  1. Selection Tools Not Identifying Color Swatches

    Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
    Adobe Illustrator 2020

    With the new release of Illustrator 2020 we are experiencing issues with the swatches applied to art being properly identified in the Swatches panel.

    Both the Open Arrow Tool and Closed Arrow Tool are not correctly identifying color swatches applied to art when clicking and dragging to select.

    • Select Open Arrow Tool
    • Click and drag to select art

    Expected Result: Color swatch that is applied to the art will be selected in the swatch panel
    Actual result: Question mark appears in the swatch panel
    • On the same art using Open…

  2. Parts of image becomes invisible in preview mode

    Every now and then when I rotate, move or resize objects, parts of my image become invisible, like there were rectangular shaped holes cut through it. I have to go to "Outline" and back to "Preview" to make it look normal again.

    I use 23.0.3, latest Windows 10, Nvidia GTX460.

    It will take some time for font to be available inside Illustrator. Best way to check in the font has synced it to to Adobe creative cloud application and review the activity stream in Home tab.
    If it does not work even after the activity tab shows that the font was synced then either restart the Illustrator or wait for some time.

  6. Bug report: Option + dragging from CC Libraries not showing Trademark Symbol correctly

    Mac OS 15.0—Sequoia
    Illustrator 29.0.0 Desktop

    When option+dragging a logo file from Creative cloud libraries to embed into a working file, the trademark symbol/text does not outline or appear correctly (See attached image on left side). Dragging a logo into a document without modifier keys does work properly however (with using the embed function after it is placed).

    I will submit a screen recording of the issue as well. In the recording, the first method I show is option+drag (bugged), the second method I am doing is simply dragging from CC Libraries and embedding after (workaround).

    (Text is properly outlined…

  8. ズームツールが切り替わらない

    ズームツールを選択しても(ショートカット含む)、マウスポインタの表示が選択ツール(またはダイレクト選択ツール)のままで、虫眼鏡にならない。
    ただ、機能としてはズームツールになっており使用は出来る。
    ズームアウトにするとマイナス虫眼鏡になるが、ズームインにするとやはり切り替わらない。

  9. 【Illustrator 2022】ガイドに関してのバグ?の報告

    PC: Mac Book Pro (16-inch, 2019)
    OS: Monterey 12.6
    Illustrator: v26.5(2022)

    作業中、ガイドのコピーアンドペーストを行うと、確実にアプリケーションが落ちます。

    そもそも、アプリのバグなのか、私のみに発生しているのかが定かでは無いので、なんとも言えませんが、原因が知りたいです。

    よろしくお願いいたします。

    OS: Monterey 12.6 / Illustrator: v26.5(2022) / Macbook Pro 13inch 環境で検証しましたが、クラッシュは起こらず、再現ができませんでした。

    その後、まだ同じような現象が続いておりますでしょうか?

  10. 禁止処理および文字組みが表示されなくなる

    ver.26.5にアップデートすると、「禁止処理」および「文字組み」が表示されなくなる。文字組み「行末約物半角」を「なし」にしないと結構仕事に支障が来ることも多く、ver.26.4.1には「禁止処理」および「文字組み」が存在したので、現在ダウングレードをして使用中。

  11. ccライブラリ 編集が保存されても反映されない

    CCライブラリのグラフィックデータを編集中にPCをスリープさせ、
    スリープから復帰した後に作業を再開すると、データを保存しても編集内容が反映されない。
    データを閉じて再度開いてもスリープ前に最後に保存した状態で開れる。
    ライブラリのデータはバックアップが取れないので編集した部分がデータ丸ごとなくなります。

  12. Font Size reduces by 0.003 pt (bug ?)

    1. Adobe Illustrator CC 2020 (24.3, Mac), required for client delivery requirements.

    2. We have very strict font specifications. In many EPS files, the font sizes appear to reduce by .003 pt no matter which way I select and change the font size: select the element [either with a selection tool or the Text tool], change to 12 pt, deleselct, select the font element again and it's back to 11.997 pt. (see text issue mp4 attached, raw data of EPS included as well). New/recreated text elements begin behaving this way as well. This happens in specific EPS files, and to multiple users.

    cc-api-data.adobe.io is the host for Adobe storage: https://www.adobe.io/apis/creativecloud/ccstorageapi.html

    There can be a lot of reason for the uploads e.g.
    1. You area saving files to Creative cloud files
    2. Or uploading heavy files to Creative Cloud library
    3. Or some third party extensions making these calls.

  16. All pdf files in finder suddenly are called Illustrator files

    All the pdf files on my Macbook (macOS Mojave 10.14.2) are suddenly called "illustrator files" in my finder and when double clicking on them, they are opened by Illustrator (CC 2019, updated 12.12.2019). Before they have been simple pdf files which I created by Microsoft Word and which always were called "pdf file" in finder.

    We have not made any deliberate change to affect the change you mentioned.
    Please use the macOS feature to change the default application to open preview file.

  17. Guides not snappable when locked or on a locked layer

    For some reason, after updating to CC 2019 from CC 2018 today, I noticed that the smart guides won't snap to guides when you hover over them (i.e. with the pen tool) if guides are locked (which is usually the case for me since it's annoying having them unlocked and accidentally selecting them all the time) or on a locked layer. They were always recognized by the smart guides regardless of being locked or not as far as I remember in every past version of Ai. Any way to fix this back to how it was? It's super annoying to…
