1. [25.3.1 macOS]Photoshopで作成したpsd画像に日本語のクリッピングパスが使用されていると、Illustratorに配置してもクリッピングパスが反映されない

   再現手順

   Photoshop v21.2.9(2020)やv22.2(2021)など日本語のクリッピングパスでの不具合がないバージョンで、日本語のクリッピングパスを適用したpsd画像を作成。
   Illustrator v25.3.1(2021)で、1で作成した画像を配置するとクリッピングパスが適用されずに配置される。Photoshopでクリッピングパスを欧文にすれば、Illustrator v25.3.1でクリッピングパスが適用された状態で配置される。なおIllustrator v24.3および v25.2.3ではこの不具合は再現されませんでした。

   ※photoshopで作成した画像フォーマットが、eps,tiff.pdfの場合はこの不具合は再現されませんでした。

   みなさま、大変お待たせいたしました。

   Illustrator 2021（ver.25.3.1）で発生していた、Photoshop（v21.2.9 や v22.2 など）の日本語名のクリッピングパスでの不具合がないバージョンの PSD ファイルでも、日本語名のクリッピングパスが認識されない問題の修正が完了し、Illustrator 2021（ver.25.4.1）をリリースいたしました。

   Creative Cloud デスクトップアプリケーションから、製品版のアップデートが可能となっておりますので、お確かめください。

   もし、Illustrator 2021（ver.25.2.3）と同じ結果が得られないような場合は、コメントをお願いいたします。

   今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

   Illustrator チーム

   【追記 – 2021年8月27日】
   Photoshop 2021 が ver.22.5 にアップデートされ、日本語パス名の文字化け問題が修正されました。
   Illustrator でもクリッピングパスが正しく認識されます。

2. 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).

   Hi,

   Thanks for the information provided to the Illustrator team.

   We are able to reproduce this issue at our end and the engineering team is currently isolating this issue further to get to the root cause.

3. 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.

   1. View > Hide Bounding Box (for clarity, to see the issue better)
   2. Draw anything
   3. Create two intersecting rectangles
   4. Select these two rectangles, hold Alt and click Unite in Pathfinder panel to get a live compound shape
   5. Select both the compound shape and the art below
   6. Object > Clipping Mask > Make

   The resulting object has no edges drawn and can’t be seen as selected, until you enable the bounding box. There is no reason to not display the edges for it, except for the carelessness Adobe has about maintaining Illustrator a solid enough tool.

4. Rasterizing an object inside of a clipping group flattens the clipping group itself

   If we need to rasterize one selected object inside of the clipping group, we have to isolate the object to avoid flattening the clipping group. Isolating only the clipping group won’t help, we have to 'drill into' the object specifically!

   This doesn’t happen for simple groups — with these we don’t have to isolate anything at all, just selecting a child is enough.

   Thanks to Junior Rocha for raising this up.

5. Undo Release Clipping Mask Does Nothing

   I recently noticed that if I unclip an object, by accident or necessity, that I cannot undo the step either through the menu Undo or Command key Undo.

   I can clip and Command-Z to unclip.
   I can manually unclip and Command-Z to reclip.
   If I clip, I Command-z to unclip and then Command + Option + Z to redo my last action and it will properly clip.

   But if I just manually unclip, and then use the Undo command to reclip it like it was? It doesn't work. Nothing happens and it moves on in the history.

   I am on Mac OS X and running Illustrator 29.1.

   The team has to postpone shipping this fix into the main GA build, scheduled for this week. Side effects of the fix were discovered and the team needs more time to foolproof it. The current fix will remain in the Beta build, but not in the Prerelease build.

7. Ugly edges when using clipping mask or stacking objects with the exact same shape

   Whenever stacked objects have the exact same shape, or when using a clipping mask, the colors from the objects below will be visible around the edge of the upper object. See screenshot.

   This will probably not show when you print, but it does show when you rasterize a vector image. The screenshot is from a rasterized .ai image opened in Photoshop. So it's not just a preview bug in Illustrator.

   And it's quite disturbing to see these ugly edges when work on your illustration.

8. 「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.

   「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。

   • psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される

   • 「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存（従来）」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様

   • 「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない

   • Illustrator 2023、2024で確認

   再現手順:
   1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
   2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す（psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ）

   実際の結果:
   「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される

   期待された結果:
   画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される

   回避方法:
   「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する

   ---- English *Use translation tool ----

   Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.

   • As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.

   • "Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.

   • Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024

   How to reproduce:
   1. Create a symbol with artwork containing "Intertwine" and place an instance.
   2. Export to an image using "Export for Screen" or similar (choose a format other than psd, pdf, or webp).

   Actual results:
   Exported with missing parts created by "Intertwine".

   Expected result:
   Images are exported correctly as shown on the screen.

   Workaround:
   Extend "Intertwine" before making it a symbol.

9. Illustrator pulls clippings masks to the top of their clip groups when a document is reopened

   1. Make a simple clipping group
   2. Select clipping path only
   3. Fill it
   4. Send it to back
   5. Save and close the file
   6. Open the file back Illustrator will move the clipping mask back to the top of the group.

   Why this is important?
   1. Because if we release a clipping group that has the filled clipping path below clipped object, it stays below.
   2. Because when we use isolation mode, Illustrator will allow to select children only when the filled clipping mask is below the clipped objects.

   Take a look at the GIF attached, that shows three methods possible with colored clippings masks.

   1. Magenta one. This is what Draw Inside makes. As mentioned in the video, we can’t click the filled background to select the clipping group. We can isolate it by clicking the black circle and select the child, but not the clipping path.

   2. Cyan one. This is a magic trick I use to force Ai to do what it should. If you use compound path as a clipping path, we CAN click and move the group. However, when we isolate, the compound clipping path prevents us from selecting children.

   3. Green one. If me put the compound clipping path below children, we can select both the background and children as expected. This is how is should work, no matter if the clipping path is compound or if it’s below or not. This is the only one of three that keeps the background below children when clipping groups are released.

   Alas, there are several problems with the variant 3.

   1. It requires manually creating a compound path.

   2. It requires manually putting it below.

   3. It won’t be treated properly with Crop command in Pathfinder (you’d have to Flatten Transparency first).

   4. This exact report — Illustrator will put it back on top when we close and reopen the file.

   This problem is one of many that prevents us to embracing colored clipping masks and use workaround like separate backgrounds.

   This is why videos like this have to be made:

   Draw Inside Mode in Illustrator? Noooo! Make a Clipping Mask! — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNIwmhB-DP8

   Draw Inside vs. Make Clipping Mask – Which Is Better? — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiDWljk6S-4

   1. Make a simple clipping group
   2. Select clipping path only
   3. Fill it
   4. Send it to back
   5. Save and close the file
   6. Open the file back Illustrator will move the clipping mask back to the top of the group.

   Why this is important?
   1. Because if we release a clipping group that has the filled clipping path below clipped object, it stays below.
   2. Because when we use isolation mode, Illustrator will allow to select children only when the filled clipping mask is below the clipped objects.

10. Eyedropper picks up the wrong values when sampling a filled clipping mask

    I am using Mac OS 10.15.7 and am able to consistently reproduce this bug in both AI CC 2021 but as far back as AI CS5 running in Mac OS 10.6.8

    When a fill is applied to a clipping mask, the eye dropper will pick up incorrect CMYK/RGB values. This is especially problematic when a pure black is replaced by a 4 color process build in the printing industry.

    I would expect to eye drop the exact values applied to the object I've clicked on.

12. Clipped objects outside of the clipping mask get highlighted with Smart Guides enabled

    With Smart guides turned on, the Selection tools see individual items inside the mask (even though when then clicking it only selects the mask). This behavior is also not desirable as it makes selecting objects really tricky.

13. 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:

    1. The document has a Layer 1 and it has a sublayer — Layer 2, which has one rectangle in it
    2. If you select the Layer 1, the Make/Release Clipping mask button enables — click it
    3. Notice that Ai underlines both Layer 2 AND <Rectangle>, as if they are both are clipping masks
    4. If you click it again, everything is OK. But instead, select the Layer 2 and click the button after
    5. See how Ai still shows Layer 2 underlined (bug #1)
    6. Select a circle and see how the underline vanishes, and only <Rectangle> is now considered to be a mask
    7. You can select circles and everything stays as it was, until you move one — then suddenly the canvas gets updated and all shapes get rendered as unclipped (bug #2). Sometimes it happens partially, and it seems to be unrelated to CPU/GPU view mode
    8. Undo everything and clip again
    9. Hide the rectangle and see how all circles get visibly unclipped — that is OK
    10. Now toggle visibility of the Layer 2 instead — something changes, but circles are still clipped
    11. Hide Layer 2 and drag one of the circles — boom, they are unclipped again (bug #3)

    Sublayers are broken and this is why I avoid using them.
    Please fix.

14. Edit Contents button in Control panel ignores the scope and always prefers the layer-level clip to the selected object-level clip

    In Illustrator we can make object-lelvel clip groups, by selecting objects and using Make Clipping Mask command.

    We also can apply a clipping mask directly to a layer if we select a path for a mask only, highlighting the layer we need to clip in Layers, and using a different Make Clipping Mask command, from the panel’s flyout menu.

    But then, if we select the object level clipping group and decide to select its clipped content, using the dedicated button in Control panel, it will ignore the scope and the intention and prefer to select the clipped layer’s content — which is everything in it, rendering this button useless.

    Please watch the GIF attached.

    Why does creating a clipping mask for a layer requires highlighting it in Layers, but the same approach is not respected for using Edit Contents button?

    Be consistent and fix it, please.

16. Hidden clipping mask still contributes to exported image

    When time to export a final image comes, I hide the top-level smaller one, and leave the larger one at the bottom to clip my design.

    But when I review the exported image, I realize Illustrator removed the some elements of the design, despite me seeing them on canvas. It took a live brush and deleted some parts of it even!

    Take a look at the file attached.
    1. Open it
    2. Study the layer structure, notice a hidden clipping mask. Note the design now is clipped to the artboard’s boundaries — this is what I expect to get on export
    3. Export the document to a TIFF, with any settings
    4. Review the image, notice missing elements

    Workarounds are known to me. Again, I have my reasons to have this completely legal layer structure, to have one mask hidden, and to have the other one kept (this test document is a distilled version of a larger one I had with many more artboards).

    Please address this.

17. Draw Inside = Appearance BUG

    If you have a shape with two fills and you draw inside of said shape, one of the fills will disappear and be invisible. It will still show up in the appearance menu though.

18. Direct Selection tool selects objects in and outside of clipping masks

    There is a bug (from maybe several versions back now) in which the direct selection tool sees and selects objects (and points) inside and outside of the clipping mask. The behavior In previous versions worked correctly (the direct selection tool only selected points on the clipping mask, not any of the inside contents). In the attached screenshot, you can see both the current bug and the previous expected behavior.

    To summarize, the Direct Selection Tool should only be able to select a mask's points and not the objects inside the mask.

19. Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select its clipping mask specifically

    Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.

    1. Draw a shape.
    2. Select it and turn on Draw Inside.
    3. Draw some shapes inside it.
    4. Exit Draw Inside, then select the clipping group with the Selection tool.
    5. Draw Inside won't work any more.
    6. Switch to the Direct Selection tool and select the clipping mask — Draw Inside works.

    The other case is Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49064681

    It'd be great to see these weird, annoying edge cases fixed someday.

20. Info Palette incorrect on items using Clipping Mask

    Objects with Clipping Masks show original width and height in Info Palette. Ex. a 10x10 square clipped to 2x2 will show as W: 10, H: 10 in Info.
    In Properties/Transform the information is correct, i.e. W: 2, H: 2

    I typically don't like to see the whole Properties Panel nor need the editing abilities of Transform so I have the Info panel open. However, I would assume it would show the selected width and height vs. the clipped item's original size.
