1. Workspaces don't load when CC updates

   Every time CC updates AI, my custom workspaces don't work. Either:
   a) the toolbar on the right side of the screen doesn't load at all, and going to the Window menu and clicking on the palettes I want shows them checked but they don't show up, or
   b) the right toolbar shows up collapsed, but clicking on the palette's icon does not open it up. I have to expand the entire toolbar to use the palettes.
   This is really annoying, especially since it happens every single time AI updates. Sometimes quitting and reloading AI fixes the problem; other times I have to restart my whole computer. I'm on the clock for clients and I don't have time for this nonsense on the regular. Please fix this issue that's been plaguing me and other users for literal years.

2. Inaccurate graph size

   Have seen this in versions of Adobe Illustrator since cs4 to cc 2021
   Currently running on Mac OS 11 Big Sur.

   When you click with the graph tool the graph generated does not match the dimensions entered. I have had results that vary from 1 to 2 points smaller but not always the same though always 1, 1.5 or 2 points. If it is one of the circular graphs it is even worse with the graph being 12.5% smaller plus -1.5 points. I have clients who request exact graph sizes and it takes 2 or three attempts to get it right without having to manually scale and distort the graph to fit. First graph is not always, though sometimes, the same as second graph in the same document with same settings. After second graph they all seem to be the same amount smaller than specified. A file with two graphs created at 200 x 150pt is attached to illustrate what I mean. Created first graph, drew the grey rectangle snapping to the points of the graph area then created second graph with IDENTICAL settings and again drew the grey rectangle behind that one. difference is 1 point smaller on the first and 2 points smaller on the second. Usually further graphs are then consistently 2 points smaller but always have to check to be sure.

3. Strokes in intermediate blend steps don’t inherit Gradient Along / Across Stroke property

   When blending 2 gradient (along / across stroke) paths, the newly generated paths do not keep the gradients 'along / across stroke' but switch to gradients 'within stroke' - can you fix it so the new blend retains the gradients along stroke?

4. Locking everything exept one vector

   Hi, a week ago I updated from Ai 2015 to Ai 2021 and had this issue a couple of times, while isolating a vector I get stuck in it, everything else becomes grayish and I can't get back in to all the layers, I can interact with them however there's gray over all of them, hope the image explains it better. If I save the file and close it and open it, it's still the same problem, i guess its some feature, but i don't know how to deactivate it and haven't found any help online. Thanks!

5. Will not change stroke color

   I am trying to trace an object on illustrator but it will not let me change the color of the stroke, it will not even bring up the color swatches in the normal stroke panel for me to click on. I have tried resetting essentials classic, resetting preferences, and changing the view.

   Resolved (Comments Open)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   There is nothing wrong with the file, as I can tell...

   The Swatches panel is empty indeed, the only swatch in it is the sport RGB white. Perhaps somebody deleted them to save some file size?

   If you want to have default swatches though, you can load them back.

   Open Swatches panel, click the 'bookshelf' 'Swatch Libraries menu' button, locate 'Default Swatches' and choose 'Web'. Now you can select a swatch you need directly from the opened panel, or drag-n-drop a selection of swatches you need into the main Swatches panel.

   Please comment back.

6. Illustrator no deja guardar los archivos a la primera

   Al guardar un archivo en otro formato, la opción queda bloqueada. Tengo que cerrar la ventana y volver a guardar y ahí se activa la opción de guardar en otro formato.

9. Variable font support for SVG Export

   Adobe Illustrator now supports variable font files where all the font style variants are incorporating into a single OpenType file.

   When exporting a text element in an illustrator file if using a font collection (such as Helvetica) where there are individual font files for different font weights, (thin, regular, medium, bold, ....) the text element is exported as:

   <text class="cls-12" transform="translate(121.64811 386.60663)"><tspan class="cls-13">A</tspan><tspan x="75.51965" y="0">p</tspan><tspan class="cls-14" x="146.07617" y="0">p</tspan><tspan class="cls-15" x="213.65833" y="0">. 18 t/m 21</tspan></text>

   which means the text can be modified in the SVG.

   If you export a text element that uses a variable font such as Bahnschrift, the text when exported is exported as an outline (path) rather than text when anything other than regular is exported:

   <path class="cls-2" d="M154.68914,352.44657l19.79932-33.84668H191.987l-29.124,49.771L140.46014,406.638H122.9616Zm-.18164,18.16456-1.69531-2.84571-29.124-49.16553H141.1867l19.73877,33.36231,2.30078,3.93555L193.319,406.638H175.82049Z"/>

   Ideally, the text element should be exported as text and the corresponding CSS is generated with the proper text weight and/or styles. This would ensure that emitted text is editable and be very cool.

   Adobe Illustrator now supports variable font files where all the font style variants are incorporating into a single OpenType file.

   When exporting a text element in an illustrator file if using a font collection (such as Helvetica) where there are individual font files for different font weights, (thin, regular, medium, bold, ....) the text element is exported as:

10. View using GPU is not working on illustrator beta 25.3 for Apple Silicon

    View using GPU is not working on illustrator beta 25.3 for Apple Silicon.
    so Its really slow, im hard to work.

    (Korean)
    Apple Silicon용 일러스트레이터 25.3 베타 실행시 GPU 가속 옵션을 켤 수가 없어서 많이 느립니다.
    일러스트레이터도 어서 빨리 Apple Silicon용으로 제대로 써볼 수 있게되면 좋겠네요.

11. Can't input negative values in fields

    When trying to input a negative value (in leading, kerning, tracking, any transform, etc) or perform subtraction in an input field, the number either switches to a positive value or doesn't make a change and plays the system error sound. This is in the latest version of Illustrator on OS X 10.14.6

12. smart guides not working in clipping mask

    I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.

    I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

13. option key keps getting stuck randomly

    MacOS Catalina
    switching between tools via shortcuts,
    the option Key shouldn't be aktive when it's not pressed.
    The key sometimes act like its pressed when it's not.
    The option key keeps getting stuck. A hardware problem could already be ruled out, that the problem also exists on another keyboard. The problem also occurs in Photoshop. I work with a Wacom Cintiq Pro (latest driver).

14. Weird Facets in Gradient Fill

    Issue, rather than "Idea". Using a simple, gradient fill, in Illustrator CC 25.2.1, I'm getting these weird facets, rather than just a smooth transition. Anyone else have the same issue?

20. Background Save works but it thinks it's not working! v25.2.1

    I'm having an issue described in an older bug report (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39029392-background-save-works-but-it-thinks-it-s-not-worki): open files stay marked as having unsaved changes when they are saved.

    This is reportedly fixed in v25 but I'm on 25.2.1 and have this exact same problem. Not with every file and not every time, but it happens.
