Inaccurate graph size
Have seen this in versions of Adobe Illustrator since cs4 to cc 2021
Currently running on Mac OS 11 Big Sur.When you click with the graph tool the graph generated does not match the dimensions entered. I have had results that vary from 1 to 2 points smaller but not always the same though always 1, 1.5 or 2 points. If it is one of the circular graphs it is even worse with the graph being 12.5% smaller plus -1.5 points. I have clients who request exact graph sizes and it takes 2 or three attempts to get it…

Strokes in intermediate blend steps don’t inherit Gradient Along / Across Stroke property
When blending 2 gradient (along / across stroke) paths, the newly generated paths do not keep the gradients 'along / across stroke' but switch to gradients 'within stroke' - can you fix it so the new blend retains the gradients along stroke?

Locking everything exept one vector
Hi, a week ago I updated from Ai 2015 to Ai 2021 and had this issue a couple of times, while isolating a vector I get stuck in it, everything else becomes grayish and I can't get back in to all the layers, I can interact with them however there's gray over all of them, hope the image explains it better. If I save the file and close it and open it, it's still the same problem, i guess its some feature, but i don't know how to deactivate it and haven't found any help online. Thanks!

Variable font support for SVG Export
Adobe Illustrator now supports variable font files where all the font style variants are incorporating into a single OpenType file.
When exporting a text element in an illustrator file if using a font collection (such as Helvetica) where there are individual font files for different font weights, (thin, regular, medium, bold, ....) the text element is exported as:
<text class="cls-12" transform="translate(121.64811 386.60663)"><tspan class="cls-13">A</tspan><tspan x="75.51965" y="0">p</tspan><tspan class="cls-14" x="146.07617" y="0">p</tspan><tspan class="cls-15" x="213.65833" y="0">. 18 t/m 21</tspan></text>
which means the text can be modified in the SVG.
If you export a text element that uses a variable font such as Bahnschrift, the text…

Can't input negative values in fields
When trying to input a negative value (in leading, kerning, tracking, any transform, etc) or perform subtraction in an input field, the number either switches to a positive value or doesn't make a change and plays the system error sound. This is in the latest version of Illustrator on OS X 10.14.6

smart guides not working in clipping mask
I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.
I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

option key keps getting stuck randomly
MacOS Catalina
switching between tools via shortcuts,
the option Key shouldn't be aktive when it's not pressed.
The key sometimes act like its pressed when it's not.
The option key keeps getting stuck. A hardware problem could already be ruled out, that the problem also exists on another keyboard. The problem also occurs in Photoshop. I work with a Wacom Cintiq Pro (latest driver).2 votes -
Weird Facets in Gradient Fill
Issue, rather than "Idea". Using a simple, gradient fill, in Illustrator CC 25.2.1, I'm getting these weird facets, rather than just a smooth transition. Anyone else have the same issue?

Background Save works but it thinks it's not working! v25.2.1
I'm having an issue described in an older bug report (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39029392-background-save-works-but-it-thinks-it-s-not-worki): open files stay marked as having unsaved changes when they are saved.
This is reportedly fixed in v25 but I'm on 25.2.1 and have this exact same problem. Not with every file and not every time, but it happens.

Dragging across visibility icons in Separations Preview panel doesn’t work
You have to turn off each color individually in separation preview .
With Photoshop you only need to click on a color. Hold down the mouse button and then pull it up or down to switch more colors on or off. So if you want to switch 10 colors off and on again, for example, you have to click the mouse a total of 20 times.
With Photoshop you only need two clicks for this process.

Can’t zoom out after editing a text
When I zoom in on text with a magnifying glass.
Then switch to the text tool, change the text and switch back to the magnifying glass, then I can no longer zoom out with the Alt key.
I have to switch to the selection tool first. And then back to the magnifying glass to zoom out with the alt key. Does that make any sense?
When I want to zoom out with the Alt key, the hand always appears to move.
Only when I have switched to the selection tool and then back to the magnifying glass, the minus symbol…2 votes
