Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export
I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:
- Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
- Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
- Create a new layer, Layer 2
- Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")

Shortcut for "New from template" does not always work on the home screen
Open a fresh instance of Illustrator 2024 mac, use the CMD+Shift+N shortcut to open the new from template window, close it and try again. Most often the shortcut does not work. This is also the case if the shortcut is used after closing a file and returning to the home screen.

When we use Variable Concepr Fonts if I write text that contain letters with accents, the style of the typography changes. It's quite annoying.

Retype does not work at all in Czech version of Illustrator CC 2024 (28.0)
The Retype function does not work at all on Windows 10. All attempts end with the message Selection not recognized. It doesn't matter if it's a vector, a bitmap. It doesn't recognize anything. Not even Hello in Helvetica.
On MacOS 13.4.1 the app displays possible similar fonts but you can’t select them, download them, nothing. Dead end.Nice work, Adobe!

v27.8.1 - Random files having images corrupted upon file save
Mac OS 13.5.1 / Illustrator 27.8.1 / Apple Studio M1 Max
After updating from 27.7 > 27.8.1 files saved in native .ai format (pdf compatibility) with embedded images are randomly becoming corrupted (does not happen to all documents). The files will open up in illustrator just fine, and appear normal, but the image preview and rasterizing into photoshop will show the included images with blank white space, or areas of garbled distortion. The corrupted files will also fail to process on our RIP. This has appeared on 2 different computers immediately following the update. This has been alleviated completely by…
5 votesThe released version 27.9 should have a fix for this issue. Please test it to make sure images don’t get corrupted anymore and reply back.

Illustrator suddenly switching to CPU preview, GPU preview greyed out
My little research has shown that the preview mode changes when zooming if the cmyk document contains cmyk images. In a cmyk document with rgb images or an rgb document with rgb/cmyk images, there is no gpu to cpu preview switching when zooming. To reproduce the bug, the document must include multiple images in order to impact performance during scaling. My system: i5 8400, 32 Gb, GTX1650 with latest Studio Driver installed, Asus PA329C, windows 11 Build 22621.1265, Illustrator 27.3.1 Here's what it looks like on my system.
5 votesIt is expected to have this bug fixed in the latest version, 27.4. Please test if it works fine for you and comment back.

place individual PSD layers into ILLUSTRATOR as LINKED files like Indesign
Placing individual psd layers in Illustrator is a joke compared to Indesign.
When trying to place a linked and layered psd file in Illustrator you get NO 'options' (even when 'options' is selected in the dialogue box when placing/importing.)
You have to have 'link' turned off in the dialogue box in order to see the 'options' and even then the psd layers just come in as embedded shapes WHICH AREN'T linked but embedded instead. When you then unembed/link them, NEW .psd files are then created instead of linking back to the original .psd files.
The Adobe online instructions mention that…

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.5 votes -

Rendering complicated files on MAC requires CPU rather than GPU
Something is wrong with GPU rendering.
My old iMac (27" 2016) used to have rendering issues with larger/complicated files. For example, using the HAND tool and moving around, sections would not render/refresh.
I thought, well it's an old machine the GPU must be dying.Then i got a new MacBook M1 MAX with 64GB Memory.
And I still often see rendering issues and need to switch to CPU.

Cannot copy from one layer and. paste to another....
After the latest update, copy and paste between layers is wonky. If I copy an item from one layer, it will only paste back into that layer. If I make the source layer hidden and try to paste, I get the "attempting to paste to locked/hidden layer" warning. I can select an object, then drag the small box that shows up in the layers panel to a new layer, but this is a bit awkward....
5 votesThis behavior is most probably cause by Paste Remembers Layers option, accessible in the Layers panel’s flyout menu.
When it’s enabled, Illustrator tries to paste copied objects into their original layers.
If the option it disabled, but it still does not work as you want it to, please reply back.

Illustrator does not insert images from Telegram by drag&drop
When I try to drag and drop an image from Telegram into Illustrator, it inserts the text of the temporary file path instead of the image.
Note that drag&drop from Telegram to Photoshop works correctly. The same method can be used to drag and drop images to the desktop or other applications.

Cannot grab corner handles on bounding box
