  1. OSX Sonoma 14.1.2 closes Illustrator 28

    I searched and couldn't find this issue. Currently using OSX 14.1.2 on a MBP.

    16-inch 2021, M1 Max, 64GB mem, Sonoma 14.1.2

    I keep getting the following error from the OS:

    "Updated required for "illustrator"
    This version of "illustrator" is not compatible with macOS 14 or later and needs to be updated. Contact the app developer for more information.

    FWIW, this happened on the 2023 version of ai as well, so I updated it to the latest 2024 just to be safe. I'm still getting the above error though, which is funny because there's nothing I could update to. So…

  2. Screen glitching when moving cursor

    Any idea what's going on here? Whenever I open older files to edit information I'm getting a strange glitching when moving the cursor. It doesn't matter if I switch to Overprint or Preview - the issue immediately comes back. I've also Quit and Restarted and the problem still persists.

    Running 28.0 on macOS Ventura 13.6.1

    So, so bored of these constant issues when updating your software.

  4. Arrow keys stopped moving selected objects

    Selected objects are not moving with arrow keys (this was working fine earlier today). In the history panel it shows the actions as "Move" when I press the arrows, but the objects do not move with this method.

    I had not changed any settings, verified the layers were not locked, tried it with a single object and got the same result. I tried this on both my Mac keypad and my bluetooth keyboard, so it isn't an issue with the keys themselves. I restarted my Mac twice and it has failed to resolve.

    Additionally, objects have also been randomly selected…

    This got solved by changing the Keyboard Increment parameter in Preferences > General back to a normal value.

    Since it’s the first field that gets active when the dialog is called, it seems like it’s very easy to change it accidentally. It’s not the first time this is reported, so if it happened to you — please try to see if you can recreate the problem intentionally.

  5. Unable to select rasterized grayscale images

    This has been a bug for a while now...

    When trying to select/drag rasterized Grayscale images (rasterized in Illustrator), the image is unselectable — the only way to select the image is to go into Wireframe mode and click the bounding box. This doesn't seem to be the case with RBG or Bitmap rasterized images, only grayscale.

  7. Fill opacity, rgba color results in no color

    Released Version of Illustrator (28.0)
    Problem Description:
    I can change the opacity of an element fill using fill-opacity attribute or by adding the fill like this: fill="rgba(12, 12, 12, 0.5)". But seems rgba color is not recognizable by AI, we see such element as black. If we save this as svg (save as -> svg), we can see that such elements do not have color at all, that why we see them as black.
    Workaround: To avoid it we can use fill-opacity instead of rgba. But then, if we save such svg in the way like file -> export ->…

  11. Align to artboard can't change to Align selected objects

    The default Align Artboard button cannot be changed to Align selected objects.
    The version I am using is 28.0, mac system. I can't perform the point alignment operation, it will automatically perform the 'Align Artboard' function. 'Align' is a frequently used feature, so please fix it as soon as possible. Thanks

  16. SVG embedded images not showing up in 2023 version

    I am having an issue with reopening an already-saved .svg file, with an embedded image in the file. The image is not showing up when I re-open it in Illustrator 2023. This has me thinking that I did not save the svg correctly - choosing for the image within the svg to be embedded - when I go to File<Save As<SVG. But when I go to check the same file in Illustrator 2022 or in Inkscape, the embedded image is in fact there.
    So this makes me think this is an Illustrator 2023 bug?

  18. Can't manually enter values within the Properties toolbar

    When I go to edit a value in the properties bar (for example, angle or stroke size), nothing appears when I type. This problem doesn't exist after reloading Ai but starts occurring shortly after working with the program. The values are still editable using cursors, but make design work very difficult since I can't simply type the angle, width, stroke size, etc.. that I want.
