2. Manual Dimensions don’t stick to the objects they are intended to be linked to

   Starting form Ai Beta 28.4.0.7, dimension objects are sticky (linked) to the objects we click with the Dimension tool — so that when we move or transform the objects, their linked dimensions move with them.

   For some reason this applies only to 'Aligned dimensions' (those that are made with the click-drag-release method).

   When we use click-click-click method, Illustrator creates 'Manual dimensions', which look the same way as the aligned ones, but for some peculiar reasons that makes no sense to us, are not sticky.

   This means that we can’t apply live and linked dimensions to objects that are anything more complex than a simple rectangle (which are the majority of things we need to measure) and we can’t move the artwork without dimensions self-expanding (because currently we can’t move dimensions WITH objects either).

   This makes the whole sticky-live-linked thing just a toy, barely usable for real work. This is not how other apps and plugins for Illustrator do this, because it makes no sense.

   And finally, if you compare this behavior with the way Angular dimension works — it correctly links the dimension with both methods!

   Please fix the bug.

   Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The latest Beta 28.5.0.78 allows manual dimensions to stick to arbitrary points and recalculate correctly when objects are repositioned or transformed — just as we expected it to. This includes gaps also.

   Please try it and see if it works for all the cases you have and comment back.

3. Illustrator Beta workspace and preferences reset after updates

   The problem is not fixed. As reported, the latest Beta build 28.5.26 resets preferences again. Please comment if you confirm this.

5. PANTONE COLORS

   The idea of "some" pantone colors not being available anymore and all previously created files coming up with black fields where there was artwork before is, I'm not going to mince words, It's outrageous and Adobe should be ashamed of themselves. But what really galls me is that A. we should have already received a list of all the colors in question. B. we should be informed that there will be an option to automatically convert them to CMYK or RGB. And C. they should already be offering an equivalency palette. (Really they should just pay the licensing fee).

   So all that is bad enough but now that i've updated to 27, the latest, there is a big blue note in the middle of my screen reminding me of this change that is half cut off because i'm using a different screen res and so i can't get rid of this note as if they think warning us enough will make it not so bad when it starts happening.

   The crashes 3 times a week, bugs, delays, long lags just to change a tool, bad UI decisions that make it harder to work, and the way-to-often updates that usually cause more problems than they fix, is already bad enough. As someone who has used every version of illustrator since 88, I feel let down, ignored and frankly betrayed by adobe.

   At least get rid of that square enclosing box (see fig 2) with the eight white anchor points that appears around every object or group now making it impossible to grab and move objects without rotating or stretching them. Horrible design flaw.

10. AI CC V 26.1 160 Shadows are still clipping (3D and Materials)

    Shadows are still being clipped in this new version when extruding a simple square object or other objects. Revolved objects, too. The object is well within the artboard boundary, yet there is what appears to be a square mask (hard edge) around the perimeter of the soft shadow, at any render setting.

    The image's gray area is the canvas, so you can see the artboard's boundary is not clipping the shadow.

13. I can't use Enter / Return key when typing

    I can't use Enter / Return key in type - Why can't I press enter to start a new line of text?

    For example:

    I can't press Return
    Like this:
    and start a new line of text
    or the Enter key
    (or use soft return holding the shift key) it just jumps out of the text and selects the text box

    Each time I'm typing and press Return or Enter Illustrator goes out of type and selects the text box instead.
    I'm having to type in Notes or an Email to create the correct type. Please help.
    I've check all my text settings including Leading. I've also checked and this works normally in Illustrator 26.5 so it means I'm using that and not the Beta version.

    I'm using Illustrator Beta Version 26.6 on Mac OS Monterey 12.5.1

14. Vertical Transform Controls Rotate Instead of Resize

    When attempting to resize an element that is zoomed-in, clicking on the vertical transform handles changes the cursor to vertical scale arrows as expected. However, dragging the handle rotates the element instead.
    This affects both the Top and Bottom handles for transform but does not affect the Left or Right. All other transform features appear to work as expected.

15. Inside / Outside aligned strokes don’t trim sharp corners properly

    The fact Inside / Outside aligned strokes are in fact dynamically generated compound shapes is a well obscured mystery, and it poses a ton of problems for experienced users.

    However, this problem is blatantly obvious for all of us.
    1. Make a path with a sharp angle, set sharp corners
    2. Try to align stroke to Inside / Outside (open paths currently support this only in Beta)
    3. Just look at the results.

    What are these protrusions?
    Why don’t they get auto-trimmed?
    Why expanding them gives a zero-width disjointed sliver and two unconnected shapes?

    The team has encountered several issues with this feature. It requires them to change the basic algorithms and it is going to take them more time than anticipated.

    While it still works in Beta 28.8.0.7, the next Beta build will have Inside/Outside aligned strokes for open paths disabled. The Beta is scheduled to be live on 7th of August.

    Once this is ready to be enabled back, the team will update the status.

19. Rethink Modal Dialogs

    Here is a significant issue that many users, including myself, have encountered while using Adobe Illustrator—the frequent appearance of popups and modal dialog boxes. These interruptions disrupt the workflow and hinder productivity, which is highly frustrating and inappropriate for a professional design software.

    While I understand the importance of notifications and updates, the current implementation of popups often feels intrusive and unnecessary. These interruptions not only break concentration but also obscure parts of the workspace, causing unnecessary delays in completing tasks. Complicated transformations that require detailed selections get ruined when you have to stop everything to click an OK button.

    Not only are these dialogs annoying, they are also highly inefficient for things like settings. Specifically, settings that involve brushes or shapes (blob tool, paintbrush, pencil, eraser, spray tools, smooth tool) All of these built-in Illustrator tools need a way to continually adjust the settings with live preview without breaking workflow. If I am erasing some details around a shape, I would like to slowly decrease the brush size as I reach into a tight area. But because I have to endure a modal dialog box, I lose track of where I am at (since the dialog box covers what I am working on) and I have no reference for my brush size.
    If you moved all alerts that were non-critical to a banner or side panel that didn't cover the workspace, that automatically collapsed, or was easily closable, it would improve the Illustrator experience 100 fold.

    If you would put the settings for the tool in a dynamic panel that let you adjust the settings while you worked and see the effects of the adjustments, it would be revolutionary for Illustrator.

    As a loyal user of Adobe Illustrator, I believe there are more user-friendly alternatives to delivering notifications and updates. For instance, utilizing non-intrusive banners or notifications within the application's interface would provide users with important information without disrupting their work.

    I kindly request that the development team consider eliminating popups and modal dialog boxes wherever possible. Right now the Illustrator interface is so reminiscent of the Alert dialog that it feels like Windows 3.1. By eliminating popup spam (adds for Mockup or other new services that nobody asked for) and preventing modal dialogs while implementing a way to change settings in real time, you would bring Illustrator up to the 2000s, maybe even late 2010s. This change would greatly improve the user experience and demonstrate Adobe's commitment to enhancing productivity for its users.

    NOTE: This is part of my request that Illustrator eliminate user error messages.
