Placed strokes don't save scale once embeded
If you place an AI file with strokes, scale the placement and then embed the link the strokes go back to their original size before the scale. The strokes view the correct size until you embed it.
Scale strokes & effect is checked in the scale window and in the prefs. Any other setting/pref that can fix that? or is this just a bug?

Weird Facets in Gradient Fill
Issue, rather than "Idea". Using a simple, gradient fill, in Illustrator CC 25.2.1, I'm getting these weird facets, rather than just a smooth transition. Anyone else have the same issue?

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.

Big Sur and native Effects gallery crash
Anybody else getting Illustrator CC2019 and 2020 to crash in Big Sur (beta) when accessing the Filter Gallery (eg. Effect > Texture > Grain)?
You don't even have to apply the effect. Simply opening that window will doom you to a crash.
Tested with latest public releases of CC2019 + 2020 and macOS 11 Beta (20A5384c) on 2015 iMac.

Pasting and moving deletes blur and brushes
On iMac Mojave 10.14.6 the Illustrator Update 24.2.3 is very glitchy. When pasting and moving artwork it deletes Gaussian blur and brushes from pasted artwork so then I have to redo all the work again by selecting and clicking on the appearance (see pics 1 and 2). Also when reflecting an object it defaults to an angle and not flipped as normal. Please fix, thanks.

3D Extrude & Bevel Mapping Symbol
When I try to map a vector artwork using the 3D Extrude & Bevel Options on the "Map Art" windows shows that the artwork is mapped correctly on the face of shape however the final result stays with the black color of the outline, this does not happen when I do a flat graphic like a JPEG or PNG.
This issue has been happening with multiple versions of illustrator.

Flatten Transparency generates clipping groups when none expected
I found a bug in Illustrator CC 2019 and 2020 MacOS 10.14.6 and Windows 10 v1903. I will report this to Adobe.
A. I create a glass effect on a non-circle object with blending dark to light red and a black and white gradient mixed with 'screen' to it.
B. I flatten the transparency with the highest or other option. There is always is a clip group (1), that should be automatically removed. For better seeing, I put it on top of the group, after using Flatten Transparency.2 votes -
Transform effect vanished from Appearance Panel. Multiple times
After using Distort & Transform/Transform from the Appearance Panel, I noticed that this effect was missing from the list of effects that I'd used. As you can see in the attached image, Transform is not in the list. The long shadow on this text is created using that effect and it is still live, but there's no way to edit it since it is not showing up in the Appearance Panel. I started over and created it once more and once again, it wasn't in the panel. I tried a 3rd time and it worked as expected.

Editing text with warp doesn't update
Editing text that has a Warp effect applied does not update on screen or even in a saved PDF until the warp effect is turned off then on again in the Appearance panel. See the attachments where I have changed the bolded word 'egg' to a roman type weight. In the second warped screenshot it is still bold. This bug has only started since the very latest general release of Illustrator: v24.1. Occurs in MacOS 10.15.3 and in MacOS 10.14.6

Gradient gets rasterized into a different looking one when used for mapping with 3D Revolve
While in 3D Revolve, I am trying to apply a created Symbol onto a half circle with a gradient. Within the dialog box, there is a message that says "the gradient will be rasterized", which changes my gradient from "red to black gradient" to a "balk and white gradient". That changes my whole effect.

Problem with raster effects printing
We have had to outlaw the use of raster effects here because of the distortion they cause when an AI file is saved as a PDF.
Our workflow for printing is the save our work from Illustrator as a PDF file which is then placed in an InDesign document. Any raster effects used in the graphic end up adding lines the edge of the effect as well as shifting the colors touched by the effect.

Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Hi together,
recently I came accross a mapping bug with a stroke ( width 0.2 Pt ) applied to a waving flag shape used in a symbol that was mapped to a 3D model.
All details can be found at Adobe Illustrator User Forum here:
Symbols | Mapping stroke to 3D-Model will distort stroke
Laubender Mar 21, 2019
https://forums.adobe.com/message/10989571#10989571Workarounds like expanding the stroke and working with an extra path element stacked behind the flag shape did not help.
The only workaround that will help is rendering the elements to an image and implement the placed and not linked image…

Legacy blur lost when pasting into a new document.
An object with a legacy blur loses it's setting when copying and pasting into a new document. The blur is still listed in appearance, but there is no value and effectively no blur.

Text with effects becomes a group of text and rendered raster image. Effect is no longer 'live'
Text with effects becomes a group of text and rendered raster image. Effect is no longer 'live'
Text block is now a group with a raster image for the drop shadow. I have to reapply the drop shadow in order to correctly edit the text block.2 votes
