Pressing keyboard arrows while 'Snap to grid' is on nudges art by two instead of one
I can't use keyboard arrows to move art around the document because AI almost every time moves art at 2mm instead of 1mm, which is set in preferences.
- Create document, e.g. A4, with units set as mm
- Set grid 10×10 — it's my mostly used grid, because I live in metric world
- Set 'Keyboard increment' to 1mm
- Enable 'Snap to grid'
- Draw custom-sized rectangle
- Press Up or Down several times and watch how coordinates change
Expected:
Rectangle's Y should go like this:
55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61...Actual result:
Rectangle jumps like this:
55, 57, 58, 61, 63,…18 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 24.3.0 which is available worldwide now.

Artboard selection bugs in Illustrator CC 2018
There are a number of bugs related to Illustrator CC 2018 losing artboard selection (no highlight in the artboard list in the artboard panel), and losing sync between actual artboard selection and displayed (highlighted) selection. These include:
When copying an artboard by dragging and dropping it onto the New Artboard icon in the Artboard panel, and then dragging that new artboard to a new position in the artboard list, the selection is displayed on the new artboard in its new location, but in fact, the original artboard is still selected. Double-clicking on the new artboard does NOT move selection to…

Error in Startup Script - Line 2798: { No matching closing brace found
I am getting an error on launch of Illustrator, seems to have begun with the latest update.
Error in /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CC/Adobe Photoshop/photoshop_v2025.jsx
Line 2798: {No matching closing brace found
The error can be dismissed and the application runs fine after that.
Note that this is an error reffering to a startup script named "Adobe Photoshop", but the error comes up when launching Illustrator. Interestingly, there is no error when launching Photoshop.

Distribute Spacing options not available in keyboard shortcut list
When the Distribute Spacing options were added to the Align panel, they were not added to the Keyboard Shortcuts panel. They remain unavailable in v28.0.x. This is an oversight, obviously, that should not be hard to remedy but will make life much easier for those of us who rely on kbscs and/or auxiliary devices like Stream Deck, Logitech G-keys, or Xencelabs' Quick Keys, etc.

Random delay when running script via command line
When you run a script via the command line, sometimes there is a pause between launch and execution. The duration of this pause is always different.
It would be nice if there was no pause at all.

縦組みのアキ量設定が水平比率の影響を受ける
ver.22以降(確認できた範囲)
macOS 10.13〜11.6.7(確認できた範囲)縦組みのテキストに対して「アキを挿入(右・下)」を設定した上で水平比率を操作するとその比率に応じてアキ量が変化する。
- テキストツールにて縦組みテキストを入力する。
- 文字パネルにて「アキを挿入(右・下)」を設定する。 3.. 当該テキストに対して水平比率を設定する。
- 文字の縦幅は変わらないがアキ量が水平比率に比例して増減する。
期待する結果
縦組みのアキ量は水平比率の影響を受けない。実際の結果
縦組みのアキ量設が水平比率の値によって変化する。回避手段
アキ量設定を使わずにトラッキングによる調整を行う。これは単純なバグです。縦組み時に水平比率を調整しても文字の天地は変化しません。しかし、アキ量(上・左)、アキを挿入(右・下)ともに水平比率の値の影響を受けます。横組みと縦組みを同様に処理していると考えられます。

Area Type text stretching when transformed with another shape
When I transform an Area Type text box using the handles, it resizes the Area and the type fits according to paragraph settings - which is what I want from Area Type — (first part of video).
But if I transform at the same time as another shape, selecting both at the same time - the type resizes like point type, stretching and scaling with the box, which is not how area type should behave - (second part of video).
So I can't transform an Area Type text box at the same time, for instance, as a holding shape that…

テキストの半角スペースに点が現れる
Ver 25.3.1 windows
25.3.1にバージョンアップすると突然テキストの半角スペースにピリオドが現れました。
1. テキストに半角スペースを打つ

Straight line extension does not work if the adjacent point has a handle
I have a shape.
Some points of it have handles, some are not.
For example, two points adjacent to the the bottom-most one: the right one has no handles, the left one has one.
This, for some user-unfriendly reasons, matters and dictates Ai to draw an extension or not to.
If I grab bottom point and try to move it along the right segment’s virtual extension, AI draws it for me and I can snap the point to it — 'because the adjacent point has no handles'.
If I move this same point along the basically same straight left segment,…17 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.3.1 which is available worldwide now.

Moving artboard with locked layers prompt warning
In 24.1, every time I move the artboard with my layers locked, I get the warning: "Any hidden or locked objects in the artboard will not be moved." EVERY TIME!
There is no "Don't show me this again" option and I am constantly adjusting artboards to fit customer's artwork.17 votes -
After redo is different from before undo
The reproduction procedure is as follows.
1. Create a point text containing two or more paragraphs
2. Change the transformation reference point to a position other than the default position
3. Transform it with the scaling toolAt this point, remember the state of the artboard.
Undo (command + Z) once.
Then redo (command + shift + Z).
It should be different from before undo.I feel very threatened because I often do this by hand.
in Japanese
再現手順は以下の通りです。
1. 段落を2つ以上含むポイントテキストを作成
2. 変形の基準点をデフォルトの位置以外に変更
3. それを拡大・縮小ツールで変形ここまで進めたら、アートボードの状態をよく覚えてください。
一回取り消し(command+Z)します。
そしてやり直し(command+shift+Z)します。
取り消し前と様子が違っているはずです。私はこれを手癖でよくやるのでとてもこわいです。

Bounding Box resetting automatically if a compound path is included in a selection — ruins workflow
Normally in Illustrator, the bounding box is locked to the orientation of an object until you manually reset the bounding box. I am experiencing a bug in Adobe CC 23.0.3 where the bounding box of an object, or group of objects in this case, resets immediately after a rotation. This prevents me from executing the standard task of rotating an object, then scaling it horizontally using the bounding box to create the correct perspective (see video).
The reason I'm confident in reporting this as a bug is because I have never experienced this before and have been using Illustrator since…

Center points are not visible
Guide objects have lost their center points. I have "Show Center" turned on in the Attributes panel and "Show Edges" turn on, and still, the Center-Points are not visible on object guides.
Object guides used to all have center-points showing all the time, as long as the guides were turned on. Now the center-points are missing.

Variable Font not working properly
Hello, I am a type designer and am working on a variable script font. The variable font file work fine everywhere else except in Adobe products.
It appears the sidebearings aren't adjusting with the changes in width. Very odd. You can see whats happening in the first file. The second is on the Axis Praxis website.
I've spoken with Glyphs App developers and they said it's a glitch with Illustrator, so I wanted to bring it to your attention.
