Zoom to mouse location
Prevously when you zoom with the Mouse (magic Mouse 2) it would zoom to the location of the pointer. Now it seems to just zoom to a random point. I move the mouse pointer and it still zooms to the random point. I want to hover my mouse somewhere and then zoom to that position like previous.

Alt + Shift hotkeys for menu commands in the latest version are broken
Any keyboard shortcut that uses both Alt and Shift sends Alt only when pressed.
So if you have a 'Alt + Shift + T' hotkey assigned to something, pressing it will open Type menu instead ('Alt + T').
Also, a hotkey that uses F-key with a modifier launches an action that is assigned to F-key without modifiers, but not the command.
I have an action that uses F3 for launch.
Then I make a new keyboard shortcut for a menu command, assigned to Alt+F3.I expect to run the command when I hit Alt+F3.
Instead, Ai does not launch the…11 votes -

Bounding box does not get updated when 'Use Preview Bounds' is toggled
- Create a circle.
- Apply a large Outside stroke to it
- Make sure you have bounding box turned on in View menu
- Open Preferences using menu (not a Ctrl+K hotkey, this is important)
- Toggle Use Preview Bounds option, commit changes
The bounding box does not get updated. To force to to become larger/smaller (it depends on you initial state of it), you have to click/move the shape, to force it to redraw.
However, if you call Preferences via a hotkey, Ctrl+K, the brief moment you hold Ctrl is enough to toggle the selection tool to Direct Selection, which makes Ai hide…

Zero-height marquee
Please study the GIF attached.
- I want to select an edge of the yellow-beige path
- I grab Direct selection tool and drag a frame over the edge — OK
- I make it faster — still OK
- I make it with my usual speed and get the marquee that has 0 height. It happens with me all the time! I don't fake it, I just automatically try to drag the less tall frame as possible, because sometimes I need to select quite a tiny segment. And when it happens — Illustrator selects nothing.
Well, this is wrong.

Illustrator V. 23.0 crashes repeatedly
Updated Illustrator to 23.0 on my Surface Studio running Windows 10 with 32 Gig of memory. It crashes frequently and seemingly at random. I can't point to any instance in particular - It's just random. The latest instance was I pressed CTRL + 0 to set the page at 100% and the program just went away. As with the other crashes I have encountered it isn't generating a crash report. It just goes away. I thought that GPU acceleration may be the issue and so turned it off. But, it didn't make a difference.
I uninstalled 23.0 and went back…

Illustrator 2018 Crashes
I have Surface Studio, 32 Gig, Windows 10. Today I installed the CC Updates and now Illustrator crashes every 2 or 3 minutes. I uninstalled Illustrator and reinstalled it, but the crashes continue. Finally in desperation I uninstalled Illustrator 2018 and reinstalled Illustrator 2017. At least now Illustrator is stable.
I sure would like to know what to do to fix the problem. You know it wouldn't be a bad idea if one could reach support with install problems.

UI freezes, then crashes. Can't save.
Last version is pretty unstable. Can't work with it, crashed several times since the update i made this morning. While working, UI freezes (but some tools are still availaible via keyboard shortcut), then crashes without message. Can't save when UI is freezed.
I'm going back to the previous version. Aren't you ashamed that EVERY TIME we update, softs become unusable for professionnal purpose?
Ho, and when will get ******' keyboard shortcut to rename layers? Is it in the current update at last?

Paste in Place gets object pasted into its original layer and not a selected one
Copy an object (Cmd + C), then create a new layer, select it and Paste it in Place in the new layer — the object gets placed in tis original layer instead.
8 votesThe 'Paste Remembers Layers' option in the Layers panel’s flyout menu regulates this behavior. When it is checked — Illustrator will honor the original layer of a copied artwork and paste it in the same layer, ignoring the selection of a layer.
However, if disabling this option does not help — please comment.

Bug: Illustrator 22.1 Not Usable Since Mojave Update
Mojave update on latest Illustrator CC version 22.1
Basic usage of Illustrator
Use Illustrator normally
Random mouse clicks, movements etc making illustrator unusable. It's as if the interface and cursor just has a mind of its own sometimes. Even happening with Illustrator CS6 - Photoshop and InDesign CC have no issues at all.

Please upgrade to version 23 to resolve the issue. -
Autosave disables itself
Windows 10, AI CC (latest release)
Autosave disables itself. When AI crashes - as it does - I get nothing.
I set auto-save for every 2 minutes in preferences. Then, after Illustrator crashes, I go back in to preferences to find it has unchecked that option. Nothing. I lose a load of work.
There are no expletives for how I feel about this. PLEASE sort it out?

ライブペイントオブジェクトにオーバープリントブラックを適用した際の問題
ライブペイントを適用したオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントブラックを適用するとライブペイント設定が消える。
macOS11.6
Illustrator CC2022以降再現手順
1. 線や麺の組み合わせでライブペイントを作成し着色する。
2. ライブペイントオブジェクトを選択し「編集→カラーを編集→オーバープリントブラック」を適用する。
3. ライブペイントに対して指定した処理が消え、閉図形外で保持されていた線も幅0.5pt、K100の黒に変化する。期待する結果
ライブペイントオブジェクトに対してオーバープリントした際、閉図形外のK100の線等以外にオーバープリント属性を適用せず、ライブペイントオブジェクトの状態を保持する。実際の結果
ライブペイントオブジェクトに指定した塗りなどの情報が消え、元から持っている線幅等の情報も一定値に変化する。代替処理
ライブペイントに対する「ブラックオーバープリント」は行わない。必要なオーバープリント指定は手動で指定するか、ライブペイントオブジェクト自体を拡張してから「ブラックオーバープリント」を適用する。7 votes -

Scaling Issue in large canvas Illustrator 24.2.1
When designing in the large canvas mode (anything larger than 227.5416 inches) the scaling does not work properly in the transform panel. For instance, if I start a document off making the canvas 240" x 240" and I draw a rectangle that is 12" x 12" and open the transform panel and enter 200% in the width or height field, it does not scale it up to 200%. It scales it down. However, if I am in the normal canvas mode (227" x 227") the scaling works correctly. This is an issue in Illustrator 24.2.1 using macbook pro with macOS…

In Adobe Illustrator Constrain Width and Height proportions doesnt work
I don't know why but 'Constrain Width and Height proportions doesn't work
in 'Transform' or 'Properties' panelWhenever I constrain and move the number up, it creates a weird number
for example, if the shape is 60,60 and when I write down 70 on the height the width becomes 69.256 something like thisso frustrating!!!!!!!!!
