When a group of symbols is used as a key object, only one symbol gets the bold outline
When you click an object to mark it as a key object for aligning, Ai draws a fat bold edge around it. Works fine, but not for a group of symbols. Need to be fixed.
Similar to the problem with meshes, which don’t get any key outline at all:

Pressing Numpad Enter no longer commits editing a note for an object in 27.6.1
In previous version hitting Numpad Enter in the Note filed in the Attributes panel would have commit the changes into the field (while the main Enter created a new line). In 27.6.1 it’s not longer working, hitting Numpad Enter does not do anything — even create a new line. It should work and commit changes :(
Steps:
1. Open Attributes panel
2. In the panel’s flyout menu choose Show Note
3. Create any object, keep it selected
4. Put the cursor in the Note field in Attributes panel and type anything
5. Press Numpad EnterExpected: editing should end
Current behavior: nothing changes, the editing does not stop, the cursor is still in the fieldIn previous version hitting Numpad Enter in the Note filed in the Attributes panel would have commit the changes into the field (while the main Enter created a new line). In 27.6.1 it’s not longer working, hitting Numpad Enter does not do anything — even create a new line. It should work and commit changes :(

Changing the Transparency removes brush
When I have several lines applied with a Pattern Brush and change the transparency of those lines to 50%, everything is fine. As soon as I return to 100% opacity, the Pattern Brush is completely removed and I have to reapply it.

[ExtendScript] Line feed \u000A character assigned to text contents is converted to carriage return
MacOS 13.3.1, Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1
Also reported on Windows same version of Illustrator.Steps to reproduce.
To see problem, run this script
```
(function () {var doc = app.documents.add(); var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf1.position = [100, 100]; tf1.contents = 'Break\u000Ame.'; alert('Linefeed (10)\n charCode = ' + tf1.contents.charCodeAt(5)); var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add(); tf2.position = [200, 100]; tf2.contents = 'Break\u0003me.'; alert('End-of-text (3)\n charCode = ' + tf2.contents.charCodeAt(5));})();
```
I would expect the text on the left to have a line feed (u+000A) character, but it is converted to a carriage return (u+000D).
The text on the right is a workaround, using an unexpected character (u+0003).There is a discussion here.
This silent conversion is unexpected, and never wanted by the user (the scripter).

Color guide options reset to default on Illustrator restart
- Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2486
- Illustrator 27.2
- Open Color Guide Options from Color Guide panel -> customize Steps and/or Variation value -> close and open Illustrator
- Expected: Color Guide panel remembers options Result: options reset to default values (4 steps, 100% variation) so you have to re-enter them every time you start Illustrator
- not file specific, also happens when setting options with no file open - screenshots attached

SVG Export missing data-attributes in 27.1
macOS Ventura 13.1
Illustrator 27.1Export for Screens
Choose SVG format
Edit Format Settings for SVG (by clicking on gear icon)
Select SVG and set to the following:
Styling: Inline Style
Font: SVG
Images: Preserve
Object IDs: Unique
Decimal: 2
check both Minify and ResponsiveThe exported SVG should have the attribute data-name with the object's layer name. For example, a rectangle object filled with the color #f6b780 with the layer named 0006A should look like this in the SVG file.
<rect id="bddec359-1a3b-4c18-8500-9c0518f1a41d" data-name="0006A" x="1374.25" y="603.67" width="232.52" height="83.75" style="fill:#f6b780"/>
Instead the code is rendering like this when exported from Illustrator 27.1:
<rect id="uuid-b659132c-b20b-4f7a-a072-77b8809c18f2" x="1374.25" y="603.67" width="232.52" height="83.75" style="fill:#f6b780;"/>
It's also exporting with the XML tag before the SVG tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 2250 1680">
It should not be exporting with the XML tag.

リピート機能を適用したオブジェクトに再配色が効かない
リピート機能（ミラー、ラジアル、グリッドのいずれも）を適用すると再配色で色を変更するできなくなります。
ダブルクリックなどして編集モードにすればできますが、他のオブジェクトと同時にできなければあまり意味がありません。通常の状態で再配色でカラーが管理できるようにしてください。

Hi, i just updated to Ventura. My company invoice banner has a freeform gradient that isn't showing up.
