  2. Control panel doesn’t display 'Group' when a group has only live shapes in it

    Why is it that when a group is selected, the Object Type Indicator in Control panel doesn’t call it a group?

  3. Calculation in New Document does not work correctly

    I tried 300/4, which resulted in 0.04. Should be 75.

  4. TIFF's generate Color Management Error in MacOS High Sierra.

    When in macOS Sierra I can drag or import any TIFF without any issues or errors. My colors on screen are rich and vibrant and darker.

    When in MacOS High Sierra I do the same thing I get a Color Management Error, and all my colors are faded and lighter.

  5. User Guide Correction - Broken Links

    The section of the user guide called Painting > Gradients is full of nothing but broken links. https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/gradients.html
    Your links all just forward to http://create.adobe.com/ and http://tv.adobe.com/vi+f1586v1019
    which isn't helpful at all if you're trying to read the user guide in any meaningful way. Of course I can google ways to use the gradient tools but I came to you for the definitive "adobe prescribed" version of information as a way to prepare for your ACE exams. I know I'm not the only one who does this to bone up so if someone could help fix broken links it would…

  6. CC Libraries ghost panel

    System Windows 7 PC (newest updates)
    Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 (newest update)
    1. Open CC Libraries (Window Menu or Icon).
    2. Open CC Libraries without any issues.
    3. The CC Library appears on the left side too and when you hover over this area it removes the panel step by step (the original Panel on the right works normal, the panel that appears on the left is just an "image" bug, I don't know.)
    I uploaded a screenshot what happen when I click on the CC Libraries Icon.

  8. New document dialog doesn't provide default values

    When in Illustrator, I typically use ctrl-n, then hit enter to automatically open a new document.

    However, the new document dialog as of Illustrator 2017.1.0 doesn't have default values filled when the dialog opens, and one is forced to pick the type of document one wants to create, from web, mobile, print, etc. instead of just hitting the "enter" key and changing these settings later.

    In other words, you are complicating the flow of creating new documents.

    Hi Phillipe,
    Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. New document dialog in new version shows the last used profile as default selection.
    If you are still facing issue, Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here

  9. Small Caps no longer working as it should

    Illustrator 2017.1.0. Setting the Small Cap percentage no longer works for some fonts. They seem to have their own default setting that is unaffected by changing the percentage in the Document Setup window. In the attached example, Small Caps is set to 90%. In the first two font examples, you can see it's nowhere near that. If I change the setting, the bottom word will change but the top two remain the same. This is terrible!!

  10. Can't save color themes even when signed in

    I'm trying to save a color theme but when I mouse over "Save" it says "You must sign to save color themes" even though I am already signed in according to the Help drop down menu. As a result I can't save any color themes. I'm using the 1 week trial version of Adobe Illustrator called Adobe Illustrator CC Tryout 2017.1.0 Release.

  12. Accented characters in PDF not showing correctly

    Imported PDF text has spurious spaces (and broken into different text blocks). In the source program the only difference is whether RTF is encoded using charset-encoding in the current code page (OK) or using unicode reference (like this). In PDF readers looks correct either way.

  13. Uneven stroke widths using width tool

    Using width tool, stroke comes out uneven, even though system claims it is the same on both sides of the path. This only happens on one side of the stroke, not sure if it's at the beginning or end of the stroke. This only happens when width is adjusted at the very end of the stroke; adding a node just before the end of the stroke and adjusting that way functions properly.

  15. I can't change stroke colour after I used the shape builder tool

    After using the shape building tool to combine shapes together to create a specific shape and change the stroke to a colour with a specific stroke weight then later when I try to change the stroke colour it does nothing, it show up different when it's in isolation mode though. I've tried to add a thicker stroke line and that shows the new colour I've chosen behind the first colour so the shape developed two stroke colours in one and I have no idea how to fix it, even if I copy and paste the shape then try to change…

  16. Highlighting text leads to disappearing artboards

    This tends to only happen when I have minimized the screen to be half of my desktop size. Whenever I highlight text in Illustrator the artboard disappears and it only comes back when I've selected the selection tool and click in the work space.

    Device name VENGEANCE
    Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-13900K 3.00 GHz
    Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.8 GB usable)

  19. Can't copy paste between tabs using the keyboard shortcut

    I've found lately that copy pasting content from one open document to another doesn't work when using the Ctrl-V shortcut. Manually selecting Edit->Paste from the menu seems to work as a workaround.

    I'm using Illustrator 28.7.1 64-bit on Windows 10 21H2
