KERNING ON EXTENDED SELECTIONS... My kerning worked just fine about an hour ago, but now every time I try to add a custom kerning value it gives me the warning: Kerning on extended selections can only be set to Auto or 0.
I can't seem to get this to go away.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Illustrator and it is still happening.
I tried many fonts of different types, and it still won't work.-Chris

透明部分を含むグレースケールモードのPSDファイルを配置するとGPUプレビューできない。 オペレーティングシステム macOS 10.15.6(imac20,1 32GBmem/1TBSSD/AMD Radeon Pro 5300_4GB)
Illustrator CC ver.25.2.3問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
1. CMYKドキュメントをGPU表示で編集中に透明部分を含むグレースケールモードのPSDファイルを配置する。
2. GPUプレビューからCPUプレビューに切り替わり、以降、Illustratorを再起動するまでそのドキュメントでは先程の配置画像を除去してもGPUプレビュー表示に戻せない。想定していた結果
GPU表示が正しく機能する。実際の結果
CPU表示に強制的に切り替わってしまい、GPUプレビュー表示に出来ない。RGBモードのドキュメントではこの症状は発生しません。透明部分を含む画像形式であっても他の形式ではこの問題は発生しません。また、Windowsでは起きないとの報告を受けています。

Jagged artefacts on edges of objects with gradient fills or transparency Revisiting a Logo Artwork that I did last year (created using V.24x), the artwork has now changed ... there are jagged lines around the edges of shapes that were filled with transparency gradients. (see pic 1) This is not due to any extra nodes; the underlying geometry is the same (see pic 2).
If I use 'Flatten Transparency' it solves the jagged lines, but adds extra 'blocks' in the corners (see pic 3). This is not something that used to happen.
This is not multiple objects stacked, so can't Ungroup and it isn't a compound path so I can't Release.…

Objects rotating when trying to transform or move When manipulating shapes, the cursor will try and rotate the object. I will try and grab a handle to transform the shape and the object rotates. I have to zoom into the object in order to stop it from rotating despite the cursor showing the correct tool. For example if I want to make a simple box longer, I'll put my cursor over the middle handle on the left side of the box. My cursor will change from an arrow to the one with arrows facing away from each other. The moment I press my mouse the object will immediately…

Click and touch release problems Illustrator CC 2018 Mac High Sierra - cause dictation software Illustrator v 22.0.1, Mac OS High Sierra on Macbook Pro 2016, touch bar, 2.9GHz Intel core i7, 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3
Clicking, tapping, with trackpad or wireless mouse (Kensington wireless Turbo Mouse trackball): click/tap does not release, so the object is highlighted or selected and stuck to the cursor as you move it around.
In the layers palette, (The new Properties/Layers) clicking/tapping a layer lock to unlock it may unlock it with a delay, or lock/relock it. The same goes for view/hide visibility for layers. The response is difficult to interpret, possibly because of delays. But it not possible to use…

Brush Pressure exceeds set size/variation When drawing with the brush in CC 2018, the brush size of the stroke can exceed the set size and variation. For instance, If I have a brush size of 3 and variation 3, when drawing pressing very hard, the stroke size will go above 3 pts. in CC 2017 the brush stroke was limited to brush size.
34 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded
Hi All,
As per the investigation done by the engineering team , the issue is not a bug , but an expected scenario.
Variation means that it should go both above and below the set size. So a 3pt stroke with 3pt variation will draw from 0 to 6 pt.
Kindly reach out to us incase you have any queries .

Font drop down menu disappears Whenever I select the font drop down menu, and I'm going through the fonts I have, it just randomly disappears as I'm looking through the fonts to find the one I want to use, although I can still use my arrow keys to go through the list even though the drop down menu isn't on my screen.

Swatch Options Set to HSB but Shows RGB When I double-click a swatch colour that was made in HSB mode the Swatch Options window pops up with HSB selected as the mode but displays sliders for RGB. Switching the mode to something else and back to HSB fixes the issue.

Files not saving correctly, reopens to older versions. Twice this week I've saved files, closed them, and opened them later and my changes were not saved – illustrator opened way older versions of the files. What's weirder is one is a PDF, and the PDF shows the accurate file, but when I open it in illustrator it shows the old version.

Upgrade 25.4.6 Not export dxf Upgrade 25.4.6 Not export dxf
MacoS 10.14.630 votesHi Everyone,
In version 25.4.6, we updated the library that reads dxf files from its 2022 version to 2023 version to fix a vulnerability issue. 2023 version is only supported for MacOS 10.15 or later. So we have following options to fix for this issue :
1. Either upgrade to MacOS 10.15 or later
2. Downgrade to Illustrator version 25.4.5 version or earlier.
Thanks,
Varun

Black Boxes appear and Unable to zoom past 1600% when GPU performance is turned off in Illustrator 25.3.1 Well, I updated illustrator today and have major viewing issues.
Black Boxes appear when selecting outlined text with the direct selection tool, when moving a shape, and in the upper left corner when viewing artboard. Everything disappears when zooming in more than 2400% in Preview mode and has a pixelated outline.

When in Live Painting Bucket (K) i apply the gradient, then i can not adjust it manually.30 votesThe problem is not fixed, alas, despite the previous fix, and everybody who tried to pick a Gradient tool after selecting a region with the Live Paint Selection tool can see this... OK, back to work with this.
