  1. Illustrator Beta workspace and preferences reset after updates

    Loving the beta app, but every time I update the workspace resets and I have to recreate it from a blank slate every time.

  2. Glyphs are missing in the Glyphs panel

    The glyphs don't show up when I open them. No matter which font I choose, it's always the same problem.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. Text disappearing in Preview/other Adobe apps

    Updated my version of Beta today.

    After saving a working file it no longer displays text in finders preview, or within an indesign file as a placed graphic. It displays correctly when opened in Illustrator (normal and beta versions).
    Using other devices running Sequoia 15.2 the preview image and indesign file with the placed graphic also appear without text, but opening in Illustrator on that device does show it. So it's not OS related.

    My only work around is to open the file and resave it in normal Illustrator and not the Beta version.

  7. Snap to Point is broken in Beta 29.6 91

    When we disable everything but Snap to Point (to have a clean experiment), the way it works is awful.

    It seems like it happens after all, but the way the cursor blinks and the object gets snapped only after the mouse is released makes it very unobvious (snap-to-pointtestBeta.gif)

    Now take a look how general release handles it. This is how it should work (snap-to-pointtestGA.gif) — no cursor jittering, the objects renders as snapped before mouse/pen is released.

  8. Some tools don’t allow to snap the transformation pivot to the current selection’s own points using Smart Guides

    The latest Beta 29.6.57
    It seems like Rotate and Scale tools (and I suspect others as well) no longer see Smart Guides for the current selection’s own points — only of other objects. What’s wrong? All SG options are checked, as always for me.

    Still works as expected in the main build.

  9. Typing text and changing color don’t get immediately updated on canvas

    The work done is not visible instantly. I can see the changes when zoomed in. The preview section is not working properly.

  10. STEX error when using Beta Mockup Feature

    When I apply new Mockup feature, it shows this: 'The operation cannot complete because of unknown error [STEX]'. I'm disappointed and would like to know how to fix it.

  11. Auto Spell Check red wavy underlines on exported raster images

    The red wavy underlines denoting misspellings are still visible in Save for Web raster images. This issue occurs only in beta version 29.0.38 and is not present in the production version 28.7.1
