Font Height Options you can access form Character panel’s menu — they allow you to set font height as a capital / x-height specifically.
The functionality has some minor issues (regarding rounded stems for some fonts, keeping the chosen option between launches), but otherwise it is very good. Please try it!
