Warning message for over 15 years "This file has been modified outside of Illustrator"
There needs to be a way to disable this warning message. I have only seen this error in Illustrator, and it has been around for over 15 years with no solid solution. It appears to be related to file timestamps, but when a user is working on a file, saved on a file server, and they are the ONLY one who has access to the file, this error should NEVER appear. This error appears for Windows or Mac users, saving files on either a network or cloud storage location. So far, Adobe's solution is "just save the file locally". This…

Illustrator wrongly says texts were created in different version of Illustrator
After the update, this message now appears, saying that my files were created in a different version. But it should be backwards compatible.

CMYK-Werte im Farbwähler werden nach „Ohne Farbe“ in RGB umgewandelt – trotz CMYK-Dokument
Ich arbeite in einem Illustrator-Dokument im CMYK-Farbmodus. Wenn ich die Flächenfarbe eines Objekts auf „Ohne Farbe“ setze und danach über den Farbwähler neue CMYK-Werte eingebe, wandelt Illustrator diese automatisch in RGB-Farben um – obwohl das Dokument und die Farbeinstellungen vollständig auf CMYK eingestellt sind.
Das Problem tritt seit Kurzem in allen neuen und bestehenden Dateien auf, auch nach Zurücksetzen der Voreinstellungen und Neuinstallation.
Der Fehler lässt sich jederzeit reproduzieren:
Neues CMYK-Dokument erstellen
Objekt zeichnen, Fläche auf „Ohne Farbe“ setzen
Über Farbwähler CMYK-Wert eingeben
Illustrator wandelt die Eingabe in RGB um
Das Verhalten widerspricht dem erwarteten Verhalten in einem CMYK-Dokument und…3 votes -
Fonts changing in files when opened in Illustrator 29.5.1
Existing files created in illustrator (on a different desktop) when opened in v29.5 & v29.5.1 display incorrect fonts - the font is changed to a completely different font (e.g. Myriad Pro will be changed to Times New Roman) throughout the document. All the text in that font family is changed, but other fonts used in the document will display correctly. The font is installed correctly on the system and the changed font can be changed to the correct font by selecting the font from the illustrator font list. The thumbnails display correctly in Bridge before opening in illustrator. Reverting illustrator…

Cannot enter Opacity Mask Mode unless Clip is selected
MacOS 15.4.1 (24E263)
Illustrator 29.5.1When clicking on the opacity panel and then clicking on the mask thumbnail to activate that mode, the thumbnail highlights but as soon as I attempt to edit the contents of the mask, it shows that the mode is not activated. Only if I select the 'Clip' checkbox in the Opacity panel will it allow me to edit the mask. But then clicking the 'Object' thumbnail in the Opacity panel, similarly does not exit mask-editing mode. I have to uncheck the 'Clip' checkbox to get back to normal mode. Previously, simply clicking on each thumbnail…

Recolor doesn’t allow to change white or black with a first try
I use the Recolor (color mixer / wheel) daily. I have come across an annoying bug.
Some base colors will be automatically 'locked' in the color mixer, indicated by a '-'. For example, let's say I'm trying to turn white into red.
- First, white needs to be unlocked. By clicking the '-', it will become an arrow '->', and the swatch should be toggle-able now.
- The first time you toggle the white, it selects, sliders can be moved to make it red, but it doesn't stay adjusted; it reverts back to whites.
- You need to click another…3 votes -
Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info
If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.
I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and…

Objects vanish when a PDF is exported
The PDF document is not being saved correctly. I have tried saving it in different ways, changing the elements and it still isn't working. I believe it is a problem in Acrobat itself perhaps?

More than 32,000 anchor points can be added to a single path
The pathPoint limit is 32,000, and if we try to continue drawing a path from the end of a PathItem with the pen tool, a dialog box will appear and refuse to add anchor points, but we can add anchor points to the segments in between.
macOS 14.7.2
Illustrator ver. 29.3.1Step to reproduce
1. Create a path object in a new document.
2. Add 32,000 anchor points to the path object.
3. Click on any segment with the pen tool. We can add anchor points even if the number of anchor points exceeds 32000 (the number of segments exceeds…3 votes -
Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...
Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...
Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...
Shame!

Please allow files to reopen after crash/restart/reopen
Please please Adobe - why is it almost every other company has managed to give us the option to reopen after quit with the same files open but you still haven't?? Today Creative Cloud told me I had 7 updates available and I thought, ok great, maybe just maybe the illustrator one fixes my snap to point problem. So I had to take a photo of what docs I had open (!), quit Illustrator and go back to Creative Cloud to do the update... only to find that it had changed its mind and I only had two updates but…

Blob Brush strokes often include garbage on turns
What is wrong with Blob Brush. Even with simplest strokes I often get groups, and these have the main part and tiny pieces of garbage next to it in them.
Sometimes these are thinnest slivers, sometimes knotted madness, sometimes chunks chomped off...
If I run simple Pathfinder Add, some of this get 'healed'. Why don’t you do at least this? Why these awfully angular turns and garbled edges happen in the first place? Please study the file.3 votes -

Eyedropper picks the color of the antialiased edge of a stroke blended with the background instead of the actual stroke color
Eyedropper requires a ton of precision when picking a color of s stroke.
Watch the GIF.
Here I have violet and green lines, drawn above a raster image.I’ve mistaken and used green color instead of violet, and now I want to pick it from the existing line.
I click, precise enough (I hope), but the color picked — the almost correct violet (C74,95 M74,61 — instead of the global 75-75) — is not in the background at all. It’s a BLENDED color of the RENDERED anti-aliased EDGE of the stroke! So Ai secretly rasterizes what it sees and then…
