An error occurred while saving the comment Here, I test it, tracing this zig-zag line by hand (with a mouse, don't judge!)
From to to bottom the fidelity rises... and the step 2 feels VERY smooth, almost like the last one.An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, the almost-accurate setting (2) feels like too smooth compared to the middle one (3). All others I try feels adequate...
Thank for the report! -

An error occurred while saving the comment UserVoice has temporary (I hope) problems with attaching .ai files :(
It was reported here — https://feedback.uservoice.com/forums/1-general-feedback/suggestions/50728085-uv-forbids-to-attach-ai-illustrator-files — but upvoting it would require setting up a new account, so I can’t ask you to do it, really.In the mean time, use the email I mentioned below — sharewithai@adobe.com (again, with this report’s link mentioned, http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50201670)
An error occurred while saving the comment Screenshots won’t be enough, sadly... Please package the original file (with fonts included, if possible) and send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com, so the team can investigate what goes wrong with it: objects, fonts, styles, etc. Mention the link to this report for faster tracking also — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50201670
An error occurred while saving the comment Paul, please share more information on this (and ideally a packaged text fail) — what gets broken exactly and how?

An error occurred while saving the comment The team 'fixed' the behavior that allowed us to 'overprint' the grid when Overprint preview mode was enabled.
Now the grid won’t be displayed above opaque objects when Preferences > Guides & Grid > Grids in Back is enabled.
The image shared is the correct and expected behavior — and this is what team thinks.However.
I hate it personally. I’ve been using the Overprint hack to display subtle grids above everything since pre CS era.
Disabling Grids in Back to display grids above artwork is horrendously loud — lines are too prominent!Here’s a report about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50738213
An error occurred while saving the comment It looks like CADguides panel from the CADtools plugin offers a way to customize grid colors, without any relaunch. No way to make stroke weights and opacity though, but I suppose API just doesn’t allow this for plugins.

An error occurred while saving the comment When I test it, the harmony colors are always linked (even if I pressed the 'Unlink harmony color' button in the previous Recolor session). Ai seems to always link these when the dialog is launched... But Steve says these are UNlinked for them, if I understand it correctly...
And you, Jane, want to limit the selected colors to a particular swatch library by default, right?
Both requests are about either making all settings in the dialog sticky, or with additional presets (and since many choices in the windows are custom, these would only be partial)...
I persoanlly want to make the Color Reduction Options sticky. At the moment, White and Black are always preserved... and when I change it, the change sticks between Recolor sessions, across documents even... but not between Ai launches!

An error occurred while saving the comment So it’s not crashing, but something else then... How does it look? Do they appear and vanish? or just never show up? Can you record a video, please?
What windows are affected, but New Document? 'Every in-app' is rather non-descriptive...
You say 'saving settings' — is it one containing the settings for the chosen file format, like JPEG Options?If you still have a link to this old post by another Brazilian user —can you share it?
An error occurred while saving the comment Clara, when it does — do you get a crash reported dialog? Do you send the reports to Adobe? If you do — do you use the same email the you use here at UserVoice?
When did it start happening? Was it working better with a previous version? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Same for me. The path gets caught up when the Pencil tool is used (even when it’s not previewed while the mouse key / pen is held), but not for the Brush!

An error occurred while saving the comment I found several workarounds, and the best one is to use dummies (like no-stroke-no-fill circles) along with actual objects.
It definitely has flaws: it becomes harder to edit the guiding path, the steps and quantized, it looks rather noisy, aiming the actual objects is hard.Another method would be using several copies stacked... When only one object is placed on a path, Ai allows to position it freely. The downside is editing all copies of the guiding path simultaneously. In the GIF I use Glue Mode of the PathScribe plugin tool, but without it’d be rather painful.
Finally, Transform effect can be used to reposition objects. Looks tangible with the Stylism plugin, but hardly effective without it.

1. Allow to Move All objects and adjust their Spacing from both ends in Objects on Path — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48987941
2. Add an option to measure gaps between objects in Objects on Path by their bounds, not between centers — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48987905An error occurred while saving the comment Agree!
For me it jumps with 1 pt step, not even a half a point.
And actually it jumps for me in with 0.35 mm step, because the team believes everybody in the world uses fraction of an inch, and PostScript’s points, being the foundation of Ai, should also be a it’s rigid coffin. I do not care about points, and don’t want to see them anywhere.
I suggested having a slow drag mode, so we can hold Cmd/Ctrl while dragging the slider, to make it go with 10 times smaller increment. Ideally, the value should be customizable (if not from within the UI, bowels of Prefs file will do).
And surely we just need a filed somewhere as well to edit the value directly, or even a way to double-clik the slider handle to enter it right there on canvas.

This and asking for your screen size again is the only thing I can be helpful with here...
At least know you are not alone with this problem and the the team knows about it as well.An error occurred while saving the comment Margot, recently the team added the long-awaited artboard background color options (requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31386253)
So now each artboard has 2 more controls: a dropdown menu and a color chip.
These now take space in the Control panel, and it seems like these push out the Width and Height controls out of the bounds!
What width does your screen have? -

I happens when the width of the screen is not wide enough to fit all the elements the Control panel can display. Some blocks, especially from the Transform section, get omitted.
To workaround this without purchasing a larger display, one can open the Control panel's flyout menu, untick some options, like Align, and check if the section needed returns. If yes — then please vote here for a feature that would allow us to change the order of blocks in Control: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/40231882-allow-us-to-chose-order-of-controls-in-control-pan

It seems like the Size/Leading, Tracking, Baseline Shift values in Preferences > Type got changed... If it is the issue — please upvote it still and leave a comment. It’s not clear yet why it happens.
An error occurred while saving the comment In Preferences > Type — what do you have as top three values: Seize/Leading, Tracking, Baseline Shift?
Having these set to 0 (or rather to the smallest allowed value), due to the Prefs corruption bug, was the reason for this behavior previously, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50353824An error occurred while saving the comment By any chance — do you have the Wacom driver installed?

An error occurred while saving the comment @Milosz, I explained the problem in details in the comment below from the earlier report yours one got merged into, along with several workaround available for us at the moment. I agree! But I don’t think personally the team could provide any fix for this soon... the problem seems to be inherited in the core approach to corners — each one must be separate from another, and they can’t share adjacent points... The more attention we pull here, the higher the chance to get it fixed.
An error occurred while saving the comment I see what is happening, and can explain why it happens...
Ai’s approach to round corners is a peculiar one...
It doesn’t know if a corner was rounded, it keeps no tags for these, but it can detect arcs — and when it sees one, it draws a widget, calculating the reformed curve while you drag it or change the value numerically.
For some reason Ai’s solution does not allow to make two arcs meet in ONE point. Try to round two adjacent corners of a square, then click the merged point and drag it — you’ll see it’s actually two points. A tiniest gap should exist for the algorithm to work, it seems (although I have no idea why).
In this case, the logo was built without native widgets, and the circular arcs B and D have don’t have the Tiniest Gap... but when you start editing a corner with a widget, Ai converts the path into the one that can be edited with the rules established. And if two arcs can’t share a point by the rules, for Ai it means it’s not two arcs then, but only one rounded corner for a curved path. It makes it a not exactly 90°, and it makes the point shift.
To see what I mean, try to click the widget in the center of D and drag it into zero.To workaround the problem, select the shifting point before rounding corners and press 'Cut path at selected anchor points' in Control (or use Scissors with Smart Guides enabled) — this would force Ai to keep it when making a new rounded corner. When finished, press Ctrl+J to close the path back.
Another method would be to use a free Round Any Corner script by Hiroyuki Sato (https://shanfan.github.io/Illustrator-Scripts-Archive/) or Dynamic Corners plugin by Astute Graphics (https://docs.astutegraphics.com/vectorscribe/dynamic-corners)
An error occurred while saving the comment Not seeing it happening, but this feels familiar...
Do you happen to still have the file? If not — can you reproduce it from scratch?
In any way — can you tell how the larger rounded corner was created?An error occurred while saving the comment Here is a file provided by https://x.com/onthehead with a very simple test file.

Can you share the file?
Does it work as expected in other apps? Adobe apps?
Was it working better before upgrading to Tahoe? before upgrading to Ai v30?
