Yes, it’s especially a problem when placing vectors. Right now I’m working on some wall graphics at 100% scale (now that Illustrator can finally work with artboards larger than 227 inches, or whatever the previous limit was). I have a set of hundreds of line icons I’ve designed, and I might use 20 of them in this one mural. Even though the icons are vector art, I prefer to place them on the page as linked images rather than paste them because I don’t want to accidentally alter them in any way. In particular, I definitely want to avoid scaling them without having the “Scale Strokes & Effects” checkbox checked, since they are line icons with live strokes. When I place them in the page, they are tiny since I’m working on a massive artboard. The only way to be sure every placed icon is at the same scale would be to place them all at once and scale them up to size together, but that’s not a realistic workflow, since I’m designing the wall one section at a time, and I may change my mind about the size of the icons later.

I almost mentioned using Rasterino as a workaround, but even it doesn’t help with non-raster images.

Come on, Adobe. I deal with this bug almost daily. Please fix it.

If you create an area text field, you can resize the box without affecting the text by dragging the control handles of the box. But if you try to resize the box numerically using the Transform palette or Control Bar, the text stretches and squashes, which is never useful. InDesign gets this right; try harder.

Why? His reasoning is “Illustrator has always done it this way”. That does not address any of my reasons for it being a bad implementation.

For me, I want to jump across words hundreds of times a day. I want to kern letter pairs maybe once a week. And to reiterate, Illustrator already uses Shift-Command-[ and Shift-Command-] for kerning, plus it's in the Character palette.

Everywhere else on a Mac, Option-arrow moves the cursor right or left across entire words. On Illustrator, it kerns letter pairs. Illustrator already uses Shift-Command-[ and Shift-Command-] for kerning, so it is stupid to override the standard Mac behavior with duplicate functionality that is not only rarely used, but also exists in the Character palette.
I know that, inexplicably, Illustrator supports Command-arrow for skipping across words, but it does it incorrectly. Not only does this method skip across the word, it also skips across the following space instead of the preceding space. The exception to this is if a word has a punctuation mark after it. In that case, Illustrator treats the punctuation mark as a word, and skips over the punctuation mark and the space that follows it, which is just ridiculous.
Here is a video of Illustrator's poor implementation of word skipping, using the wrong keyboard shortcut:

Starting from the February 2024 release, version 28.3, this option is no longer enabled by default for new documents. If you had hyphenation enabled in an existing document, Ai will respect this.

It ended a long time ago for people who bothered to learn what a New Document Profile is. Whatever.

I think it's a misconception that the reason why hyphenation is turned on by default is because, deep in the bowels of Illustrator’s source code, there is a 0 that should be a 1. The reason new documents have hyphenation turned is the same reason your Swatches, Graphic Styles, Symbols, and Brushes palettes are filled with a bunch of useless cruft: because Adobe set up the New Document Profile files that way. But you can change all that once and for all. Delete all the cruft from the tool palettes and turn off hyphenation, and your world will be so much happier.

Dina, a New Document Profile is not the same thing as the New Document dialog box. There is a folder on your system called New Document Profiles. In there is a set of Illustrator files that are the starting point for all your newly created documents, depending on which one you select from the pulldown menu in the New Document dialog box.

I think that turning off hyphenation alone is not enough of a change to register the document as being modified. So in addition to unchecking the box, draw a shape and delete it, so the little dot appears indicating the file has been modified. Then save the file and try again.

> I do a lot of print, web and OOH work and have more doc sizes needed than I can count.
Why would that matter? If your New Document profiles all have hyphenation turned off, then no matter which one you customize to create your custom doc size, it will also have hyphenation turned off.
I suspect the people still complaining about this don't actually know what a New Document profile is.

It doesn't work *around* the issue; it addresses it head-on and solves it. The current New Document profile has hyphenation turned on by default; just edit it to have it turned off by default. Then it's globally turned off for you, every single time. There are far greater things to whine about.

Did you see Ton's comment? This becomes a non-issue if you just turn off hyphenation in your New Document profile.

I don't see your point. They tried to fix a different problem, and broke something else in the process. This is not expected, intuitive, or acceptable.

When two or more objects are grouped, and you go into Isolation Mode, you should be able to select each object and use Transform Each to transform each one independently of each other. What actually happens is the entire group gets transformed together, which defeats the purpose of going into Isolation Mode. Here's a video:

Here are two more problems with it:
3. Applying a paragraph style simply does not work unless the entire paragraph is selected. It should work even if the cursor is in the paragraph and no text is selected.
4. When you choose Load All Styles or Load Paragraph Styles from the Paragraph menu and then load the styles from another document, the incoming styles do not override existing styles with the same name like they should. They don't get imported at all.
Make it work like InDesign. It is unusable garbage in its current state.

There is sometimes the rare occasion when I don't want to update modified links in an Illustrator file. Illustrator will ask: "Some links are missing or modified in the Links panel. Would you like to update them now?" If I say "No", here's what happens:
1. If I switch to another application and then back to Illustrator, the dialog will reappear immediately.
2. If I switch to another Illustrator window, the dialog will reappear immediately.
3. If I don't switch anything, but keep on working in the same Illustrator window, the dialog will reappear after about 30-60 seconds.
If I tell Illustrator not to update the links, it should not ask me again, or at least not for a long time.

If text spans two (or more) text boxes, it is very difficult to select text. As long as a cursor is over a line of text, the selected text works as expected. But when the cursor is positioned between two lines of text, the selection includes chunks of text from both text boxes. It's particularly annoying when you're trying to select text beginning at the end of a paragraph. If you don't position the cursor JUST RIGHT, you'll select everything but your intended selection. Here's a video:

Gets fixed with the relaunch.
Vote and comments if it does not help you in the same situation.

I am experiencing this as well. Here is a video.

🤦🏻♂️ I actually didn't realize you could twirl down the Links panel to reveal scale information. That helps a lot, but we still a way to change the scale to an exact amount instead of having to do a bunch of math to normalize the scale of multiple things on the page.
