  3. Illustrator gets hung up when attempting to search in the help box

    Bug Fix - Clicked in help box and as soon as I started to type something I got the rotating color circle of death. I was lucky enough to escape out of it this time.

  4. カラー設定が勝手に変更される

    カラー設定が勝手に変更されます。オリジナルに設定したカラープロファイルを常に使用しているのですが、こちらが何もしていないのに「Adobe Illustration 5.5をエミュレート」に勝手に変更されます。以前のヴァージョンではこのようなことはなかったので、改善していただきたいです。

  5. Constant with the spinning beachball, long delays

    Why is selecting from the drop down menu activating the beach ball? Changing fonts takes forever. Active fonts opened with Adobe Fonts is not loading. Adobe website says fonts are active, Illustrator restarted and fonts still don't appear.

  6. Ich kann kein leeres neues Dokument mehr anlegen.

    Seit der neuen Version, ist es wohl nicht mehr möglich ein simples neues Dokument anzulegen. Ich habe es auf jeden Fall so schnell nicht gefunden und finde diese Verkomplizierung unverständlich. Stattdessen meldet sich hier Adobe Stock mit diversen Vorlagen. Wieso dieser Weg. Im Vordergrund müsste doch erst einmal die eigene Kreativität stehen, bevor man sich vielleicht von irgendwem inspirieren lässt.

  7. Illustrator 25 very low with ICC profiles other than appleRGB and sRGB

    Hi,
    Illustrator 25 and Indesign 16 are very very slow with other ICC profiles than AppleRGB and sRGB. For example, if you switch to a profile you created yourself with Eizo colour navigator, Illustrator becomes so slow that you can no longer use it reasonably. Switching to sRGB or AppleRGB is not an option because of the lack of colour binding.
    The problem also existed in Lightroom 10.1. and was fixed by the Lightroom developers in 10.2. Maybe the Illustrator teams should get together with the Lightroom teams to fix the problem.
    Here is a video showing the problem:

  10. Missing canvas

    I used basically every option just to check if that'll help. I have no idea what I've done, it just disappeared when I was trying to delete all selections. It's still the same after restarting the program. Pls help. ;-;

  11. Configuração de Cores ficou horrivel

    Depois a última atualização do illustrator, as configurações de cores ficou toda bgunçada, o programa força a opção "EMULAR ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR 6.0", e quando acesso arquivos que ja tem as cores com seus valores definidos o programa muda as cores por conta própria. Não encontrei uma maneira de desabilitar essa função.

  12. Artboards jumping across screen

    My operating system is Catalina. 10.15.7
    Illustrator CC 2021
    Apple Mac 2020 27". 40GB RAM

    I have an issue with the whole artboard juddering across the screen when I move an element in illustrator. The juddering can last 60 seconds or more.

    I am a packaging designer and use a WACOM. This only happens when the WACOM is in use, to the point I have to physically unplug it and use a mouse (not ideal) to stop it happeneing. I have spoken to WACOM who tell me they have contacted Adobe, but the issue still isn't fixed.

    Can you assist?

  13. v25.21 can't drag Illustrator window to external monitor (Windows 10 64-bit)

    Clicking and dragging the illustrator window cannot bring it from the primary monitor to the external monitor. All other windows and programs can do it my system except Illustrator.

  14. My colors keep getting dull randomly without changing settings

    This has happened repeatedly on different documents. When I select a color, I find that when I look back at the file (without closing the file) in 15-20 minutes, the colors become dull. My settings are in RGB.

  15. Syncing to Drop Box

    I am now having issues saving my illustrator files. When I try there is a notice that says "unknown error occurred."

    I was told by customer service that Creative Suite now has issues with Drop Box and we have to save our files to "downloads".

    This needs to be rectified. There has never been an issue with saving to my Drop Box before. Does Adobe plan to fixing issues?

    Adobe and Drop Box need to figure out why this is happening.
    Losing hours because can no longer save/duplicate.

  16. Gradients got broken when reopening a file

    A file I created only three months ago in an older version of Illustrator (project still ongoing) no longer shows the gradations. I spent DAYS creating. When I finally found where to get online Adobe support (that is not right), the tech had me download an older version of Illustrator as the solution. That does not seem like a solution. How do I keep these gradations in the new version? Why did they disappear? I have been a dedicated, daily user of Illustrator since 1990. I have more and more problems every year/upgrade. I used to always give your products/company…

  17. Strings that are too long per line are not rendered

    Strings that are too long in one line are not rendered

    OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
    Ai Version: 25.2.1

    This problem is probably caused by documents that are larger than about 2000px on a side.
    If the text has no line breaks and exceeds a certain font size, the text will not be displayed at all.
    Image output is also not possible.
    It is also common for this problem to occur at the same time as Adobe Fonts license errors and save errors.
    In most cases, the number of characters that stop the string from rendering is more than 1000,…

  19. separation preview

    You have to turn off each color individually in separation preview .
    With Photoshop you only need to click on a color. Hold down the mouse button and then pull it up or down to switch more colors on or off. So if you want to switch 10 colors off and on again, for example, you have to click the mouse a total of 20 times.
    With Photoshop you only need two clicks for this process.
    Why isn't this done at Illustrator?

  20. copying from more than one layer

    On Macbook, Big Sur OS, Illustrator V25.2.1, CC.

    Illustrator only copies from one layer when objects from multiple layers are selected. Attached is a video where I select paths from two layers and attempt the methods; ALT+Drag, Transform-COPY, and CMD-C + CMD-F to copy the desired objects.
    Each time illustrator selects the paths I want, but only ever copies the paths from one layer. Even when using transform, illustrator previews all the paths, but when I choose COPY, it then reverses and only copies the top layer.
