    @Công, it works when I try... take a look at the GIF attached.
    Please record a video or a GIF to show what happens for you when you try.

    Ton, the problem with OPACITY masks is a different report: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49690523
    This one is about CLIPPING masks — and it seems to be fixed in the Beta.
    These are related, of course... strange it wasn’t fixed at the same time.

    Now I can confirm it (thanks, Nattakorn!)

    Does everybody else have this only WITH Include Linked Files option checked?
    Does it ever happen for you with this option disabled?

    Clintisco, can you share the actual packaged .ai file, along with the linked images it uses, as well?

    What build exactly do you use?

    Oh... In this case, please open your template, use File > Package to collect it all into one folder.
    Check if the problem is still replicating, then zip it, upload it to a file hosting of your choice, and send the link to download the archive to sharewithai@adobe.com
    I understand it’d be the hassle, but I feel like it’s mandatory to share the project with the team, so they can study it.
    Thank you so much for your time spent on this!

    Another question — are these clipped?

    Ugh, this looks irritating :(
    Does it happen with linked files only, or also with embedded ones too? or only embeds?
    If these are links, does the file type matter? Like, perhaps, it happens only with PSDs, or PNGs?
    Does it happen ALL the times you reopen this specific file? Can you reproduce this from scratch, using the same images?
    Do you see any relation for the distance it gets shifted?

    Ines, can you reproduce this behavior in anew file, to see it it’s a single document problem or a larger than this one?
    Not sure I can reproduce this...

    Yes, true!
    Even if I have a specific color stop selected, double-clicking the fill/stroke in a tool panel would open Color Picker set to black (and in case of a CMYK document, it’s rick black I couldn’t care less... even if I have accurate blacks set in Preferences > Appearance of Black...)

    I’d appreciate if the Color Picker would have respected the selected gradient stop, but also allowed me to force setting the fill to a flat color right there in the Color Picker dialog, if needed.

    There is a great script that allows to create table from CSV files, but it’s a workaround (a handy one).

    Pathfinder section in Properties appears only when more than one object is fully selected. If you need to see Pathfinder in all cases, including having only one point selected, like in this case, — use the dedicated Pathfinder panel instead.

    Illustrator doesn’t offer a way to customize Properties or lock specific sections. If this is something you need — please upvote this request.

    Oh yes, Brendan, you are right!
    Than it’s the reason. The Pathfinder section in Properties requires to have more than one object selected... and to have them fully selected :)

    Even though the full Pathfinder panel has no problem working with any selection, the Properties panel tries to offer tools and options in context... it can’t house ALL the panels Ai has, so it assumes users would not need pathfinding in a case like this.

    Darrin, how many object do you have selected when you check?
    The Pathfinder section in Properties only shows up if you have more than one object selected.
    Please check and comment back.

    Brendan, can you please put these two paths into a separate file, check if the behavior works there as well, and share this test file here in comments.
    The GIF happened to be rather tiny... and I still can’t reproduce it (BTW, I use LICEcap to record GIFs: www.cockos.com/licecap/ — cross-platform, lightweight, records mouse clicks, allows to set decent FPS value)

    I can confirm the behavior with the file shared and the steps provided.

    In my test I tried to hide all layers but 'Under', 'Green Areas', 'Hydrology' sublayer (within 'Site Plan' top layer), to match the look the first screenshot has.
    Then I used Export As, PNG, with Use Artboards option checked, with Transparent Background Color chosen (doesn't' matter).
    The exported result has the contents from 'Site Plan::Building Footprints' sub-sub-layer visible (inside of the 'Buildings' sublayer), the same way the second screenshot shows it.

    The I tried to remove layers, one by one, checking what still makes these building appear. I also tried to remove layer-level appearances applied, objects, checking as I go.
    This way I was able to distill this file into a minimum of the elements — take a look at the attached file and verify you have the same behavior with it, and the hidden magenta square in 'Site Plan::Building Footprint' appears when you try to export.
    Also please confirm that deleting anything (layers, even empty ones, the drop shadow the magenta square has, etc.) makes the hidden rectangle vanish in an exported image.

    That’s a very good catch, Miguel. Thank you — and I admire your patience with this map.

    Miguel, if the problem is localized in this file, but it’s too large to get attached here, you can try to upload it to a temporary hosting service of your choice and share a link here (or send it directly to sharewithai@adobe.com for the team to review.
    Another method (time consuming) would be stripping portions of the document apart, testing it in stages. Perhaps you don’t need to have all the stuff in all the layers to trigger the bug? Anyway, without the file it’s impossible to investigate. How large is it?

    Miguel, do you mean Export As or Export for Screens method?
    Can you share the specific file you are having this problem with? Can you reproduce this problem with a file created from scratch?

    Mackenzie, I suspect you are not using the correct Offset here...
    Judging by the screenshot, you have Effect > Path > Offset Path applied to the shape, and not the Object > Path > Offset Path.
    Am I correct? These differ. The effect modifies the original path as a live alteration, and the latter adds a copy of the original path.
    Please check and comment back.

    Interesting. I wonder when you get the habit to try to use Numpad Enter for this? Is this a common way to do it somewhere else?

    Technically both Escape and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter commit typing in Ai, so if you just want a key to stop typing, this can be used... but if it’s a habit... well, you are on Windows, so Autohotkey can be a workaround method, even though setting it up to respect the type mode takes a lot of effort.

    And actually Escape, when I recheck it, is rather slow to stop editing text! Is it for you, Seb?

    You mean during a session or after relaunch? I’ve just checked if these stay the way I set them (both enabled and disabled) when the app is restarted, and these hold...
    I have to mentions the options in Preferences ARE the same options as in the Scale dialog!
    So once you enable or disable one in a dialog, it gets toggled in Preferences as well (and vice versa). Same goes for options in the Transform panel. Is this what is happening, or is it something else?
    Please check and reply, perhaps it’s something else and I mistranslated the report.

    Thumbnails for .ai (and .psd) files have been broken for many years on Windows:
    http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41767534

    Since a third-party solution to make these display again exists (mentioned in comments), I bet Ai team can fix it as well.

    It’s dangerous to call things Smart... When they behave dumb, the name sound like an insult. Sadly, this is the case.

    Please provide more specific cases, with video proofs, ask you colleagues to share and vote, to move this further. This is the way to force changes to things that are broken — be vocal and persistent. Thank you all and let’s hope we get heard.

    @O Nate, do you have this option checked in Preferences?

    An error occurred while saving the comment
    AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) commented  · 

    Not really. Smart Guides require much deeper refinement than just fixing this one problem, and nobody in the team is at for now, I think... Should check.

    So far I can advise to ditch using smart guides for artboards, and make rectangles instead, followed by Object > Artboards Convert to Artboards command (I have in on Ctrl+F5). Actually, it’s been my proffered way for creating these since day one of having multiple artboards... I know, a workaround, but an efficient one).

    I agree with all the statements below.
    The way smart guides snap to objects beyond the view or to a random (for us) picked point is maddening.
    The video shows the exact reason I prefer creating new artboards with a set of custom made scripts and hotkeys.
    Thank you all for pushing this. I very much hope to force some good changes, when smart guides problem is put on the table.

    If you still have this issue, please provide a document that behaves like this for you and a video demonstrating the issue.
    'It's been better in older days' is not enough to replicate the problem, and there are a lot of ways to use Illustrator.
    Please, help to track it down.

    OK, get it. Imagine this case then.
    What if I have an object and create a dimension snapped to it. Then I change the text manually (let’s imagine it’s allowed to do). Then I resize the object, and the dimensions has to update (because it’s connected to the object). What should happen with the altered text? Should it stay custom? should it update without or with a warning? Should we get a way to reset the value without the need of recreating it? How do you plane one can find 'fake' dimensions in a file that is supplied by someone else (no-one can guarantee consistency then). When I think of all these questions, expanding a dimension into just a group to edit the text seems like a lesser evil than thinking about all the slippery bottlenecks allowing this would bring...

    Point taken :) Just wanted to get a proper explanation as a foundation for this request. I have some experience with apparel, so I totally get it.

    Just to get even more: should this mode automatically put the focus into the text after a blank dimension is created (in case this comes as a mode and not as a way to edit text in 'honest' dimensions)?

    So what you need is a 'blank dimension' mode, when you still witness and dimension line, arrowheads, some text — but actually no text given from the beginning so you could enter something else (what exactly, I wonder)? And to have it still attached to the object and having it respond to changing the actual size of it? And you want to have it just to create rough mockups, and to do that you want the honest tool to learn to lie? :)
