  1. Color Bug

    When I move objects, the colors bug out. As you can see in the picture ''Bug'' , I am only using different shades of purple and the light orange that is in the background, as shown in ''Bug 2'' . All of the darker orange is not supposed to be there and they only appear when I move objects around. This continues unless I move the screen off the artwork and then go back, then it dissapears but comes back as soon as I move an object. So far I'm unable to find a solution for this, so I would…

  2. illustrator freezes when moving object, task that was not a problem before oct 21 update.

    Since last update, I have a problem moving some object in illustrator without it to freeze, making impossible to work. only workaround is to disable GPU acceleration, witch I don't like since I use scrubby zoom all the time now, and the experience is not as smooth.

    I made driver update to my graphic card (Nvidia Quadro P2000) everything is up to date.

    Please hurry... I consider uninstalling latest update so I can work more efficiently

  3. Guides are invisible

    The update made my guides disappear unless I click on the object or artboard. It would be OK, but when I use the arrows to move the guides they disappear and I can't see how far I have moved them. May I change this update back to how it was.

  5. Zoom w/ Command + Space Bar screen grays out

    Hi - when I zoom in close to anything in AI using Command + Space Bar I will get a grayed out background and the object is very pixelized & strange looking - see attached screenshot. This happens about 50% of the time I do this. Can you look into fixing this bug? MacOS Catalina v 10.15.7, AI 25.4.1 Thank you.

  6. The GPU preview renderer glitches out on distortion meshes when the canvas is rotated.

    See title, really. It might just be on distortion meshes inside of clipping masks; that's where I found it and I didn't bother checking for any further details.

  7. Weird neon pink image of straight horizontal lines while creating new symbol

    As I was making a new symbol, I had another tab open of a house I was creating and in the midst of making such my laptop went blank showing some weird neon pink image of straight horizontal lines, and then it went blank and then after that my laptop restarted. It was only after I reported the bug to apple I realized looking back at my other tab on illustrator that the original image I was using for practice on illustrator got really messed up and can't use now.

  8. UI labels smear and the canvas is not fully updated

    Hello everyone!
    When I have to move an edge of a shape with the direct selection tool, on the right side of the screen this happens. Plus that it doesn't show the X and Y pixels where the edge belongs. I don't know if it's because of my laptop (Ryzen 7 4700U with AMD Radeon Graphics) Please let me know because it's kinda annoying, thank you so much!

    I searched for it, it's a smart guide's bug, in case I can help you :)

  10. 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…

  11. 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.

  13. 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。

    お手数をおかけしますが、ご確認くださいますよう、よろしくお願いしたします。

  15. 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…

  19. 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.

  20. 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:
