  2. Alt click with the Scale tool makes y scale 0%

    Al clicking with the scale tool (to choose an origin and open the numeric scale dialog) results in a default Y scale of 0%

    That's strange!

    And please make the upmost input field the default selected one.

  4. Crash On Print

    I have an iMac 27 running macOS Catalina version 10.15.7. Illustrator is version 25.0

    About one in four attempts to print results in illustrator crashing with no saving or backup. It seems to happen with ay file and especially if it has not been saved! I select 'File|Print' or 'command P' and boom - illustrator instantly gone.

  5. Adding colors from Adobe Libraries to swatches creates duplicates

    When I add a selection of colors from the adobe libraries panel to swatches, using the Ctrl+click and selecting 'add color to swatches' it adds them twice in the swatches panel. So if I select 5 colors and add, they show up in swatches as color1, color1,color2, color2,color3, color3,color4, color4,color5, color5

  6. grey bar or box

    When the pointer hits certain (very many) points, gray bars or boxes appear as in the attached screen capture, making the operation difficult. Please fix it.

  7. Ctrl+Z in Isolation mode makes all objects in the document opaque

    Hello!

    Has anyone runinto this glitch?

    Isolation mode bugs out and turns the entire document, except the specific object, opaque and refuses to let you exit this view though it acts like you have exited isolation mode. It usually happens when I ctrl+Z after entering isolation mode, The document also saves like this, which is a major pain for colour work. Copy and pasting the elements rights them to be not opaque.

  8. Illustrator CC crashes when I open it. Does not generate error report.

    When I open a new Illustrator file it'll generate with a few solid black rectangles at random positions on the screen. After scrolling they go away. Then I will use Illustrator normally for about 5 minutes and then numerous pop up in numerous sizes then the program crashes and does not generate an error report.

    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling version 24.3 and 25 respectively.
    I have tried deleting cache and resetting scratch disks.
    I have delete the opm.db file, and cleared preferences.
    I am using a desktop that has:
    500 GB SSD (where all adobe programs are installed)
    1TB…

  9. Ghost shadows/projections when isolating a group

    Sometimes when isolating a group (double clicking) and zooming in, a strange ghost offset projection across all the screen appears, and it slides across the screen when dragging through the workspace.
    I remember it used to happen in Ai 2019, stopped happening in Ai 2020 and now it came back. BUT I have not had this issue occurred between the Ai 2021 release and the macOS Big Sur update so I am not sure what the cause could be, and that's what's tricky, it only happens SOMETIMES and I haven't found any pattern about it.

  10. Unexplained distortion on output

    Mac Pro (Late 2013) OS Catalina 10.15.7.
    the last two days on multiple items and workstations we have had unexplained distortion on files processed. Usual operation of drop postscript file into hot folder for output. Expected solid box with length of 67.9375. Actual solid box has length of 67.4375. This happened with several different items. Only work around we have that has actually worked is to put the file on a new document and color everything black. We can't do that on all our files. Please help

  12. Eyedrop multiple fills

    Please allow there to be an option on the eyedropper tool to select multiple fills on appearances to apply to another object. Example; with pattern design, we create a top transparent pattern than a second fill with a solid color to create the final pattern. We would like to be able to easily apply those two fills to another object

  16. spostare un qualsiasi oggetto

    Ho appena aggiornato la versione ad Illustrator 25.0, ho aperto un file pdf e risalvato in formato illustrator, peccato che quando voglio spostare un blocco di oggetti o anche uno solo mi dice che non posso perché è IMPOSSIBILE la modifica potrebbe rendere alcuni degli oggetti troppo grandi. Come la risolvo?

  19. Zoom on drag, not after

    Zooming involves pressing the command key and the space bar, and then clicking and dragging the mouse. The speed and duration of the drag is replicated in the zoom on screen. Or so it used to be.
    All of a sudden now, when I click, instead it draws a box, the contents of which then fill my monitor — but only when I release it.
    It used to zoom in on the mouse drag - but now it waits until I’ve completed the box. How do I toggle back to the previous settings?

  20. Illustrator 25 super slow save & crash on deleting FX

    1. It's taking a long amount of time to save even a small file.

    2. Everytime I try to delete an effect (so far any I have tried from the effects menu), the program crashes.

    3. Illustrator lags/freezes between each operation.
