Unmatching sizes for identical circles with Preview Bounds
When Use Preview Bounds option is enabled, Illustrator lies about the sizes of some of the identical circles on artboards.
See the GIF and the .ai document attached.Enable the option, open Transform or Properties panel and select each circle. Three at the top right will display the proper size, with the stroke weight included — 8.5 + 3.5px.
Three at the left bottom will be only 8.5 id diameter, without the stroke accounted for.5 votes -
SVG text export inconsistent failure 23.0.1
On SVG export, one text node receives ID as expected, the other is wrapped in a <g> and given the id that should be on the text node (which has no id).
I don't know how to produce this result—it's happening intermittently in a large existing file. I was only able to whittle it down to an example, but this system won't let me attach an illustrator file (lol)

SVG Export missing data-attributes in 27.1
macOS Ventura 13.1
Illustrator 27.1Export for Screens
Choose SVG format
Edit Format Settings for SVG (by clicking on gear icon)
Select SVG and set to the following:
Styling: Inline Style
Font: SVG
Images: Preserve
Object IDs: Unique
Decimal: 2
check both Minify and ResponsiveThe exported SVG should have the attribute data-name with the object's layer name. For example, a rectangle object filled with the color #f6b780 with the layer named 0006A should look like this in the SVG file.
<rect id="bddec359-1a3b-4c18-8500-9c0518f1a41d" data-name="0006A" x="1374.25" y="603.67" width="232.52" height="83.75" style="fill:#f6b780"/>

Intermittent SVG Text Export Bug
Intermittent SVG Text Export Bug
In 23.0.2 (and 23.0.3) when exporting and SVG sometimes text is exported as <text> tags with the layer name as an ID and sometimes the text is wrapped in a <g> and the <g> has an id with the layer name and the <text> element has no id.
The behavior is arbitrary, but one a text element begins exporting wrapped in a <g> it stays that way. Sometimes an element, after editing the text or font, that was exporting correctly will begin exporting wrapped (incorrectly).
This issue makes post-export parsing/processing difficult because you can't depend…

Copy/paste SVG missing closing > bracket
Illustrator 25.3.1 64 bit Windows 10 v21H1
Copy/Paste in this version is now missing ending ">" closing bracket noticeably when pasting as svg directly into text based editor such as vscode or notepad.
Example:
<svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 432 432"><rect width="432" height="432"/></svg*note the missing greater than closing bracket. This has to be added manually on every copy/paste to editor.

Trackpad zooming causing an earthquake on Illustrator CC 2018
Zooming in via the trackpad causes an unexpected earthquake-like glitch. Zooming in via keyboard shortcuts work as expected.
Also, at the end of the video, I show off the full screen bug, which has been present since CC 2017 version after updating to High Sierra. This also happens in probably all other applications (its like this too I believe in Ps and Id) Thought that would've been fixed by now! Thanks.

Error css classes in svg export
In version before 26.2, applying a graphic style to a simple object (rectangle, line, etc.) allowed the name of that graphic style to be used as a CSS class in the an exported SVG. So a graphic style of "thick-outline" would become a CSS class called ".thick-outline" when the SVG file was exported with internal CSS.
Now, a useless class called "cls-1" is applied to the illustrator object instead, making re-use of overriding of the style in the SVG difficult. This is a regression that makes the usefulness of the SVG export feature limited.
See below for a comparison of…

The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in
The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in Chinese, making it very difficult to distinguish.
The red part does not follow the operating system font, and the blue part correctly follows the operating system font. In Chinese Windows, the default font of the operating system is "Microsoft Yahei"

SVG Export Distortion
I am having 0 success with Adobe Illustrator exports that incorporate filters. Some are stock images from Adobe stock that have polygonal patters. Others are 3D text rendered objects. Others are layers built with a variety of transparency filters and opacity settings. The SVG exports are not usable and we are resorting to .png files until we solve this. I saw a similar post that was unresolved: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-bugs/suggestions/33118615-sizes-and-coordinates-get-distorted-in-svg-export
I am using export settings with Styling: Presentation; Images: Preserve; Object ID: Minimal; 2 Decimals; Minify and Responsive checked. Other modifications to these settings has not worked.

25.1 Type Library is invalid
Can not create Illustrator.Application.
The CLSID value stored in the Windows registry and ScriptingSupport.aip is different.
It seems that you need to create an Application object with a new CLSID, but the 25.0 version ID is stored in the registry.

Cannot save Illustrator file to Dropbox but can save to Desktop on Mac OS Monterey
I am running Mac OS X Monterey (12.6.5) and Illustrator 2023 on an Intel Mac (Mac Pro 2014). Unusual bug: when I try to save an .ai file to the Desktop, no problem. However, when I try to save to a Dropbox folder, I get a message that I do not have access privileges and I get the -5000 code. I can first save to the Desktop and then drag to the Dropbox folder When I try to do the same in Adobe Photoshop: no problem, so it appears to be an Illustrator-specific issue.

Surface pro (2017) pen pressure problem
Hello everyone!
I don't Know if this is a bug, a missing driver or miscalibration, but I have a problem with the surface pro (2017) and the Adobe Illustrator paintbrush tool not working well together. I have the newest model of the surface pen, but the lines I draw with the paintbrush tool are not able to taper to a sharp edge even if I start with really low pressure and lift the pen carefully at the end. It always leaves this rounded edge.
This video demonstrates my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JQRwbsGD8

「レビュー用に共有」で塗りがネガポジ反転する。
「レビュー用に共有」をしたときリンク先で表示されるドキュメントの塗りや線の色がネガポジ反転してしまいました。
色々と試してみたところ、カラー絵文字フォントが原因のようで、アウトライン化したら正しく表示されるようになりました。
アウトライン化前とアウトライン化後のファイルを共有しておきます。
(正しい塗りの色は青です)こちらはリリース版(27.4.1)、プレリリース版(27.6)どちらも再現しました(Mac OS、Ventura)。
Windows11のリリース版も同様です。
いずれもブラウザはChrome。MacはSafariでも試しました。(OL前)
