  1. Consistent Display Bug

    1. MacBook pro 2021, big sur 11.4
    2. version 25.3.1

    On textured illustrations or illustrations using clipping masks, solid white boxes/sometimes pixel shapes sometimes larger, will appear. Some components I can zoom close enough in that they disappear, but some sketches I would be zooming in so far as to crop the sketch before the white boxes disappear.

    It is not the same as before where clipping masks would look completely unclipped. This is a different glitch in the newest update. It makes it so in order to take a screenshot of a sketch, I need to close and save and open…

  2. Illustrator stürzt nach Umschalten auf "Pfadansicht" ab.

    Windows 10 - Illustrator 25.3.1

    Ein Dokument in welchem ein 1px Raster mit 4 Unterteilungen angelegt wurde, bringt nach umschalten auf die Pfadansicht das Programm zum abstürzen.
    Wenn ich den Raster ausblende, funktioniert Illustrator einwandfrei.

  4. 合成フォント使用時に、欧文書体のベースラインがずれる

    1. macOS Catalina 10.15.5 Mac mini (2018) プロセッサ/3.2 GHz 6コアIntel Core i7 メモリ/16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 グラフィックス/Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

    Adobe illustrator 2021(25.2.1)

    2.問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
    和文と欧文で合成フォントを作成。
    今回は「TBゴシックstd」と「Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk」を使用。
    Berthold Akzidenz Groteskのサイズを112%、ベースラインを-2%に設定。
    テキストをアウトライン化時に発見。

    3.想定していた結果
    普通にアウトライン化される。

    4.実際の結果
    GPUプレビュー使用時に合成フォントの欧文ベースラインが正しく反映されて表示されない。
    検証したところ、フォントサイズ24ptまではベースラインの数値が反映されず0%で表示。25pt以上でズレて表示される。
    25ptで一番顕著にズレが発生し、フォントサイズが大きくなるにつれてズレ幅が少なくなっていく。
    アウトライン化すると表示からズレて、(おそらく)ベースラインに入力した数値が反映された位置でオブジェクトになる。

    入稿時などにアウトライン化する際にズレが発生するため非常に危険です。

    こちら「合成フォントで欧文フォントのベースラインが正しく反映されない」という問題ですが、ご報告いただいたフォント以外の組み合わせの合成フォントで再現いたしますか?
    他のフォントで検証しておりますが、再現できませんでした。

  5. Pathfinder Issue - fill not snapping to path in different situations

    This has been happening to me repeatedly for months during different applications of using the pathfinder tool. Usually with using the exclude option. A part of a shape – in the attached case, outlined letters – will be partially filled even though the path shows that they are not filled. It also doesn't seem to matter if I subtract the shapes using the Shape Builder tool or the Pathfinder. I still end up with color filling areas that should be subtracted and the path shows that they are subtracted. This is a process I use for separating files for printing…

  6. GPU support crashes reproducibly on different Macs (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.x)

    The hole GPU support with Illustrator 2021 is broken on the Mac with Big Sur since the release of CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.2.3). GPU support works with a blank document. The GPU support crashes reproducibly: switch on rulers > GPU crashes, open document with guides > GPU crashes, double click on grouped elements > GPU crashes, resize artboard > GPU crashes. Several upates went by without help. Every (!) colleague I have spoken to has struggles with the same bug since the release of Ai 2021. Both of my Macs (iMac i9 with Vega48 & M1…

  10. GPU se desactiva perdiendo los perfiles de color en pantalla y tampoco permite ver Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba

    Sin motivo al parecer se cambiaron los colores de los PSD linkeados perdiendo los perfiles de color. Se cambió a CPU y no puedo volver a GPU porque aparece en gris, al igual que Ajustes de Prueba ni Colores de Prueba. Al ir al Menú Edición/Ajustes de Color aparece "Emular Adobe Illustrator 6.0". Reinicio Illustrator y al abrir cualquier documento elimina los perfiles incrustados en él.

  11. Illustrator 25 very low with ICC profiles other than appleRGB and sRGB

    Hi,
    Illustrator 25 and Indesign 16 are very very slow with other ICC profiles than AppleRGB and sRGB. For example, if you switch to a profile you created yourself with Eizo colour navigator, Illustrator becomes so slow that you can no longer use it reasonably. Switching to sRGB or AppleRGB is not an option because of the lack of colour binding.
    The problem also existed in Lightroom 10.1. and was fixed by the Lightroom developers in 10.2. Maybe the Illustrator teams should get together with the Lightroom teams to fix the problem.
    Here is a video showing the problem:

  13. GPU Preview Disabled when Importing CMYK/RGB Vectors through CC Libraries

    In the latest version of Illustrator (25.2.1) If you try place a linked vector file through Libraries into a document that is in a different format eg. CMYK into an RGB document or RGB into a CMYK Document and it is a vector, GPU acceleration is disabled. This does not occur in Illustrator 24.

    I've tested this by opening a CMYK Document, placing a linked CMYK file and everything works as expected. If you place a linked RGB vector it will cause the GPU to stop working. The opposite works the same way, placed a linked CMYK file into an…

  16. Cannot Preview - Mac m1

    Cannot Preview in Illustrator on Mac m1, running Mac OS 11.2.3.
    I just upgraded Illustrator. I have worked on this file for a couple of hours. It is a file with several items and many paths. All of a sudden I lost Preview mode. Even after restarting the computer, I cannot get the preview back on all of these items by using Command Y. I manually turned on eyeballs in the layers pallet, it turned on a couple of items but then warning dialog appeared again. I don't know if this is a bug or my computer gone awry..

  17. Text edits dont show in GPU mode

    Windows 10 20H2
    Omen 15 Ryzen 7 4800, GTX 1660Ti , 16Ram
    Illustrator 2021

    On going issues since if i remember 2016 or so.

    When GPU is enabled, lots of time when i edit a textframe it wont show the updates. The textframe keeps showing old text, zooming doesnt fix it. Only thing which fixes this is either move the textframe or deactive GPU and restart illustrustrator.

    I first noticed this issue on my old Mac at the office, this cant be updated due to old OS its running. Now i still noticed it on my Windows system running 2021

  20. "View Using GPU" Greys Out Using Images with "ProPhoto RGB" Colour Profiles

    AI Version: 25.2
    OS: MacOS 11.2.1
    Using GPU Preview
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

    Problem:
    - "View Using GPU" is visible and enabled
    - Adding linked images (in this case a JPEG) with a "ProPhoto RGB" colour profile applied to the image file will cause "View Using GPU" to become disabled and greyed out.

    Expected Behaviour:
    - Linked Images with any colour profile applied should not effect the ability to use the "View Using GPU" setting.

    Workaround:
    - Open the image in Photoshop and convert it to another colour profile like sRGB IEC61966-2.1 then save the image. …
