  1. Document Setup - Artboard size not showing cursor

    Pre update the artboard size fields (W: and H: fields) after clicking Document Setup button in top toolbar would show cursor position. After updating to 24.2 the cursor is no longer visible. The field will highlight but we are not able to see the cursor position.

    Please allow for cursor to be visible inside these fields.

  3. Tiny UI

    UI is super tiny and remains that way even if I choose "large scaling" in the UI preferences. I even updated the program and it's still an issue. operating on windows 10 and Adobe 2020.

  4. automatic page zoom after hiding Illustrator

    Mac OS 10.15.5
    Driver[0] Name: AMD Radeon Pro 580X OpenGL Engine
    OpenGL Version: 4.1 ATI-3.9.15
    Illustrator Version: 24.1.3

    I frequently hide Illustrator with cmd-H keyboard shortcut.
    I kept noticing the system chime when returning to Illustrator.
    I recently noticed the zoom entry at the lower left corner was highlighted when returning.
    I don't think this should be highlighted, waiting for me to type a zoom percentage when I come back to Illustrator. The chime is for an incorrect entry.

  6. drop down boxes appear off screen - instead of simply dropping down.

    I encounter and issue in illustrator where my drop-down menus appear either on the left of my screen or in the case of the Variable Width Profile opens at the bottom of my screen, (outside of illustrator) and won't allow me to select the profile I would prefer. It's a floating box but it won't allow me to move it. I have a similar issue in Premier as well. I don't have this issue in PS, so it appears as exlcusive to illustrator.

  7. Variable width profile is off screen

    I don't understand why but this bug is visible not only in illustrator but also in Premier.

    My issue is that many of the scroll, drop down tools or options appear in random areas of my work area. Most specific is my Variable width profile - instead of dropping down, it appears on the lower end of my illustratror window. I have multiple monitors and on one (IMAC 27") the full drop-down appears on the lower end of the work area. On my LG 34" inch, it appears partially off-screen, none the less off my work area. I have adjusted…

  9. Incompatibility with the App 'RightZoom'

    I was investigating a phenomena of very slow selection of objects and an unintentional motion of object to the cursor position although mouse is not pressed (object not dragged).

    I found, after a lot of test and eliminations that the problem was conflict with the app 'RightZoom' that allows Window Zoom while keeping menu visible, something that Mac normally does not do (menu line disappears, appearing only when mouse is pushed to the upper border). Once the app is shutdown or removed, selection goes back to normal - fast and stable.

  11. Updated UI has some issues - Tired of Updating - Tired of Bugs

    Happy that Adobe continues to try to update the products. That being said I'm a little worn. I constantly get notifications from Adobe Creative Cloud App about updates and there seems to be some issues. Still working out of a previous version of InDesign for numerous reasons. Weirdly found all of my Creative Cloud docs (of which there's not too many luckily) in the trash can this AM. I was able to recover a heart skip and waste of time later. Additionally the Illustrator Update... Well... Just looks sloppy. Help me, help you... And give us a good products with…

  12. To page view or workspace view rotate option

    Ever try to work on a building drawing that's flopped 90° to the right because your overprice copy of Adobe Illustrator doesn't have the option to SIMPLY rotate the view?

  16. report a bug

    Mac OSX 10.15.3, on a MacBook Air
    I have 2 screens. Built in and Cinema Display (It's stacked above).
    When Illustrator is expanded to full screen on the Cinema Display, the fx button doesn't show it's menu option. If the application window is less than the full height of the screen, it shows up. Note: My Appearance panel was at the bottom of the screen, so the fx button is at the bottom of the display.

  17. Reporting error on translation to Spanish

    I want to report a translation error (Spanish version) in the last version of AI that I've installed.I cannot find where to report it in the web, through a form or similar, so I decided to publish it here. I will write it in Spanish because is related to the Spanish version.

    Cuando intento aplicar un nuevo efecto "transformar" a un objeto que ya tiene ese efecto aplicado, me avisa que:

    "Esto se aplicará a otra instancia de este efecto.

    Para editar el efecto actual, haga doble clic en el nombre del panel Aspecto."

    El panel en cuestión, no se…

  18. Changing/removing "View using GPU/CPU" does not take effect.

    I use the command + e shortcut for another function, but no matter how many times i remove or change this shortcut from "View using GPU/CPU" it immediately reverts back.

    It got resolved by assigning the new shortcut for 'View using GPU/CPU' / removing the old. Can be treated as a solution, but it’s still unclear how Illustrator allowed two identical hotkeys exist at the same time (usually a warning gets displayed, and the older command gets blanked). So if anyone has the same problem — please comment.

  19. Illustrator 2020 v24.1.1 - "Real-Time Drawing and Editing" can't save new symbol

    I tested the new Real-Time Drawing and Editing feature today and found that once I finished my drawing, dragging it over to the Symbols pane to create a new symbol as I normally would resulted in the attached error.

    This was the first bit of work I had done since enabling this new feature so I suspected it was the cause and I moved on to two other projects to confirm. One of those worked correctly - the simpler project - and the other did not. So two out of three drawings could not be turned into symbols, and the…

  20. Cannot maximize, minimize, resize, or close the program because the top bar is MISSING

    "Application Frame" doesn't exist in the Window drop down and that is the ONLY advice you give to fix this bug. I can't even use the program until this issue is fixed so it's useless paying for CC
