Gaussian blur does not get rendered
Two white stripes on the blue background have gaussian blur applied to them, but the effect is invisible (unless I reduce Document Raster Effects’ Resolution). The CS6 version is throwing you a warning it’s not enough RAM to apply the effect. The latest version just says nothing, it just calculates it, shows the progress bar, but doesn’t apply it (I checked this with the All the Warnings reset also).
This same file has another problem, unfoldable layers — reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46794262
The test file is derived from the original provided by Glitschka Studios.

Appearance panels not consistent
For some reason, the two ways to inspect the Appearance of the selection do not reflect the same information.
In the small panel a triangle with an exclamation mark appeared to make note of the fact that two strokes are applied and I should check the Appearance panel.. Why not show the correct Appearance information in all Appearance panels?
See screenshot.

compound paths and gradients
So I made a pie chart, then applied 3D, expanded its appearance, and then made it a compound path to apply a gradient to it and it has been **** on earth to work with. It has funny artifacts that I can't even edit or look at. One of the elements fills the element with the gradient instead of just the outline. I managed to fix it by moving it around and playing with it but it will probably happen again.

Glitch in Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect
When applying Convert to Shape > Rounded Rectangle effect to an object, and applying a corner radius larger than the shape can support, one side of the rounded rectangle is given an extra anchor point with adjustment handles that make an overlap visible. This only occurs on one side of the object.
The desired result is that the corners meet at a single anchor point, as on the right hand side of the objects in the attached AI file.

Missing Pixels After Rendering 3d Objects
Windows 11
AI 2023 Version 27.4Whenever I render 3d objects in illustrator,
missing pixels or weird scratches show up within
the object. It doesn't matter if I change the
lighting or material or size, the issues are still there.The scratches show up when I export the objects as well. My document raster effect settings are on 300 ppi.
Also, changing from CPU/GPU view doesn't make
a difference.This only started happening in the past few days.
I've used this tool before on my computer W/o
issues. My GPU is up to date. It’s equipped to handle everything. I’m…1 vote -

All elements disappearing the more I edit. They show in layers panel, but not on artboard or in exports.
I'm working from (an up-to-date version of) an Illustrator file with five differently sized artboards. They all are using the same elements and symbols, just arranged different for different layouts. When I click on one of the artboards and select a group to scale down, the elements begin disappearing and have not reappeared.
I exited the group and more elements in the artboard disappeared. Clicking out of the artboard group itself made the entire group disappear. When I click back into the artboard, selecting an element reveals the outlines and bounding boxes, but the artwork itself is not visible. Opacity…

Offset Path Effect unexpectedly losing details
Issue with the Effect, Path > Offset Path... As a professional printer, we need to counter the spread of ink and recently had a job where the client pointed out that the dots of the letter 'i' were missing in their text... Normally I'd offset by -0.025mm as this is counters the ink, but due to the font style, I set at -0.01mm and expanded... In our investigations, we have found that -0.012mm would have been fine, but below starts producing very unexpected results... I did wonder if it was down to the complexity of all the text, but it…

3D effect in Illustrator 2023 doesn’t work
After updating to 2023, the 3D effect no longer works on macOS 12.6.1. This is also the case with Photoshop. I then get the message that an error has occurred.
I don't have that problem on my laptop with the latest version of macOS.1 vote -
Applying Inflate Clips the Ends of a Line
I made a line with the line tool, made the stroke 3 points wide, and chose a color for the stroke. I also went into the stroke options and chose the rounded cap. Then I used the width tool to tweak the shape of the line to resemble the object I was drawing.
When I go to Effect-->3D and Materials-->Inflate, it crops off both the top and bottom end of the line.
I'm using Windows 11 and Adobe Illustrator 2022 v. 26.5.

Copy and Paste Appearance into Photoshop Not working
Update: I just noticed that this problem only occurs when I've applied the appearance effect to the entire layer as opposed to each individual stroke.
When I edit a brush stroke appearance on illustrator, that appearance doesn't carry over when pasting into Photoshop like it used to. I've tried turning on ACIB preserve appearance, but that doesn't work. The only workaround is if I expand the brush stroke (which is getting tiresome because I do this quite often).
Another issue: When working on one layer with multiple brush strokes, I attempted to expand that one stroke, but every single stroke…

Drop Shadows in Illustrator 26.4.1 won't export to SVG properly – they become displaced
I made an Illustrator 26.4.1 graphic that used the drop shadow effect.
When I exported it to SVG, the shadows became displaced. They were all moved a bit to the top-left. I tried all kinds of alternate exporting and effects settings, always to the same effect.I knew for certain that I had already done this in a previous Illustrator version, so I downloaded Illustrator 25.0 and tried the exact same thing – worked perfectly!
Some time between those versions, something must have gotten buggy.When I noticed this, I was on Win10 (Win11 now).

3D Extrude doesn't treat a group as a group
I’ve got a logo I need to extrude, but Illustrator appears to be treating each object within the logo as having a separate instance of the 3D Extrude effect applied. You can see an example in the attached video – I add the effect and the preview is exactly what I’d expect, but when AI renders the effect, each object loses the perspective it has in the preview.

Vertical Adjustment in Transform pallet is working in reverse.
The vertical adjustment of Transform Effect in the Appearance pallet is giving incorrect values (positive value for negative effects and negative value for positive effects). Menu path = Appearance Pallet/FX/Distort and Transform/Transform. In the second screen shot, the COPY of the red circle should be ABOVE the original by 300 pts according to the value in the vertical adjustment.

Offset path preview not working
Offset path not working 1 in 20 cases. When I type a word, expand it and then try to create an offset path, I cannot turn the preview of the offset path. When this happens and I confirm the offset path, I cannot ungroup the the original text and the offset path. When I try to ungroup it, the text becomes the original again. It is very frustrating. I've tried to turn of the GPU preview, I have turned off my mac several times and I have reinstalled the Illustrator itself. Nothing seems to work. I used the offset path…
