  1. Element appears in Illustrator

    MacOS Mojave - versão 10.14.6
    Illustrator 2021 - 25.2.3
    We received a customer’s file in PDF. We always work the file in Illustrator.
    In this case, when we opened the file, no error message appears that the file had been modified outside Illustrator. We proceed with the job. Problem - one element that doesn’t exist in ACROBAT, appears in Illustrator. I believe this is a bug, because usually the message is shown.
    This problem gave us a big complaint by the customer because that element is forbidden in the Portuguese market.

  2. Add Anchor Point shortcut doesn't work

    Pen tool. When I want to use the option 'add anchor point' with the shortcut "+" (the default one), it opens the bucket instead.

    I check the shortcut options and it is correct (+ for add anchor point, not bucket's).

    Release 25.2.1 64 bit / Windows 10 build 19041.508. Spanish version.

  4. Selection Highlight stops working

    After working on a file for several minutes or hours ... the selection highlight feature stops working. The active selection is not highlighted. Sometimes, if I move it around, is starts to work. Other times, it does not work even if I move it around. It gets annoying when I'm trying to work fast and I do not know what I have selected to apply a modification.

    Seems to go away when I restart AI, but it is not practical be restarting AI every-time I open a new file to work on or copy from.

    AI 25.2.1, MacBook Pro 16",…

  6. Problems when saving first time after update

    Hello everyone,

    After this new update I got a weird bug: every time I try to save a file it gets me the error "Can't save the document <document name>. This file cannot be found" (screenshot attached). After I clicking save again it works just fine. It's not a big of a deal, but is really annoying get that popup every time I open a document, do some modifications and try to save again.

  9. Illustrator Closes multiple menu items

    Dear Adobe

    I have recently come across a bug when multiple files are open in illustrator. When you close one of them it closes them all.

    Please can you kindly investigate this. It is an absolute pain when saving out multiple logo files.

    It might be my latest software update

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Best wishes

    Jay

    Look foward to heariong from you

  10. Swatch filtering

    Hello,
    In previous versions of Illustrator, entering a Pantone number would highlight the swatch. Now in Illustrator 2021, it filters out every other swatch so I can't "browse" for adjacent colors.

    I don't even know what setting to look for.

    What's up with that?

    Thank you,

    Lynda

  11. GPU support crashes reproducibly on different Macs (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.x)

    The hole GPU support with Illustrator 2021 is broken on the Mac with Big Sur since the release of CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.2.3). GPU support works with a blank document. The GPU support crashes reproducibly: switch on rulers > GPU crashes, open document with guides > GPU crashes, double click on grouped elements > GPU crashes, resize artboard > GPU crashes. Several upates went by without help. Every (!) colleague I have spoken to has struggles with the same bug since the release of Ai 2021. Both of my Macs (iMac i9 with Vega48 & M1…

  12. Type on path shifting placement

    I've updated to Illustrator 2021 (version 25.2.2), now when I open files from the 2020 version of Ai, type that was sitting on a curved path is now shifting all over the place. For example in the image attached the type should be full displayed and centres. This is happening on many files and is a major issue! This needs fixing!

  14. Shape anomalies when creating pattern brushes

    When I create a pattern brush using a series of pictures, other duplicated shapes (anomalies) would appear on top of the images when the new custom brush is applied to an object. In some cases it is duplicated, offset lines or flopped shapes that appear as additional objects...

    ungrouping all objects before making it a brush seems to resolve the problem...
