Gradient panel causes bugs
The gradient panel really makes me nervous. On rare occasions when dropping a color onto a gradient handle to change it, Illustrator suddenly just closes without a warning. Just gone in a split second along with all my work. No auto save. Nothing. It even won't show my recently opened files when I open it back up. This issue also happened the last time Illustrator was updated but then it was fixed. Please fix it again as I'm always SUPER nervous when I have to change settings for a gradient. I have no idea on how to reproduce this, other…

Selection is not visible in Illustrator 2020
I just installed the latest version of Illustrator and it's pretty horrible to use. I cannot see the direct selection points on any object. I have tried toggling show bounding box and it doesn't make any difference. When an object is selected it is not highlighted so it's impossible to tell whether it is selected or not.

Importing: An unknown error has occurred.
Attempting to import a file that has multiple artboards, I get an error that states "An Unknown Error has Occurred" and after that I can no longer place any artwork what so ever without first quitting Illustrator.
- I am on Mac OS10.14.6 and AI 24.0
- File import, select file, checking import options, selecting which page/artboard and the place.
- It should place the art but
- instead deadlocks you from importing any files of any type after that without a hard reboot.

Unable to Merge swatches, screen freezes
In latest version of Illustrator 2020, I am running the script that brings Swatch Conflict Dialog, which is ok but it does not allow me to merge swatches. I cannot select or change radio button selection. I have attached the screenshot of the dialog.
1 voteYou can disable alerts during script execution with below method
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
This assumes the default option selected in the dialog and proceed with further script execution.

Simplify preview problem
When I choose Path > Simplify… and have the preview button checked, the simplification happens as many times as I adjust the percentage. ie it will simply to 99% and the 97% of 99%.
Whether I click OK or Cancel, all of the actions have been performed and I have to press undo until it is back to normal.

SVG export : XML code anomaly
Hi there,
(my specs don't matter for this issue)
I'm using Ai to make .svg files I'll animate live (making it react to midi and sound) using PureData and Processing.
So I have vectorized a picture of stained glasses and it gives me 3655 different path I have to export twice : once in only one .svg file for all paths [globalsvg] and once in one .svg file per path [pathssvg].I'll then use Processing to analyse height, width, viewbox and d-commands in [globalsvg] to finally recreate the entire pattern by placing [pathssvg] on another plan…

Crash while setting up Action
Illustrator crashes every-time I try to set up a new action. I am trying to create a shade effect of a "sticker" but doing the following:
- Take outline vector (which is white path)
- Duplicate
- Switch to fill
- Change color to black
- Apply Shear at 20 degrees
- Edit opacity to 20%
- CrashJust curious as to why this happening. Possibly due to my file size? 162.5 MB
1 voteHi,
Can you please verify if this issue has been resolved with the latest AI version or not? (AI 23.0.2).

Workspace window falls off the page
The newest update does not fix the issue I am having with the workspace window falling off the page when I try to drag the bottom right corner to better fit my art/desktop as needed. Does not respond to the position of my mouse, I have to over exaggerate where I want it while I click and drag my mouse.
1 voteKimberly, the image you attached to the report is not related to it, and shows a screenshot of the UV page instead.
So if you are still having this problem, please provide a proper screenshot or maybe a video even, if necessary. Either way, please comment back on this.

Illustrator doesn't open
I simply can't open Illustrator anymore. The screenshot below shows how Illustrator appears when it's open. I can only see the top bar, none of the actual interface. I'm working on MacOS Mojave Version 10c.14.1 Illustrator version 23.01
I even tried uninstalling and installing it again but nothing changed.
Thank you

For example: i tried to export the following paragraph to SVG:
"Synchronization job is designed to perform file transfer between multiple agents back and forth, or perform one-way file transfer. Files in the shares can be modified, new file added and some deleted, and these changes synced to other agents in real time."the word "file" always gets exported as "fle"

The position of the right-click menu doesn't match the 4K screen (200% scale)
Illustrator version: 22.1 (64-bit)
When right click in the document, the position where the menu appears is incorrect.
If the mouse cursor is closer to the top-left corner of the screen, the menu position is closer to the cursor.
If the mouse cursor is farther from the top-left corner of the screen, the offset between the cursor and the menu position and is greater.Please see my screen record for details: https://youtu.be/KY_9y_SuCCk

Can you please verify the same on the latest version of AI ie. 23.0 released on 15th Oct 2018?

Offset Path Bug
OS: Windows 10
Illustrator CC 2018 Build 22.1 (64-bit)
When working with Outlined Letters 9 times out of 10 it works.
However 1:10 when I do Object > Path > Offset Path - one of the Anchor Points does not move. When this happens it always seems to occur within the plug of the letter and it appears to be an Anchor point that would have been straight down from its original position.In the Attached Image I show the original Path and Offset Path as outlines and the Anchor Points are illustrated by Cyan Circles.
Thank you!

Devanagari scripts
The use of devanagari scripts in most Creative Suite is really laborious. It took me a long time before finding the way to have a correct display of simple copy/paste from Word or any other source of hindi or sanskrit texts by adjusting, in TWO différents dialog boxes the appropriate settings. I finally found the way to do it but, as I wanted to use a composition in a webpage, I exported my composition as SVG, and the result was just terrible: no word was correctly spelled and I had to retype all of them in Dreamweaver (which has a…

100% black will not output to film as 100%
Came across this same issue now using CC 2017 but was able to isolate it. Customer file in CMYK color space, black at 100% nothing in the document except a 100% black rectangle. Illustrator reports 100% black but when output to film black is approximately 80%. Copying the entire content to a new document the output is at 100%. Using the original document and changing the color panel to grey scale black is 100%. Changing back to CMYK black is also 100% black. Placing the file into another dicument also produces 100% black. The latest file was created in CS6…

Uneven stroke widths using width tool
Using width tool, stroke comes out uneven, even though system claims it is the same on both sides of the path. This only happens on one side of the stroke, not sure if it's at the beginning or end of the stroke. This only happens when width is adjusted at the very end of the stroke; adding a node just before the end of the stroke and adjusting that way functions properly.
0 votesPlease provide a test file with the path that gives these results along with full specs for OS and GPU.
