  1. Text increase size turns to white block

    When I am placing a text box, once editing the text, and I try to increase it's Size atall, the fill colour Keeps turning to white on it's own so any text then appears as a weird white block — once I delete the text, part of the box glitches and stays on screen. l am also having issues in being able to use the brush tool, with it just appearing as a symbol. This makes the program unusable. It is a school account

  2. Text is Invisible - All Fonts, All Colors, Sizes, View Modes, Etc.

    Windows 10, 12GB RAM, Nvidia 850M, i7-4710HQ (Laptop) - But I have also had this issue on a beefy desktop

    Illustrator Version 26.0.2

    Recent attempts to use illustrator on my desktop and laptop have yielded an app that cannot render text in any form. I have tried every solution offered thus far -- resetting preferences, checking text fill and stroke, ensuring opacity is Normal, etc. and nothing fixes this bug. I have restarted the computer and reinstalled the program. For my work this is a program-breaking bug.

  3. 文字組みアキ量設定の読み込みで名称に「コピー」が付与される

    Illustrator Ver.26.0.2の、文字組みアキ量設定の読み込みに関する不具合です。

    1. 任意名称で文字組みアキ量設定を作成する
    2. 書き出しを使ってmjkファイルを書き出す
    3. 2のファイルを別のファイルで読み込みする

    この結果として、元の名称のまま読み込まれるのではなく、「●● コピー」(●●は元名称)と、必ず「コピー」が付きます。

    Windows 11および、macOS 12.1環境いずれでも発生する問題となっています。

    ご報告いただきました現象を ver.26.0.2 で確認できました。

    同名の文字組み設定がない場合でも、「コピー」が追加された文字組み名として読み込まれているようです。

    今後の開発の進捗がありましたら、こちらで報告いたします。

  4. Activate Fonts fails silently

    Activate Fonts fails silently. No reason given to the user. The bug is the silent fail, not that it fails at all as there could be many reasons.

  5. Text pasted from Photoshop resizes by interesting ratio

    When live text copied from Photoshop is pasted into Illustrator (or the other way 'round), it resizes.
    The amount of change is predictable (and infuriating):
    the PSD's resolution divided by 72 (when pasting into Illustrator) or
    72 divided by the PSD's resolution (when pasting into Photoshop)

    Process:
    Highlight text in Photoshop with the Type tool (example: resolution is 300ppi)
    Copy it
    Paste into an Illustrator document (neither raster effects resolution nor type unit of measurement matter)

    Result: text is very different (300/72 times larger for text from a 300ppi Photoshop doc)
    Type copied in AI then pasted into a 300ppi…

  6. テキスト操作時のIビームの点滅が早すぎる

    Illustrator 26.0 (Intel/Ja_JP)
    macOS10.15.7

    テキスト入力時のIビームのフリッカが強すぎる。Tツールにてマウスカーソルを移動し挿入点を変更した際に特に早くなります。現象の動画を添付します。
    入力時はカーソル付近を注視するため図形明滅刺激の影響による健康被害の発生につながる可能性もあります。ver.25の仕様に戻していただきたいと思います。
    また、M1でも同様の挙動との報告を受けております。

  8. All caps switching off

    Type with all caps is changing back to whatever case it was typed in. In other words the all caps attribute is switching off. I'm pretty sure this is not operator error.

  9. Text disappearing when outlined

    When outlining text in Illustrator, some of the text is disappearing, as though under a clipping mask, The text outlines are present but the text is not visible.
    Turning the fill to overprint stops this happening, but I can't overprint white text....

    I have tried on a brand new file, so there are no formatting issues. The typeface is irrelevant it happens on all types .otf or .ttf...

  10. Diacritical characters are displayed incompletely

    I create fonts and need diacritical marks above or below letters for European fonts. When I copy the following text
    ́ ˘ ̧ ̒ ̋ ̏ ̀ ̌ ̦ ̊ ̄ · ̨ ̣ ̇ ̷ ̃ ̈ ^
    from TextEdit (Mac) into Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1 (Mac), many of the characters disappear.
    The problem does not occur in Affinity Designer. So please repair this bug, thanks.

  11. テキストにセットしたFOT-UD角ゴが正しく表示されない。(設定の狂った小塚ゴシックで表示される)

    テキストにセットしたFOT-UD角ゴフォントが正しく表示されない。
    ドキュメント内のすべてのFOT-UD角ゴに適用されるわけではなく、正常に表示される部分とされない部分が存在している。

    ドキュメントを開いた際に、FOT-UD角ゴではなく、UDKakugo LargePr6N-M-90ms-RKSJ-H*のアクティベートを求められることから、UD角ゴを指定した際に、フォントの英語名での指定にすり替わっているのではないかと考えられる。

    ディアクティベーション後にリアクティベーションしても治らない。
    ドキュメントをFOT-UD角ゴで作って保存後に閉じて開きなおすと、UD-kakugoがないとされて、表示が崩れる。
    その後、FOT-UD角ゴを指定しなおしても、小塚ゴシックで表示される。
    なので保存をするとUD角ゴを使っていた部分すべてが崩れる。
    修正をしても保存したら崩れる。
    Adobe Fonts側の問題なのか、illustrator側の問題かわからないので、ここに報告しておく。

    (フォントの内部的にUDkakukgoの情報が保持されていて、上書きができない?)

  12. Kerning Issues with latest update

    The last Illustrator update has caused havoc with all of my type placement for files saved under the previous version. I tried to change color modes for a project and all of my text shifted (different now between the digital and print versions). This would seem to be a bug; the kerning gets super tight and some of the empty spaces (just the space character) all but disappear, compacting words together. This is happening all files I've tested with and on a system running Windows 10 (not sure if the same issue exists on Mac environments). Is this something that's…

  13. Variable Fonts style order on Character pallete

    When a variable font has an instance (that is not the first master) set as the default, it shows on top of the list and not in its right place. It should not move to the top of the list.
    Please see images.

  16. Textframe bugs out, and won't change color. Had to make new text boxes

    Found a bug where a specific text box will NOT ovewrite the color of the text. I tried deleting paragraph styles, making new paragraph styles with different color, character styles and eyedropper tool. I can change weight, italics etc but the color would NOT change, despite the changes appearing in the appearance panels and other areas. Fixed by making new text boxes and moving the copy to those, but an annoying bug for sure.

  18. 25.2.1 Windows 10 - Occasionally No Fonts Load

    I am not sure if this is a reproducible but on Windows 10 1909, since upgrading to Illustrator 25.2.1 will occasionally not load any fonts after opening. The font selection dropdown list is entirely blank and no system fonts or activated typekit fonts show. I have no issue with fonts in any other programs.

  19. Kerning not working between first two characters of any word

    No matter what I do, I can't adjust the kerning between the first two characters of any word in illustrator. The rest of the word can be spaced just fine, just not between the the first two letters. Please help, this is sort of an essential duty of this software.

  20. TEXT TOOL NOT WORKING - WEIRD SHAPES APPEAR

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same issue remains

    I create a text box and it looks like a barcode, kind of. I can't type anything. If I type, the weird barcode thing disappears and no works appear. If I type a lot of random characters and enlarge it and unselect the box it gets weirder, it just become a giant jagged blob. I can't explain it any better than that. Extremely annoying.
