  1. Selection Highlight stops working

    After working on a file for several minutes or hours ... the selection highlight feature stops working. The active selection is not highlighted. Sometimes, if I move it around, is starts to work. Other times, it does not work even if I move it around. It gets annoying when I'm trying to work fast and I do not know what I have selected to apply a modification.

    Seems to go away when I restart AI, but it is not practical be restarting AI every-time I open a new file to work on or copy from.

  3. Illustrator Closes multiple menu items

    Dear Adobe

    I have recently come across a bug when multiple files are open in illustrator. When you close one of them it closes them all.

    Please can you kindly investigate this. It is an absolute pain when saving out multiple logo files.

    It might be my latest software update

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Best wishes

    Jay

    Look foward to heariong from you

  4. Fermer fichier

  6. Adobe Color panel not working - cut off

    The Adobe colour theme panel does not work - it is persistently cut off to the right hand side, the panel can not be dragged to the right and fully opened up. It is unusable. It does not behave correctly when docked with another panel either.

    Serious bug that has been around for ages, well over a year and not fixed.

    Current version of illustrator on fully up to date windows 10 machine 64 bit.

    Preferences have been cleared/re-set, as has cache. I've also reinstalled illustrator and get same behavior. I've also tried with general Ui font size setting, nothing…

  7. Angezeigte Höhe eines Kreises und Position ist falsch.

    Windows Illustrator Version 25.2.1 64bit

    Zum radialen Anordnen von Zahlen benutze ich immer einen runden Aussenkreis.

    Wie folgt gehe ich dabei vor:

    • Arbeitkreis Zeichnen XY auf 0, Ø40mm
    • zu positionierende Zahl anwählen > und positionieren : X 0 Y 13mm
    • Kreis und Zahl anwählen drehen um 18°
    • nächste Zahl anwählen > und positionieren : X 0 Y 13mm
    • Kreis und Zahl anwählen drehen um 18°
    • und so weiter

    jedoch musste ich jetzt feststellen, dass sich die angezeigte Höhe des Kreises in der Werkzeugleiste der Höhe der sich im Kreis befindenden Zahlen anpasst und auch die Y Position dadurch ändert. Obwohl…

  10. Ich vermisse den einfachen Einstieg in Illustrator

    Warum ist es auf einmal nicht mehr möglich ein simples Dokument in A4 in Illustrator zu öffnen. Schon ziemlich dämlich gemacht. Wer will denn immer diese Vorlagen? Kreativ geht auch anders!! Kann ich das irgendwie ändern? Das ist einfach nur doof!

  12. Illustrator uses precise cursors despite being disabled

    From CS6 till CC 25.2, Illustrator has always mistakenly used precise cursors every now and then, despite the fact that the option is disabled in the preferences. Please fix this issue (Windows version).

  13. Illustrator ignores the names of directory aliases in the Library button of the Graphic Styles palette.

    Man this is a super fiddly bug and it is gonna slide right down the bottom of the priority pile given that most of your resources are currently tied up in "rewrite this whole codebase from scratch for iOS" but hey. It's a tiny little one and maybe it's an easy one to slip into someone's queue for when they need a break from that.

    Anyway. So I'm on OSX, and I still prefer to manage my style/brush/symbol/etc libraries by using the computer's filesystem instead of trying to figure out the Libraries palette.

    And I just discovered that if you…

  14. Changing size when creating a new doc

    There is a small bug that has been introduced into Adobe illustrator a few versions ago that hasn't been corrected. I simply want to make you aware of it so that the development team can take a look. When creating a new file and entering in the dimensions, the dimension values can't be 'selected and deleted'. They don't highlight so you can't select and delete them like you can any other value box in illustrator. You have to click into them, then hit the backspace. It's minor but annoying that they don't work the same way as everything else.

  15. Tool palettes on 2nd screen don't always act on the current file

    I keep my main screen clear by putting option palettes on my second screen, which mostly works perfectly. However, if I have another document open on that second screen, some commands get applied that second-screen document instead of the one I'm currently working on the main screen.

    To recreate this: On a 2-screen setup open a document on each screen, working in a document on screen 1 while the Layers Palette is on screen 2 out of the way.

    Click the eye symbol to hide a layer and it affects the live document on screen 1, as you'd expect.

    Option…

  16. Illustrator gets hung up when attempting to search in the help box

    Bug Fix - Clicked in help box and as soon as I started to type something I got the rotating color circle of death. I was lucky enough to escape out of it this time.

  17. separation preview

    You have to turn off each color individually in separation preview .
    With Photoshop you only need to click on a color. Hold down the mouse button and then pull it up or down to switch more colors on or off. So if you want to switch 10 colors off and on again, for example, you have to click the mouse a total of 20 times.
    With Photoshop you only need two clicks for this process.
    Why isn't this done at Illustrator?

  18. Find Font dialog

    I'm testing the Illustrator Beta version 25.3.192@232370 running on Big Sur 11.2. There seem to be quite a few display issues. Measurement labels are covered in a gray box so can't be seen and the Find Font dialog box is corrupted so can not be used.

  19. Typeface combo box doesn't work in Glyphs palette

    Cannot open list of typefaces.
    Clicking on down arrow next to field results in highlighting the whole field, next click switches highlighting off.
    Starting to type in field (to provide typeface name) just empties the field and does nothing more.
    Next field - typeface style (bold, italic etc.) works fine.
