Illustrator performance, conflict with windows 11 desktop manager process
I was trying to rotate an image within illustrator and the performance was unusable. Trying to select then rotate was slow and unresponsive. Made no sense as my workstation has plenty of resources. 24core/512GBram/RTX 5000 ada. I did a quick google search and found a redit post suggesting exiting illustrator, find dwm.exe, end the process (explorer crashes then reloads, so does dwm.exe), restart illustrator. After performing these steps, illustrator was working like it should, responsive and useable.
Should not have to go through this process just to get illustrator to work correctly. Need to investigate with MS what is happening…

SVG import bug: SVG parser is (incorrectly) dependent on <defs> order
The SVG spec recommends but does not require <defs> appear at the top of the document (before elements that use them).
This SVG, from the MDN patterns page, imports visually to Illustrator (albeit incorrectly):
<svg viewBox="0 0 230 100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<defs>
<pattern id="star" viewBox="0,0,10,10" width="10%" height="10%">
<polygon points="0,0 2,5 0,10 5,8 10,10 8,5 10,0 5,2" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="50" fill="url(#star)" />
<circle
cx="180"
cy="50"
r="40"
fill="none"
stroke-width="20"
stroke="url(#star)" />
</svg>
If I reorder the <defs> to the bottom, which is still valid SVG, it does not import anything visual at all:

「レビュー用に共有」で塗りがネガポジ反転する。
「レビュー用に共有」をしたときリンク先で表示されるドキュメントの塗りや線の色がネガポジ反転してしまいました。
色々と試してみたところ、カラー絵文字フォントが原因のようで、アウトライン化したら正しく表示されるようになりました。
アウトライン化前とアウトライン化後のファイルを共有しておきます。
(正しい塗りの色は青です)こちらはリリース版(27.4.1)、プレリリース版(27.6)どちらも再現しました(Mac OS、Ventura)。
Windows11のリリース版も同様です。
いずれもブラウザはChrome。MacはSafariでも試しました。(OL前)

Surface pro (2017) pen pressure problem
Hello everyone!
I don't Know if this is a bug, a missing driver or miscalibration, but I have a problem with the surface pro (2017) and the Adobe Illustrator paintbrush tool not working well together. I have the newest model of the surface pen, but the lines I draw with the paintbrush tool are not able to taper to a sharp edge even if I start with really low pressure and lift the pen carefully at the end. It always leaves this rounded edge.
This video demonstrates my problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95JQRwbsGD8
I have also attached two screenshots: first being a screenshot…

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.

"Export for Screen" default folder is one specific folder and wont change
When i use "export for screens" the default export location is one specific folder on my desktop, if i move that folder or put it in the trash, the default export location will change accordingly to "follow" the location of the folder.
This happens for all files, also if i create a new file. A screenshot of this phenomenon is attachedFor reference, im on MacOS Mojave 10.14 and (the newest) Illustrator (CC 2019) 23.0.6
small disclaimer, the problem might occur because my mac-user has a slightly corrupted file system, stems from changing the username and using a different adobe…

Cannot save Illustrator file to Dropbox but can save to Desktop on Mac OS Monterey
I am running Mac OS X Monterey (12.6.5) and Illustrator 2023 on an Intel Mac (Mac Pro 2014). Unusual bug: when I try to save an .ai file to the Desktop, no problem. However, when I try to save to a Dropbox folder, I get a message that I do not have access privileges and I get the -5000 code. I can first save to the Desktop and then drag to the Dropbox folder When I try to do the same in Adobe Photoshop: no problem, so it appears to be an Illustrator-specific issue. I have tried: restarting computer, fixing…

object remaining after command z causing memory error message
I attempted to duplicate an artboard full of clipping masks and objects but afterwards, clicked command z. All quickly as unintended results. It left behind one box with transparency effect. every attempt to move this left behind object, caused the error "Can't move the objects. There isn't enough memory ID: -108"
Removing the objects seems to removed the problem.1 vote -

Bug: exporting SVG's via exportFile(fileObjSingle, ExportType.SVG, svgOptions). has completely changed since 28.4
(macOS & Windows, latest versions) Beginning with Illustrator 28.4, SVG files exported via Javascript are in a very different format.
The following examples are exported with:
doc.exportFile(fileObjSingle, ExportType.SVG, svgOptions);
The SVG option for the format of the SVG is STYLEELEMENTS.
See attached captures for the differences.
There are many many changes:
- the style definitions are handled differently
- ID's now strip out characters like / or < instead of replacing them with entities
- the original names are included via data-name tags
- the comment from the 2nd line is now gone
- clipping paths are handled differently

Eyedropper creates buggy hidden/invisible/non-existent appearances on text objects
This bug only seems to work on Windows.
Illustrator version: 25.2.1As discussed here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/buggy-hidden-invisible-non-existent-appearances/m-p/11964528/thread-id/271978#M272107
Creating a default text object, selecting it, then clicking on it with the eyedropper tool creates an invisible/pseudo-existing appearance on the text. This is evident in that going to the top menu shows that Object > Expand... is greyed out while Object > Expand Appearance is not. You can also see in the Layers panel that the text object has its selection circle filled with grey, indicating that it has an appearance. Yet checking the Appearance panel shows that there is no appearance at all…

Undo after deleting a line created with the Pen tool freezes Illustrator
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise
AI Version: 25.4.1,
Bug replicated with three different computers and instances of Illustrator, all same OS, same AI version, same freeze.I had a bunch more steps when I ran across this problem, but I was able to replicate it with much fewer steps like so:
With the pen tool, draw a couple vertices.
Delete the line you're making from the table of contents.
Click on the canvas anywhere; the line reappears with a new vertex which you just made.
Undo the vertex you just made (the first time I did it, it undid the pen…3 votes -
Palettes/Panels are broken all over!
This is not just in AI. It's in PS, and ID as well. Can't make selections in pull down menus. It keeps reverting back to the default. Can't enter values in fields and use tab to move to the next field. Awfully annoying! What I want to know is what was the QC department doing before releasing this terrible package?

Non HTTPS default link in SVG export
When Exporting SVG's from illustrator the SVG code output still links to the old http:// version of the w3.org website
Ideally the output would be as follows <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg id="Layer_1" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
As it currently exports http://www.w3.org/2000/svg

AI from PDF keeps old thumbnail/preview
I often get someone's source documentation in PDF.
Yes, we should get source. No, it seems we can't get the soruce.
So - I open the PDF in Illustrator and save the useful chunks - graphics mostly - as separate files in .ai format, pdf-compatable.
For whatever reason, those docs usually will not preview correctly in Win Explorer or when browsing from ID to place as a graphic.
It seems there's some preview/thumbnail info from the original PDF that lingers in the AI file - even though it was a multi-page file, and I'm only using a piece of it…
