XD and PS defaults to open .ai files - AI files should open with Illustrator only Working in windows 10. After updating XD and Illustrator to 2019, all my existing .ai files have been defaulted to open in XD. I can use the "Open With" option to successfully open .ai files in Illustrator but the default always stays with XD no matter how many times I select Illustrator.
Uninstalled XD. AI files cannot locate Illustrator as primary software for launch.

ドロップシャドウのデフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなく4色になっている 発見はMacOS Catalina（10.15.7）ですが、Windows10でも同様でした。
Illustrator2021（25.2）のドロップシャドウにおいて、デフォルトのカラー設定がK100%ではなくC93%、M88%、Y89%、K80%になっています。RGBベースのカラー設定がCMYKモードに持ち越されているものと思われますが、印刷において事故の原因となりますので早急に修正願います。75 votes -

Opacity mask editing mode is broken, changes made are not visible unless Clip / Invert option is selected I am experiencing a very new issue with Illustrator: when I draw something upon an opacity mask, the effect is not shown in real time.
Never happened something similar before.
I'm trying different settings with CPU preview, and also the relevant flag in the preferences (Draw and modify in real time, under "Performance" tab, hte last line) but does not seem to affect.
This has been happening since the latest update.

Smart guides don't work properly It has been too long for this not to be working right yet. Smart guides aren't smart enough. When smart guides snap to something it has to be exact, not .05 pixels off. Close enough is not good enough. Also, when I drag over an object it needs to snap to that object, not some random shape clear across the pasteboard. If I have to zoom in 2600% to manually align something (which I often do) smart guides and snapping have failed. Is there some ridiculous setting I have to change to get this to work the way it's supposed…
71 votesIt’s dangerous to call things Smart... When they behave dumb, the name sound like an insult. Sadly, this is the case.
Please provide more specific cases, with video proofs, ask you colleagues to share and vote, to move this further. This is the way to force changes to things that are broken — be vocal and persistent. Thank you all and let’s hope we get heard.

Blob Brush changes size after undo operation Illustrator CC 2017.1.0
-I Select blob brush on 2pt.
-draw a bit with it
-Hit undo and the blob brush suddenly changes to a much larger size even though it says 2pt in the menu
-The only way to get it back is to go to Blob brush menu, select 1pt hit ok, then go back to blob brush menu and select 2pt again.I expect that when I hit undo the blob brush will stay the correct size
It changes size every time I hit undo

Bug in entering number values in transform panel Version: CC 22 (and has happened in previous versions)
OS: Windows 10There is a small bug that happens often when using the transform panel. I use it a lot to move and size objects with precision. Many times, I will want to move an object with the X and Y values. I will type a number, press enter and a completely different number value will automatically appear in the box and move it to that value. For example, I want to move an object to 4.25" in the Y axis and after I press enter, a value of 36.0833"…

Custom Colors convert to CMYK automatically, when we set "Effect->Blur->Gaussian Blur". When we apply Effect->Blur->Gaussian blur an object with a custom color, it will be converted to CMYK color in overprint preview mode.

2. Select it and apply Effect->Blur->Gaussian Blur.

Constrain (shift key) doesn't work with Smart Guides turned on When smart guides are on none of the constrain features (holding down shift) work properly, whether it's rotating, reflecting, etc. It just sort of jumps back to one position, often the original position, and won't move. The little magenta text that lets you know the angle etc. also goes a little crazy and looks like it's trying to display a few different words on top of each other.
