  1. toggle show / view all layers on all artboards not working ai 2020

    show all layers all artboards not working ai 2020
    have to click the eye to view each and every layer on each artboard/layer that is hidden.

    It will HIDE ALL layers using pull down menu or keyboard shortcuts -- but IF I have manually clicked a few layers to hide them, and then want to turn ALL back on at once -- it won't SHOW all layers either way of using pull down > show all layers menu or using opt shift click or Cmd shift click or CMD click or any kind of keyboard shutcut.

  2. alert() function is slicing the last word in the output window.

    Somehow the last word of an alert message to Illustrator keeps getting sliced. Notice in my attached example how the last word of my alert string "messages." gets cut off.

  3. 24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6

    24.1.2 crashes when saving down AI or EPS to CS6.

    Oddly enough there is some difference – the .AI doesn't seem to save at all, but saving from .AI to CS6 .EPS when opened after crash seems to have saved down successfully.

  4. zoom tool malfunction

    HI there,

    On my Acer laptop, currently running windows 10, Illustrator had turned off some performance settings last week after a bug fix. when I press certain commands on my keyboard for the selections and zoom tool, the screen zooms in at the maximum and I can no longer zoom back out.

    I believe I am currently using Adobe Illustrator version 24.1.3

  5. Latest version takes a long time to open and save files often 5 minutes or more for a simple file this is not acceptable.

    latest version of illustrator is taking forever to save or open files often more than 5 minutes for a simple file, this is not a network issue as it does the same even to desktop. this is not acceptable and needs fixing very quickly

  6. Illustrator 24.1.3 Type tool and text refresh

    I've been experiencing an error and annoying Type tool bug since the last update to AI 24.1.3. It happens when I type something and later I go back to edit it (for example adding extra text, fixing a type) and the change does not appear to occur until I switch to Outline view. Alternatively, if I option-drag the text path the duplicate path shows the correct text. This is an old error (at least in appearance) that was fixed several versions ago and now it's back.

  7. Crashing and not recovering when laptop sleeps

    HP ZBook Studio G5
    Intel i7 8th Gen
    Running Windows 10 Pro
    Creative Cloud completely updated, including AI

    Any time I have an open file and leave the laptop for a few min, it seems to crash AI and will not recover any files, so I have to recreate files quite often.

  8. "Curvature Tool" anchor points randomly deleting themselves

    When working with the curvature tool, the anchor points delete themselves. This seems to be happening when I alt+click on one to make a sharp corner, then go to place the next point, the previous point (sometime the two previous) will delete themselves and end the path, as if I'd finished and gone to another tool (for instance the direct select tool) when I have not and am still trying to draw the path with the curvature tool.

    Latest Version of Ai CC(just updated yesterday), Windows 10 (also latest update)

  9. EVERYTHING Vanished

    I was simply working on a design today, then all of the sudden, a small popup flashed at the top of the screen and then went away immediately. BOOM, Every single file that has anything to do with that piece of work vanished completely off my computer. The original picture (.jpg) and my recent saves (.pdf and .ai) are nowhere on my computer.

    Why?

  14. Intro screen icons are not aligned

    1. The latest version of Illustrator
    2. On MacBook Pro 15" icons on launch/intro screen icons that belong to the sizes are not aligned. Should be aligned I guess. With a new update 2020 still the same issue.

  15. automatic page zoom after hiding Illustrator

    Mac OS 10.15.5
    Driver[0] Name: AMD Radeon Pro 580X OpenGL Engine
    OpenGL Version: 4.1 ATI-3.9.15
    Illustrator Version: 24.1.3

    I frequently hide Illustrator with cmd-H keyboard shortcut.
    I kept noticing the system chime when returning to Illustrator.
    I recently noticed the zoom entry at the lower left corner was highlighted when returning.
    I don't think this should be highlighted, waiting for me to type a zoom percentage when I come back to Illustrator. The chime is for an incorrect entry.

  16. 3D Extrude & Bevel Mapping Symbol

    When I try to map a vector artwork using the 3D Extrude & Bevel Options on the "Map Art" windows shows that the artwork is mapped correctly on the face of shape however the final result stays with the black color of the outline, this does not happen when I do a flat graphic like a JPEG or PNG.

    This issue has been happening with multiple versions of illustrator.

  20. drop down boxes appear off screen - instead of simply dropping down.

    I encounter and issue in illustrator where my drop-down menus appear either on the left of my screen or in the case of the Variable Width Profile opens at the bottom of my screen, (outside of illustrator) and won't allow me to select the profile I would prefer. It's a floating box but it won't allow me to move it. I have a similar issue in Premier as well. I don't have this issue in PS, so it appears as exlcusive to illustrator.
