  2. Delays and Sluggishness

    For the 30+ years I've been using Adobe Illustrator, I don't think I have every really been bothered by the app or an update until last year. Now when you open AI, make a new file, or try to drag content around on a canvas or move the page around using the hand tool, the app is very lethargic and jerky. It is as if it is validating all actions by an online verification before any action is done. This really makes using the app frustratingly slow.

  3. placing (linking) JPGs in illustrator makes files incredibly slow to work with

    Often I create layouts that require linking JPG in my doc. Whenever there are multiple JPGs in my doc, the doc becomes very slow. I do not notice the same performance issue if the linked files are TIFs. This has been an issue for multiple versions of Illustrator.

  4. BUG: Tools, workspace and panels move randomly after restart or wake

    Illustrator and photoshop windows move to random positions after every restart or wake. Sometimes they move off screen in a way that makes them difficult to recover. Please fix!

  5. "Corner" anchor points become smooth when joining active Curvature Tool line

    Create a line that contains a corner (any tool).
    Begin drawing a second line with the Curvature Tool.
    As part of your new Curvature Tool line, click either end of the first line.

    This causes a conversion of corner points to smooth points.

    I posted this issue on stack exchange (see link below) and was told this was a bug. It certainly wouldn't make sense as a feature, so that seems like a legitimate conclusion.

  6. N and M-spaces ruin tabstops

    When m or n spaces are in a text, positioning with tab stops is off.
    Tabletops only work correctly with normal spaces

  7. Mising Anchor Points not sure why

    I am running the latest version of Illustrator CC from my Windows 10 PC. It is a project that I have been working on, both my computer and on my Ipad. I don't know if it is that I recently added materials from Substance on the computer, used the 3D options, then went to make changes on the Ipad later on, but now opening the document on the computer again, I am not getting any anchor points when using the direct selection tool. I checked all my preferences, then I opened a file saved to my computer, and the anchor…

  8. Stroke visible across all assets in a layer

    Stroke lines are visible throughout the layer despite being aligned behind all objects. Have tried relentlessly to fix this issue - unsure how to proceed.

  9. New File Preset Details Fields Are Misaligned Vertically (Cut off)

    When creating a New File, the measurement presets (width, height, bleed) are too high within their respective input fields. This causes the digits in each of the fields to be cut off at the top. I've attempted to resolve the issue by scaling the window, updating Illustrator, deleting preferences, and installing/reinstalling the application. Issue unresolved.

  10. Cannot Successfully Get Into Project

    AI opens normally but when I start a new file things go awry. The home screen image remains "ghosted" over the blank project. Any side panel I open and close will then appear as if it is both open and closed at the same time. If I toggle the visability of the layer then it sort of clears the project screen to an almost normal looking project start (as in it clears the ghosted panels and home screen) but I cannot draw or do anything on the project. I am not experiencing any performance issues as far as lag or…

  11. Artboard units still not working (illustrator 26.0.2)

    Artboard units are stuck to pt, when it is supposed to be pixels set in preferences.

    It's so basic, yet buggy. Artboards units are broken for several illustrator versions now, despite the claim of Adobe to have "fixed this problem in the new updated version of Illustrator"...

  13. Creating a new swatch group from selection adds swatches that aren't used anywhere.

    At the end of a project, I like to select everything on an artboard and create a swatch group with "Convert Process to Global" checked in order to clean up my swatches and make final global tweaks to color.

    Often a handful of swatches will be added that aren't apparently used anywhere. I can verify this by selecting the swatch as a fill or stroke, then choosing Select > Same Fill (or Stroke) color. Nothing will be selected for either option. So is this a glitch, or how else can I find and delete the source of the swatch?

  15. Can't Print the Illustration. Color management settings are inconsistent.

    Sometimes Illustrator displays this message. And when we close and open the message, the print can be carried out. Please let me know how to fix this.

  16. Visual breakdown bug when zoomed in < 30000%

    In keyline and normal view, when zooming in very close, the image breaks down. This didn't happen in previous versions. The first attached image shows the image correctly, with zoom at 12750%. The second attachment shows the image 'broken down' when zoomed in further. The multitude of diagonal lines shouldn't be there (these increase when panning) and the selected line (that I'm trying to work on) should be a complete line, not an endpoint. This bug makes detailed work very difficult.

  18. Using Illustrator “Paste In Front” creates a Find window on the Desktop

    Hi;
    I have recently begun having a paste in front (⌘F) issue in AI 2020.

    For DECADES I have been able to select an item and copy (⌘C) then paste in front (⌘F) to create a copy of the selection exactly on top that I can then step/move as needed.
    I have been doing this in the Illustrator 2020 application for years.

    Now when I’m in Illustrator and I hit the paste in front (⌘F), it takes me directly to the desktop and creates a Find window. (And Does Not Paste In Front!)

    I can use “Paste In Front” in…

  19. Export for screens importing to After Effects as the same image

    When exporting for screens the artboards save out as separate files and in Photoshop and everywhere else appear as they should, however even importing to After Effects they all appear as the same file. If I re-save them in Photoshop it fixes the problem but is a hassle for something I need to do on a regular basis. This has been the case for several years and different versions of Illustrator on different computers.

  20. Marquee selects empty layers

    We are using a document template with nested layers (i.e. all layers are in correct order and properly named before drawing starts)
    Marqueeing objects unfortunately selects some empty layers besides those that lead to the artwork. The document info displays the selection correctly, and the attribute panel reports differing notes.
