Artboards with the same number / missing number
In the artboards menu, two have the same number, and so one cannot access or export one of those two artboards (see the attached photo, with two artboards labeled "9")

When moving a vector with a radial gradient fill, the gradient shifts upon export of an SVG
Gradient appears to be centered in Illustrator, but shifts on export depending on where the vector is located on the artboard/pasteboard (outside the artboard). I have to manually update the SVG markup on all my exported icons. :(
2 votesA sample file would have helped. I applied radial gradient on a circle and exported it to SVG. The visual appearance was matched. There are some limitations in SVG 1.1 spec like absence of blending mode support that can affect.

「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.
「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。
psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される
「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存(従来)」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様
「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない
Illustrator 2023、2024で確認
再現手順:
1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す(psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ)実際の結果:
「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される期待された結果:
画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される回避方法:
「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する---- English *Use translation tool ----
Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.
As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.
Same result with "Exports for screens", "Export as", "Save for Web (Legacy)" or any menu command.
"Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.
Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024

"Hairline," faint border around PNG exports
Whenever I export anything as a PNG in Illustrator with a transparent background, the PNG result shows up with a strange faint border around it. I've tried a multitude of "solutions" and nothing has worked, leading me to believe that this is a bug.
I'm working on a macOS Catalina 10.15.4, and on the most recent version of illustrator (24.1). My processor is 1.6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, and graphics—Intel UHD Graphics 617 1536 MB.
(The image I have provided is the exported PNG image of that shape, and I've overlapped it ontop of the pre-export to…
7 votesThis is a GPU bug. If you toggle the rendering mode with View > View using CPU — no border will get rendered, the PNG actually does not have it. The problem is known though.

Missing Glyphs on PDF export in Illustrator v26.1
When exporting a document using Lora font (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lora), the colon character changes to a strange symbol.
It's the same issue that was happening in Indesign (and was fixed on February)
https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/44385984-missing-glyphs-on-pdf-export-in-indesign-v17-0Info:
Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (latest updates until yesterday)
Illustrator v26.1 (64bit)A friend in MacOs tested exact the same file (latest OS and AI) and no problem on exportation.
I think it's affecting only windows users!

Objects rotating when trying to transform or move
When manipulating shapes, the cursor will try and rotate the object. I will try and grab a handle to transform the shape and the object rotates. I have to zoom into the object in order to stop it from rotating despite the cursor showing the correct tool. For example if I want to make a simple box longer, I'll put my cursor over the middle handle on the left side of the box. My cursor will change from an arrow to the one with arrows facing away from each other. The moment I press my mouse the object will immediately…

Asset Export picks up illegal characters from Sublayers
Selected multiple items from Different layers, and dragged to asset export. Happily surprised that was possible.
My layer name .25" Extrusion was picked up automatically, and applied as the name of that asset, all the others defaulted to Asset 1 etc.
2 things, only when double clicking to edit was I told I used illegal characters. Secondly, Using "." as the prefix indicates a hidden file on mac, so I thought my file had trouble exporting on the first pass.
A bug plain and simple. Wanted to pass it along.

Export svg doesn't work if symbol stainer used on a symbol
I have noticed that an svg export adds a character in the svg code on a symbol in which the symbol stainer was used. When I break the link to the symbol, the svg exports as expected. I have been able to repeat this error.

Zoom is broken when using the new Rotate View tool
When using the new Rotate View Tool (v25.4.1) to rotate the view to e.g. 90°, Alt-scroll zooming doesn't zoom to the mouse pointer and the scroll bars are hyper sensitive.

Wrong raster exported with combination of mask, gradient and brush
I have path with a stroke applied to it.
Stroke is gradient, applied 'within'
One point of this gradient has opacity 0.
This path has mask.
Mask applied as inverted and clipping.
Inside this mask I have path with dash brush applied to it.All of this looks fine inside AI.
When I export a picture with Save for web (try other exports yourself, I don't use them) — AI doesn't see mask.See animation and artwork attached.

Black objects in clipping mask are not exported to SVG
Hi,
I created two same artboards with rectangle and text in clipping mask (the mask is important). The only difference is fill of objects – one is black and second red. Then I exported both artboards to SVG using Export for Screens feature (setup attached, but any other setup produces same result). Red version is exported correctly but the black one creates empty SVG file.
I checked SVG code of both files. If the object has any color except of black, code will include fill parameter for each object. But if object is black, code will skip the…

Artboard Export Improperly Imports in other DV Apps
When using the Artboard Export (Control Alt E), I noticed that importing those files (in my case, JPEGs) into After Effects and Premiere results in all the files being the last output image of the batch. It doesn't matter if they are imported one at a time or in a group, through Media Browsers, Drag and Drop, or an Import Dialogue box. The files visibly appear correct on the computer when previewed.
This is experienced when importing into Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere (2019 and 2020). This behavior is not present in Photoshop or even Adobe Acrobat upon import.
