  3. illustrator Stops Responding when Scrolling Fonts in Glyph Panel

    While trying to select an appropriate Glyph from a symbol font installed in Windows 11, the dropdown font list in the Glyph panel makes Illustrator stop responding for as many as 3 full minutes. The Windows alert "Illustrator preview is not responding" is displayed prompting you to exit the app, but in the time it takes to fill out this form, it finally becomes responsive again. However, I can't get through my entire font list to the font I want because it locks up every time. Last time this happened, it was also trying to update saved content in my…

  4. Rotation Problem with Transform Controls

    Another problem with rotation. Where the transform controls change the pointer to display transforms, but only rotate, not resize.

  5. Rulers have turned black

    Operating system: See DxDiag.txt document

    Version Illustrator (Beta) 29.8 28 (64-bit)

    I opened Illustrator yesterday to find the rulers have blacked out (see image). I have tried everything I can think of, even uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator but to no avail.
    The rulers work just fine on the regular version, the problem only exists on the Beta version.

    Many thanks David
    Keep up the great work.

  6. Can’t select objects by clicking their fills with Direct Selection Tool in Beta 29.5.0.15

    It’s no longer possible to select objects using the Direct Selection Tool without clicking on either the object’s edge, or the object's center point. Clicking on the object's fill does not select the object. This has worked normally up until the 29.5 release.
    Same happens when trying to select a part of a dynamic symbol.
    Group Selection and Selection Tools works fine.

  7. 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.

  11. Custom presets for Asset Export

    The newly added feature in beta to save custom presets in "Asset Export" does not work properly.

    It only saves "x" factor scales. Other scales "Width", "Height" or "Resolution" don't save at all but are instead converted to "x" scales. So 1000px becomes 1000x.

    Check out my video to showcase the issue:

    https://app.screencast.com/0kmPP1wFG3kwP

    This seems to be a bug.

  12. Branding of Review/Share Page

    This collaboration feature is actually quite nice to get client feedback. It’s simple and provides just enough functionality. However, I’d be more inclined to use it if our own brands had some presence on the page. I have worked with various online feedback apps and most paid versions at least provide a logo we can drop into place. A good spot is where the Creative Suite logo sits. Besides, there’s already an Adobe logomark in the top-right of the page.

  13. Preferences require 2x Enter to commit and exit

    Focus is in Keyboard Increment in Preferences now, but you have to hit Enter 2x to commit and exit the dialog. Used to be 1x.

  14. When typing, Shift+R doesn't type a letter

    Typing R doesn’t work. I think it's changing to the brush tool?
    I can a capital letter R by using the glyph window, though.

  15. Do you guys really have to write the full "Adobe Illustrator 2024" in the Mac menu bar?

    It used to say "Illustrator" in the Mac OS menu bar for decades (briefly "Illustrator CC").

    I have a new MacBook Pro with the camera cutout, and now, because it was changed to a totally unnecessary "Adobe Illustrator 2024," all my menu items are being pushed to the other side of the camera housing, which then covers up my menu bar items. Seriously?

    What was wrong with how it was before? Is it not a priority for the user interface to be space-efficient? It has to tell us the year?

  16. Clicking the locked object with Group Selection tool inside of a group with an effect applied selects the whole group

    When you have a locked child in a group with any effect applied (Transform or Drop Shadow or Offset Path...), clicking this locked child with Group Selection tool (not Direct one) selects the whole object — while it is expected to have nothing selected.
    Selecting the whole group with Group Selection should work only if you make several clicks on an child object, each click selecting the next parent group.... but here the child is locked, and it should not receive any clicks! Somehow having the effect applied breaks the click detection.

    This becomes especially painful when the effect is…

  17. Deleting anything in Layers panel with Delete button focuses the Search field

    When in Beta I highlight an object in Layers panel and click the Delete button there — suddenly the Search field receives focus, preventing me from switching tools with hotkeys.
    If I drag the object onto the Delete button there — it works fine.
    Nothing like this happens in GA build.

  18. Beta Print Bleed has problems with locked layers

    In Illustrator Beta when a bleed is applied to an Artboard and then you lock a layer a message pops up saying "Unhide and unlock objects to include them in generative Expand". Once you click OK the message keeps reappearing not allowing you to do anything else.

  19. 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.

  20. Have to restart Illustrator three times to load certain Adobe fonts

    Certain fonts don't load in Illustrator unless i restart the program multiple times.

    Sofia pro for example will never load in the first time and on the second start, will only load the base, so i can't get anything more than the italics and bold weights. in addition, just recently on the second start, i get the error that there is no account tied to my startup.

    By the third restart, i can load in demi, medium, black, and the rest that I need.
