No overprint objects but a dash appears in Attributes panel
Documents that have no fill or stroke objects set to Overprint show a dash in the Attributes panel checkbox that makes you suspect there is overprint. Confusing, nothing should be checked if nothing is set to overprint. The example show a dash for fill when the image is selected and a faint dash for stroke when the text is selected.

Color Picker changes the settings when saved
I am tweaking a color in Illustrator CC. I make slight adjustments to the Saturation and Brightness controls and hit Save. When I open the color picker again, the Hue, Saturation and Brightness controls are all shifted slightly. The Hue is especially disconcerting as it appears to be shifting left with every save.

Files have a swatch that cannot be deleted
Please help me understand why this swatch cannot be deleted. In this case it is a Pantone swatch, but in other files it's just a global color. I have deleted all objects and links in this file to be sure it's not connected to some hidden element.
Thank you for looking. It is becoming an issue in file cleanup for clients. They all have this one odd, unremovable swatch from another project.
1 voteAs it turns out the swatch was in use by the plugin.
If the same happens to you — try to check all the symbols, graphics styles, anything like this in the document that might use the swatch.

Merge Swatches not working
Selecting 3 identical Swatches, and choosing 'Merge Swatches' should result in 1 Swatch that is applied to all objects that were colored by the 3 identical swatches.
But in Ai, the 3 Swatches remain,1 vote -

Recolour tool does not load custom colour palettes (AI 27.3)
I have restarted my machine already multiple times, but when I try to use the recolour tool, the added colour palettes I created do not load on the right hand side

PROBLEM Mixing and changing swatches colours in the file...
We are currently designing on about 250 designs witch we have in the same file as different art boards. In the swatches panel we have created two different groups of colours (each group has 8 swatches). We design in each art board (for example Art 1) with one of the group colours (lets name it A). When we finish colouring Art1 we copy the design in the next art board Art2 and now we colour it using the other group (lets name it B). We save the file and the next day when we open it we find that the…

Color UI won't stop auto filling in shapes with a last used color
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but ever since updating to Illustrator 27.2, the color picker in the color UI (after holding shift + click) won't stop auto filling in selected shapes with the last applied color used to fill in a previous shape. This is very frustrating and significantly bogging down workflows.
Running on MacOS Monterey version 12.0.1 using Illustrator version 27.2

Color Mismatch when copy/pasting within Ai
In 27.2, copy/paste, while staying in Ai gives a color profile mismatch warning.
This is weird and should never happen. It also asks to Merge color swatches.

Loading an external swatch library file freezes the app every time.
Loading a external swatch library freeze the app every time. Loading swatches from a file does not.
The freeze replicated by different swatch library files. Both my swatch library files .ase and files are offline. My frozen work file is in Creative Cloud.(meta feedback: This feedback system is slow and inefficient. I just wanna leave my bug report and leave. I'm working on clock paid by my client so I have no time flipping through pages of others' writing to find a similar feedback and vote. By imposing this inefficient feedback system, Adobe is missing a lot of other…

Bug: duplicate color names
MacOS 12.6.2
Illustrator 27.1.1
The issue: one can create multiple swatches with the same name.
Create a few non-global swatches or use existing ones. Go inside the swatches and edit the names to the same value for all swatches — no error is triggered.1 vote -
Certain colors generate #000000 HEX values in Color Picker dialog
Bug in 2023 (v 27.1.1) Illustrator. Certain colors, when examined with the Color Picker, shows HSB rightness of 0, RGB all 0, and Hex code of #000000. See GIF.
This is a pretty severe bug with other downstream consequence. Dragging these "broken" colors into swatches, for example, generates pattern swatches instead of process color swatches.
- MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 (M1 pro)
- 2023 (v 27.1.1)
- examining colors by double-clicking the Fill color square
- expected: always have valid HSB/RGB/hex returned. Bug: some colors give incorrect values.

Color changes when document is closed
I am working on several documents with a specific color, and when I close the AI file, the color switches to a different HEX code.
This issue has no pattern that I can understand, since it does not happen with all documents. It is even more odd because if I choose the color I want with the eyedropper, it remains correct, but if I write the HEX code, it does not. Besides, the color profile doesn't change when this happens, at least that I'm aware of.

Can't recolour a shape or object
I can't seem to recolour shapes or objects in the latest version of Illustrator. Normally, I would be able to insert a hex code, press enter and it'll be done.
However, now, I have to insert the hex code and click on one of the other boxes for the colour to load before pressing enter. In this case, sometimes the wrong colour appears and I'd have to adjust the RGB/CMYK/HSB numbers to get the right colour. This happened when I was trying to insert a thistle colour and ended up with beige.
Even worse, I sometimes enter the hex code…

Colors in newly created files get neon-like saturated
I have created some new files while being connected to a projector (NEC).
When opening the same files later without being connected to the projector, the colors are extremely saturated.File saved without an embedded color profile as I always do.
The screenshot doesn't capture it well
