    There is a related request about the ability to create symbols from multiple objects at once:

    If I select several symbols in Symbols panel and then try to place all of them on canvas, by dragging them, I get only one of them placed — the one I dragged the selection by...

    ...but why? Why can’t I have all those symbols I selected?

    Also vote for the related request, about breaking links to several symbols at once:

    Sure! Voted.
    I know of several workaround we can use today. The most accessible one is a free Create Symbols from Groups script by Toshiyuki Takahashi (gau): https://github.com/gau/create-Individual-symbols

    Amanda, does it still happen for you in latest versions of Illustrator?
    If yes — can you please record the steps to replicate this on video?

    I agree the file should remember chosen simulation per file, voted.
    However, I do not agree proofing an RGB document to CMY has no meaning. On the contrary, it’s one of main uses for this function... but it definitely should not revert to it once changed and saved, yeah.

    Tom, does this still happen for you in the latest versions of Ai? Does not for me. Can you verify that, please?

    MJ, is this still a problem for you in the latest version of Ai?
    I’m mot sure I understand the problem only by this description.... Control panel never showed any controls for the blend, it requires to call the dialog, either through the menu or by double-clicking the tool’s icon.
    Please help me to understand it.

    Jason, do you test it on a curves spine like this one?
    If yes — then it always behaved like this.
    There is a feature request to allow us to control distribution separately form the curvature of a spine — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32403880
    Do you mind me merging this to it?

    Also, there is a workaround I can offer for now — add more points on a path. The more points you add, the more uniform the distribution becomes.

    Can’t say it’s a best place to search for help of this kind... I’d ask this at Adobe forums instead — and I see you already did. This place is more about bug reports, feature request, and specialized feedback.

    Gala, can you please share a short video of this behavior?
    Can you also share your full OS specs?
    Does a previous version, or the Beta version (free to install from your CCD app), work fine?

    That’s not a real fix though. Although the legacy dialog works just fine, it does not magically makes the modern one work :( Glad at least you are able to crate docs now.

    As a workaround, try to open Preferences and check 'Use Legacy "File New" interface' — does it help to avoid the problem. Please reply.

    Check all the methods Ai has to create new documents and see if any of them work.
    1. File > New
    2. File > New, but with 'Use legacy "File New" interface' option enabled in Preferences > General
    3. Creating a new document from an .ait template file (you can save any document as such a template, and then double-click it to create a new document based on it).
    If you get any error message — please share a screenshot.

    Nur, meanwhile you can revert to legacy New window in Preferences > General. It won’t fix that one, but it will allow you to work.

    I can’t reproduce it, and a global color gets assigned to a gradient stop just fine.
    here are numerous factors that can limit the bug, so it can easily be localized. So no wonder Adobe ignores it, they just knew nothing about it until this report...
    Does it happen for any gradient at all? Can you share a test file, please? Also full details about your setup: OS build, Ai version, etc.

    Furthermore, I am seeing you are an Astute Graphics user... can you please also check if you are able to change the color of the stop using their Gradient Forge plugin? To know if it’s an object problem or the panel problem or something else entirely.

    Meanwhile, there is a great free script written by Sergey Osokin, ColorBlindSimulator: https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Color.md#colorblindsimulator
    It supports viewing the selection recolored according these impairments: protanopia, protanomaly, deuteranopia, deuteranomaly, tritanopia, tritanomaly, achromatopsia, achromatomaly

    When the Discover panel got added into Illustrator, I hoped it would work the same way.
    We can call it with a hotkey (F1), it’s type ready, it gives results while you type, it searches all at once: tools, top menus, help articles... it highlights the menus also.

    But then I realized it’s far away from being anything usable.
    1. It’s not a panel, but a window, and there are problems with focusing it
    2. It’s SLOW. Instead of instant results of a fuzzy search, we wave to wait, sometimes several seconds. Sometimes just nothing happens, and it shows the previous result (see image 1). Sometimes typing more helps, sometimes not, and I have to relaunch it get my results (see image 2).
    3. It does not show you hotkeys, so it does not educate you
    4. It does not search everything. We have a whole zoo of panels’ flyout menus, and accessing these is still MOUSE ONLY — in 2023. Try to toggle Scale Strokes and Effects with it, yeah.
    5. Down arrows keys to move the cursor to the results sometimes (most of times) just FAIL.

    So yeah, this panel still sucks.

    There are several third-party solution I know of.

    First, it’s Finder extension by n8ivestudio, but, unfortunately, it’s still is semi-closed Beta. There is no link even I can share.

    Then there is a command panel by Josh Duncan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhh_Dvfs0ro

    And I bet there are more. Still Discover sucks :(

    At least Illustrator should learn to offer a choice, when we paste object with the same named style from one document into another, where a style with the same name already exist... Now Ai just adds a number to it, while it could have been asking us about replacing one or keeping both! Per style, or all at once, just like with files.

    Eddie, if you still have the original document with this unduplicated text — perhaps you can make a copy of it, but delete everything else, to protect the data? I’d really prefer it get fixed... I’m glad the workaround exists, but I don’t like the bug still exists I’d also love to learn more about the difference it makes if you select this differently.

    Eddie, this is not the first time this bug crawls in Ai, but it’s been fixed almost immediately the last time...
    Which version are you using?
    Can you reproduce it in a new document?
    Can you share a test file with this particular text piece only?

    Just to test — what if you don’t use Type > Create Outlines, but instead apply the Effect > Path Outline Object — do bullelts stay?

    Indeed, if one uses the Direct Selection to marquee a dynamic symbol fully, Illustrator treats it as selecting all elements of it, not as selecting the symbol itself. It makes sense, but I personally see how it can be inconvenient.
    However, I don’t understand why Direct Selection is used... I’d use Group Selection instead — it does not select anything inside of a dynamic symbol and treats it as a whole. You are just one Opt/Alt key away from it working as expected — hold it and Direct Selection toggles into Group Selection.

    I don’t actually think selecting all parts of a dynamic symbol should become a selection of a symbol. On the contrary, many users ask to stop doing the same thing for selecting points, when selecting all the points in a path hides point-specific buttons in Control... similar problem happens when you select all objects in a group when isolated, and Ai treats is as if a whole object is selected (although we are inside of it). So I don’t think Direct Selection should be changed here.

    Another way to let symbols selected whole when you already made a selection — Select > Inverse, twice. But this, again, whille select ALL partially selected objects whole, not only symbols.
