  1. SVG not rendering properly (I need it for a school project)

    I am trying to create a flag for illustration purposes for my school project, and Illustrator doesn’t seem to parse the SVG code properly.
    In a modified version of the UK flag, Saint Patrick’s saltire (the red diagonals) are supposed be thin, and when W3Schools’ Tryit Editor renders it as expected, but Illustrator doesn’t. I am attaching the screenshots, you can see the SVG code in the screenshot itself, and the buggy rendering in another.

  2. Smart guides are no longer working for text.

    Smart guides have recently stopped working for “point type” text. They still work for “area type” text boxes and all other objects. Can we please get this fixed.

  3. Keyboards shortcuts not working

    Using Apple’s Magic Keyboard with my iPad Pro 12”, and this is the only app that doesn’t respond to keyboard shortcuts, although it should.
    I tried multiple times, reopening the app, and it still doesn’t work. Illustrator is unusable on my iPad, as I cannot even merge multiple layers into a group and use the simplest shortcuts like copy/paste, or use the arrows on my keyboard to move objects quickly.

    Does someone have a solution to have the keyboard shortcuts ?

  5. Vectorize makes my image disappear, no matter the size.

    For months I have been using the vectorize feature for images. Today it has decided to malfunction and it won’t work. No matter the image size, quality, resolution - I’ve even tried updating my iPad, checking for updates, force rebooting iPad, erasing the app and reloading the app, — no matter what, the image disappears. I’m beyond frustrated. Help!!!

  6. Eyedropper not picking up all type attributes

    This has been a serious issue for many years. When I select a text box then use the eyedropper to copy attributes from another text box, it almost always sets leading at 0.1. Or it will ignore the font/leading of the text I'm copying from and set the size/leading to some other arbitrary value. I am trying to attach screen shots showing two examples of this issue.

  7. Autofill/complete text does not work on first word.

    Autocomplete does not work for the first word in a text object. On selection of a suggestion, a space is entered rather than the selected word. Deleting characters and re selection of suggested word does not help. (Apple Pencil)

    Description:
    Layer hierarchy: Main -> Sub
    Objects: 3 Objects in layer Sub (space apart).

    Select tool: Selecting just two of the objects in Sub selects all objects in the layer Sub.

    Expected behavior: Select just the selected objects.

  10. Custom vector brush strokes do not save after exiting file - reverts to round brush

    • I created a new calligraphic brush: roundness 68%, angle 16, size 28, pressure dynamics 10%.
    • I drew a bunch of lines with it
    • exited the file
    • opened it again on iPad, selected one of the lines with the selection tool and boom - it reverted to a rounded brush stroke
    • happens also if I open the file in desktop
    • screenshots attached

    I've tried this numerous times with all new files and it's consistent. Posted this on the Adobe Community and I shared my file with an Adobe Community Professional and she experienced the same thing with it.

    We have not been able to see this issue at our end. Need more information to have it resolved

    a) Is this happening on a new document or on an existing Ai document?
    b) Is this happening consistently – for each document?
    c) Please provide details about RAM and free space on iPad.
    d) If possible, if you can attach a video capturing the issue.

  13. Problem with added fonts

    Some of the fonts I uploaded to illustrator appear with an orange exclamation mark. On added fonts it says “Preview not available” and when I use the font, at first it appears on the text but when I clic anywhere else the text goes back to default and the exclamation point appears. It seems to happen randomly as I installed 5 fonts yesterday from the same studio and only one of them has this problem. I would try installing them again, but I cant uninstall them first

  14. The doble tapping option to deselect paths does not work properly.

    There are some issues with some features like double tapping or palm rejection. It feels very random, but the setup I usually work with is not working properly

  15. Color Blue doesn’t display correctly on Illustrator (iPad)

    There is a clear and obvious issue when I try to use anything that is the color blue on Illustrator on the M1 iPad Pro. Royal Blue specifically comes in with a weird purple-ish hue. This is the only primary color that is affected. It happens whether I select the color blue and try to choose a new color in that realm or if I import an image with the color blue.

    I’m attaching a screenshot where the color blue on the left is in photos and the right side is how it shows in illustrator.

    Any help would be…

  16. Selecting anything with pencil closes window almost instantly

    Any selection of tool or setting, really anything I try with Apple Pencil opens a window very briefly not allowing time to select anything. If I select by touch and hold, you have to release pressure then try to press selection before it closes. I reinstalled Illustrator but the same issue makes it totally unusable. Thank you

    There is a similar recent issue, caused by Pencil hover (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT211774) support conflict with iPad OS 17.1 and it affects only 12.9 inch (6th Generation) iPad Pro and 11-inch (4th Generation) iPad Pro.

    Sometimes this can be resolved by going to Settings > Apple Pencil and turning off Show Effects.

    However, please upvote the problem here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931885-illustrator-ipad-bugs/suggestions/47171770-when-using-apple-pencil-it-crashes-on-ipad-os-17
