  1. Preview of color selections (AI 26.0.2)

    I am from Release of Illustrator, which the preview of color selections, if activated, does not allow me to enlarge over 1200%, because the screen becomes all gray. I tried in preferences> performance to activate and deactivate the GPU, without any change. I tried to trash all the preferences, without any change. I tried to uninstall Illustrator, without any change.

    [Sono da diversione release di illustrator, che l'Anteprima di selezioni colori, se attivata, non mi permette di ingrandire oltre il 1200%, perchè lo schermo diventa tutto di colore grigio.

  2. Slow performance after selecting grouped layers

    2020 Intel Mac, MacOS 12.2, Illustrator 26.0.2
    Illustrator works fine until I multiple click, deep into an object layer. Once I see object properties the whole app starts to slow drastically. Scrolling, zooming, selecting objects are all delayed. The only solution is to restart the app and not accidentally click into the layers.

  3. object remaining after command z causing memory error message

    I attempted to duplicate an artboard full of clipping masks and objects but afterwards, clicked command z. All quickly as unintended results. It left behind one box with transparency effect. every attempt to move this left behind object, caused the error "Can't move the objects. There isn't enough memory ID: -108"
    Removing the objects seems to removed the problem.

  6. Inputing data in chart causes crash

    Please fix this god-awful program. Just simply changing the data in the chart tool often causes the program to crash. I have to repair and reboot at least once a week just to fix problems with Illustrator. I don't care about new features ... please, please fix bugs that cause crashes that have existed for decades in the program!

  8. crashes opening .ai files

    AI worked fine on Saturday (25 Sep), today the same files crash the program. Update over the weekend? Can AI stop pushing updates that turn the program into a brick? In Alaska, we don't have unlimited bandwidth, we have to pay everytime I am forced to uninstall and redownload/re-install adobe programs for BAD updates. Why do we pay you to be in a constant beta?

  9. Masking/clipping a sprayed Symbol Set drops performance

    Was working with spraying symbols to create a pattern, and then masking it. Symbol spraying etc, work great, until you mask them (transparency mask or clipping mask) after which any editing of symbols grinds to a halt.

    Even after unmasking, the symbols still cannot be quickly edited.

  10. Stylus is slow using touch workspace

    Using a stylus on normal workspace is more responsive than using brush or pencil tool on touch workspace which is about a second lap to show what we drew

  11. Program Unresponsive, gets confused & Forgets what is active, Illustrator Beta 25.5.360. Apple M1

    Program will have items highlighted either in Artboard or normal view modes. Deleting stops working. Pointer moves. Re-Highlight stuff, and it will delete or accept type. It's like the program forgets what is active various things.

  12. Program beta response to clicking/deleting... lagging

    Simple clicking to deactivate a tool, or deleting objects now have a distinct delay. Something has changed in the Illustrator Beta this week that looses track of what is highlighted.

  13. Adobe illustraitor new beta version freezing with M1 chip

    I have recently upgraded to the Macboook pro M1 chip, and my adobe illustraior would not work at all, freezing and needing to force restart everytime I tried to use it. Adobe then released the Beta version, compatible with the Silicon M1 chip and I upgraded, however now it seems llike my Illustraitor has a lag.
    Every 5 seconds or couple of movements, the screen freezes for about 10 seconds and then catches up. I have restarted, reopened and no change. I am unsure of what else to do as work is now impossible, if anyone has experienced anything similar…

  14. Illustrator 25.3.1 Increase Text with Shift Option Broken

    When I hold down shift and option key to expand text it won't enlarge the text.
    Not sure what I am doing wrong or if this is a bug. Would be super helpful if your team were to fix this issue if it were a bug.

    Thank you for all that you do.

  17. Illustrator Crash/Not Running

    Operating System: Windows 10
    Version: Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1

    After the last update, some of my documents on Creative Cloud do not open, unless I create duplicate and run the duplicate.

    The updated Illustrator crashes more often, specially if I have a lot of layers.

  18. Beta 25.4 – Crashing when in isolation mode (Big Sur 11.4)

    I'm running both the Apple Silicon Beta version (25.4) of Illustrator and 25.3.1 via the Rosetta emulator, and having the same issue across both. Huge amounts of lag occur when double clicking an object to enter isolation mode. At first I thought it was because the file I was working on had a bunch of linked images, but now even new files with a single vector object drawn will have the same lag issue. A shutdown of the machine sees a new file operate as expected, until I enter isolation mode, and then the same issue occurs. Close that file,…
