  1. Horizontal Scroll **** + mouse wheel

    On mac OS, Illustrator version 27.8

    Scrolling horizontally using SHIFT key + mouse wheel, is broken, and appears to be an obvious mathematical error.

    Expected behaviour is for the view to scroll left or right.

    Actual behaviour is that is works at some zoom levels, say 300% or 400%, but at higher zoom levels it barely scrolls a few pixels, and at 100% or less, it scrolls the entire page or worse for the smallest increment of the mouse wheel.

    It seems clear that the zoom amount has been factored into the scroll amount inversely by accident.

  2. オブジェクトを再配色にて、RGBスライダーが短く表示される

    Mac OS 12.6 Monterey
    Illustrator27.2(27.1.*)

    再配色ウインドウを開いた時に、下部の調整部分がRGBだとバーが短く表示されます。CMYKや他の調整モードに切り替えた後RGBに戻すとバーの長さは戻りますが、何度も切り替えているとRGBのバーのみがまた短くなることがあります。
    27.2にアップデートすることで解決するかと思いましたが解決していなかったので、前のバージョンの正確な数字を覚えていないのですが27.1.*でも同様でした。

  3. Panels don’t stay where they were on the second monitor

    Since recent upgrade, NONE of the menu panels stay on screen. I use a second monitor for displaying attribute menus. Every time I now open Illustrator, these have disappeared and have to be reloaded. Very annoying.

  6. New Document modal misalignment

    When starting a new file, the modal that pops up where you can determine the document properties/preset details (title, size, orientation, bleed, color space, etc.) has the values for title, dimensions and bleed misaligned inside their bounding boxes.

  7. Using Illustrator “Paste In Front” creates a Find window on the Desktop

    Hi;
    I have recently begun having a paste in front (⌘F) issue in AI 2020.

    For DECADES I have been able to select an item and copy (⌘C) then paste in front (⌘F) to create a copy of the selection exactly on top that I can then step/move as needed.
    I have been doing this in the Illustrator 2020 application for years.

    Now when I’m in Illustrator and I hit the paste in front (⌘F), it takes me directly to the desktop and creates a Find window. (And Does Not Paste In Front!)

    I can use “Paste In Front” in…

  8. Buttons hidden below view for print dialogue

    When my screen view is in large type, the print dialogue popup buttons become hidden out of view below the edge of my screen. It's impossible to resize the dialogue menu and it can't be moved up either. Using command- to make screen elements smaller doesn't make any change. I can make the screen resolution a smaller size, tho to see the whole window. But this defeats the purpose of having my screen settings on large b/c then I can't read the words in the dialogue box. Someone else reported a similar problem with Acrobat (in a MS forum) https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cannot-see-bottom-buttons-of-print-dialogue-box-in/2ef12505-bf43-e011-90b6-1cc1de79d2e2

  9. Paste operation does not properly ignore the null termination character of ANSI string

    During a paste operation to the art board, the final null termination character of the clipboard is not ignored, but rendered as part of the string used to compse the text object.

    I'm attaching an image of the clipboard contents, and I made a video to show the behavior. Under Windows, simply copy the value from the color dialog box and then click the desktop and paste.

  10. Save on your computer or to Creative Cloud Dialog

    When Preferences under User Interface -> UI Scaling is set to large then the "Save on your computer or to Creative Cloud" is cut off and input boxes are cut off. The sizing is not right.

  13. Keyboard shortcuts not saving. Unable to change certain keyboard shortcuts.

    Latest updates are not storing keyboard shortcuts or reverting back to default with no way to resolve.

    I changed the CPU/GPU preview shortcut (cmd+E) to something else and set cmd+E to be a shortcut for Expand. It doesn't update in the menu and reverts back after restarting Illustrator. I've tried reinstalling, reseting preferences and deleting my custom keyboard shortcuts and resetting them with no success at keeping the shortcuts as I've set them.

    I should be able to overwrite or change keyboard shortcuts, especially those that aren't used as often and I don't personally see the need to have a…

  14. Home screen user interface not fully loading - looks like script - can't open templates either

    when I open Ai, the home screen UI doesn't seem to be loading correctly or all the way. see image below. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, updated my graphics card (Radeon AMD Vega 64) and made sure windows 10 was up to date. I'm able to open a blank file by clicking on the templates, but if I try to create my own new project, I just get a blank pop-up box.

  16. UI Issues with Two Monitor Setup

    When I open Illustrator, sometimes it opens across both of my monitors with ridiculous scaling that causes it to be massive. It takes several full screen corner pulls to get it to a manageable size. Secondly, if I try to do a full screen preview on my second monitor, the whole thing just crashes, without fail, every time, so I am stuck designing on my laptop monitor instead of the secondary monitor.

    Lenovo Think Pad running Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10885H CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz with 32 GB RAM, and NVIDIA RTX 2080 Max-Q on Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2

  17. Bug: In-app "Learn" window is just a peach colored rectangle

    Computer:

    MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
    2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2 GB

    OS:

    Mac Big Sur 11.2.3

    AI version:

    v.25.2.1

    Steps:

    I have never accessed the in-app "Learn" tutorial feature, but after updating to AI v.25.2.1 today, I decided to try it by clicking the lightbulb icon in the upper toolbar.

    Expected result:

    The Learn window would open up displaying various clickable tutorials.

    Actual result:

    The Learn window opened up, but instead of displaying clickable tutorials, the entire window is filled with a peach colored rectangle. Hovering over…

  18. tutorial

    My goodness please get rid of the tutorial window that automatically pops up every time I use illustrator. It obscures the window, it keeps coming back, and half the text is missing so I can't see the options. It is glitched.

    It is under a lightbulb icon. Please make it so that it never shows up again or make a way to remove it.

  19. UI scales are off even after adjustment - icons, ruler, menu

    The ruler always seems to get hidden after updates but also it is very small relative to the icons and file menu.

    This means at 100% UI scale the ruler is too small but at medium (doesn't say what % for some reason) the ruler is too big and icons are way too big.

    This only became an issue when I started using higher resolution monitors (anything greater than 1920x1080). So my guess is it has something to do with a relationship with Windows 10 GUI and Illustrator.

    Any insight would be appreciated and questions welcomed. Attached is illustrator at…

  20. Transform>Reflect defaulting to random angle

    At some point in the last week (version 25.0.1) right clicking on a selection and applying "Transform>Reflect" opens up the reflect UI panel but instead of defaulting to horizontal or vertical, it's defaulting to "Angle" and a completely random number. Constantly having to correct this is a right faff.

    It's tricky to recreate but has happened multiple times over the last few days. In this case reflecting a cat 50.9 degrees!?

    Maybe I'm just the only one!
