New document screen doesn't close upon creating new document, locking me out of program
The following issue has popped up a couple times now: I'll be working in Illustrator (Windows 10) and want to create another new document. I'll navigate to File>New and be faced with the New Document popup. I'll select my desired parameters and hit "create," and the document will be created behind the popup -- but the popup won't close, and I can no longer click the main Illustrator window to work behind it. I've had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del every time this happens; there's no opportunity to save work. (This has only ever happened when I've had Illustrator already open, never…

Flickering when zooming with animation after update to Illustrator 2024 28.3
I was trying to fix the insane lag in the previous version, even though I had all the drivers updated(I have MSI RTX 3080 and Ryzen Threadripper 3960X with 64 GB of RAM so it's not a performance issue).
After updating the lag got worse and when I zoomed in with the GPU enhancing features which is zoom with animation. The canvas was flickering when using the zoom shortcut CTRL+SPACEBAR. I then opened a fresh document and noticed this problem wouldn't occur. So the issue is the fact I had the view grid on on my other document.

Pop-ups won't close in magnified view setting.
When I open the text tool, this dialogue box (bottom right corner) opens. I think it's supposed to be one of those helpful guides that shows up after an update, but for me, it shows up, doesn't go away, is fixed to the bottom right corner of my screen, and obstructs my view. I have absolutely no way to close it; I've tried. The [x] button, I believe, floats off the corner of the screen. I can't drag it; it's fixed. It's just stuck there and stays there, all huge and in the way.

Undo stack becomes desynchronized when making a clipping mask using a group that contains another clipping mask
I often want to clip a group that already contains another clipping mask, and sometimes I accidentally use the wrong top object when making the mask. In this case, Undo does not return the scene to its previous state. Instead, various strange things happen.
To replicate:
- Create a group (A) that contains a clipping mask (B) and at least one other object
- Create an object (C) to be clipped
- Bring A over top of C, select both and make clipping mask
- UndoThe scene should return to its original state, but instead the inner mask (B)…

Illustrator 2024 keeps crashing, no crash report, no recovery files
I've been using Illustrator on my desktop since 2019, I haven't changed anything on my setup in terms of hardware or software. Illustrator was working perfectly fine up until lately (within the last 2 months). I've worked on large files and multiple files with heavy memory loads perfectly fine. But now, I can barely have two Illustrator documents open without it crashing. A crash report doesn't pop up and it doesn't save my recovery files even though I have that function enabled. I have one document open right now, it only has two photos and a shape with a gradient,…

Eyedropper DOES NOT CONSIDER COLOR EXCLUSION for TEXTS MULTICOLOR
Eyedropper tool between two text boxes with mixed color letters. How to copy ONLY text attributes leaving the colors unchanged.
Even by deselecting fill color and stroke color in the eyedropper detection and eyedropper application boxes, the color of the destination text becomes unique depending on which is pressed as the source and the letters do not remain colored differently.

Drag and Drop from Photoshop Not Working
Illustrator Version 28.3, Photoshop Version 25.5.1
Attempting to drag and drop a layer from photoshop into illustrator and the object is not appearing in illustrator. I can usually do this with no issues. I've tried rasterizing and making the image a smart object but nothing seems to fix the bug. This has just been an issue within the past 2 days.
2 votesThe issue is believed to be fixed with Photoshop release 25.7.
Please test it and comment back if it now works.

Scrollbar breaks using stylus (windows/wacom)
While I'm using a stylus, if I use the scrollbar, illustrator acts as if I haven't released from the scroll bar and continues to wildly scroll, and all other features including closing the program are inaccessible. This continues even if I tab out of the program and doesn't stop until I force quit illustrator.
2 votesHi ,
Thanks for reporting the issue, but we are unable to reproduce the issue at our end and would need more information such as the AI build with which the issue started, Wacom device configuration, and OS details of the machine where the issue is observed.

Using reflect or object - repeat causes stroke-only layers to misalign
When attempting to mirror / repeat a stroke-based object, it reflext along the extremity of the stroke, not the shape path itself. This is insanely annoying when trying to work with strokes.
The path itself is the part that should be mirrored and the stroke applied afterwards.
It wouldn't be so bad if we could use snapping on the object > repeat > mirror but even that doesn't work and you have to eye-ball it. This makes for poor precision.

Flickering colors and images when moving mouse while in GPU mode
The screen flickers when you move the cursor (it sucks!).
When you switch to CPU it stops, but you lose the animated zoom which is a nice feature.

Gaussian Blur amount for the object dragged differs
If you apply a Gaussian Blur effect to an object and drag it, Illustrator will change the value slightly and restore it back when the transformation is complete.
It seems that Real-Time Drawing and Editing option does not apply the same amount of blur while the drag is in progress.
Especially noticeable if you hide edges temporarily with Cmd/Ctrl + H.
Increasing the blur radius makes the dragged preview blurrier, but still less than the intended value.

File name resets when I switch to saving as a cloud document
I'm working on a file locally called filename_v01.ai and decide to create a new version.
I hit Save As, and change it to "filename_v02.ai"
Before hitting save in the same folder, I decide to save to cloud instead. I select "Save Cloud Document"
The Save to Creative Cloud window opens up. All is well except it has ignored my filename change - it's called "filename_v01.aic"
This happens in both directions and would be good to fix

HEX Value can't overwrite spot colors in color palette
I set a global color (Spot or process doesn't matter) but if I try to enter any code in the HEX value field, I'm not allowed to type anything. I must first convert the color to CMYK or RGB with the appropriate button and only at this point I'm allowed to type the code in the HEX field
It would be much more practical to be able to insert the HEX code even without having to necessarily convert the color to CMYK or RGB first2 votes -
Gradients with opacity act as a clipping mask for objects behind them
When working with complex groups and gradients, often times an object with a semi-transparent gradient ends up removing the graphics from grouped items below it.
The solution I've found is to ungroup and regroup items, but I feel this shouldn't happen in the first place. It also disrupts my workflow and how I group items in the first place.
I don't know how to describe the steps to recreate it, other than "it happens sometimes." I think it happens more often if I've created Blends, even if those blends have been expanded.
The images attached show two examples of what's…

Shift + F puts screen in presentation mode.
WIth version 28.2 Shift + F puts the screen in presentation mode even though there is no hotkey setting for it, it was blank in the keyboard shortcut menu.
I added a hotkey command that i would never use to so it doesn't keep going into it when I accidentally hit those keys since ctrl + F i use a lot. and Shift + F still puts it in presentation mode. I have never had this issue before until today...
