  1. Artboard Options - Constrain Proportions Bug (Illustrator v25.4.1)

    When I make an additional artboard using Shift + O, I click then drag the new artboard and when you hold Shift it constrains the new board to the same as the board made previously, like a rectangle. Holding Shift should make a square.

    This issue occurs regardless of the Constrain Proportions box being checked or not.

  2. Align to artboard when starting up

    When you first start illustrator up in the newest version 25.4.1 the align to artboard tool will switch to align to selection if multiple objects are selected. If you select align to selection and then align to artbaord the issue will not happen and only happens when the program is first launched. Once you have gone to selection and then back to artbaord the issue will not happen again.

  3. SVG Filter exported wrong

    I have an svg filter applied to a simple path, which is applied correctly in illustrator, but when I export as an svg one feBlend item is missing.

    My filter
    <filter id="wood">
    <feTurbulence baseFrequency=".4 0.002" numOctaves="2" result="stripes" stitchTiles="noStitch" type="fractalNoise">
    </feTurbulence>
    <feColorMatrix in="stripes" result="woodStripes" type="matrix" values=" 0 0 0 0.52 0.04 0 0 0 0.29 0.03 0 0 0 0.15 0.01 0 0 0 0 1">
    </feColorMatrix>
    <feTurbulence baseFrequency="0.5 0.5" numOctaves="2" result="smallNoise" stitchTiles="noStitch" type="fractalNoise">
    </feTurbulence>
    <feColorMatrix in="smallNoise" result="desaturatedNoise" type="saturate" values="0.2"></feColorMatrix>
    <feBlend in="woodStripes" in2="desaturatedNoise" mode="multiply" result="woodTexture"></feBlend>
    <feComposite in="woodTexture" in2="SourceGraphic" operator="in"></feComposite>
    </filter>

    Is exported as

    <filter id="wood" name="wood">
    <feTurbulence result="stripes" baseFrequency="0.4 0" numOctaves="2"…

  4. Wrong localization

    I have English version of Adobe Illustrator ver. 25.4.1
    I changed language to Russian and see that Russian localization is incorrect. These Russian words do not exist in the Russian language.
    Is that possible to update Russian localization in Adobe Illustrator?
    Just few examples below
    Full Justify Last Line Center -Полная выключка, последняя строка по центру
    Full Justify Last Line Full-Полная выключка абзаца и последней строки
    Full Justify Last Line Left-Полная выключка, последняя строка по левому краю
    Full Justify Last Line Righ-Полная выключка, последняя строка по правому краю
    Left Justify-Выключка по левому краю

  5. Zero height or width prevents using shape panel to adjust

    If you set a rectangle's height or width to zero in the Shape panel, you cannot change it back again to a non-zero value. The object remains a rectangle, so you can use the UI and a mouse to grab and expand the shape, after which the Shape panel works as expected. (I did not test what happens if you set both dimensions to zero, but this is an edge case in any event, since I discovered it only accidentally because some values in my data set are zero.)

  6. Color changed automatically

    Posts screenshots of saved files every 3 days. It is a clipboard without any additional work. The color automatically darkens slightly. An ever-increasing problem is causing major problems with our schedules. Please come up with a way to solve it.

  7. (Align to) broken more than not

    Illustrator version 25.4.1
    Mac 10.15.7

    (Align to) works SOMETIMES, and other times not so much. Doesn't matter if it's set to align to artboard, objects, or selected. Currently can only get it to work properly by shutting down & restarting every time I need to center something after successfully working ONCE. Here's what happens;

    1. Layer 1, align to center, worked.
    2. Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 inches to right.
    3. Layer 2, align to center, art moved 4 more inches to right.
    4. Layer 2, align to left, art does nothing.
    5. Layer 2, align to center, art moves another 4…

  8. Can't modify brush size neither use basic stroke

    Every time I try to use brush with any size, it makes 1pt strokes. And when I try to use basic brush, it makes other strokes like caligraphic or caracoal.

    I already closed the program and opened it again but doesnt work.

  10. Documents are marked as changed immediately after opening in 25.4.1.

    Since updating to 25.4.1, many documents are marked as having been edited immediately after opening them, instead of after actually changing anything.

    I have not yet tracked down if there is anything documents doing this have in common. The more effects they have in them, the more likely they are to have this happen.

    I've attached one of the simpler documents that's displaying this behavior.

  11. Error opening Edit menu

    Not sure when this started happening. When a graphic object is selected on the artboard (JPEG in this case), the Edit tab in the main menu bar produces an error when clicked on. Other tabs seem fine. When trying to open the Edit menu, the attached error pops up. Once the error is dismissed, the dropdown menu opens. This happens every time the process is repeated. It is not helped by restarting either Illustrator or the Mac.

  12. Fix Creative Cloud - files can't be retrieved but cloud says no sync errors

    Operating system: MacOS Big Sur Version 11.6
    Adobe Illustrator: 25.4.1

    Trying to open a cloud document but they don't seem to exist/can't be opened as I cannot access my docs in the cloud.
    I have restarted, updated etc etc and still, when I want to access my cloud docs Illustrator says "Something went wrong, please restart the app and try again"
    I've also tried accessing from the Creative Cloud app where I have gone to my library and my cloud documents, nothing loads up - it just spins seemingly forever.
    Weirdly though, in Illustrator on my iPad Pro it says…

  14. Stroke display error when stroke is 0.001mm

    Stroke does not display correctly for very fine stroke lines on curves (for example 0.001mm). If the change the stroke to 0.1mm it displays perfectly, but when 0.001mm the appears to be large vectors filled in. There are not "really" there - it is just a display issue, but very easy to reproduce.
    Since 0.001mm is a common stroke width for Laser Cutters, this is a big problem as it is difficult to work with detailed drawings when it does not display correctly. See the attached sample for a very simple example.

  18. Illustrator 2021

    The bug is ILLUSTRATOR 2021 itself.
    - tried to save as bitmap to discover that finally the "save for web "option is gone - OK, but the "Export as" can't resize the picture and doesn't perform the action because "it's too big". So? How can I save the image? I open it with Photoshop but no, Photoshop "can't detect EPS data". Photoshop. You invented EPS. And you can't read an Illustrator-created EPS.
    I work with Illustrator since 1.0. I feel like timewarped back into pre-history. Please rename the bug (=Illustrator 2021) with a proper name: Illustrator 2021 BC.
