  1. Loading an external swatch library file freezes the app every time.

    Loading a external swatch library freeze the app every time. Loading swatches from a file does not.
    The freeze replicated by different swatch library files. Both my swatch library files .ase and files are offline. My frozen work file is in Creative Cloud.

  2. 와콤타블렛 PTH 660 연결시 일러스트레이터 다운 후 복구창으로

    와콤타블렛 PTH-660을 연결(블루투스나 USB연결 모두)하여 일러스트레이터를 사용시 어느정도 시간이 지나면 자동으로 일러스트레이터가 종료되고 다시 일러스트레이터를 실행시키면 복구할 파일을 복구하라는 팝업창이 뜬채로 실행됨. 한두번이 아니고 계속적으로 발생하기에 타블렛을 사용할 수가 없을 정도임. 충돌 문제 검토 부탁드립니다.
    일러스트레이터 최신업데이트 버전이며, 폰트관련 부분도 체크가 완료되었고, 아울러 초기화도 여러번 해봤으나 해당 증상은 계속되고 있습니다.

  3. Grey rendering/latency issues MAC Ventura

    since updating my MAC to Ventura I have been experiencing what seems to be graphics issues on Illustrator.

    I am able to move the cursor over these grey areas which begins to erase them, however the next time I move positions more grey areas appear.

  4. Stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to

    The stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to (transform="scale(sx sy)") if the scale values (sx, sy) are different. Stroke width is not scaled if the scale values are the same. Ideally stroke should not be scaled.
    Workaround for the browser is to use vector-effect='non-scaling-stroke' attr, but it is still not being supported by AI.

    This need some clarification.

    I don’t think I can understand the problem.

    Illustrator is capable of scaling strokes with object, it the corresponding option is checked. When it’s enabled, it does not differ between uniform and non-uniform transformations. So, is it a feature request and not a bug report, or am I missing the point of it?

  6. Persistent Save to cloud dialogue

    I don't want to save to Cloud, but with the 27.2 update I get this dialogue every time I create a new file and then hit 'save' or 'save as'. I clicked 'don't show again' but this option appears in the second dialogue box, not the first, so now I get the 'save to creative cloud' dialogue every time and have to click on 'on your computer' and then wait a few seconds for the 'save as' dialogue.

  9. Bug: duplicate color names

    MacOS 12.6.2
    Illustrator 27.1.1
    The issue: one can create multiple swatches with the same name.
    Create a few non-global swatches or use existing ones. Go inside the swatches and edit the names to the same value for all swatches — no error is triggered.

  11. Keyboard shortcuts not working with KLIM keyboard on ASUS laptop

    I have just installed a new (external) on my ASUS laptop and now all of the keyboard shortcuts that require three keys to be held, such as send to back, are not working. They work on the laptop keyboard.

    Shortcuts work in all other programs (such as word and online)

    I have updated all drivers, updated CC and also reinstalled the program. I have checked sticky keys are on and filter keys off. I don't know what else to do - it is severely impacting workflow.

  12. Arrow keys cancel file saving

    Illustrator v. 26.3.1 on 16 inch, 2021 M1 MBP running MacOS Ventura(13.0.1).
    When I save a file, I typically arrow over to the end of the autofilled filename to remove the end of it and add what I want to add per my file naming system. However, when I press any arrow key on my keyboard, the "save file" dialogue box closes, and I have to initiate the process over again. No other keys cause this issue to occur, only the arrow keys. I do use an external keyboard, but in testing, the arrow keys on the built-in keyboard produce…

  14. Shape expanded automatically bug

    This is a bug I am experiencing. As soon as make a change on a shape it gets expanded automatically and this is not reversible if a pathfinder mode has been used (minus front for example). I am getting a small grey notification saying "shape expanded". I have not found a way to turn this off but it makes Illustrator un-usable for my purposes. I am attaching a screenshot of the notification that appeared as soon as moved one of the rectangle anchor points. Please help me as this is a business show-stopper for me. :(

  15. Linked Files Crop changing when reopening a file

    I linked .ai files placed with a "bounding box" crop from the import options. When this file with the linked file is closed and reopened, the links already placed automatically switch to a "media" crop. This causes the linked file to appear much smaller.

  16. Certain colors generate #000000 HEX values in Color Picker dialog

    Bug in 2023 (v 27.1.1) Illustrator. Certain colors, when examined with the Color Picker, shows HSB rightness of 0, RGB all 0, and Hex code of #000000. See GIF.

    This is a pretty severe bug with other downstream consequence. Dragging these "broken" colors into swatches, for example, generates pattern swatches instead of process color swatches.

    1. MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (M1 pro)
    2. 2023 (v 27.1.1)
    3. examining colors by double-clicking the Fill color square
    4. expected: always have valid HSB/RGB/hex returned. Bug: some colors give incorrect values.
    5. See screenshot & video at https://vimeo.com/786775139

  18. Illustrator not saving properly

    Saving our work is a MAJOR issue! Since updating, I'm having different ones. Sometimes when I command/save, then reopen that file, the last change I made is gone. Now, when I do a save as, Illustrator only saves part of the file name I typed in..

    Attached are screen shots showing the file name I try to save it as, and the incorrect file name it saves as.

    WTF is up with this stuff? I'm no programmer, but how is it that major bugs like this come up with every new version? I am spending more time working around Adobe…
