Can't draw inside?
Hi. I am trying to draw inside a capital letter. I have tried both converting type to outline by itself and then converting type to outline and then expanding the object, but the "draw inside" option remains grayed out.

Save for Web
Hi,
This problem has persisted for a long time. On the image I have attached you can see that there is a vertical white line to left of the red square. When exporting the white line is still there – the only way to avoid it is to have the graphics stretched beyond the artboard before exporting.
Why has this never been fixed??

Hi,
I’m Sanket Sali from India.
I use ASUS Gl553vd laptop with updated win 10. It has onboard gpu intel and addon gpu nvidia 1050. I have updated both drivers from asus website.
I’m experiencing screen brightness flicker means brightness goes high and low inside the document window of AI as well as PS.
It was same in 2018 versions of AI and PS and the problem is still there in 2019 versions. I’m not getting where the exact issue is.

'Puppet Warp Tool' delaying access to 'Free Transform Tool' due to load time
Noticed in the latest update that when 'pressing & holding' the Puppet Warp Tool to access the Free Transform Tool underneath would cause the Puppet Tool to first apply itself to chosen artwork, render its mesh, etc. before displaying my option to select the Free Transform Tool. This causes up the 5 second delay each time I switch - very annoying for the default state. I encounter this about 3 times daily.

Undo randomly groups texts
After hitting undo a few times will cause a random text to be selected and cannot be unselected. I don't know which text has been selected either. Only way to find out is to direct select each text and try to edit them. That's the only way to exit out of the selection as well. I've found this problem over and over again.

Spell Check doesn't understand what "Uncapitalized Start of Sentence" means.
While running spell check, Illustrator doesn't seem to understand that a comma is not the end of a sentence, or that the word following the comma is the start of a new sentence. See attached screen shots.

2019 update. Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
Worst update ever! Why? Why did you move and change all the tools?????? None of them make sense or are intuitive anymore.
1 voteIllustrator provides two tool panels now: Basic (chosen by default) and Advanced (with all the tools, including plugin ones). This change was made to make Illustrator less clumped form the beginning and ease the learning process. You can read more about this here: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html
You can also access all the tools from the 'drawer' menu, by clicking the button with three dots at the bottom of any toolbar.
As always, Ai doesn’t care much about our settings, and this time they forced this changes for everyone, not explaining the change directly in-app. Hope this gets improved.

CC2019 Offset Path stuck in Inches
Offset Path seems to be stuck in Inches in 23.0. I have the preferences all set to "points", yet when I try to use Offset Path, it's still displaying the offset amount in inches. This didn't happen until the upgrade to 23.0.

Right click on layers + Layer group shortcut don't work
Both me and my colleagues have that Illustrator is NON-RESPONSIVE every few days when it comes to shortcut keys and other UI related controls, like right clicking layers. Try and group a few layers when you can't use shortcuts or right click 'm.
Today I've spent the better part of the day trying to fix this, since it makes work near impossible.
I've restarted app, restarted PC, restarted app without prefs, updated app, restarted app and PC again, deleted prefs file (rename to OLD) and what not.
I expected it wouldn't last the entire day.

Can No Longer Open PDF's directly to ILLUSTRATOR
I just updated to Illustrator 2019 and I can no longer open a PDF into it from Bridge. Even if they were created in Illustrator. Some will open, but I have to close any other projects within Illustrator for them to open at all.

Blob tool won't change size
When I use the blob tool it won't change size from 1 pt. No matter if I change the size. It is very frustrating to use so I can do college homework.
This issue is on both my Acer laptop with my Huion tablet and on my Surface Pro 3. I reinstalled the app on my laptop and didn't fix the issue.

Hi,
Please press the enter key while using BLOB brush (when Blob Brush Tool is selected) and set the size to 1 pt. in the Blob Brush Tool Options dialog.
Hope this helps.
