Font Height Options misbehave with rounded fonts
Recently I started to notice that some of the fonts I use make wrong result when x-height or cap-height is used to set a font size.
I clearly see that the height is of, by eye and the underlying grid, but Character palette says otherwise. I outline the font, I measure glyphs and I get smaller dimensions.
Take a look at the file and the picture attached.
When fonts with straight terminals are used, everything is fine. Visual dimensions match metrics precisely.
But when a font with rounded terminals is used, like two examples at the bottom, things go weird.

Problems with scripts and BridgeTalk using Illustrator 25.3.1 on M1 Mac
I have a handful of scripts that have stopped working after switching from an Intel Mac mini to an M1 Mac mini. The scripts will run as expected if I use the Intel version of Illustrator on the M1 Mac mini, but they return this error when run using the M1 version of Illustrator on the same machine "TARGET COULD NOT BE LAUNCHED(59)". The current culprit seems to be BridgeTalk. Any help would be appreciated, thx!
13 votesThe workaround for this is to update to the latest build, 25.3.1, which doesn't contain Bridge related changes for Mac ARM — that's why this error is happening.
If you still have the issue, please comment back.

Live Paint bucket tool preview error
Adobe Illustrator CC 2021 (25.2.1 64-bit) on Windows 10 Home Edition.
After the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, out of the 3 preview swatches above the pointer, the center one is always wrong / inverted. This bug is consistent when we press the left & right arrow keys on the keyboard to select a swatch. On the other hand, the Swatches panel would reflect the correct option when the Live Paint Bucket tool is in used.
When the Live Paint Bucket tool is selected, the center swatch in the 3 preview swatches should accurately reflect the color option, just…

Ugly edges when using clipping mask or stacking objects with the exact same shape
Whenever stacked objects have the exact same shape, or when using a clipping mask, the colors from the objects below will be visible around the edge of the upper object. See screenshot.
This will probably not show when you print, but it does show when you rasterize a vector image. The screenshot is from a rasterized .ai image opened in Photoshop. So it's not just a preview bug in Illustrator.
And it's quite disturbing to see these ugly edges when work on your illustration.

Blending paths with Width profiles works wrong
Create two lines.
Apply width profiles to both of them.
Blend them.
Ai will generate steps that have uniform profiles instead of intermediate.13 votesResolved (Comments Open) ·

Hi,
Based on the information provided by Margaret in the last comment, the issue is not specific to Illustrator but related to Astute's Dynamic Sketch tool. Thus closing the issue for now.

ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping broken in 2020
ExportOptionsPNG24.artBoardClipping (set to false)
In 2019 (23.1), PNGs exported by javascript are trimmed to the visible bounds of the object as expected when false. When true, they're the size of the artboard.
In 2020 (24.3), the same script always produces PNGs the size of the artboard whatever artBoardClipping is set to.

AiRobin hogging huge amounts of RAM (between 12GB and 16 GB) and at times slows the machine down.
I have turned off "background save / export" which is apparently the purpose of AiRobin. Nonetheless, it has continued to run for the couple of months since I turned those off. Today I had InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator open momentarily; I try to avoid that, but usually it's fine for 5 or 10 minutes. This time it wasn't, and I could literally do nothing (even move the mouse for the most part) for close to 15 minutes. I was finally able to pull up Activity Monitor and I ended the process for AiRobin. Immediately things improved. But sure enough, AiRobin…

SVG Tiny 1.2 :: x/y attributes in svg element
It looks like Illustrator believes that x/y are valid attributes for the 'svg' element when exporting as Tiny 1.2. Based on reading the spec, I'm not entirely sure this is true.

Deselect All does nothing when you edit width profile of selected path
If you have a path selected and you work on editing its width markers with a proper tool and then Deselect all — path get deselected, but you still have your width markers active.
So, AI basically allows you to edit width markers on paths without selecting them. It can be treated both good and bad, but when I say 'Deselect' I usually mean 'Stop anything from being selected' in ANY meaning, including editing width profile. Pressing Escape helps, but... you just don't expect it.

A bug compounded with rotated line gradients, arrows, and appearances
There are some conditions for reproduction.
・ Line with arrow
・ Set gradation to line color
Two or more lines created by the appearanceIt is good to change the line width or move by "deformation" to check the change of the overlapped line.
Rotate the object.
Then click on the eye icon in the appearance panel to show or hide each line. The direction of the gradation of the line not touching should change one after another.I have confirmed this phenomenon in all versions from CS6 to 2020.
A similar phenomenon was obtained with the vertical axis reflect.…13 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.2.3 which is available worldwide now.

Text with missing fonts do not always highlight
Even though "Highlight Substitute Fonts" is enabled in Preferences, text is not always highlighted when a font is missing. Expected behavior is for text with missing fonts to be highlighted in pink when this feature is enabled.

Selection Tool Bounding Box transform is broken with circles and rectangles
The most often used transform option - the bounding box of the selection tool - is broken with these shapes.
If the shape has stroke, the bounding box will include the stroke.
And when I move the transform corner (no matter how tiny amount) the real vector outline jumps to bounding box around it to the stroke's visible edge - thus creating a completely unintentional transform. For example an upscale while I'm actually scaling down.
( The free transform tool works perfectly with these shapes too.)13 votes -

On applying tracking via Properties panel, Illustrator issues like Tracking of complete paragraph changes, Bounding Box gets invisible
MacOS, multiple versions, multiple hardware configs
Illustrator CC2018 & 2019This has been reported on a number of other posts, but seems to keep being reposted as new entries, rather than upvoted.
Since CC2018 the ability to adjust tracking in Illustrator has been broken. This appeared to begin with the introduction of the Properties Panel in CC2018, but the issues extend to the 'normal/traditional' Character Panel as well.
When adjusting tracking on a single letter or group of letters, the program will glitch and the adjustment value shown in the panel will not reflect the value being incremented. Moreover, deselecting…

Unembed for Black and White Bitmap
Adobe Illustrator 22.1
macOS High Sierra 10.13.3The Unembed button is grayed out for Black & White Bitmap images. The workaround is to Rasterize as Grayscale but this is leading to unexpected results. Parts of my images are disappearing, please fix the bug and add this feature.

accept both full stop and comma as decimal separator
Illustrator is very picky when it comes to entering decimal fractions in input fields. E.g. when using Dutch as keyboard language, the . is not allowed, and ignored, so we have to use the comma, which does not reside on the num keypad.
Please make Ai accepting both the . and the ' as a decimal separator.13 votes
