An error occurred while saving the comment There are some benefits to this:
— Expanded results look cleaner
...and that’s it.Then, there are some detriments:
— It takes Ai longer to treat the strokes, and when compared, the time difference when modifying the paths is noticeable.
— Ai makes simplification in a dumb way, treating the object as just a path. It means the pairs of anchor we were able to use before are no longer there. Ai does not keep points where the original markers were placed.
— This is a hardcoded change, and no option to disable it (neither in UI or Prefs file) is given.
— This change lead to killing off some established complex appearance workflows. Sorry, but I can’t provide links to prove it — the original tweets about this change were published in Japanese.Please take a look at the file attached.
When we expand a stroke on the left, we don’t points an tangencies (position 4), and we don’t keep points on the perpendiculars to the original width marker (position 2)...
This is a simple case, and it gets more noticeable with more complex paths.An error occurred while saving the comment See no difference using Beta 26.0.617 (the latest).
Which version will have this to test? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are other related requests to make the treatment of Width profiles better:
1. Hard Transitions: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/47343821
2. Absolute positioning of widths markers when paths are modified: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/35891749An error occurred while saving the comment It’s very unlikely, to my knowledge, that the team is going to my fundamental changes to variable width algorithm (except maybe for cleaner results, some attempt to improve it you can see in version 26 (2022)).
I’d suggest to have an anticipation for the upcoming Letterlink plugin instead. It looks and feels far more superior.

An error occurred while saving the comment Jim, what about the dedicated Character panel — does the dropdown list in it behaves the same way as in Properties?
What about the 'keyboard dropping out', what does it mean? The keyboard just stops working at all, or the hotkeys fail, or they just vanish, or what? Please give more details — and perhaps make it a separate report instead of a comment for the different thing. Same for the 'black save screen' — what do you call a 'save screen'? Can you share a screenshot?
An error occurred while saving the comment I assume the same happens when you try to access fonts from dropdowns in Properties, in Control panel, and from Type > Font menu?

An error occurred while saving the comment Andrea, which Export method do you use: Export for Screens, or Export As?
Does it help to export PNGs instead?
Does any other app you have access to view these as duplicates, the same way Rush does?
Did you contact the Rush's developers on this? (here: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html or community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-rush/ct-p/ct-premiere-rush) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mike, I asked this even before it got shipped.
Unfortunately, Ai team decided to ignore / postpone implementing that.
Here is the request you can upvote: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/44001624-match-arrow-keys-to-view-rotationAlso, as you already know, Astute Graphics offers a nifty workaround for this with its DirectPrefs panel, which allows to sync the Constrain Angle value to the current view rotation angle. Arrows and selection marquee will still work unaffected, but this if better than nothing.
An error occurred while saving the comment There is a native workaround to deal with it and a third-party automated solution.
To force Ai to rotate a coordinate system with the view, you have to go to Preferences > General and edit the Constrain Angle value. Put a negative angle in the field — so, if you rotated the view 37°, put minus 37°. When you do that, hitting arrow keys will result moving the artwork in a proper direction, and new shapes created will be drawn properly.
Unfortunately, the marquee you get when drag with selection tools will stay rotated — this is a separate issue.
An automated solution would be using DirectPrefs plugin from Astute Graphics. Open its preferences (in the panel’s menu and enable Show Constrain Lock option. This will add a small button on the panel. Once you press it, the plugin will automatically sync the rotation angle and the constrain angle.
Take a look at the screenshot.
The plugin is free, once you register.An error occurred while saving the comment Elenit, yes, true, the team is aware of the disconnection you describe and it is under review.
To make most of tools work unrotated when the view is, you need to change Constrain Angle value to be a negative of you current view angle (e.g. minus 15 for 15). So far manually, but it’s going to be automated. If you can’t wait, you can use a similar option in DirectPrefs plugin form AstuteGraphics’ plugins pack — it matches the values for you in background.An error occurred while saving the comment AstuteGraphics plugin pack has a plugin called DirectPrefs, that has Constraint Lock option. Once enabled, it counter-matches the Constrain Angle set in general preferences, giving you the grid that is always orthogonal to a view, which makes arrow keys work orthogonal as well.
Sure it must work from the box.
An error occurred while saving the comment You can move the view with PageUp/PageDown and modifier keys: Ctrl to scroll horizontally instead of vertically, Alt to use smaller steps instead of large. These require two hands (unless you use the right one) though...
As for the view rotation... I’d propose to use Shift (I think it does nothing now but dings). Will it work for you?
Not sure if arrows keys should be modal for that, but that is my preference.
An error occurred while saving the comment It can, but it still can’t do it automatically.
See, it is not the canvas that is rotating, but a 'camera' looking at it, a viewport. The axis is still at 0, and arrows work accordingly.To do what you want, you should copy the angle of the view rotation, open Preferences: General and set the negative of the copied value to the Constrain Angle field. Turn on the grid to see if it 'straight' now.
I am considering this request as 'Allow Ai to counter-sync Constrain Angle with the rotation of the view' :)

An error occurred while saving the comment Allison, do you mean the section in Properties panel specifically (to hide it), or do you want to completely disable it, even the separate dedicated panel?

An error occurred while saving the comment I can’t say it’s fast on Windows either... Having to wait for it to call a server and fetch the data is stupid, really. It should have the current base cached and indexed, to instantly pop the results and refine them later.

There is a similar recent issue, caused by Pencil hover (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT211774) support conflict with iPad OS 17.1 and it affects only 12.9 inch (6th Generation) iPad Pro and 11-inch (4th Generation) iPad Pro.
Sometimes this can be resolved by going to Settings > Apple Pencil and turning off Show Effects.
However, please upvote the problem here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/931885-illustrator-ipad-bugs/suggestions/47171770-when-using-apple-pencil-it-crashes-on-ipad-os-17
An error occurred while saving the comment The team is working on this, yes.
Hover is definitely useful! It took Apple a while to finally make it possible... However, this specific problem seems to depend on Apple as well, so nothing is clear yet.As for the 'bug logger' — well, this is not a standard situation, thus the complex routine...

An error occurred while saving the comment We have a workaround though — to hold Opt/Alt and drag (and add Shift to lock proportions).
It’s not a final solution, but it definitely helps.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Alex, the team has made some changes into panning and zooming and you can try how it works today, in Illustrator Beta.
The team is intended to improve the multi-threadingperformance, and has announced it here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/20423296-make-illustrator-multi-threaded-on-cpuThank you for talking about it though. We need more cries like this, to make the team hear it and see the difference.
If you can — please send this file to the team for reviewing, at sharewithai@adone.com
Mention the link to this report (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47466008) also. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ismail, which version specifically?
An error occurred while saving the comment Indeed, this is something else :/
I’d start with resetting the preferences and the reinstalling it, to see if it helps (it does in many cases).
Does it help to drag-n-drop a file into the app frame / header?An error occurred while saving the comment Something went wrong with your OS file associations.
What happens if you right-click any .ai file, choose 'Open with', then 'Choose another app', then check 'Always choose this app to open .ai files' and locate the Illustrator Beta in the given list? If it is missing in the list, click 'More apps' in the very bottom of it, and then 'Look for another app on this PC', to locate the proper 'Illustrator.exe' in Program Files.
Once '.ai' is associated with Illustrator Beta, it should work fine again to open documents from Explorer and with 'Edit with' in InDesign and Photoshop. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Have you figured it out?
In Illustrator it matters which artboard is active both times — when you copy and when you paste.
You have to make sure the artboard 1 has the black frame (which is hard to see with this dark background, I know) when you press Copy, and focus the one you want to paste to before you paste.It might be a bug, but I am sure it’s just that. If you still can’t make it work (or on the contrary, can) — please reply.
As for the attachments — UV is paranoid. Ai-files often do get attached fine, zips though... sometimes renaming one to .txt helps.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hm. Again — the whole object (which should work) or just a part of it (which won’t work until you expand the image trace object)?
The former would be a bug, the latter is just a way it works now.
Why would you want to change a blend mode for a part of a live image trace, I wonder? Can you please share a screenshot?An error occurred while saving the comment Do you try to change blend mode for the image trace after expand or before? For the whole object or only a part?
Can you share an short video, please, to show how it behaves for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Arsalan, how does Ai force it?
Can you please demonstrate a short video of this behavior and share a simple test file you can replicate the bug with?
When did it start to happen exactly, which version?
Does it happen only for strokes (since you published the report in Strokes category), or with any art in general?
Do you still have this problem happening?
I assume this can be caused by the Large Canvas function enabled for the document, which makes Ai secretly scale the document 10 times...
...but it also can be something else entirely.
If you still have this file (or another one this problem happens with) — can you share it here, please, for the team to look at it?
