  1. Verification

    I just paid for, and downloaded a new illustrator app three days ago and it's already not working, when I opened the app this morning it asked to verify me, so I added my email, password , it asked for phone number, verified that , no problem. Yet, once it was all done , a blank window with a loading symbol kept popping up every 4 seconds or so for hours, when I try to close the windows my entire app shuts down, I tried everything there is.. but I can't even uninstall the app. I'm really helpless here and…

  3. Free Transform Tool (E) breaks duplicate (alt)

    Windows 10 64bit.... every version.
    AI version... 22, 23, 24 ,25...

    Actual behaviour: having the Free Transform Tool (E) on the screen disables the function of the 'alt' key (duplicate) when holding and dragging artwork.

    Expected behaviour: the alt key function should duplicate artwork art as usual.

    It's one of those silent but infuriating bugs that has been around through all the versions for years now.

  4. VBScript Internal Script Execution Error in version 25.1

    Running VBScripts from File > Other Scripts is not currently functional in the latest update- however the very same scripts work fine if the scripts are opened manually (and worked as expected from 'Other Scripts' in the previous version).

    Please fix!

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

  6. ritardo

    In Illustrator quando trascino con il mouse gli oggetti, se non aspetto un secondo dopo aver lasciato la pressione del mouse, l'oggetto si sposta come per inerzia dietro il successivo movimento del mouse poco quanto basta per non accorgersene e perdere allineamenti vari....

  7. Adobe AI CC Fonts error question

    We recently encountered a "severe error" regarding FONT problem in Illustrator CC.

    There are TWO symptoms all regarding using MonoType Chinese Fonts(OpenType Embeddable Fonts) :

    1. Fonts size automatically decreased once we change the style, e.g. Regular > Bold.
    2. Fonts inside the "Cloud Assets" will automatically decrease its size randomly once we "Embedded" the assets.

    This error occurs probably after the update of AI CC 2021.25.105 (or maybe 1 or 2 versions prior not assure)

    Please investigate and revert us the solutions.

    Many thanks.

    (Attached are the screenshots of the errors)

  15. Asset export scale not working correctly (1x, 2x, 3x etc.... no longer keep files at 72 ppi)

    There is an issue with the asset export options in Adobe illustrator. When exporting with the png scale options .5x, .75x, 1x ,2x, 3x, etc... the file's ppi is also changing rather than staying at 72ppi. For Example when exporting a 100x100 square @1x, 2x, & 3x the expected behavior would be to get 3 pngs (@1x - 100x100px @72ppi), (@2x - 200x200px @72ppi), and (@3x - 300x300px @72ppi) (I'm pretty sure the asset export used to work this way); However what is happening now is you get 3 pngs (@1x - 100x100px @72ppi), (@2x - 200x200px @144ppi), and (@3x…

  17. Ai 2021 - crashing after 1 or 2 minutes on Mac OS Big Sur 11.1

    While starting to work on Ai, the system shuts down unexpectedly in 1 or 2 minutes - after opening any ai files. I had a chat with Adobe support team and they have advised me to delete the Creative Cloud app, after which the app was working fine but fonts were missing. Because I required the fonts to work on - I have reinstalled the CC app, then the issue started again. Request to please support in resolving the issue or suggestions.

  18. Freezing entire M1 MacBook Air

    I understand there is no beta for Illustrator yet. I was just hoping I could still use the program. I'm on a deadline and it looks like I will have to use someone else's computer. This is a huge problem.

  19. Cannot select objects near text object

    This is a bug and not an idea.

    I cannot seem to select object that are behind a text object, such as the black rectangle in this example. The blue line indicates the edge of the type area.

  20. Toolbar not opening up tool menues / other tools on hover or clicking of triangle

    Illustrator 25..0.1 on MacBook Pro 2016 running Big Sur 11.1

    My toolbar does not allow me to access any of the other tools / submenues to change tools. Neither clicking the little triangle, nor hovering will open up the submenues. I can cycle through the visible tool icons by clicking while holding option, but have to open up submenues through Windw/... to get to tools / change settings. A real bother in my workflow.

    I've tried reinstalling Illustrator, no avail. I also can't reset the toolbar - that option is greyed out. No difference if I use the advanced or…
