  1. Toggle Visibility Not Working in Layers Panel

    Windows 11 desktop, 12 GB graphics card, 32 GB RAM, Intel processor with 3.60 GHz, 64 Bit x64-based processor
    29.7.1 (64 bit)
    I am creating a design and trying to toggle the background layers to compare. When I click on the eye icon in the Layers panel, the layers sometimes go on/off and most often do not. Essentially, toggling visibility does nothing.

    I have checked that my layers are visible in the hamburger menu. I have restarted Ai and restarted my computer.

    My document is saved to the cloud - I did get an autosave is temporarily disabled warning and…

  4. Using 'Divide' Pathfinder action produces unexpected/incorrect results.

    Seems there is a bug in Pathfinder in Illustrator 29.7.1. When I use the 'divide' setting, it produces incorrect/unexpected results. Seems to be a new issue since upgrading.

  5. Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or duplicating using Option drag Shift command. Illustrator v. 29.6.1

    Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or when duplicating using Option drag Shift command. I'm surprised that as many updates as we are required to do, that the glitches and bugs are so prevalent than they used to be before constant updating. I'm beginning to think that updating isn't really about making the product better, but to keep folks paying their subscriptions.

  6. Threaded text areas display only first lines when Adobe Every-Line composer is used, since 29.6

    Issue: two or more threaded text areas no longer render all text inside. The text does still exist (as visible in View > Outline) but it does not render on screen or when exporting / saving out. Whereas text flashes visibility for single text areas with no threading, but does eventually show.

    Actions taken: fresh text areas; freshly typed text (not copy-pasted); fresh document with fresh areas and fresh text. All do not render fully. Also ensured text is at the very top with no unseen masks or shapes obscuring. Turning off and on Outline View, bounding box, edges etc.

  8. Objects hidden in Layers panel stay visible in Preview mode, but not in Outline mode

    Visibility toggle in Illustrator via Layers panel is inconsistent. However, toggling layer visibility in Outline mode remains accurate. See video. Adobe Illustrator v29.6.1, Win11

  11. Illustrator reverts all the work done and doesn’t allow to expand

    It’s just I'm doing work — and it reverts back to the start of my process and isn’t saving the work I work on as I go.
    Also it doesn’t let me expand shapes and sizes.

  12. Move/Copy doesn’t remember last used settings

    When using Move/Rotate tool multiple times, UI 'remembers' last setting (helpful).

    When using Move/Copy tool, it not only doesn't remember previous setting, it seems to randomly create new settings (not helpful).

  13. El gráfico de un objeto 3D se mueve con el objeto

    Al colocar un gráfico en un objeto 3D, es muy complicado ajustar su posición porque siempre se coloca en el centro y se mueve junto con el objeto.

  15. Illustrator sometimes reports the font is not installed but then finds it on its own

    Boa tarde, há uns dias abri um documento que dizia que o tipo de letra estava ausente e hoje ao abrir dizia que já tinha o tipo de letra utilizado naquele texto. Sendo que não instalei a fonte nem passei nenhuma ficheiro da mesma de um pc para o outro, podem dizer-me se isto é normal ou se há algum bug no vosso programa?

  16. Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object (non-English characters).

    Wrong appearance of Drop Shadow effect with text object. It looks like effect use incorrect regional standards settings separate from the text itself causing the shadow looks like complete other characters .

    Also, if you turn off BLUR in DROP SHADOW, the shadow becomes normal. And this does not happen with all fonts.

  20. Shift+Dragging an Object doesn’t constrain it

    Dear Adobe, if I wanted to nudge an object across the screen with the arrow keys to retain it's current horizontal/vertical alignment I would be designing everything in Microsoft applications. Please, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE fix the Shift+Drag position constraint, it hasn't worked for over a year, and I'm losing my mind.
