  2. Share for review don't show the correct link for the file

    1. I shared for review a number of files, each time creating a new link for each file
    2. Now when I open the files and click share it doesn't show the correct link for that file and I can't update the link.

  3. Artboard Snapping is broken when creating a new artboard

    If you're creating a new artboard, you can snap the edges of the artboard to previously created artboards.

    However, if you hold SHIFT to constrain proportions (handy if you're making social size assets for example), the snapping no longer works, even though you'll still see the snapping points.

    Furthermore, when you constrain proportions, the artboard location will be a decimal point, meaning if you Export For Screens, you'll get extra pixels added to your artboard thanks to a different unrelated illustrator bug.

    Video attached.

  4. Fan runs constantly after update to 27.4.1

    Updated to 27.4.1 yesterday. Today whenever I run Illustrator, my fan kicks in on high. Activity monitor says "Adobe Illustrator Web Content" is using 100% of my CPU.
    Using: MacBook Pro 2019, running Catalina 10.15.7
    Restarting doesn't help. Only thing that helps is to quit Illustrator or run previous version (26.5.3)

  5. [ExtendScript] Incorrect paragraph count when linefeeds are used.

    MacOS 13.3.1, Adobe Illustrator 27.4.1

    To see the issue, run this script:
    ```
    (function () {

    var doc = app.documents.add();
    
    var tf1 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf1.position = [100, 100];
    tf1.contents = 'Paragraph one\u000DParagraph two';
    
    var tf2 = doc.textFrames.add();
    tf2.position = [200, 100];
    tf2.contents = 'Paragraph one\u0003still paragraph one';
    alert('Paragraph counts\n2 paragraphs: ' + tf1.paragraphs.length + '\n1 paragraphs with forced line break:\n ' + tf2.paragraphs.length);
    

    })();
    ```

    I expect the left text frame to have 2 paragraphs and the right text frame to have 1 paragraph, but the right text frame is incorrectly shown to have 2 paragraphs.

    This discussion revolves around…

  6. EPS color bug

    Adobe illustrator keeps changing the colors of .eps images that I link. Both profiles are set to RGB so that should not be a problem.

  8. rotating and croping causing jagged banding

    Rotating and croping an image leads to an odd banding pattern appearing through the image. This does not occur when clipping using a clipping mask or when only cropped or only rotated.

  9. Certain shapes make illustrator change from GPU to CPU. Can't change back until a fresh reinstall.

    I created this glass effect on my laptop and exported it to drive to download onto my PC. It opens normally with GPU preview but it switches to CPU if I zoom into my work. After some experimenting I found out it's only because of my shapes that create the glass effect. It affects both my laptop and PC. Laptop uses 1660 Max Q, not intergrated graphics.

    It also affects other files (not consistent), that I open at the same time. Other files that are affected can't be changed back to GPU preview despite reopening the files individually. PC restart…

  10. Ink value changes to 0 while adjusting color

    When selecting multiple items with a different color mix, values changes to 0 when adjusting a single ink while it shouldn't change. In older versions this doesn't occur.

    In the screencap, the Cyan value changes to 0 so the colormix changes completely.

  13. Image Trace (Make and Expand) has changed default settings

    When following the Object>Image Trace>Make and Expand, the action used to just convert the image to a black and white cutout, but since the last update it's changed to "logo" preset like in the advanced settings. Now I have to enter the advanced settings every time to use the black and white option, rendering the menu option useless, and taking a few extra steps to get the result I want. Is there a way to change it back to the old settings? Or actually be able to choose what the default setting in the menu option is?

  14. White Lines After Using Image Crop

    I am running into an error when I go to crop an image. The original image does not contain any white lines or grid lines running through it, however when the image is cropped these evenly spaced white thin lines appear across the image. These lines will even show up after the image is exported. Any fixes or resolutions? Illustrator is up-to-date, I'm running macOS Ventura 13.0. (This does not happen with other images that are cropped in this file). To crop the image I am just simply going to Object>Crop Image

  15. Snap to point

    Why do you have to zoom right in almost to get points to snap to each other properly? Do you understand how disruptive to workflow this is? It seems to be a real issue when not zoomed right in to an image. This is very annoying!

    Regards,

    Robert Bell

  16. オブジェクトを再配色にて、RGBスライダーが短く表示される

    Mac OS 12.6 Monterey
    Illustrator27.2(27.1.*)

    再配色ウインドウを開いた時に、下部の調整部分がRGBだとバーが短く表示されます。CMYKや他の調整モードに切り替えた後RGBに戻すとバーの長さは戻りますが、何度も切り替えているとRGBのバーのみがまた短くなることがあります。
    27.2にアップデートすることで解決するかと思いましたが解決していなかったので、前のバージョンの正確な数字を覚えていないのですが27.1.*でも同様でした。

  18. Space on text disapear

    Windows 10 OS
    Adobe Illustrator (desktop) all updated (27.2)

    When i use text (type tool), for a single line or a text box, the spaces between the words disapear as i type it. I tried different fonts, different idioms on the text, tried check and uncheck hyphenization and always get the same result.
    Is that a configuration ussue that im not aware of? or is it a bug?

  19. Round cap overlap when using gradient along stroke

    Gradient along stroke and round cap overlaps. It is visible when the gradient is transparent. MEanwhile projecting cap does not have this issue.
    Please resolve this ASAP, my client is waiting and there is no workaround.

    1. Operating system: Both Windows and Mac has this issue.
    2. Illustrator version: 27.2
    3. How to replicate the bug: Make line, add stroke with transparency at the end, apply gradient along stroke, apply round cap.
    4. Expected result is that the cap should not overlap with the stroke.

  20. Keyboard shortcut for "Navigate to Next Document" stopped working on MacOS

    With the latest update to Illustrator 27.2, I've found the "Navigate to Next Document" keyboard shortcut to have stopped working. I have checked the Keyboard Shortcuts tool and verified that it remains as "Illustrator Defaults" and it is set to ⌘`. In fact none of the related shortcuts work.

    To be sure, I've tried a different keyboard with the same result and the shortcut does continue to work in other applications (as it is the default shortcut on macOS to cycle around documents.)
