  1. Illustrator will not let me align my art manually

    I am working a normal piece(s) of art. I did one exactly like this yesterday on the same artboards, different client. I am unable to manually align the art to the artboard or the bleed guides as shown first image. I decided to shutdown Illustrator and the PC and then start them again. When opened I tried to move the art again and it still will not let me align the art. I disposed of the art on the artboard. Opened the clients art, copied it and pasted it in my layers to the artboard. Again I tried to manually…

  3. Kerning one pair effects the spacing of other random pairs.

    I'm having an issue when I go to kern a letter pair, the kerning effects the spacing between other pairs.

    I believe this similar bug was reported for CS5 but I am using CC 2018 22.0.1

    I have tried:

    • Clearing all Illustrator settings at startup.
    • Making sure text is not centered or justified
    • Using default font Myriad Pro with default settings.
    • Selecting all letters and zeroing out the kerning.
    • Turning off standard ligatures in Open Type

    Still this issue persists.

    Attached is an animated gif of the issue.

    It's not a bug, it's about hinting.

    When you change kerning it forces other letters to nudge a bit. And because AI (as any other tool) already nudges all letters on screen before drawing them to make outlines look clear on screen grid, this results visual nudge of those letters who happen to fall on other side of their previous position.

    Try to apply Outline Effect to this text and then kern. This will negate hinting.

  4. Weird Square I Can't Get Rid Of

    I have this weird square on one of my files (top right panel). It's not connected to any of my layers, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.
