  2. Keyboard shortcuts quit working periodically?

    Occasionally while I'm in Illustrator, my keyboard shortcuts will randomly stop working for roughly 30 seconds at a time. The issue resolves without me having to restart, but it happens a couple times a day usually. I have custom shortcuts but it also happens for defaults (like cmd + s for saving). I thought it was lag at first, but I'm able to use the same commands from the drop down menus without issue.

    I'm running macOS Mojave 10.14.6 with Illustrator 25.4.4, and I have several Esko plug-ins for work.

  3. Illustrator chokes when interacting with the UI

    Since I updated to 26.0.2, Illustrator is choking when I interact with any part of the UI, like opening and navigating through menus, moving windows, selecting different tools, etc. For the most part, the issue is not that bad when designing, but when I use the UI is almost unusable. This never happened with any older version.
    The video I´m uploading as a reference doesn´t have any drop-frames.

    My system:
    Windows 10 (10.0.19043 Build 19043)
    CPU: Intel I9 9900K
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080
    RAM: 64 GB DDR4
    System Drive: Samsung NvME SSD 970PRO 512GB

  4. Ok/Cancel positions reversed on Mac/Windows versions

    Is there a reason why the ok and cancel buttons are flipped when you switch from Mac to PC? I use both platforms every day and it's really disorienting. Can this be made consistent across both platforms, or is this an Apple/Microsoft issue?

  5. Voreinstellung Einheit Allgemein Millimeter wird nicht gespeichert

    Beim Schließen von AI sollte die Voreinstellung Einheit-Allgemein-Millimeter sowie alle anderen Voreinstellungen gespeichert werden. Das ist leider nicht der Fall.

    Meine Systemangaben:
    Windows 10, AI Version 25.2

    Wenn ich die voreingestellte Allgemeine Einheit von punkt auf Millimeter ändere, dann die geöffnete Datei speichere, AI schließe, wieder öffne und irgendeine Datei öffne, oder auch AI durch den Aufruf einer Datei oder der vorher geöffneten Datei öffne, ist die Allgemeine Einheit wieder auf dem voreingestellten Wert "Punkt".

    Ich erwarte mir, daß der Wert dann Millimeter ist, weil ich ja die Voreinstellungen geändert habe.

    Freundliche Grüße

  8. Resizing window distorts artwork and interface

    Selecting Edit>Recolor Artwork resulted in Illustrator distorting the contents of the user interface when the application window was resized. I was unable to replicate the problem after restarting Illustrator. The attached screenshot is not resized, it is exactly as Illustrator appeared after the bug manifested.

  9. Lag when mouseover on Font menu

    On macOS, if you click the "Type" menu in the menubar at the top of the screen, then hover over "Font" in the dropdown menu, there is serious lag as the fonts load. Sometimes if you're just passing over the Font option on your way to another item, you can experience lag for 3-5 seconds as the fonts load anyway.

    Illustrator 26.0.1, macOS 10.15.7, Macbook Pro 2019 16" 8 core i9.

  11. Menus aren't opening, or opening and closing fast. Isn't possible click and anything.

    On opening screen, it's not open Preferences menu or choose any options at document presets. The tab open and closes very fast.
    It's not access swatches, write the name of the file, access export menus, nothing.

    This problem started at version 22. Seem corrected, but the issue back after some minutes or hours of use. It's totally random.

    See videos below. Since september 2021.

    The issue is happening with other people at Adobe Community forum.

  12. Paused tutorial video, can't play again

    Trying to use tutorials to learn Illustrator. Pausing video to try things within the program results in me being unable to press play to continue the video. This requires me to restart my computer if I want to watch the video again.

  14. resizing a document window in illustrator is glitchy

    Mac OS 10.15.7
    AI 25.3.1

    Resizing an open document window is glitchy and not smooth at all. The artboard and imagery on it jump around as the window is resized. It's visually disrupting to workflow.

  19. Saving under macOS with cmd-S and cmd-D results in an error

    I save my AI document under macOS 10.15.7 with the key combination cmd-S and immediately also press cmd-D so that the document lands on the desktop.

    Since Illustrator 25.4.1, this results in an error message. I have to wait a while after pressing cmd-S before I can press cmd-D. Only then does it work.

    Speichern unter macOS mit cmd-S, cmd-D ergibt Fehler

    Ich speichere meine AI-Dokument unter macOS 10.15.7 mit der Tastenkombination cmd-S und drücke sofort auch cmd-D, damit das Dokument auf dem Schreibtisch landet.

    Seit Illustrator 25.4.1 ergibt das je doch eine Fehlermeldung. Ich muss nach cmd-S etwas warten,…

  20. Missing feature in the French version - UI scaling

    L'option UI scaling dans Edition > Preferences > Interface utilisateur n'est pas dispo dans la version française. Mes collègues qui ont comme moi la version 25.4.1 en anglais ont cette option. Je n'arrive pas à installer la version en anglais, le changement de langue dans creative Cloud n'est pas pris en compte. J'aimerais disposer de cette option.

    This option is available only when OS and display’s resolution allow it.

    As this help article mentions, 'The UI scaling isn't supported for Windows 7 and for screens with low resolution' (however, no actual specs are given).

    So this should no be caused by the UI language.

    Please share the specs of your display or comment back if it’s no longer a problem.
