  1. Tooltips in Recolor Artwork Panel are Backwards

    It seems to me that the tooltips in the Recolor Artwork panel are backwards.

    The left button's tooltip tells me that that button controls Saturation and Hue, but once selected, the slider's tooltip tells me that it adjusts Brightness, which it actually does.

    The right button's tooltip tells me that that button controls Brightness and Hue, but once selected, the slider's tooltip tells me that it adjusts Saturation, which it actually does.

    If I am misunderstanding something, then the tooltips are at the very least extremely confusing.

    I'm using Illustrator 25.2.1 on macOS 10.14.6.

  2. Simplify Curve not able to remove anchor points on straight lines

    Ik think the algorithm needs a rework, since it is not able not detect all anchor points on straight lines.

    See screenschots.

  3. 勝手にファイルが保存されてしまう

    Adobe Illustrator 2020の一部のaiデータで保存する前にファイルと閉じようとすると、勝手に保存されてしまいます。環境設定の自動保存はすべてチェックを入れて外して適用したのですが変わりません。
    ファイルはクラウドドキュメントではなく、NASに配置しているファイルです。

    しかも発生するときは何度か再起動すると発生しなくなりますので、バグではないかと考えています。

  6. Guide sensibili, pannello laterale, chiusura dei singoli file

    Sistema Operativo: MacOS Mojave Versione 10.14.6
    Versione Adobe Illustrator: 25.2.3

    Le guide sensibili non funzionano nonostante siano abilitate nelle impostazioni, non si riesce ad allineare gli oggetti, o ad agganciare due punti, senza l'utilizzo obbligatorio delle normali guide.

    Il pannello laterale ridotto molte volte non permette di aprire le singole finestre e costringe ad espandere il pannello o a riavviare il programma più e più volte.

    Se si aprono più file contemporaneamente e se ne vuole chiudere uno solo li chiude comunque tutti indifferentemente causando non pochi problemi.

  7. Copy/Paste from AI to PS or ID scales object to 1/10

    My typical design process involves creating an AI document with multiple artboards, sometimes dozens, so that I can experiment with several options and iterations on those options. With the latest versions of CC, copying a vector object and pasting into either PS or ID ends up scaling that object down to a tenth the size of the original. I've recently been made aware that AI might create a larger pasteboard to accommodate the number of artboards, but I'm unsure why that would have an affect on the scale of a vector object. I keep all my raster and resolution settings…

  8. Last version super slow and partly broken

    First of all, Illustrator needs almost 1-2 to start since the latest update. Before it was, like Photoshop, just a matter of some seconds.
    When started, everything feels sluggish, changing the font for a text field is not possible anymore and I don't know how many more problems. The whole UI makes a somewhat broken impression, the cursor in textfields doesn't show and a whole lot more and is very unresponsive, takes seconds to react.

    This is with a high-end setup with 64GB of RAM (of which 32GB are free when showing this behaviour, so it's not RAM shortage causing…

  9. Element appears in Illustrator

    MacOS Mojave - versão 10.14.6
    Illustrator 2021 - 25.2.3
    We received a customer’s file in PDF. We always work the file in Illustrator.
    In this case, when we opened the file, no error message appears that the file had been modified outside Illustrator. We proceed with the job. Problem - one element that doesn’t exist in ACROBAT, appears in Illustrator. I believe this is a bug, because usually the message is shown.
    This problem gave us a big complaint by the customer because that element is forbidden in the Portuguese market.

  10. Add Anchor Point shortcut doesn't work

    Pen tool. When I want to use the option 'add anchor point' with the shortcut "+" (the default one), it opens the bucket instead.

    I check the shortcut options and it is correct (+ for add anchor point, not bucket's).

    Release 25.2.1 64 bit / Windows 10 build 19041.508. Spanish version.

  12. Selection Highlight stops working

    After working on a file for several minutes or hours ... the selection highlight feature stops working. The active selection is not highlighted. Sometimes, if I move it around, is starts to work. Other times, it does not work even if I move it around. It gets annoying when I'm trying to work fast and I do not know what I have selected to apply a modification.

    Seems to go away when I restart AI, but it is not practical be restarting AI every-time I open a new file to work on or copy from.

    AI 25.2.1, MacBook Pro 16",…

  14. Problems when saving first time after update

    Hello everyone,

    After this new update I got a weird bug: every time I try to save a file it gets me the error "Can't save the document <document name>. This file cannot be found" (screenshot attached). After I clicking save again it works just fine. It's not a big of a deal, but is really annoying get that popup every time I open a document, do some modifications and try to save again.

  17. Illustrator Closes multiple menu items

    Dear Adobe

    I have recently come across a bug when multiple files are open in illustrator. When you close one of them it closes them all.

    Please can you kindly investigate this. It is an absolute pain when saving out multiple logo files.

    It might be my latest software update

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Best wishes

    Jay

    Look foward to heariong from you

  18. Swatch filtering

    Hello,
    In previous versions of Illustrator, entering a Pantone number would highlight the swatch. Now in Illustrator 2021, it filters out every other swatch so I can't "browse" for adjacent colors.

    I don't even know what setting to look for.

    What's up with that?

    Thank you,

    Lynda

  19. GPU support crashes reproducibly on different Macs (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.x)

    The hole GPU support with Illustrator 2021 is broken on the Mac with Big Sur since the release of CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.2.3). GPU support works with a blank document. The GPU support crashes reproducibly: switch on rulers > GPU crashes, open document with guides > GPU crashes, double click on grouped elements > GPU crashes, resize artboard > GPU crashes. Several upates went by without help. Every (!) colleague I have spoken to has struggles with the same bug since the release of Ai 2021. Both of my Macs (iMac i9 with Vega48 & M1…

  20. Type on path shifting placement

    I've updated to Illustrator 2021 (version 25.2.2), now when I open files from the 2020 version of Ai, type that was sitting on a curved path is now shifting all over the place. For example in the image attached the type should be full displayed and centres. This is happening on many files and is a major issue! This needs fixing!
