  1. Artwork flashing/glitching while dragging text

    Artwork on different layers is flashing while dragging text. See attached video.
    -Windows 10 Pro 64-bit build 19043
    -Intel i5-8600, NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB
    -Illustrator 25.4.1 (64-bit)

    The error can be replicated by dragging the text at the bottom of the artboard. Zooming in/out seems to redraw everything properly.

  6. pattern glitch

    When moving an object with a pattern fill, I get these streaks and the lag is TERRIBLE. This also happens when editing a pattern as well.

    I'm working on a new iMac with an M1 chip. So far my Adobe programs run very slowly... not the upgrade I thought I'd be making.

    Please fix the pattern interface.

  9. svg mit Konturlinie wird falsch übersetzt

    Illustrator Version 25.4 auf Windows 10

    Beim Speichern einer ai Datei, welche einen Pfad mit einer Konturlinie (mittige Ausrichtung) 0,124 px enthält wird das svg korrekt abgespeichert.
    Ändert man die Ausrichtung zu einer am Pfad innen liegenden oder außen liegenden Konturlinie, wird beim Speichern keine Konturlinie mehr mitgegeben sondern eine Füllfarbe, die die gesamte Fläche betrifft.

    Dies ist eine falsche svg Darstellung bzw. Ausgabe. Nachfolgende ist der Text der svg´s dargestellt.

    svg Inhalt korrekt:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 25.2.1, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 6.00 Build 0) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Ebene_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    width="163px"…

  10. スライス作成直後はスライスオプションのショートカットが無効になります

    MacOSX 11.4
    Illustrator ver.25.3.1

    「矩形を選択→オブジェクト>スライス>作成」の手順でスライスを作成した直後はショートカット(eg: option+command+K) でスライスオプションのウィンドが開きません。
    一度「矩形を選択→オブジェクト>スライス>スライスオプション」の手順でスライスオプションのウィンドを開くと以降はショートカットで同ウインドを開くことができるようになります。
    以前のバージョンからの症状ですが、バージョンがいくつか上がっても修正されないため報告いたします。

  11. "Not Responding" every 30 seconds

    1. Windows 10, Intel i9-9900K, 32GB Mem, Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
    2. Adobe Illustrator Desktop v25.3.1
    3. Open Illustrator
    4. Every 30 seconds, "Not Responding" appears and I am unable to perform any action for approximately 15 seconds

    I also received a System Compatibility Report- Video Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630. I ensured all drivers, windows, and illustrator are up to date. The issue still occurs.

  12. Graphic Styles lost, duplicated and hard to manage in general.

    I have painstakingly applied graphic styles to hundreds of icons (the final icon library is for a large CAD application and comprises nearly 2600 icons) but all of a sudden, the styles are not recognised any more. Objects are still graphically the same but when I select an object, the styles panel does not light up where it should.
    I have been having trouble getting graphic styles to work properly with styles getting duplicated and the very clunky way of saving and reapplying graphic styles to objects. This issue just makes me think I shouldn't bother. What are Graphic Styles…

  13. Symbol transformation "Reset" button sometimes greyed out

    Illustrator 25.3.1 on MacOS Big Sur 11.4

    I have several instances of a Symbol on my Artboard, and each has been transformed.

    Some of these instances displays the "Reset" button when I select them, some others don't, and I have no choice but to use the Symbol panel. Why??!?

  14. Export for screens scale problem

    Sometime ago, I entered 0.2x in the scale field in the Export for Screens dialog. Now, in all documents, even if I set the scale to 1, I get the 0.2x scale. Even in new documents! I have even tried to delete the scale definition, it always comes back as 0.2x

  16. Illustrator v 25.3.1 on Mac Big Sur 11.4 Drag n drop multiple photos not dropping

    Adobe support support recommended I post here. When dragging multiple images from Photos, it grabs all images, but only drops 1 image. Copy and paste doesn't work either.

  18. Placed image was resized automatically

    I had encounter the issue where the aspect ratio (heights and width) of the placed images .psd was changed when the same file was reopen.

    As attached, 1.png was the originally placed image size.
    After the file was closed and reopen, the aspect ration of the image changed as shown in 2.png

    Please note that the original image was not edited in any way.

  19. Imported objects loosing color from brush and swatch

    objects imported into another illustrator file loose their colors in both preview and swatches. We build items we produce by bring in standard objects that represent items we use over and over. Since the upgrade to 25.3.1, when we import those objects, the color is removed, does not happen in 25.2.3.

    macOS 11.4
    Illustrator 25.3.1 problem app
    Illustrator 25.2.3 no issue

    copy a lace object from sample to another file and it will loose its color

  20. Copy and Paste

    Observation
    • If a User copies text from Illustrator and attempts to paste that data (such as a very detailed and random artboard range) into the Range field of a Export dialogue box they will be unable to paste that information

    Results
    • User is forced to paste the text into a Browser address bar (for example) and copy it again for the paste function in the Range field to work

    Expected Results
    • A User could copy and paste easily within any dialogue box from any source
