Rotate and Scale Tool sometimes affects all points on a path instead of just selected points
In previous versions of Illustrator (before 2021), if you had individual anchor points selected and you used the rotate tool, it would rotate all selected points and leave unselected points stationary. This was useful for quickly editing only part of a path.
Now, in 2021, sometimes the rotate or scale tool rotates all the points, regardless if they were unselected.
Note that in my recording, the skirt's anchor points work as expected. But the sandal's points transform the whole group of objects.

Cannot Pan/Scroll with WACOM pen in Open/Save/Place file dialogue windows.
Cannot Pan/Scroll with Wacom pen in Open/Save/Place type file dialogue windows in mmany if not all of Adobe apps (where every other non-Adobe app I know of does, Apple and other 3rd parties), obviously this pertains to when you've mapped a Wacom pen button to pan/scroll to use in that manner (Wacom settings screen attached).
What should happen is being able to interact similar to touch omnidirectional swiping which includes vertical mouse-like scrolling when pressing the button and making contact with the pen, as would be expected and Wacom designed it to do.
What instead happens: Adobe apps interpret this…

Animated zoom bug (workspace flickers and turns black when in a group)
- Windows 11 (latest)
- Illustrator 28.3
- The screen flickers and turns black using Animated Zoom within a group. If I exit the group (using escape), the screen returns to normal. Animated Zoom works normally as long as I am not within a group.
The video I've uploaded shows me double-clicking a group to enter it, then using Animated Zoom to produce the flickering and black screen. I hit escape to exit the group, and the screen returns to normal. I then demonstrate that Animated Zoom works correctly when not within the group.
Thanks

Illustrator prevents Mac display from sleeping due to inactivity
When Illustrator is left open for some time, it prevents my MacBook display from turning off and locking. It also prevents the screensaver from coming on. I am 100% sure this is caused by Illustrator because I have done the following experiment twice:
- Change the screen saver to come on after 1 minute.
- Leave the Mac idle for over 1 minute.
- Screen saver does not start.
- Close Illustrator application.
- Leave the Mac idle again.
- Observe that the screen saver starts and the computer locks after 1 minute.
After restarting Illustrator, the problem goes away for a short time but…

Save as PDF doesn't export opacity correctly when placed back into illustrator. Save 5 minutes prior was fine.
I made a small change to my illustrator file and it stopped saving correctly. Objects with opacity under 100 do not show up correctly after PDF save and when placed into Illustrator. Please help. The attached images show the PDF once saved and then the PDF after being placed into Illustrator.

SVG scalingunit
Hello,
Is there an option to export a svg file in mm ?
it looks like from Illustrator the svg file is exported in "px" , so when imported in a CAD package the scale is not good.
And I can't find the good ratio to retrieve the right dimensions.1 vote -
Default web presets proof CMYK
When selecting an RGB default, which should be basically Anything for screens, the default is still set to CMYK Web coated SWOP for preview.
It seems the only way you can actually get things to look OK is to set the preview to proof colors ON, and have it set to Monitor RGB. This also seems dumb because I'm working in an RGB document. What ICC profile is Illustrator using when proof colors are off?
Coworkers keep asking why things look so different in their browser. Well, it's because they're looking at their colors in illustrator pretty darn desaturated.…

Normal "Save" operation in recording Actions becomes a "Save as" operation
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 2004, Illustrator version 25
When you create a new action and use "Save" it becomes a "Save As" where it displays a path.
My scenario: I often have to re-save a batch-exported pdf again with normal "Save" so that all text is converted to paths for a print house via custom shortcut F12.
Because during batching there is no option do convert the text.
So I need a second run with recorded actions:- select all
- convert all text to path (outlines)
- save
- close
The normal save operation is required so this can work with…

Color panel switches from secondary display to the primary display
I run 2 monitors in Windows 7, most typically with my artboard window on the left (display 'A'), and a layout of panels on the right (display 'B').
Not sure whether it started with this immediately after installing 2019, but today, any click on a Fill/Stroke proxy, either the one in the Color panel, or the one at the bottom of the Tools panel, the Color panel instantly jumps from display B to (the same position on) display A.
So here's the normal state:

Please allow fill="currentcolor" to be set for SVGs
It is still necessary to open (hundreds of) SVG icons individually with a text editor to set their fill colour to current. This is quite an impediment. I would also like to set classes or styles to be exported with the SVG.

Bounding Box Issues - Incorrectly including shadow on some objects
There are several selection bugs related to the behavior of bounding boxes (as shown in the attached jpeg). If a shadow is applied to an object such as a rectangle shape, then the bounding box correctly stays around that rectangle. But edit a point on the rectangle and suddenly the bounding box also includes the shadow. This is not desirable as then rotating the object changes its center point depending on the location of the shadow. Same thing with a line shape vs. a line created with the pen tool (the pen tool line's bounding box contains the shadow). I'm…

Start Screen and New Page Screen has a black border as if its minimised
The Start Screen and the New Page screen acts as if it is minimised inside the window (see attachment to understand) until i update the page by minimising and then maximising the application.
as there is no way to minimise the new page screen it is stuck in this state. Started happening all of a sudden tonight. I have tried to turn off gpu acceleration but that has no effect. Tried Uninstalling but also didn't fix the problem.
I have not tested any other pages like preferences to test if it happens on that too but my guess would be…

Illustrator 25.4.1 "handcuffs" scaling and rotation effects with Wacom
When using a Wacom Intuous Pro (PTH-660) with Illustrator: using the scale or rotate tool on a shape, I'm unable to commit the change to the object after I lift the pen off the tablet. Even pressing "v" or "esc" several times, or even switching programs and switching back to Illustrator, when the pen comes in range of the table surface again, it is still changing the scale or rotation of the object.
I'm on Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 7530.

Recent files not showing on home screen...only recent cloud documents
My home screen only shows previous cloud documents. I work off of a network and do not use the cloud. This is on my work computer and my home computer after the update to 27.0. I do not need to see my recent cloud documents...just the ones on my computer and network.

need to fix control handles
Handles have been broken for about 10 years now, time to fix them.
Clicking on corner tool handle, making stuff rotate, trying to stretch one direction, then it stretching diagonally.Things like that should not be going wrong in software as old as illustrator.

White pixel line around shapes
Ever since Appearance was introduced, my artwork on screen suffers from a white pixel line around shapes. Seems a rendering problem: the line is not actually existing - zooming in does not make it thicker, it's always one pixel. Tried switching GPU off and on. No difference.
The appearance of the black shape: Fill is black, Stroke is None.8 votes
