  2. Screen flashes when using Shift/Scroll wheel to navigate around transparent canvas

    The transparent canvas goes into a non-transparent mode whenever one uses the scroll wheel click or holds the spacebar to navigate around the canvas instead of staying transparent. A similar but far more epileptic effect can be seen when using the scroll wheel to scroll vertically or Shift + scroll wheel to scroll horizontally: the canvas flashes from transparent to white with every pixel it is moved, making it extremely unpleasant to look at.

    Version number is v28.1.0.62, operating system is Windows 11 Home.

    AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The team tries a new algorithm to boost panning and zooming speed within Beta. It streams the contents of the document much faster, and it leads to less lagging, but the downside of the method is disabling all annotations while both zooming and panning happen: the documents grid, the transparency grid, guides...

    This is a know limitation and the team continues to explore the method further.

    At the moment there is no way to disable this behavior.

    The main Illustrator release does not have this method enabled.

  3. Fill or stroke in appearance panel causes crash in 28.3 10

    Mac OS Sonoma 14.3
    Illustrator Beta 28.3 10
    I am trying to change the color of an object. Selecting the object and clicking on the fill or stroke button in the appearance panel causes the program to immediately crash. This has happened on 2 different Macs. The program is currently unusable so back to standard Illustrator 28.1

  4. Pattern Mode Layer Highlight Bug

    In the Pattern Options panel menu flyout, the option Tile Edge Color... will change both the tile edge and also the layer highlight color, so designers can choose a color that is visible against their art (like everywhere else in Illustrator). It's become sticky and buggy; sometimes it changes, and sometimes it doesn't.

  6. Issue with Ungroup

    Things I would [Group] once would need to be [Ungrouped] for 10x before getting disassembled. This happened after the update, but downgrading my AI version did not resolve the issue.

  8. Zoom and Alt Zoom glitch occasionally when when sliding mouse to zoom in and out.

    I slide my mouse left and right to zoom in and out but occasionally when holding the right mouse button while zooming it will draw a dotted line and zoom me in extremely and then have to resort to clicking Alt + Z to zoom out which is much much slower and less efficient. To resolve I have to save my work, close the application, then restart it.

  9. PSD Layered export fails no matter dpi or GPU on or off

    Idea?? It's (yet) another bug.
    It's in the title. Have illustrator layered file that need to take into photoshop as layered file for eventual return to Illustrator and eventually AE. But layered export fails every time. Tried 450dpi, 300, 150 72 with GPU acceleration on, and with it off. No joy. Downgraded, no joy. Seriously just no joy.

  11. Exporting artboards to JPEG and opening them in Rush shows duplicate files

    There is a bug in the export process in illustrator. When I export multiple artboards to JPEG and then open them in Adobe Rush, all images look the same. In order to be able to use the images in Rush, I need to open them in Photoshop or other program, re-save them and then I am able to use them in Rush.

  15. Retype (beta) in Illustrator 28.1 stuck at 4% "downloading"

    I'm attempting to use the Retype (beta) tool in Illustrator, pop up informed me that a 400mb download is required, Adobe Desktop Service connects to server and downloads 550MB of data but the progress bar in Illustrator is stuck on 4% and claims to still be downloading.

    If this feature works and can match fonts effectively it will be a gamechanger for me. The current solution I use is whatfontis.com and the interface is terrible and full of unnecessary steps and popups. Thank you for incorporating this tool!

  16. Font in a document shared with Share for Review functions differs from a font client sees

    I just sent a proof to my client via the Share for Review link and they are seeing a different font on their end than the one I used in the Illustrator file. In other parts of the file, I have converted the same font to outlines and they can see that one just fine but the one that remains a font shows up as a different font for them. The strange thing is, they have the font installed on their computer so I have no guesses as to what's happening here.

    For some weird unknown reason Adobe decided to NOT include the 'Text to Vector Graphic (Beta)' function to Illustrator Beta. You have to install the actual current release to access it.

    It makes zero sense, but this is how it is done, We had the similar problem with Generative Recolor before, and now it’s the same thing again.
