1. Spot Colors in Linked or Embedded Images can be Renamed in Swatches Palette, breaking functionality

   Double clicking a spot swatch in the Swatches Palette allows you to rename the swatch. In past versions, Illustrator would not allow you to rename the spot swatch if it was used in a linked or embedded image. Now the spot swatch can be renamed whether or not it is used in an image. There is no warning that the spot being renamed is in use. After renaming the spot swatch, the Swatches Palette does not show the spot actually used in the image. Changing the color values of the spot swatch before renaming changes the appearance of the image, but it does not after renaming. After saving and reopening the file, both the original spot(used in the image) and the renamed spot swatch will be visible in the Swatches Palette.

   I've observed this behavior in the following installs:
   MacOS 11.5.2, Illustrator versions 25.3.1 & 25.4.1
   Windows 10, Illustrator version 25.2.1

   It is important that the Swatches Palette correctly reports the spot colors used in images. The renaming of a spot swatch used in an image breaks at least one of the save scripts we use in production. It also causes an error upon saving on machines with Esko plug-ins installed.

3. Freeform gradient doesn't export to svg

   When using a freeform gradient in Adobe Illustrator (desktop) it does not export to svg. Instead it takes out the gradient and leaves the fill empty.

4. Gradient Window Color Slider buggy, Selection area too small, adding color instead of selecting the color

   After updating to 24.2. Gradient Window Color Slider buggy, Selection area too small, adding color instead of selecting the color. Then it doesn't allow the selection of the color because it wants to add a new color. When I keep trying to select the color it is showing a plus sign and will not allow me to select the color that is there.

5. Editing Pattern Swatch + Saving = Crash (unsaved, unrecovered)

   After creating a new pattern swatch with about a dozen objects, I double click the swatch to change the pattern settings. Either of the following scenarios cause Illustrator to crash EVERY TIME, using ANY of the last 3 versions of Illustrator:
   — hitting Command+S to exit pattern editor while saving
   — double clicking to exit, and then hitting Command+S at any point afterwards

   TLDR; hitting Command+S anytime AFTER editing a pattern swatch is crashing Illustrator

   I've replicated this issue about 2 dozen times now across all 3 most recent builds of Illustrator available through CC.
   I haven't yet tried saving through the menu, so I don't know if it's isolated to just the keyboard shortcut.
   I have found one annoying work-around: copy the objects I want to build the pattern from, past them into a new, blank document, create pattern swatch, edit swatch, apply to shape, copy shape, paste back into original document. If I perform those steps, I can save without crashing Illustrator. Obviously not an ideal scenario as you want to edit your patterns in proximity to the art you are applying them to.

7. Color Picker Selects White Instead of Black

   Very bizarre problem:

   1. I will create a new object using the pen tool.
   2. I select the Stroke Color icon and choose black for a border color.
   3. Illustrator will invariably select white instead of black. I will have to go back to the color picker and select black again for it to stick. Really irritating.

8. Freeform gradient fill disappears on select all action

   1. OS: Windows Version: 10.0 System Architecture: x64 Illustrator v 23.0.6 (64-bit)
   2. I used a freeform gradient fill to fill a path and upon doing a select all to group a few different paths and shapes for easier movement or duplication, the fill of the path disappears and I need to either rebuilt the gradient or re-load the file as even doing CTRL+Z doesn't bring back the gradient
   3. The expected result is that the gradient remains as it was when doing a select all (Either through CTRL+A or using the Selection Tool)
   4. The Fill for the path disappears and the freeform gradients of all other shapes and paths are messed up.

9. Patern Maker's Numeric Scaling Is Broken

   I'm creating a step and repeat wall using 2 graphics.

   In a brick by column pattern, individual graphics can't be scaled using the menu dialog (Object>Transform>Scale).

   However, they can be scaled using the tool panel's scale tool (keyboard shortcut s).

   Entering precise scaling measurements that are supported in earlier versions of Illustrator would be appreciated!

10. color on screen looks different if cmyk or spot

    this is a problem i found in illustrator, indesign and photoshop cc.
    i create a gradient, say from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0). (the color is not important)
    than i create another gradient, from 100% to 0% of cyan (c100 m0 y0 k0), but spot color.
    than i active 'overprint preview'.
    on screen, the 2 color look different, and it's wrong.
    we have the same color, the same gradient, so it MUST look the same.

11. CMYK values changes

    On opening existing file and embedded profile mismatch, selecting "Convert document's colors to the working space" will change K=100% to black defined in all CMYK values.
    However opening the file keeping embedded profile and hereafter assign the profile keeps the values intact.

12. Opacity bug

    AI CC 2018
    I turned the opacity down on a selection to see below layers. Then I went to work on below layers. Upon returning to original layer and re-selecting the object to return it to 100% opacity it showed I was already at 100%. I could not get it back to 100% until I copied and pasted the object to a new layer.

    Need More Info  ·  Anish Kumar responded

    Hi,

    It seems like opacity is applied on the Layer and not on the object inside that layer. It is possible that the user is selecting object inside the layer and not the layer itself. Hence the user is able to see the opacity of object which is 100% in this case and not the changed opacity of layer.

13. Touch Bar Color Controls are Broken

    Touch bar controls do not change the color of objects when using sliders, and swatches save to touch bar but not to actual swatches panel. Cannot delete swatches from Touch Bar.

14. Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used

    Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
    Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
    The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
    When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors, you get a warning about a Missing Profile (which is not true) when you create or open a file while the Global (or Spot) Colors are still in the Recent Colors (they are available across documents). If you click OK the file opens, just as it would with the warnings off. The warning will not show again during the current session. But if you click Cancel (as many times as the number of Global/Spot Colors that you have in your Recent Colors). The file will open with the recent Global/Spot Colors converted to None.

15. 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!

16. Conversion from CMYK to Grayscale is wrong

    Converting CMYK values to Grayscale will not give the expected result. C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converts to 100% Grayscale in a CMYK document.
    The same C=50 M=50 Y=50 K=50 converted to R: 92 G: 81 B: 76
    in an RGB document it converts to 67,16% Grayscale, which looks more like the expected Gray value.

18. Renaming a color group in Recolor makes a duplicate group

    When I rename a swatch group on Color Guide interface, it automatically duplicates the color group even though no alteration took place to the included color swatches themselves. I don't want that! I just simply need a way to rename each color group just like each swatch.
    The only workaround of this bug is to rename a group without duplication is to select all the in-group swatches and make another group under a new name. Then, delete the emptied previous group. What an ungraceful user experience...

19. Preview checkbox in swatch options does not enable the first time it is checked

    The 'Preview' checkbox in the swatch options does not work the first time it is enabled. Steps to replicate:

    1. Create an object and apply a swatch to it.

    3. If the 'Preview' checkbox is ticked, untick it, close the options window and then open it again.
    4. Tick the 'Preview' checkbox
    5. Adjust the swatch using the colour sliders

    Result: the object does not change on canvas to reflect the swatch definition while the window is open
    Expected result: the object changes on canvas to reflect the swatch definition

    Unticking 'Preview' and then ticking it again restores the expected behaviour.

20. 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.
