An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment 1. A request to be able to just click to select a tool in the Edit Toolbar 'drawer' exists:
Allow to pick tool from Customize Toolbar for temp use
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41324953
It works, actually, but the tool gets picked only AFTER you close the 'drawer' — this can be done better.2. Why not make the icons draggable instantly?
This is exactly how it was made at the start, and it became a MESS. Users accidentally moved their tool icons without noticing it, hiding them in existing tool groups and blindly creating new ones. UV is still full of 'Where is my Scissors' and 'Why is my Selection in grouped with Magic Wand' yells — I find them regularly and close. So the team decide to make it a mode and give access to lock tools.Perhaps C4D suffers from it as well, but we both know nothing about it. Here, at UV, this becomes visible.
You might want to be interested in this request as well:
Lock palettes or allow to undo UI changes
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33034954An error occurred while saving the comment Ai team seems to prefer not overcrowding the room, unless a user decides to do it manually.
They made the Edit Toolbar drawer we can open with three dots at the bottom of a tool panel, but it can’t be locked to not collapse and it doesn’t conform the screen size or get a scrollbar.
And collecting all the tools manually by drag-n-drop into a custom tool panel is hardly a viable solution, right? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, can you check if it works for you in the latest Illustrator version?
Open the Edit Toolbar menu, click on a tool you don’t have in the panel, and then close the menu — the tool should be active now.An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, I like this one. I’m not sure if it should be picked at a single or double click though.

An error occurred while saving the comment Philipp, yeah... it crashed 8 times for me in just two days.
Saving a file, cutting a path, using a plugin...
Do you send the crash reports though? Do you get crash reporter dialog appear at all? -

An error occurred while saving the comment You’d have to show these privately to the team then.
Please send these to sahrewithai@adobe.com, and put the link to this report in the email’s text (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48775607), along with full specs on the images in question and the PDF preset used.
Thank you!An error occurred while saving the comment Please share some screenshots of this grainy/rough look.
Does it apply only to images within the exported PDF, or vector art as well?
Does a PDF look OK if you try to view it in Acrobat or any other PDF viewer? -

An error occurred while saving the comment I found another user who can replicate this, on Mac.
They say if you keep the marquee held, and then try to press Cmd/Ctrl + Opt/Alt once again (while still holding the marquee), it suddenly works.
Can you confirm this?An error occurred while saving the comment Can you share the test file, just in case? Maybe it’s file specific?
An error occurred while saving the comment Can’t confirm this.
If I hold Ctrl+Alt to temporarily switch my Selection Tool into Group Selection Tool, hitting E once while dragging properly enables the enclosed mode and objects within a marquee get selected as expected... applies both to paths and text objects.
Let’s try to figure out what else can influence this... -

Please accept my sincere apology for the inconvenience. Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.
Thanks & Regards,

An error occurred while saving the comment Can you check displays’ native size in pixels, for both the ordinary one and the Cintiq?
An error occurred while saving the comment Interesting! So you just toggled it back and forth and now it is not cropped anymore?
Do you mean the OS’s scaling or the Ai’s scaling?An error occurred while saving the comment Stefania, it looks like menus are cropped... like if the OS decided to draw them smaller than the contents.
Please check if changing UI scaling in Preferences > User Interface changes anything (you can call this dialog with Ctrl + K, if the menu is clipped as well).
Also check if you have a non-default UI scaling for Windows as well.
Please reply back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment I understand it perfectly, yes.
I immediately forwarded this to the one who can review this, and hopefully they will make it possible to control.An error occurred while saving the comment To _x5F_ actually.
Here is a report about this: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48696056
The comments inside explain why it happens and why it behaved differently before.
Please read through.An error occurred while saving the comment Richard, do you use Save As or Export As method (or maybe even Export Assets) for this?

An error occurred while saving the comment Yep, Stephen Vincent Kimbo’s Polar Mesh Tool: https://kimbo.wordshape.com/
An error occurred while saving the comment So far to create a mesh like this, looped in a ring, we have to create a circle, fill it with a radial gradient, expand it to gradient mesh.
The result is exactly what we need. The seam we get on the right side is inevitable (that’s how meshes do)... and it can be more or less automated... but still it feels like this can be done faster and from the box.
MeshTormentor plugin does not really have any in its toolset also. -

This is a limitation of Ai. The truncated path has 32000 points exactly, and the missing part of it just being cut open.
Even though a PDF can have more points, Ai won’t be able to read it. This is not a new bug, it’s just this particular path. You can workaround by splitting it into four chunks.
Please also upvote this request to lift the limitation.
An error occurred while saving the comment I’ve seen enough of unlikely coincidences here and erroneous conclusions to believe this can be just really first time you have a path like this, with these many spikes.
At the same hand, I can be totally wrong with my own assumption! :)So let’s test it.
I launched several older versions of Illustrator: CC2020, СС2017, CS6...
All of these treat your PDF in the same exact manner — see just one screenshot of many attempts attached, they all look identical.
I searched web for 'Illustrator 32000 points' (there are plenty of cases) and asked a friend who develops for Ai — he told me this limitation indeed is nothing new and was there since the very first Ai release.I am trying to elevate this. to see if the limit is obsolete now and can be lifted.

An error occurred while saving the comment How does this not have more votes? Well...
Most people come here to vote for one specific pan they discovered.
You, K-O, upvoted more than 50! But Ai UserVoice has over 7500 bugs reported. Some of these are duplicates, some are poorly posted, without proofs or details, some are actually resolved, but even 5000 makes it 100 times more.
I bet most of these are familiar to everyday Ai users (they are for me!) ...but people just don’t care or don’t have time to vote for OTHER problems other than their-only-one-they-came-here-for :(
32 votes, even though every voice is precious, is hardly enough to change the prioritization queue, it seems.So vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. This is our only effective tool to raise the awareness of the team.

An error occurred while saving the comment There are two options then:
1. You can replicate this problem with a different document, using the different art. If it makes the same result — please share.
2. You can share these sensitive files with the team directly, by sending them over to sharewithai@adobe.com — in this case share the link to this report for them to track it (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46840543)
The thing most of times the export result is worse because of a certain combination of factors. It does not always behave like this 100% of times, that’s why test files (and the settings!) are important to have and know.An error occurred while saving the comment Export for Screens uses a different, much faster algorithm — but it has it costs. It does not mean it can’t be made better, but it has to be investigated with some data at hands. Can you please provide A) the original test file, B) the results Save for Web makes and you are happy with, C) the images Export for Screen makes?
An error occurred while saving the comment Peter, please provide the test file that results this image when exported and exact settings you use to export it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Danny, please refer to my comment below.
TLDR: Illustrator also copies the extended appearance of the text, and other apps treat it as an image, preferring it to text.
Use these apps’ dedicated 'Paste as text' commands.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment Illustrator copies not just text, but the formatted text with an appearance, and most apps can’t handle it, obviously.
If you want to paste only the text contents, you should use Paste as Text commands (or similar).
Most apps have it. Excel has, but it doesn’t need it, it is smart enough to paste the text contents only by default. Google Sheets are a bit dumber, they try to preserve the appearance and paste it as an image, unless you use Paste Special > Values Only — Ctrl+Shift+V (may differ).Some apps don’t have the ability to paste text though.
Windows 10 does not have this option from the box, so they have in as a PowerToys plugin:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/paste-as-plain-textMacs has its own way to allow pasting as text, hare is a first article form Google about it:
http://eshop.macsales.com/blog/72298-paste-non-formatted-text-mac/Perhaps Illustrator should also have Copy as Text... but it’s hardly a better option and is even more a hassle.
