  1. SVG Export

    In der Version 28.4.1 entstehen beim "Speichern unter.." als SVG Datei zerstörte Vektoren. In der Version 27.9.3 ist das nicht der Fall. Habe die SVG Datei als AI abgespeichert, weil SVG als Dateiendung nicht unterstützt wird.

  2. Unwanted Artwork when placing a CC Library asset and when exporting as SVG

    I remember voting and commenting on a UV report mentioning this with CC libraries, but cannot find it anymore.
    Lately there have been 2 forum posts mentioning unexpected artwork added to an SVG export.
    I suspect that the New Document Profile that they use contains the artwork, at least I can replicate that behaviour, but I have not seen that confirmed by the posters.
    Add artwork to a new document profile and it will appear on assets export to SVG and when alt dragged from a CC Library.

  3. Stroke arrowheads mislabeled

    When changing the arrowheads on a stroke, the dropdown option images don't match the actual icon for the stroke arrowhead. It seems the the same arrowhead icon is previewing in the dropdown for multiple different selections. What you select is not what you get.

  4. Filled area text boxes do not export to SVG (v. 28.4.1)

    In the current 28.4.1 version, our files do not export to SVG correctly. You can easily reproduce this by creating any area text box and apply a fill to the box. The text will export, but not the filled box. We use this for all our our org charts and other graphics where we want the text to be easily centered in the boxes as the boxes get resized and moved.

  5. Incorrect object size when exported to SVG - Illustrator v 28.4.1

    The latest Illustrator v28.4.1 generates slightly different SVG code compared to its precursors.
    Attached is the code generated by 28.3 and 28.4.1 of the same design.
    Then the latest version of the SVG file is loaded to my laser software (Glowforge) the design ends up being much smaller than it is supposed to be, for comparison a 12 cm square will only end up being 9 cm square. The issue disappeared once Illustrator was reversed to version 28.3 and files were re-opened and re-saved.

  6. Home Screen shows incorrect data at start of month

    At the beginning of a month, the Home Screen reports inaccurate "last modified" dates on recently opened documents. For example, on 1st March, a document last opened on 28th February is reported as having been opened "1 month ago" instead of "1 day ago".

  8. 長方形を方向キーで変形すると途中から半端な寸法数値になる

    MacOS12.7.3, Adobe Illustrator28.3
    ドキュメント設定の単位、 環境設定の単位→一般・東アジア言語をミリメートル、環境設定の一般→キー入力を0.1 mmに設定。
    長方形を描画し、shift+方向キーの入力(1入力1mmの移動)で幅や高さを拡大または縮小していくと、4〜8回目くらいから中途半端な数値になります。方向キーのみでも何回めかに中途半端な数値になります。
    ずっと整数で変形したいのに困っています。

  10. Thin space and hair space have wrong widths, compared to InDesign

    In Indesign a hair space is a twenty fourth of an em-dash independent of the font size.
    In Illustrator a hair space depends on the font size.
    6pt font -> hair space is a sixth of em-dash
    10pt font -> hair space is a tenth of em-dash
    20pt font -> hair space is a twentieth of em-dash
    40pt font -> hair space is a fortieth of em-dash
    in other words: a hair space in Illustrator is always 1pt

    In Indesign a thin space is an eighth of an em-dash.
    In Illustrator a thin space is a fifth of an em-dash.

  11. Dimensions new layer Do Not Print

    Using the Dimensions tool on a layer designated as Do Not Print creates a new layer title Dimensions.
    Example, I do all my dimensions, set the layer to Do Not Print. Later I realize I need to make an additional dimension. If I try to use the Dimension tool on the layer marked Do Not Print, it will create a new layer for new Dimensions.

  12. Info Palette incorrect on items using Clipping Mask

    Objects with Clipping Masks show original width and height in Info Palette. Ex. a 10x10 square clipped to 2x2 will show as W: 10, H: 10 in Info.
    In Properties/Transform the information is correct, i.e. W: 2, H: 2

    I typically don't like to see the whole Properties Panel nor need the editing abilities of Transform so I have the Info panel open. However, I would assume it would show the selected width and height vs. the clipped item's original size.

  13. Modifying paragraph / character style doesn't trigger the unsaved changes flag

    Illustrator doesn't prompt to save changes to paragraph styles if no other changes are made to a document.

    To reproduce:
    1. Create a document, add a paragraph style, save and close.
    2. Reopen document, modify the paragraph style, close document.

    Expected:
    At the end of step 2, when closing the document, Illustrator should ask if I want to save my changes, but it does not. After modifying the paragraph style, I can also see that the asterisk (*) does not appear next to the filename on the current tab, which normally indicates unsaved changes.

  14. Reduce History Panel Minimum Width

    Please reduce the history panel minimum width.
    Currently it's wider than (almost?) all of the history step names.

    Ideally this panel width could reduce to just show the icons of each history step.

    Common actions like Move and Clear would benefit from icons better representing the changes made.

    All the different type adjustments would also benefit from displaying their corresponding icons from their respective panels (font size, letter spacing, line height, paragraph alignment etc.)

    Thanks for delivering the History Panel!

  15. Center of rotation changes position after rotating with a dialog

    Trying to rotate a path from a custom rotation location by entering the rotation as a value, not manually.

    I'd expect that you can rotate from any given position by entering rotational values. As it is, your selected rotation position will instead default to center.

    When you select a custom position to rotate a shape from, it only works if you manually rotate the object. You can't select a custom position and then type in a rotational value via enter or double-clicking on the rotate tool.

  17. The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in

    The interface UI font fails to follow the Windows system settings. A lot of serif fonts are used in Chinese, making it very difficult to distinguish.

    The red part does not follow the operating system font, and the blue part correctly follows the operating system font. In Chinese Windows, the default font of the operating system is "Microsoft Yahei"

  20. Zig Zag applied to an art brush is glitchy.

    A simple art brush made of several parallel rectangles has unexpected results when the Zig Zag effect is applied with smooth curves instead of sharp angles. Changing the number of stripes and/or the number of zigs alters the errors. Some of them are kind of pretty but I think I'd rather just see this working as expected.

    I reproduced this on an M2 Mac running Illustrator 27.8.1, in both CPU and GPU rendering modes. I'm not sure what the person who originally observed this and got me investigating was using.

    Uservoice isn't letting me upload an AI or a zip,…
