  2. The white-filled circle arrowhead has some very strange geometry.

    The white-filled circle arrowhead in Support Files/Resources/en_us/Arrowheads.ai has two doubled points in the black circle. This results in unexpected imagery when a path is given this arrowhead, expanded, and has further effects applied.

    Screenshots: outline view, and outline view with half of each point pair selected and moved down 1pt.

    This was discovered in 25.3.1 but I bet it's been lurking there long enough that it predates your current source control tree. :)

  3. Path+stroke profile weirdness

    Plz examine the file. Two paths with different width profiles when reflected. Bottom one behaviour is good, top path behaves badly. Why would this be ?

  4. Arrowheads

    Latest update breaks 30 years of arrowhead usage and procedure.
    I don't want to scroll thru 40 different heads.
    It's not necessary to break what was working for decades.

  5. Stroke stays black even when changing colour

    Stroke stays black even when colour is changed. Only way to make it another colour is to expand appearance, which means losing original unless saved off the artboard

  6. Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of line on certain items.. Both options are greyed out.

    Since latest update, Align Stroke isn't allowing me to place stroke on outside or inside of the line on certain items. I'm noticing this on both text and vector objects with "holes".

  7. Strokes with a profile and have the rounded corners selected end up having pointy corners

    The corners of my strokes should have a rounded corner but the moment I adjust the profile with the width tool they turn all pointy

  8. Cursed Path includes non deletable artifacts — part of shape when outlined.

    I have drawn custom shapes using the pen tool. Visible artifacts are growing out of anchors. When I switch to outline mode, these artifacts are not visible, yet when I expand the strokes, the artifacts become part of the resulting shape. I cannot resolve this by deleting the anchors that cause the issue, if I do that and then reconnect the remaining points, the artifact simply reappears. I'm attaching an Illustrator file with the cursed paths so that others can see if they experience the same issue or if they can resolve it.

    I am running Illustrator cc 29.4 on…

    Hi All,


    Thanks for reporting the issue!

    We’ve reviewed the issue, but unfortunately, we're unable to reproduce the issue on our end.

    To help us investigate further, could you please share:

    • The .ai file where you’re seeing the issue
    • Or a short screen recording capturing the issue from the start

    Also, let us know:

    • Is the issue 100% reproducible on your side, or does it happen intermittently?

    Your input will help us get to the root of the problem faster.


    Looking forward to your response!

  9. Inconsistent stroke value

    It didn't seem to be a problem before, but when I have two closed shapes that read and are supposed to have the same stroke value, but they appear to be completely different values.

  11. Changing the size of a graphic will not remain stable and does not maintain it's location point.

    I have a graphic that uses the top-left as the alignment reference point. It is on an artboard that is positioned in whole numbers (no decimals).

    I want it to be at X: 20px and Y: 20px
    I want it to be W: 700px or Y: 700px (either one not both)
    I do not want the position of X or Y to change from 20px.
    I want to maintain whole numbers

    What happens instead:
    When I resize the graphic it will not maintain a whole number and it changes the position/location of my reference point. I have snap to pixel…

  12. Strokes stop working properly.

    Ever since version 28.7.1, after a bit of time, today was less than 2 hours, strokes can no longer can be edited.

    Changing "Align Strokes" changes nothing, stroke size changes nothing. Changing caps changes nothing. This happens to both new and old strokes on both new and old paths/shapes.

    Currently restarting the app seems to work around & reset it, but only for a few hours, then it starts happening again.

    P.S. This is on a Mac

  13. Default line stroke color needs to be black and no fill for line segment tool, it keeps reverting back to no fill/no stroke color

    This has been going on for a very long time so I'm sure many others have seen this by now. I do A LOT of work using the line segment tool. Nearly 50% of the time I am using it, the stroke color or fill selections change on the tool. It needs to be set on default with no fill, black stroke color, with either .5 or 1 pixel (should be selectable in settings). Please for the love of anything... fix this silly problem.

  14. Crash when changing stroke options such as arrowheads or profile.

    Using Mac OS Sonoma, M1 MacBook Pro. Have tried restarting both Illustrator and my computer and the issue persists. Happens consistently every time I try the above options.

  15. Colocar novamente as opções da janela de traçado

    Não é possível que uma versão nova tenha um retrocesso e fique limitada em algo tão básico como modificar os traçados, falei com o suporte e me confirmaram que realmente não tem mais, não posso modificar o traçado básico para ter pontas ou ser intermitente ou ficar interno, centrado ou externo à forma... que retrocesso é esse?

  19. Dashed lines not working

    I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 and using AI Version 27.5.

    I am trying to add dashed lines to a line segment which has the colour R165 G25 B130, they are also on the same sub-layer. I select the setting to add it but it does not visually appear dashed.

    However, it does work on another similar line of a different colour.

    I also cannot change the colour of the first line as well.

    The video attached shows the issue.

    How can I fix this issue?

  20. Stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to

    The stroke width is scaled along with the element it is applied to (transform="scale(sx sy)") if the scale values (sx, sy) are different. Stroke width is not scaled if the scale values are the same. Ideally stroke should not be scaled.
    Workaround for the browser is to use vector-effect='non-scaling-stroke' attr, but it is still not being supported by AI.

    This need some clarification.

    I don’t think I can understand the problem.

    Illustrator is capable of scaling strokes with object, it the corresponding option is checked. When it’s enabled, it does not differ between uniform and non-uniform transformations. So, is it a feature request and not a bug report, or am I missing the point of it?
