  1. Smart Guides do not work properly in large documents

    I don't know if this is a recent problem with the 2023 version on Illustrator, but when I'm working on very large documents, smart guides simply do not work. I have to zoom really close to be able to snap and align this correctly. I believe that the behavior of such functionally should be scalable and independent of zoom levels.

  3. All menu item shortcuts are grayed out

    Illustrator 2023, v27.7
    MacOS Ventura 13.2.1
    Wacom intuos pro
    Apple Magic Mouse

    at some point, all the shortcut menu items became grayed out...I can USE the actual shortcuts like CTRL+X and CTRL+V
    i can select the commands in the menu and get them to work...but it's weird... not sure if it is associated with other weird behaviors like not being able to select and move an object?

  4. Rotate around a circle changes colours and appearance

    When rotating around a center point on some angles the colours and shapes change of their own volition.

  8. Bug deletou todo o arquivo que estava salvo no pc anteriormente

    Eu estava trabalhando no arquivo há 6 horas, salvando tranquilamente, quando transformei em traçado uma imagem tudo ficou branco como se tivesse deletado tudo. Fechei e abri de novo sem salvar, quando o arquivo abriu veio todo em branco.

  12. Save Each Artboard to a Separate File - thumbnails are incorrect.

    When using the option during Save to save each artboard to its own file, the thumbnails for each of the individual files shows all the artboards instead of the the artboard being saved.

    Details of your operating system:
    Windows 11, Nvidia RTX A2000 12gb GPU, i7-12700 CPU, 64G memory

    The version of Adobe Illustrator (desktop):
    27.7

    The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
    Save a multiple artboard file using the option discussed above.

    Your expected result and the actual result:
    Each file should have a thumbnail of only it's respective artboard instead of all artboards together, which…

  13. 右クリック時のコンテクストメニューがズレる(クリック点を起点とぜず、離れた位置に表示される)

    Mac M2Pro(Mac14,12) , Ventura v13.4.1, Ai2023(27.6.1), 4Kモニタ(27inc,3200x1800表示)

    新規でAi2023(27.6.1)をインストールしたのち表題の現象が起きる。その他のバージョンのAIはインストールしていない。
    環境設定をリセットすると直るが、改めて環境を設定してしまうと同じ現象がおきる。環境設定内の何かしらの項目が悪さしてそうですが一つ一つは検証していません。
    27.7のアップデートが来ていましたのでアップデートしましたが変わらず。

    追加:Ai2023をアンインストールしてAi2022バージョンも試しに入れてみましたが、同じくなにかしら環境設定をしてしまうと設定クリアするまではズレたままです。

    OSシステムのディスプレイ設定で2560x1440に変更してみたりなど試しましたが改善しませんでした。

  14. Charter font is misrendered at small sizes

    The Italic version of the Charter font that comes standard on macOS is misrendered at small sizes by several Adobe programs, including Illustrator and Acrobat.

    Steps to reproduce on macOS:

    1. Create some text in a new document, ideally including the character "A"
    2. Set the typeface of the text to Charter Italic
    3. Simply zoom out until the "A" is shown with obvious artefacts. Zooming in again resolves the issue. See attached screenshot of the same text rendered at larger and smaller sizes, for comparison.

    Notes:

    This affects not just the "A" character, but it's the most noticeable with it. Notably, it…

  16. "unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document

    "unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document.

    Reproduce:
    1. make a document with variables. I have a mix of image and text but I don't think it matters.

    1. link multiple document objects to one variable, as is allowed within illustrator

    2. try to update the variable library with a CSV that has the same structure just different values (average use case)

    You should get a dialog warning that variable sets need to be overwritten blah blah click ok and then the error pops up. Probably forgot a nested loop would be my completely uneducated guess.

    3) Click illustrator again then select whichever the choice to open ( "Run Diagnostics" or "launch illustrator")
    4) Normally open the app
    5) After close the app, situation is the same from step1

  19. Rotate tool doesn't center

    When trying to select center while trying to rotate an object around another one, it doesn't center. It will put the center of rotation somewhere around the center of the second object. Like this everything rotated and copied is off center.

    Not sure if it is related, but when selecting several items and want to align them horizontally, it just doesn't work. It is placed off the axis (imaginary horizontal line).

  20. Can't resize objects, issue with selection tool

    Can't resize objects like images or text boxes once they have been placed. Could only use scale and rotate for resizing items. Seems the selection tool isn't working as it should, or it's illustrator itself. I've seen this seems like a recurring problem over the years
