Clipping mask from a live text is misaligned / resized / distorted When using a solid swatch filled variable font as a clipping mask (Hepta Slab in the attached example) the clipped paths are misaligned with the font (in display and in selection hovering).

Clipping compound shape doesn't have edges drawn When a compound shape (not a compound path, but a live result of any Pathfinder operation) is used as a clipping mask, Illustrator does not display edges for the resulting objects.
- View > Hide Bounding Box (for clarity, to see the issue better)
- Draw anything
- Create two intersecting rectangles
- Select these two rectangles, hold Alt and click Unite in Pathfinder panel to get a live compound shape
- Select both the compound shape and the art below
- Object > Clipping Mask > Make
The resulting object has no edges drawn and can’t be seen as selected, until you enable the bounding…

No accessibility keys for Intertwine in menus On Windows, we can hit Alt and see underscores for each command in every menu.
For some reason the team stopped caring about these for a while, and recent addition are all missing these: Intertwine, Repeat, Collect for Export, Spelling, My Settings (which is a flop and doesn’t really work)...
Some older ones too: Image Trace, Filters, Edit Colors...
We need these for every command.

Using a sublayer as a layer mask is broken Please open the file attached and watch the video.
Here is what happens, try to replicate it:- The document has a Layer 1 and it has a sublayer — Layer 2, which has one rectangle in it
- If you select the Layer 1, the Make/Release Clipping mask button enables — click it
- Notice that Ai underlines both Layer 2 AND <Rectangle>, as if they are both are clipping masks
- If you click it again, everything is OK. But instead, select the Layer 2 and click the button after
- See how Ai still shows Layer 2 underlined (bug #1)
- Select a…

Clipping Mask gets rendered wrong MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
Just recently install the macOS Monterey
Using the newest version of Illustrator 2022The clipping mask doesn't work after I zoom in or zoom out.
It shows what is inside the clipping mask with different shapes randomly every time just like the images below. I have to move around the image to get the original shape of the clipping mask.It works quite well in Illustrator 2018 actually.
But the Illustrator 2018 version seems can not be downloaded anymore.I think people should be allowed to download the older version which they found most…

Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly Image in Clipping mask as well as everything on its layer disappears constantly. The image isn't displaced but when I double click where it is it shows itself in Isolation mode. Its terribly annoying.It shows as an outline but doesn't show up at all otherwise.

smart guides not working in clipping mask I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.
I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

Artwork in Clipping mask doesn't resize Illustrator 2019 on PC Windows 10
When I resize artwork sometimes anything that's inside a clipping mask doesn't resize. The shape I created for the mask resizes, but the artwork 'inside' stays static.
If I undo and retry a few times it will eventually work. I'm using the 'black' arrow to select the object and resize with the handles. I'm not using either of the white arrows. So I don't think it's a selection issue on my end.

Rasterization with clipping mask removes half of the stroke Create a dummy rectangle with a fill and a thick stroke. Select the rectangle. Go to Object/Rasterize. Tick "Create Clipping Mask". Click OK. Notice the outern half of the stroke is gone (clipped away). I would expect unchanged visual appearance....

Clipping masks release When I reopen a document with clipping masks the masks are released. It is very frustrating remaking all photos each time I open to make edits.

A clip group containing a compound path that borders an artboard often gets stuck as selected A clip group containing a compound path that borders an artboard often gets stuck as selected. Scaling the clip group (then undoing) causes the group to become unstuck as selected.

Clipping Mask Shows Some Bugs Hi
I’m using Illustrator CC (27.1.1) and macOS Monterey 12.3
When I use a clipping mask, sometimes Illustrator shows hidden parts of images that are inside the clipping mask (that should be hidden). When I scroll through the artboards, bugs change shape. (Generally, images inside the clipping mask are effected by the transparency tool, screen, multiply...)
Looking at the attached files you can see a clipping mask with some shapes inside.1 vote -

When exporting an intertwined object to PDF the selection trace is preserved in the saved file Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1 (22A400)
Illustrator 27.0.1The reproduction scenario is as following:
1. Create two overlaying rings (I used pathfinder to make the hole in the middle).
2. Select both objects
3. Go to Object-Intertwine-Make and select the target area
4. Save in PDFEven if the Flatten transparency was selected (as suggested in https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/45826375-intertwine-bug-when-export-as-pdf-x4 ), the tiny selection trace in the intertwined area can be viewed (see the attached file)
1 voteThis issue is fixed in the Prerelease version (available in Creative Cloud Desktop Prerelease section).
Intertwine objects now get treated differently when expanded, and an extra copy get placed underneath the stack of clipped zones to eliminate seams PDF viewers display.

Measurement of a clipping path object bug on PC (Illustrator 26.0.1) I have a logo which uses a mesh gradient inside a clipping path. On my Mac the X and Y measurements relate to the object, ignoring the elements that are outside of the clipping path. When I share this with a colleague who is using the same version of Illustrator on a PC the measurements are different and relate to all the elements in the object and not just the clipping path? Any ideas?
