Ink value changes to 0 while adjusting color
When selecting multiple items with a different color mix, values changes to 0 when adjusting a single ink while it shouldn't change. In older versions this doesn't occur.
In the screencap, the Cyan value changes to 0 so the colormix changes completely.
Operation version: MacoOS Ventura 13.2.1
Version Illustator: 27.3.13 votesWe have fixed the issue and a build with the fix is available in Beta.

Illustrator 28.4 does not preserve SVG object hierarchy
Starting with Illustrator 28.4, the object hierarchy is not preserved when saving and re-opening an SVG file. Many groups are created for no apparent reason.
See this link for examples: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-28-4-svg-export-does-not-preserve-hierarchy/td-p/14871718#M3695
This makes Illustrator completely impractical for editing SVG files. I will have to stay at 28.3 until this error is fixed.
2 votesThe team has verified this current problem to be a regression break and intends to push the fix into the next Beta build.

Clipping Path Dimensions disregarded when exporting JPG in version 28.5
When using "File -> Export As" to create a JPG of your illustrator document, the size of the JPG includes artwork hidden by a clipping path and adds white space. Attached is an example where I've exported a JPG from versions 28.4.1 and 28.5. The JPG from version 28.5 added additional white space to the left, right, and top edges where artwork was hidden by a clipping path. This is not how Illustrator behaved previously. Is there a workaround?
2 votesThis is a bug similar to that one:
Rasterizing a clipped image/group of objects results in extra white space in the resulting image — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/35245114
Both are fixed in the latest Beta build and are expected to be pushed into 28.6 GA build.

Illustrator 27.9 introduces severe choppiness when panning with fingers on trackpad rather than Hand tool
When panning with the Hand tool, performance remains intact and panning is smooth. When using trackpad or mouse to move the canvas, frame rate is severely low, 10 fps, even on an empty document. This is a new issue that has existed in the past but had been resolved sometime in the past year or two.
Using a MacBook Pro with M2 Max 38-core GPU running macOS Ventura 13.5.2, the latest as of now.
This issue reduces efficiency and hampers productivity, making it unpleasant to navigate small documents and impossible to navigate large ones with multiple dartboards.
Uninstalling and re-installing…
2 votesThe fix to this issue is available in Beta 28.1 21 (and above) and Prerelease 28.0.66 (and above). Please check, if you can, and reply back if it works for you.

Insufficient data for an image
Saving as .PDF from .AI gives me this warning if I am using any type of image (.JPG, .PSD, .TIFF, .PSB) over 100MBs. When the PDF starts to open in Acrobat the warning comes up.
Machine: Mac Studio 13.5.1 (22G90)
Illustrator 27.8.1I solved the problem by going back to version 27 and exporting one of the files that I was having issues with.

AI 29.1 - Missing New Help Bar
The 29.1 update is supposed to have a new Menu Bar under Window->Help Bar but it's not there.
Using macOS Sonoma 15.1.1
1 voteHelp Bar is available only in the latest Beta (starting with 29.2) and Prerelease builds so far. As soon as the team decides it’s ready to be pushed into main build, you’ll be able to get it. At the moment you can install Beta build from CCD app, or just wait.

Livetracing Bitmaps gives results with random shades of black
Up until recently, if I used the Livetrace and Expand command on a bitmap it would produce results with only pure white and pure black, as you would expect. Now it randomly assigns values to every piece of what should be black. Instead of 100% black they are 99.29% or 99.67%. Normally I would select one piece, select all by color and move it. Now I need to click on every single piece and apply black to them. Very tedious.
1 voteKeith, the team reverted the Image Trace panel back to the more stable version. If you use 27.7 version, you can try to update to Beta, or revert to the older version, or wait until the Beta version will go stable.
