  1. Improper transperancy handling

    when creating an object with a simple transparency, it renders different siting above a white background vs a white object. I've had someone else recreate to verify it's not just my install. See attached screen shot.

  4. Kalligraphiepinsel

    Hallo, ich habe einen ovalen Kalligraphiepinsel angelegt und einem Pfad zugewiesen und die Pfad-Form erhält einen kalligraphischen Kontrast. Soweit so gut. Klicke ich allerdings erneut auf die kalligrafische Linie, um sie erneut dem Pfad zuzuweisen (zum Beispiel, weil ich diesen verändert/verlängert habe), so ändert sich mit jedem Klick der Winkel im des Ovals. Ein Bug oder eine Voreinstellung, die ich noch nicht kenne? Vielen Dank für jede Hilfe.

  5. 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top is skewed so edge does not run parallel with Isometric - Right

    I made a square out of vertical rectangles of alternating colour and wanted to make it into each face of a cube.

    However, 3D - Extrude - Isometric Top (with no bevel or shading) effect is slightly skewed.

    Therefore, I cannot connect each anchor point to make a cube. See screenshot to see how the top's edge veers away from the right side.

  8. The Operation Cannot be Completed due to an Unknown Error (CANT) 3D effect

    I am encountering an issue anytime I attempt to edit the Bevel and Extrude effect on my design. It keeps providing me with a vague error "The Operation Cannot Be Completed Due to an Unknown Error (CANT)" and it will not apply the effect or allow edits.

  9. Outer Glow producing odd glowing corners around objects

    When applying an outer glow, I get rectangular glowing corners around the objects with applied effects. Deleting a reapplying using a different setting solves the issue about 50% of the time. Something that has only happened since the last AI update.

  10. Crash after trying to delete crop marks fx

    Whenever I try to delete the crop marks effect on a document Illustrator just crashes. At first I thought it was because the document was made on a previews version of AI but it's also happening with new documents whenever I apply crop marks fx and then try to delete those crop marks later.
    I'm using latest version of Illustrator updated about 3 days ago.

  12. Reflect Across Vertical Axis does not account for Variable Stroke

    I was making a vector in Adobe Illustrator using Variable Stroke. I wanted to make a mirrored copy of my original left-facing drawing to have a right-facing character. But when I mirrored it, the Variable Stroke did not match the original.
    Attached is what I was working on, also labeling the three areas where the issue is most obvious. Note how the stroke thickness is not identical.

  13. Live text with customs appearance glitches when on top of a locked image

    Using Appearance, modified text (fill with outline in this case) gets buggy when modified on top of a locked image.

    I have been able to re-create this issue on my end at least.

  17. Spot color gaussian blur does not print out when printing separations to film

    This must be a bug because it worked in previous versions. Spot color gaussian blur does not print out when doing separations.

  18. Minus Front Pathfinder

    I'm trying to block out this outlined text from this green rectangle, however, it is producing a very weird and seemingly glitchy result. Here are my steps:

    1) Select both shapes (The white shape appears to have a thicker selection outline? Not sure why that is..)

    2) Choose Pathfinder > Minus Front.

    3) The final result view cuts off the top of the 'M' and 'R', but the anchor points show a normal effect.

    Any thoughts?

  19. Arc Warp Effect with Unexpected Results (Combined with Masks)

    When applying an arc effect shouldn't the mask dictate how the arc effect works and not the larger contents of the mask?

    The results I am getting now appear to be possibly impacted by the larger/complex contents of the mask.

    I have used a larger arc amount of 15% in the images below to exaggerate the difference I am seeing between the simplified design/mask and the second design with a larger pattern inside the mask.

    Is this working as intended or is this an issue?

  20. 3D Extrude and Bevel

    When I apply 3D Extrude and Bevel with cap set to 0 and surface set to no shading my image now has a background. Now I tried a few things to correct the image in 3D Extrude and bevel and the entire image is gone. The image frame is still there.

    This occurred after the latest update to Adobe Illustrator 2020 24.1.2
