  1. グラデーションツールでの操作がヒストリーパネル上で「取り消し」として登録される。

    macOS13.6.7
    Illustrator ver.28.6

    再現手順
    1. 任意の図形にグラデーションを適用する。
    2. グラデーションツールを選択肢1のオブジェクトのグラデーションを調整する。
    3. ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」として登録される。

    期待する結果
    グラデーションパネルでの操作と同様に「グラデーション」と登録される。

    実際の結果
    ヒストリーパネル上では「取り消し」とし登録されるため、グラデーション処理を行ったものかどうかが判別できない。

    これもヒストリーパネルが装備された当初からの不具合です。英語版では「undo」と表示されますので全ての言語版において発生している不具合だと考えられます。

  2. 文字パネルの行間のスピンボタンのクリックがヒストリーパネル上で２重に登録される

    Ja
    macOS 13.6.7
    Illustrator ver.28.6　日本語版のみで発生します。

    再現手順
    1. テキストを選択
    2. 文字パネルの「行送りを設定」のスピンボタンを１回クリックする。
    3. ヒストリーパネル上で「書式変更」が２つリストアップされる。

    期待する結果
    スピンボタンによる書式変更もヒストリーパネル上で２重に登録されない。

    実際の結果
    「行送りを設定」スピンボタンによる書式変更はヒストリーパネル上で二重にリストアップされてしまいます。⌘（ctr）+zのショートカットやメニューの「取り消し」も２回操作が必要です。

    これはヒストリーパネルが実装された当初から存在するバグです。

  3. Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping

    When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.

    Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).

  4. Auto-snapping is unreliable

    Snapping function is often unreliable, snapping to unintuitive objects (fx. an object on an offscreen artboard rather than one next to the object being moved)

    Further - snapping allignment is unreliable, often claiming to snap to allign with an edge, but when placed being off by a tiny bit, scewing layouts.

  5. SVG Save As 'SVG Code...' not same as marked up saved SVG. This now matches Export As SVG

    The content saved when you Save As... SVG is different in 28.5 to 28.3. When you click SVG Code... the text file preview matches that of the old version. Example file header:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 28.5.0, SVG Export Plug-In . SVG Version: 9.03 Build 54727) -->
    <svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
    viewBox="0 0 2255 692" style="enable-background:new 0 0 2255 692;" xml:space="preserve">
    <style type="text/css">
    .st0{fill:none;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    .st1{fill:#FFFFFF;stroke:#000000;stroke-miterlimit:10;}
    </style>

    When you actually save this with OK it changes to :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <svg id="Layer_1" data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 2255 692">

    Need More Info  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    This change is intentional. The team aims to improve the way SVG is generated (speed, size, redundancy, etc.) and merge current both code branches into one.

    Since some workflows heavily rely on the way the code structure is organized, the team tries to gather feedback on it.

    Please describe what engine changes affect you and why.

  6. Menu selection of window stuck after clicking on "Font" without selecting further option

    After selecting the menu item "window" → "Font" (without the sub-menu) the menu freezes. No further access to the program possible. After ending the program (OS - option, not program option) the window with the document disappeared (without asking for saving), the menu remained on screen (see screenshot). Only forced ending worked.

  7. Renamed asset does not change link name in the cloud link

    I dragged objects into the Library window to create a graphic asset in Illustrator and it's given a default name of "Artwork 1". I then renamed the file to "rename-test" and then dragged it into both an InDesign file and a blank illustrator file, and I noticed that the listed name says "rename-test" in the Libraries window in both apps, but the actual link name is still listed as "Artwork 1.ai". Why doesn't it show up as "rename-test.ai" in the Link window?

    Screenshot 1 from Ai:
    showing default name in Library window as "Artwork 1.ai"

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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".

  16. 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。

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
