  1. Objects displayed but not showing in any layers

    I have drawn a fish and the fins are on a separate layer than the body. The fins are visible in the drawing area - or artboard - but they are nowhere to be seen on the layers. I have even turned off visibility for each layer! No clue where they’re at so I copied and pasted them to a blank layer. Still nothing. Cut and pasted them to a new layer. Nothing. Still can’t find them. Attaching screenshot. I have explored all layers fully to my knowledge by clicking the little arrows to make sure they’re not hiding anywhere.…

  2. Layers panel not updating after deleting, editing, etc.

    Annoying bug that disrupts workflow Randomly after deleting, editing, grouping etc. layers on the canvas, the layers panel does not update to reflect the changes. Layers that were deleted are still in the panels. Others that you group still show up as individual layers. When the panel doesn’t update after an edit, it makes it difficult or impossible to select layers in the panel. The only way to update the layers panel is to save and exit, and reopen your work. It happens often enough it becomes annoying when drawing out larger projects on the iPad.

  3. Compound path bugs

    Have had situations where compound paths untether an object from layers, so it basically has no home. When reloading the app all of the progress is gone. I have no screenshots because everything disappeared.

    Many design-breaking bugs can be found by doing basic Illustrator stuff, I rarely have a file come out unruined if I decide to work on the iPad. It’s a shame because I enjoy how it feels on iPad, but it doesn’t work and they haven’t fixed common file-breaking bugs that have been around for years.

  4. Content disappearance

    Sometimes specific content in a layer disappears completely and won’t come back at times even if everything is restarted. The object says it’s there but not visible at all even if the visibility is turned on

  5. Locked layer on top is interrupting the selection of the layers below

    When a layer is locked, it is not possible to select the unlocked layers that are located below that. I am not talking about sub-layers, this bug goes for individual layers. As soon as a layer is lock the layers below it can not be selected by Apple Pencil but they only can be selected by tapping on the layer panel.

  7. When objects are Hidden, they behave as if they are Locked

    If a Layer contains multiple Objects, and one of those Objects is Hidden, that Hidden object will not move/transform when the Layer is moved/transformed, as if it were locked in place.

    This is quite problematic as I very often transform Layers that contain temporarily Hidden objects, only to later find that the Hidden Objects have not moved with the rest of the Layer.

    Ex: A layer contains several iterations of a particular icon design in the same position. Two iterations are Hidden, and one is Visible because I have yet to decide which I like best. Later on, I find…

  8. The layers remain after deletion

    You draw on one layer, delete the object and the layer remains in the list.

  9. Selection of multiple items bug

    This happened in a large document with 15 + artboards. If you have an item in a layer, and that layer is in another layer, the selection tool bugs and you can only select everything on that board or just one thing

  10. Unable to copy and paste select layers from one project to the other.

    I am able to copy and paste only certain layers within a certain project and paste to another file. All indications show it to be working, until i select paste. Then nothing happens.
