  2. artboards 1600% - 1700% zoom display error

    Dear Adobe, this an annoying feature or bug, which is always pursue me.

    When I select an artboard with double click, which contains an icon (64x64px), always give me a visual error.

    First time automatic switch to 1700% zoom, and mess up the pixels, looks like slips over the grid, arround 0.5 px.

    If I click on it one more, or zoom in and out, the pixels are jump to the right place.

    This is all time made me crazy because all of my icon need to be pixelperfect, always when I try to rename an icon, go to this…

  7. Grosses lenteurs après la mise à jour Creative Cloud

    Bonjour,

    Depuis trois jours j'ai de grandes lenteurs d'affichage et d'exécution.

    Par exemple lorsque je veux rendre un objet invisible dans ma palette de calques, il ne le fait que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    Idem pour les déplacement d'objets, je ne vois la position finale que lorsque je bouge mon plan de travail.

    La mise à jour des images entre Illustrator et Indesign ne se fait pas non plus.
    Je dois réinsérer l'image sur Indesign afin de voir la mise à jour de l''image.

    J'ignore si c'est un problème de mise à jour Creative Cloud ou bien…

  8. Opening second file will NOT display it, but show first opened document!

    Wow... while having opened one file, Illustrator 25.0.1 does not refresh the screen while opening a second document. Great Adobe!

    Navigator switches the content, but the screen activates the second tab and shows the first file. clever...

    Going to be fixed in early 2031?

  17. Lineal nach Zeichenflächenänderung von Hoch- zu Querformat nicht angepasst

    Windows 10,
    Illustrator 25.0 (64bit).

    Ich habe ein neues Dokument erstellt in A3. Danach habe ich die Zeichenfläche von Hochformat auf Querformat gestellt, indem ich doppelt auf die Zeichenfläche im Zeichenflächenwerkzeug klicke und das Symbol für Querformat anklicke, danach okay. Die Zeichenfläche wurde gedreht.
    Nun wollte ich Hilfslinien als Rahmen einfügen und habe dazu das Lineal eingeblendet. Ich erwartete, dass das Lineal anzeigt, dass links oben meiner Zeichenfläche sowohl x als auch y 0 ist. Das Lineal hat sich jedoch nicht mitgedreht und die 0 liegt außerhalb meiner Zeichenfläche, nämlich genau dort, wo es länge, wenn die Zeichenfläche im Hochformat…

  20. Alignement of neighboring objects

    Hi, when I used to move my objects on artboard, there used to be lanes and alignments automatically showing me when two objects on the artboard are in alignment with a green line. However, I can't see that feature anymore, it just happened since yesterday. very frustrating. Is this a bug, or is this due to some settings issue?
