  2. Selecting and moving points

    When I select a curve that has another element behind, and then try to select a point to move it, most of the time I end up selecting and element behind this point (another curve or layer). So to avoid this I end up locking all element except the one I'm working on it, if I don't end up loosing a lot of time doing this point selection over and over...
    My guess is you should establish some virtual lock while this moving operation are happening, or some priority hierarchy...
    Another problem is while I move the point I'm pressing…

  3. Converting Text to Outlines no longer creates Simple Ungroupable compound path.

    When converting text to outlines in Illustrator 27.2, the text becomes transparent, contained within a clipping mask, and ungroupable.

    Previously, the text would become a grouped compound path of the same fill color as it was as text. I could easily ungroup it.

    I now have to release the clipping mask, release compound path, and use the shape builder tool to fix the letters with holes in them that are now filled in (letters such as R, B, b, O, o, e, etc...

  7. Pinch Zoom

    Pinch zoom stops working after using it a few times, using shortcuts on the keyboard sometimes resolves the issue but now the shortcut 'zoom out' seems to not be working either. Having to go to the tool bar to zoom in and out slows down a project a lot. Hopefully this will be resolved soon, I have updated to the newest illustrator version in hopes it would fix it but it seems it's only made it worse.

    In 27.2, grayscales look brownish, and the gradient bias is very off center.

  10. Color Mismatch when copy/pasting within Ai

    In 27.2, copy/paste, while staying in Ai gives a color profile mismatch warning.

    This is weird and should never happen. It also asks to Merge color swatches.

  12. Illustrator 27 (last version) crashes

    Illustrator crashes after some minutes of use without any apparent reason. I have run any possible thing to solve it. I am just drawing with my wacom tablet, the same I have done for the last 3 years. The files are usually partially recovered, but there is no error name or code displayed.

  13. Zooming is broken when in the middles of creating a path

    I am new to illustrator but have found that on mac if you use alt/option + scroll while using the curvature tool or pen tool, it wont zoom you immediately, it will do it afterwards. if you were to do it even a little bit it wouldn't happen until you are done with the stroke. once it activates its almost seizure inducing with how fast it zooms an unzooms. I don't know if this is a mac only issue or a software issue but it can not only be annoying but just outright time wasting. i use adobe illustrator version…

  14. Properties panel shows "no selection" when object is selected

    I'm using Illustrator version 27.1.1 on windows 10 64 bit.
    When selecting and object, the Properties panel shows "no selection" and some crucial features (like the reflecting buttons) are missing.

    I'm attaching a screenshot, where you can see that there is an object selected, but it doesn't appear as such in the Properties panel.

  17. Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023

    MacOS Monterey 12.6 (21G115)
    Adobe Illustrator 2023 27.0.1

    Can't ‘Place’ in Illustrator 2023, the window to select a document is almost completely invisible, so it’s impossible to select any documents to place.
    The only way to place anything is by dragging it into illustrator from the file of origin...

    It doesn’t matter if you use the shortcut cmd+shift+P or go to File > Place, both results in the same issue, which is very annoying and frustrating.

  18. GPU preview crashes after a few minutes

    After a few minutes with an open file the screen flashes white and GPU preview support goes away. The GPU preview is greyed out. Interestingly I don't need to restart Illustrator, I just need to shut the file down an re-open it then GPU preview is back. The files affected have embedded images within them. I have an Nvidia 3080ti graphics card with an AMD 5950x running latest versions of illustrator (happens with the beta too though it did seem to last longer before the white flash) all drivers and os up to date.. Nothing to do with outline mode…

  20. Compound paths not saving

    When I make an object a compound path and then save as an SVG, when I go to open the file again, all of the compound paths have reverted to paths. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've tried an earlier version, I've done everything I can think of and still my SVG files will not retain compound paths. I'm using an M1 MacBook Pro, AI v27.2
