Opacity set with an action does not match appearance of opacity set manually
When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.
However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.
Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples of manually created objects all show the same appearance properties. Adding an object with the same attributes but which was created via an action shows "mixed appearances."
This was posted in the Adobe community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/select-same-gt-appearance-works-manually-but-not-in-an-action/td-p/14898865
Here are the steps to repeat:
Make a new, blank document.
Start recording an action in the Action panel.
Record yourself making a new rectangle with the Rectangle tool.
Set the Fill to Black, and the Stroke to None.
Change the Opacity in the Transparency panel to 20%.
Stop recording.
Move that frame to the side.
Manually create a new rectangle, using the same steps as above.
Under the Select menu, choose "Same > Appearance."
You should see the previous rectangle you made included in the selection.
Your Properties and Attributes panels should contain the same information for both objects.
Now run your action you just recorded in the Actions panel.
Choose Select > Same > Appearance.
Note that nothing else gets selected.
Manually select the rectangle created by the action plus either of the ones created manually.
Note the Attributes panel now says "Mixed Attributes."You recorded yourself making an object with certain attributes. You played back that action and according to every panel it has the same attributes as the one you previously created, but you cannot use Select > Same > Appearance to select them both because the appearances are "Mixed."
The only way to work around this is to create a Graphics Style with the attributes (opacity, fill) being searched for. Then an object can be created with an action, the action can assign the Graphics Style, and then Select > Same > Appearance will find all of the objects with the same fill and opacity (even if those objects do not have the Graphics Style applied).
When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.
However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.

[ExtendScript] TextFrame cannot be selected after creating
In script, after creating a new TextFrame it cannot be selected the first time.
(function () { if (0 === app.documents.length) return alert('Please open a document and try again.'); var doc = app.activeDocument, results = ['Results:']; // experiment 1 var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf1.contents = '1. created, selected:'; tf1.selected = true; results.push(tf1.contents + ' ' + (tf1.selected ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL')); // experiment 2 var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf2.contents = '2. created, selected twice:'; tf2.selected = true; tf2.selected = true; results.push(tf2.contents + ' ' + (tf2.selected ? 'PASS' : 'FAIL')); alert(results.join('\n')); })();Expected results: both tests would pass.
Actual results: only the second test passes.See the discussion at this forum post.
Note: this only seems to happen with a TextFrame. PathItems, for example don't show this bug.

「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を適用したIllustrator形式ファイルを配置すると中身が表示されない
macOS13.6.7/Windows11
Illustrator.28.6- 新規ドキュメント上に適当に図形を描画、描画モード（乗算など）を設定する。
- ドキュメントの描画モードを分離を設定してIllustrator2020形式（PDF五感）で保存する。
- 新規ドキュメントを作成し、先のドキュメントを配置する。
- 配置されたドキュメントの内容が表示されず、空白のドキュメントを配置した状態と同様にある。
期待する結果
配置ドキュメントを正常に描画する。実際の結果
配置された「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を行ったIllustrator形式ファイルは内容を正常に表示できない。回避方法
Illustratorドキュメントに配置する場合Illustrator形式ファイルではなく別途PDFを書き出せば配置は可能ですが、データによってはPDFが意図したとおり書き出されない場合があります。
基本的にはドキュメントに対してのこれらの処理は行わずに個別に調整するのが無難です。ここでは「ドキュメントの描画モードを分離」を行ったドキュメントについて報告しましたが、「ドキュメントのグループの抜き」が適用されたIllustrator形式ファイルも同様の問題を抱えています。

Entering a range value in PDF Import Options dialog doesn’t enable the range option
Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.
However, when we enter a range value in the input field below, we expect the Range field to get activated, and get the range imported. Illustrator doesn’t do it, and we get the previewed page imported instead, ignoring the entered data.
So now this dialog is broken the other way.
What’s interesting — InDesign does not allow to enter the range value unless we pick the option... and this is a shared behavior actually, Ai indeed disables secondary controls for a disabled option — we can see it, example given, in Preferences > Clipboard Handling section, for AICB option (screenshot attached).
So in this case the team hacked the dialog, so a user can enter a value without making an additional click, I suppose.
And this hack works once, as shown in the second GIF: if we choose the Range option specifically, but then enable Previewed Page or All, the Range field gets disabled.
I like we can enter the value instantly, but don’t like it means nothing.
If you decided to make it this way, make it work in full, please.Recently Illustrator added an option to import a previewed page from PDF Import Options dialog.

1-bit PNG images can’t be placed, an !IMP error is given
When trying to place a 1-bit image on canvas, Ai either does nothing if it is drag-n-dropped, or throws an !IMP error message, like the attached image shows.

Clipped objects outside of the clipping mask get highlighted with Smart Guides enabled
With Smart guides turned on, the Selection tools see individual items inside the mask (even though when then clicking it only selects the mask). This behavior is also not desirable as it makes selecting objects really tricky.

Tracking of the first character shifts the alignment of the next tab stop
en_US
When tracking is applied to the first character of a text frame, the alignment of the next tab stop will be shifted from the correct position depending on the amount of tracking.
Only the tracking of the first character and the next tabstop are affected, not if kerning or akiRight is applied. After the target tab stop, the position will be correct.
This bug seems to have occurred in Illustrator 2020, as it is not reproduced in Illustrator CC2019(23.1.1).
Environment
- macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
- Illustrator 2020(24.3.0)〜2024(28.5.0)
Steps to reproduce
- Open the attached file trackingtabstop2019.ai in Illustrator 2020 or later
- Tries to edit the text in the text frame in it
- The engine of the text frame created in Illustrator 2019 is updated and the text is shifted
Expected result
Text position does not change; there is a right-align tab stop at 50pt, so text is aligned there.
Actual result
The text aligned to the tabstop is shifted to the tail direction.

最初の文字にかかったトラッキングが、次のタブストップの揃え位置をずらす
テキストフレームの最初の1文字にトラッキングをかけると、その次のタブストップの揃え位置がトラッキングの量に応じて正しい場所からずれます。
影響があるのは1文字目のトラッキングと次のタブストップだけで、かけるのがカーニングやアキを挿入 (右 / 下) の場合は影響しません。対象のタブストップ以降は正しい位置になります。
Illustrator CC2019(23.1.1) では再現しないため、2020でこのバグが発生したようです。
環境
- macOS 12.7.3(Apple Silicon)
- Illustrator 2020(24.3.0)〜2024(28.5.0)
再現手順
- 2020以降のIllustratorで、添付ファイルtrackingtabstop2019.aiを開く
- その中にあるテキストフレームのテキストを編集しようとする
- Illustrator 2019で作ったテキストフレームのエンジンが更新され、文字がずれる
期待する結果
文字の位置は変わりません。50ptのところに右揃えタブストップがあるので、文字はそこに揃います。
実際の結果
タブストップに揃えている文字が末尾方向にずれます。

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
I have built a complex program over many years that depends on special characters in the SVG ID's, and it is now completely broken.
Does anyone know how to get back the previous SVG export format?
Does anyone know if this is a bug that will be fixed?

Drag and Drop from Photoshop Not Working
Illustrator Version 28.3, Photoshop Version 25.5.1
Attempting to drag and drop a layer from photoshop into illustrator and the object is not appearing in illustrator. I can usually do this with no issues. I've tried rasterizing and making the image a smart object but nothing seems to fix the bug. This has just been an issue within the past 2 days.

Dimension Tool Options dialog always uses points for Offset and Extension fields, even though document units differ
Dimension Tool Options respect my chosen Type and Stroke units, but ignore General units, when I open Options dialog or Properties.
If I choose, say, millimeters for my document, I want to define offsets end extensions in millimeters as well, not points.
Does not help if I set these in Document Setup as well.
Please make these consistent!6 votes -
Dash offset defined by a negative strokeDashOffset value is not respected when a stroke is outlined
Illustrator has a strokeDashOffset property that sets the indentation of the first stroke in the dashed line.
It works when specified through the script, but there is no similar field in the interface of dashed line settings, i.e. it looks like a hidden functionality. It’s still legal and it works, but at the same time, a dashed line created with this parameter cannot be outlined correctly using standard Illustrator tools when the value is negative.
It's a cursed property: it's a pity to ignore it, and it's a shame to use it because of its unreliability.
Please fix the bug and make the Expand Stroke to respect the setting.
Also, in the GIF attached I am using the plugin, but we just need a native way to set this up via UI in Ai. Here is a request — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44269380-a-dashed-line-tool

Width tool started work weird after update 27.9
After this update, width tool on closed shapes instead of acting like they are shapes with continuous edges, it cuts the width at a point.
I use width tool a lot and this is problematic.
Oh and in some cases width point not showing.

Export for Screens does not remember color model format settings for JPG 100, JPG 80, etc.
When Illustrator is closed, it forgets the color model that was chosen for exporting JPEGs with Export for Screens.
For reference of how this setting is accessed:
File > Export > Export for Screens
Then in the Formats area, click the gear icon.
In the column, select any of the JPG formats (JPG 100, JPG 80, et cetera).
Then there is a drop-down labeled "Color Model" that allows you to choose between CMYK, RGB, and grayscale.If you select RGB then click "Save Settings" it will remember the setting while Illustrator is open. But when you close Illustrator, and open it again, the setting will be reverted to CMYK when you are working in a CMYK document.
This is rather annoying for me because I work in the exhibit design field and graphic layout are intended for print (CMYK) but often need to be visualized in 3D models which require RGB images. So exporting to RGB is essential and having to change the setting frequently adds more hassle to the process.

プロパティパネル等のテキストボックス内のテキストが切れる
macOS11.6.8・Windows10Pro 21H2
ver.27.5プロパティパネル等のテキストボックスに入力の際、テキストがボックス内に収まらず数値を確認しずらい。環境設定でUIスケールを小さくすると表示はましになるが、一部がテキストボックスのエッジにかかってしまう。UIスケールを大きくするとベースラインが大きくシフトし上部が３割程度隠れてしまう。
再現手順
1.ドキュメントを開く
2.プロパティパネルを開き、ドキュメント上のオブジェクトを選択する。
3.パネル内のテキストボックスの数値の上部または下部が切れて表示される。期待する結果
各テキストボックス内の数値が切れずに表示される。現状
テキストボックス内の数値が切れて表示される。これは、以前からの不具合でUIの設計が元々欧文フォントで行われ、ローカライズの際に日本語フォントに置き換えた際に日本語フォントに最適化されない事が原因ではないかと考えます。以下のコミュニティーページに参考になる情報があります。

Can't Delete User Defined Swatches
I can't seem to find a way to delete my user defined swatches (or brushes) from the adobe library. Even when i look in my Mac Library folder I can't find where they are stored to delete them that way. I've tried saving over them with new ones by the same name but that just duplicated them. It would be nice if there was an easier way to organize + delete swatches, but I feel like Adobe makes a lot of features unnecessarily complicated.

Full screen mode does not take up 100% of the screen when the Windows taskbar is hidden
Hello! In April update of Windows (22621.1413) developers changed automatic taskbar hiding mode, now it is hidden completely, without 1 pixel border. I think that this is a good solution, but some Adobe programs (Illustrator, InDesign) in full screen mode do not open 100% of the screen when the taskbar is hidden, leaving a gap of 1 pixel at the bottom of the screen which shows the desktop wallpaper, and if it is bright and contrasts with the interface of these programs, it looks defiant and it is not good. An application running in full screen mode should take up all 100% of the screen. Please fix this in new versions. Thank you!

スタティックシンボル化した画像にドロップシャドウが反映されない
詳細：
「オブジェクト」メニューからのラスタライズや
リンクの埋め込みなどで画像となったオブジェクトをシンボル（スタティック）登録し、
効果「ドロップシャドウ」をかけたところ、見た目に反映されず無視されました。
同じスタイライズメニュー内の「光彩」も同様の結果です。しかし、もう１つドロップシャドウを重ねると、今度は２つ重ねた結果が表示されました。
目玉マークでどちらの効果を消しても、１つだけだと無視されます。
「ドロップシャドウ」「光彩」の混在も、合わせて２つだと重ねがけの結果が現れます。
同じスタイライズメニュー内の「ぼかし」は１つでも反映され、本件に関わらない挙動でした。暫定的な回避策：
＊画像化したシンボルに対して「効果」メニュー内から擬似的な「ラスタライズ」をかける
＊シンボルの種類を「ダイナミック」に変える
＊シンボル化（リンク）を解除スタティックシンボル化した画像に限定されるアピアランス結果が現れることはもちろん
そもそも１つ目の効果が無視されること自体が問題です。
また、すでにIllustratorフォーラムで識者の皆さまにご意見を伺いましたところ
自分以外の環境下でも同様の結果が再現できております。（下記リンク参照）

Unmatching sizes for identical circles with Preview Bounds
When Use Preview Bounds option is enabled, Illustrator lies about the sizes of some of the identical circles on artboards.
See the GIF and the .ai document attached.Enable the option, open Transform or Properties panel and select each circle. Three at the top right will display the proper size, with the stroke weight included — 8.5 + 3.5px.
Three at the left bottom will be only 8.5 id diameter, without the stroke accounted for.6 votes
