illustrator crashes when using surface pen to draw
as soon as i use Illustrator to draw using my surface pen on my surface 4 pro illustrator crashes. it did this to me in the trail of cc 2018 however i assumed it was because of the trail version. i subscribed to cc 2018 a few days ago to draw and i haven't been able to draw with my tablet. mouse seems to work but as soon as i use a brush with my surface pen it crashes and will not allow me to generate a crash report as it stays gray forcing me to restart my computer.

Characters on the path disappear with command “Outline Text” in version 27.7.0 or just explode all over the canvas
Reproduction procedures
1. Create type on a path in document.
2. Save the document and close it once.
3. Open that document and select the text on a path.
4. Execute command “Outline Text”The above procedure will make it all disappear and disappear.
This phenomenon is not reproduced in Illustrator 2022 or earlier, so it seems to be a 2023-specific bug.〈にほんご〉
再現手順
1. ドキュメント上にパス上テキストを作成
2. ドキュメントを保存し、いったん閉じる
3. ドキュメントを開き、パス上テキストオブジェクトを選択
4. アウトラインを作成以上の手順で、テキストはパスごと消えてなくなります。
Illustrator2022以前では再現しなかったため、2023固有のバグと思われます。-

Wake from Sleep Bug
M1 MacBook Pro, Mac OS 11.5.2. - AI 25.4.1.
Every time I wake my MBP from sleep, AI window is resized to half screen (horizontal) and all Palettes are whacked! all bunched in corner of screen, have to reset window size and reset palettes, every single time. Only AI does this, no other App.26 votesFix for this issue is available in Beta build 27.9.0.5. You can install this from CCD Beta Apps section.

Pressing Ctrl/Cmd+Enter in Color field no longer adjusts other color values proportionately with live color preview since 27.1.1
Prior to 27.1.1, when live color changes were made, we were able to use Ctrl/Cmd+Enter after changing a value to proportionally move all other sliders, which is an equivalent of dragging a slider with Ctrl/Cmd key held.
The face the preview is now live should not kill this old feature., since Ai surely can remember previous values.11 votesWe have fixed the issue and a build with the fix is available in Beta.

Illustrator 27.9 Adobe PDF Preset will match what it was last modified to.
This seems new to 27.9 and removes confidence in save presets.
Steps to replicate:
1) Save file as Adobe PDF format
2) Select [Smallest File Size] from presets.
3) Check Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities (note it now says: [Smallest File Size] (Modified))
4) Click Save PDF
5) Save file as Adobe PDF format
6) Select [Smallest File Size] from presets.Notice the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities is now selected. Also notice the preset name hasn’t changed to say it's (Modified).

Toggling Layer Visibility now Lags Greatly with each New Layer Added after introduction of Search to Layers
In May 2022 (before Search Layers was added for example) you could have a file with 2600 layers and toggle the visibility on and off in less than a second. Now in June 2023 the same type of file takes 30 seconds to toggle the visibility of a single layer.
Here's how to reproduce the BUG that has been introduced into ILLUSTRATOR now:
I'm using a - Windows 10 Desktop
Illustrator v 27.6.1
ASUS Laptop with 40 GB of RAM
1TB SSD drives and plenty of scratch disk and page file space.Reproduction Steps:
- create a new Illustrator document 1920x1080
- …
3 votesFixed in Beta 27.9 5. Please check if it works for you.
At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.

Ink value changes to 0 while adjusting color
When selecting multiple items with a different color mix, values changes to 0 when adjusting a single ink while it shouldn't change. In older versions this doesn't occur.
In the screencap, the Cyan value changes to 0 so the colormix changes completely.
Operation version: MacoOS Ventura 13.2.1
Version Illustator: 27.3.13 votesWe have fixed the issue and a build with the fix is available in Beta.

Illustrator 27.9 introduces severe choppiness when panning with fingers on trackpad rather than Hand tool
When panning with the Hand tool, performance remains intact and panning is smooth. When using trackpad or mouse to move the canvas, frame rate is severely low, 10 fps, even on an empty document. This is a new issue that has existed in the past but had been resolved sometime in the past year or two.
Using a MacBook Pro with M2 Max 38-core GPU running macOS Ventura 13.5.2, the latest as of now.
This issue reduces efficiency and hampers productivity, making it unpleasant to navigate small documents and impossible to navigate large ones with multiple dartboards.
Uninstalling and re-installing…
2 votesThe fix to this issue is available in Beta 28.1 21 (and above) and Prerelease 28.0.66 (and above). Please check, if you can, and reply back if it works for you.

Insufficient data for an image
Saving as .PDF from .AI gives me this warning if I am using any type of image (.JPG, .PSD, .TIFF, .PSB) over 100MBs. When the PDF starts to open in Acrobat the warning comes up.
Machine: Mac Studio 13.5.1 (22G90)
Illustrator 27.8.1I solved the problem by going back to version 27 and exporting one of the files that I was having issues with.

Livetracing Bitmaps gives results with random shades of black
Up until recently, if I used the Livetrace and Expand command on a bitmap it would produce results with only pure white and pure black, as you would expect. Now it randomly assigns values to every piece of what should be black. Instead of 100% black they are 99.29% or 99.67%. Normally I would select one piece, select all by color and move it. Now I need to click on every single piece and apply black to them. Very tedious.
1 voteKeith, the team reverted the Image Trace panel back to the more stable version. If you use 27.7 version, you can try to update to Beta, or revert to the older version, or wait until the Beta version will go stable.
