Scatter Brush - Can't modify settings after initial setup
Hello,
I'm running Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.0.0 on Windows 10.0There seems to be a bug with the Scatter Brush tool, which I've encountered in the past few releases.
The "OK" button in the Scatter Brush Settings dialog doesn't seem to work; clicking it doesn't update the brush to your new settings. Instead, the dialog remains open as if the OK button was disabled (or the click wasn't registered). The same thing happens when there are no changes made to the options in the dialog...it simply won't register the OK button. Only the Cancel button closes this dialog (and no…

Spot color names are incorrect in other applications
I'm using Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) in Japanese.
Opened an Illustrator 2020 file containing spot colors with Japanese names in Acrobat or place it to InDesign, the names are not as expected.
I can use English names for the new ones, but changing InDesign ink settings in all existing files can be difficult.

Gradient gets rasterized into a different looking one when used for mapping with 3D Revolve
While in 3D Revolve, I am trying to apply a created Symbol onto a half circle with a gradient. Within the dialog box, there is a message that says "the gradient will be rasterized", which changes my gradient from "red to black gradient" to a "balk and white gradient". That changes my whole effect.

Crashing every 10 minutes or less
Hello,
I am currently doing a piece of art on illustrator and it keeps crashing every 10 minutes or sometimes less. Something that should take me an hour or less is now taking me currently 3 hours and I'm not even half way through because it keeps crashing and it's frustrating that I pay so much for something and I can't even do what I want because it doesn't want to work or allow me to do work. It's even more frustrating having to stop and save every minute or so when this all can be prevented.
I hope there…

Illustrator Not Holding Clipping Masks
Hello. I'm not sure if this is just an "operator error" or if this is a bug in the new Illustrator 2020, but every time I reopen my AI file the clipping masks have been removed. Is there a fix for this? It started happening when I updated to 2020.
Thanks in advance!

Paste in Place displays Perspective Grid widget
I have Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator 2019 23.1
Every time I copy something and try to paste in place, I get a long amount of random actions all by itself, and it ends with the perspective thing in the corner.
I've had to do a shortcut key replacement for that function.2 votes -

Overprint is not maintained after making PDF - separation files are not correct
When using spot colors to overprint, the PDF files show knockouts in Acrobat. For example, when overprinting a 10% black square over a Pantone square, the result is a knockout, even though the attributes are set to overprint.
When correcting for this I tried the Transparency feature to make a 10% gray, but the result is an overprint with a screen for each plate where the overprint should occur. (see attached image) The only correct plates were produced by printing a postscript file and using distiller to create the plates. This did not happen is previous versions.

V24.0.1 on PC - Very slow and takes forever to save for a simple file
This is beyond usable. Trying to save a job and Illustrator is unresponsive and takes approx. 5min to save a simple file.
Tool use is very sluggish and when changing to the type tool, the program is unusable and greys out becoming unresponsive. Have opened in illustrator diagnostic mode and it just crashes when trying to exit.
Have turned off save in background and Optimize file open and save times on slow networks all to no avail.Trying to exit also takes forever and just greys out.

Can't save. Crashes constantly. Lose Transform controls randomly and have to restart.
2020 is awful. When it's not crashing, it's telling me it's crashed. Now it refuses to save my work and copying and pasting it's only picking up half what I copy. Awful, awful. I'm on a 2019 Macbook pro.

Double "replace" dialog boxes, no file name highlighting
When I use "Save a Copy" to render EPS files of multiple artboards, I get a "Replace" dialog box as the first AND last of four dialog boxes. Previous OS had just one Replace instance as the last step – same as Photoshop's "Legacy Save for Web."
In addition – and this is much more frustrating and tedious – the file name is not highlighted, forcing me to use the mouse to activate the dialog box (tabbing doesn't work) and then select the text apart from the file tag. Having to manually select text to begin file naming is RIDICULOUS.

Stroke stays black even when changing colour
Stroke stays black even when colour is changed. Only way to make it another colour is to expand appearance, which means losing original unless saved off the artboard
2 votesProbably it’s the same problem as this one, and you have accidentally created a complex appearance either for the layer or the path. You have to open the Appearance panel and study the stack of attributes.
