Scatter Brush doesn't align smoothly to curve
Hi, I'm using Illustrator 24.2.3 on an Imac late 2015.
Scatter Brush seems to have issues with curves. If I create a scatter brush from a single object, the line seems to follow the curve loosely in straight line segments, creating a very jagged effect. I've attached images to hopefully clarify. The thinner "smaller brush element" examples I have included are made from a small circle shape a little less than one pixel in diameter. The "jagged" issue seems to disappear, however, if the curve is large enough (see the 11-inch small-brush-circle below) OR until the stroke weight increases to…

Changing the Transparency removes brush
When I have several lines applied with a Pattern Brush and change the transparency of those lines to 50%, everything is fine. As soon as I return to 100% opacity, the Pattern Brush is completely removed and I have to reapply it.

Stroke Options for Brushes are not sticky
macOS 12.1
Illustrator 26.0.2A brush is applied to an object, then its appearance is modified through the "Options of Selected Object" dialog box found at the bottom of the Brush Panel.
If later the definition of the original brush is changed — all the modifications done through this dialog box are completely wiped out.
I would expect these settings to be sticky.For example, if I flipped a brush across or scaled it for one path and then changed the colorization method for this brush, I would still expect this particular path to be scaled/flipped in the same way.

Illustrator Brush/Blob brush Lag Issue
Windows 10 Pro
After latest Illustrator update, all brush tools are lagging - blob brush & brush. (using either mouse and tablet) Before an update everything works fine.
Restart and making more disk space didn't help.4 votes -
Blob Brush size is wrong
I select blob or paint brush, pick the size etc, go to use it and it turns to a totally different size and brush. Tried resetting it all, closing the app and reopening, and check to ensure its set to what I want, but it changes to something different everytime

Stroke weight defaults to 1pt when a new type of brush is applied.
MacOS 12.6.2
Illustrator 27.1.1To replicate the issue:
Assign a 2pt stroke to an object, then apply any brush to it — the stroke weight becomes 1pt.
Switching between brushes of the same type (Calligraphic, Scatter, Art…) seems to keep the weight intact, but switching the type of brush triggers the stroke weight to default back to 1pt.
Expected result: the assigned weight stays the same regardless of the brushes applied.2 votes -
Too many brushes saved in Print.ai (Print.ai = 300 MB) disable Trim View, despite 32 GB RAM
Trim View still worked in a new doc based on my Print.ai, until I opened the brushes tab, then it got disabled.

Blending paths with brushes and width profiles works wrong.
Create two lines.
Apply art or pattern brushes to both of them.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.Scatter, calligraphic, and bristle brushes won't let you edit the width profile. I did however test with two calligraphic brush paths with different pressure curves and that was ignored for the intermediary paths. Please test this with bristle and scatter brushes as well.
(this is essentially a reopening of https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/41634754-blending-paths-with-width-profiles-works-wrong with a feature that was missed when originally implementing it, as such I just copied and edited Egor's…

Holding alt to make the Width tool only change one side of a brushed path snaps the other side to zero.
- Draw a path. Give it a simple, thick stroke.
- Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side stays the same width.
- Draw a new path. Give it an art brush or pattern brush.
- Hold down ALT while using the Width tool to change one side's width; note that the other side suddenly snaps to zero-width.
I would swear the Width tool used to behave as in step 2 on brushed paths? It'd be nice to get this reversion fixed. Or to make the Width tool behave consistently across different kind…

Brush Pressure not working (greyed out) in 27.8.1 - Reverting to version 27.7 fixes issue
When Illustrator auto updated to 27.8.1, all my pressure brushes stopped working. Pressure is not available as a brush option.
I use an XP-Pen artist Pro 15.6 tablet on Windows 10
I went through the SOP that I do when this happens - uninstalled and reinstalled multiple versions of the XP-Pen drivers and nothing worked. I think reverted Illustrator back to 27.7 and it works again.
It would be nice if this functionality didn't break regularly when new versions are released. It makes Auto-updating an unrealistic option as I end up wasting time chasing down bugs when I really should…

"NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" APPEARANCE panel options NOT working for BRUSH
On the desktop version of Illustrator.....
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has a basic appearance as it is supposed to.
When you use the pencil tool with 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" NOT set in the APPEARANCE panel options, any subsequent/new pencil art has the same appearance as the last made pencil stroke as it is supposed to.
THESE TWO 'NEW ART HAS BASIC APPEARANCE" SETTINGS in the APPEARANCE panel options unfortunately DO NOT WORK this way when using the Brush tool.

pen tablet skipping brush strokes works fine in photoshop but not illustrator
I have Illustrator 2022 and Illustrator 2020 and it skips strokes some times with both versions. It shows a circle that represents the brush where I start the stroke and it also shows the brush symbol that is moving with the pen tip. The circle that represents the brush stays where I start the stroke until I finish the stroke and lift the pen, then the circle that represents the brush goes away, while the brush symbol is moving with my stroke but no stroke is being drawn. The brush strokes in Photoshop are fine, they do not skip strokes…
