  1. copy paste text turns to outlines.

    coy and pasting text turns random parts of it to outlines. if you option drag the text, it works fine, keeps all the text in tact. this happens even in the same document, other documents.

    makes working pretty much impossible between documents and just a pain in the same document.

  3. Illustrator not working correctly on large displays

    I am encountering numerous problems with Illustrator that I have not had before. I noticed that they all seem to revolve around things like selecting endpoints or handles for curves. Transforming elements seem to no longer align with the pointer when expanding. All of these are hard to pinpoint and I see numerous other people complaining about the same series of problems that I am having. I believe that it all has to do with Scaling on Large Screens.

    For example, I use 175% scaling on my LG 39" curved monitor. Trying to use the transform features after selecting an…

  4. Text updates only appear after moving the text box

    Editing text in a text box still shows the old text/does not show the update. Only after moving the text object does it update. New text shows on hover/while editing, but it is overlaid onto the old text. Seems like the graphics aren't refreshing as they should.

  5. 3D Materials Broken shading on repeat shapes

    When using the new-ish 3D Materials fx on a group of shapes, some of which are aligned and repeating, the lighting and shading on one or more of the shapes breaks.

    There is a workaround of adjusting the position or corner radius of the shape(s) with the issue by an imperceptible amount. It took a lot of investigating to figure that out.

  6. Paragraph Style -> Library Bug (Stroke Weight Lost)

    If you create a paragraph style with a thin outline (e.g. 0.25) different from the fill color, and then add that style to the library, the library does not record the weight assigned to the stroke (e.g. 0.25). See images. Note that "Annotations Red", and "Annotations Red Lib" are the same style, I renamed it to prevent an overwrite. As you can see, though the fill and outline colors are correct, the stroke weight resets to default.

    Also your system doesn't allow me to upload screen shots (.jpeg). Not sure what that's about. Here's a link to the my screencaps:

  7. CC Libraries Convert "/" to Groups Popup Prompt

    CC Libraries Convert "/" to Groups Popup Prompt will not go away when "back to libraries" is selected after a click on anything in libraries pops back up again preventing any access to library. After much frustration, clicked "Convert" and has now destroyed the organization of my library by creating many empty groups and arbitrarily grouping other items.

    This was a huge library that took a lot of time to build, so I would love if it could be restored to its original stated before this "improvement".

  9. No "Smallest File Size" option in dropdown menu when saving PDF

    My only options for saving a PDF are "Custom" and "Illustrator Default" I've lost "Smallest File Size" and "Press Quality" options.

    I need to save small PDF versions in order to send in emails ALL day, so this is a big issue for me.

    OS Monterey 12.3 , and beta version of Ai that's newer than Ai 2022...
    BECAUSE Ai 2022 won't let me save ANY files to my computer (I've checked to make sure it had permission.) It's a HUGE problem, that basically makes my job impossible to do.

  10. 同一ファイル内にドキュメントをドラッグ&コピーした時にコピー元のドキュメントのテキストスレッドに異常が発生する件

    CC2022を使用しています。
    テキストスレッドで作成したレイヤーを含むファイル内で、ドラッグ&コピーで新規のドキュメントを作成すると、コピー元のドキュメントのテキストスレッドの最後に文章が勝手に追加されてしまう現象が発生しました。(コピーした方のドキュメントのテキストスレッドには異常は出ないです。)

  11. Illustrator can not save

    I run Illustrator 26.1 on a 2019 MacBook Pro with macOS 12.3.
    Illustrator can not save any new files!!? The saving window appears but the Save button is inactive and nothing in the left menu works. I can save to Cloud but not locally. Basically the whole Save-window is inactive. The only way to close the window is through shortcut CMD + "."
    It "feels" like I don't have access to my Mac?
    I can save existing documents (but not Save As).
    I have tried to reinstall Illustrator and reset settings (CTRL, OPT, COMM at startup) but nothing helps.
    Please…

  12. Old illustrator files opening distorted and flattened on 1 layer

    Lots of crazy things happening since updating Illustrator to 2022 from the 2020 version. Text on ellipse paths are uneditable, text on ellipse paths are misaligned, and layers are flattened.

    No issues with files that don't have ellipse paths so not sure if this is a text on path issue or a ellipse issue.

  13. 貼り付けたテキストの末尾に不明な何かが混入する現象について

    【OSおよび Adobe Illustrator (デスクトップ版) のバージョン】
    Windows10 v21H2
    2020:24.3.2 発生しない
    2021:25.2.x 発生する
    2021:25.4.2 発生する
    2022:26.1 発生する

    【問題が発生したときに実行していた手順】
    1. メモ帳等の別のアプリケーションにある書式情報のないテキストをコピーする
    2. Illustratorにて、テキストポイントやテキストエリアを作らずに貼り付ける

    【想定していた結果】
    手順1でコピーしたテキストがIllustrator上に貼り付けられる

    【実際の結果】
    テキストの貼り付け自体はできますが、末尾に“何か”が混入します。

    曖昧な表現になっていますが、“何か”は設定するフォントによって見えたり見えなかったりします。Arialにすると白四角で表示されます。
    アートボード上では選択やコピペができますが、検索フォームに貼り付けることはできませんし、メモ帳等に貼り付けることもできません。
    情報パネルで確認すると「Unicode:0x0000」と表示されます。

  14. Keyboard shortcuts quit working periodically?

    Occasionally while I'm in Illustrator, my keyboard shortcuts will randomly stop working for roughly 30 seconds at a time. The issue resolves without me having to restart, but it happens a couple times a day usually. I have custom shortcuts but it also happens for defaults (like cmd + s for saving). I thought it was lag at first, but I'm able to use the same commands from the drop down menus without issue.

    I'm running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 with Illustrator 25.4.4, and I have several Esko plug-ins for work.

  15. moving object manually to align with another object, moves the wrong object

    Quite often, when moving an object to snap to another object or anchor point, the moved object jumps back to its original position while the other object or even sometimes an anchor point makes the move instead

  18. Running Adobe Illustrator 2022 v26.1.0 on MacOS Monterey v12.1 and the artwork disappears when I zoom in more than 900%.

    I can use the direct selection tool to show the outline of the artwork, but the entire artwork is in the background color, grey.

  19. Blurry PNG Export

    I've used Adobe Illustrator for the best part of 7 years, and not once have any of my exports (PNG, TIFF, SVG) have been blurry until today.

    I have tried everything, read every forum, watched videos, updated, reinstalled... the list goes on... but still all my exports for my art, design and graphics all come out blurry!!!!!!!

    I don't know what has changed since the latest update or whatever it may be. It is frustrating to have all that work and not be able to have a crisp export.

    When zooming in my PNG exports they were crisp and would…

  20. Changing the color of a shape doesn't record as a change to be saved

    This bug happens when I open an AI document, select a shape and change it's color using the "Color" panel. After doing this, the "Save" option in the "File" menu is grey, meaning that's no change to be saved, which is not correct. This is a problem because multiple times I needed to open a documento just to change a color and when I hit "Ctrl + S" that change doesn't get saved.
