    It’s OK, Tom, updating is something we all know can be dangerous for our workflows, alas. And actually I do not recall if this option ever was promoted to be enabled by default... perhaps it was, this is something I can’t say for sure. Definitely not in other newer versions.
    1994! That’s before gradients! Is started after :)
    Glad this got sorted out. If only all problems were that easy to address.
    Thanks for the call, please add more.

    Tom, it’s not new. This mode was introduced in version 24.3 (released in August of 2020). It is similar to the way InDesign does it, and some users requested it.
    If you don’t like it — you can easily disable it in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section, toggling the 'Select and Unlock objects on canvas' option.
    Please comment back if it works for you.

    Benjamin, does it happen with a certain artwork only, or with any other set you try?
    Do you have something work form making a mockup at all?
    Can you please share a test file for the team to look at?
    What are your full OS specs? (sometimes these problems can be setup-specific)
    Please tell more, as much as possible.

    Our typical launch numbers on a SSD MBP is around 6-7 seconds hence we would like to understand more about the issue and problem.
    Please get in touch with us at sharewithai@adobe.com or 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.

    Warm Regards,
    Ashutosh Chaturvedi | Sr. Quality Engineering Manager – Illustrator

    So I have ~40 custom plugins.
    Ai on my Intel i7 4470 3.4GHz (with 24GB of RAM) takes from 45 to 60 seconds to launch.
    Then it’s 8 seconds to show New Document legacy (3 second next time) — and modern File New is even more than that.
    And finally 4–7 seconds to actually create a document (and zoom to artboard, which I hate).
    I have now 706 font families installed in the system folder.
    Windows 10. SSD.

    I don’t like this launch time.
    I have an access to M1 Macbook occasionally also, and Ai launches in like a dozen of seconds there.

    Please share your timings.

    Actually, there is a way to do it.
    1. Select the gradient stop
    2. Deselect the art
    3. In Color panel click the circle — 'Gradient Stop Color (click to cancel)'
    4. Click Last color (the arrow button or the square next to it)
    5. Add the selected color to swathes in a traditional way
    Yep, this is a bit long way, but the operation is not very common too, right?
    We can’t have a draggable stop — dragging it down from a slider in the panel removes it, and moving it up... what if my Swatches panel is below of Gradient? Does it mean I should drag it up and then down? will it undo the drag if I cross the panel? :)
    I’d prefer just a context menu on the stop which allow several things.

    No, I do not remember this.
    I checked this in CS6, CS1, and even 10 — none of them allows to access Opacity Mask through a context menu, nor from canvas or Layers (these have no context menu at all, only the flyout one).
    Where did you take it from?

    But I like the idea.

    Hey, Badô, Illustrator already allows this. You don’t have to use the Brush tool only to generated brushed strokes. Just open the Brushes panel and apply any of the predefined or custom made brushes to any path — it does not really matter which tool is used to draw paths, Pen or Pencil or any other.
    Please try and reply back if you have questions.

    You can do this in recent versions of Illustrator.
    Select your text without numbers.
    Open the Paragraph panel.
    Click the Numbered List button.
    That’s it. Do you see the button?

    I'm sure Illustrator must have more artistic controls over the bullet design. An expected solution to this would be allowing to use symbols instead of glyphs. With the scaling controls. The vertical position can be controlled with the baseline shift, and the origin position could perhaps stick to a half of the font's x-height.

    This also goes well with the anchored graphics request, something that InDesign handles well — there is a separate request for that I encourage to vote for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36764746

    Yep, there is a separate request to search artboards:
    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32321188-artboard-search-function

    Automatically selecting an artboard won’t be an universally applicable behavior, I think, because sometimes object can belong to several artboards at once, and Ai does not allow to select several of them on canvas when not in the Artboard mode. I the panel — well, maybe, but it won’t do you no good unless you extend the panel the way you did at the screenshot... since Ai won’t be able to display several positions at once if they don’t fit in the panel when selected simultaneously.

    This free script won’t select artboards specifically, but will zoom into them:
    https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/md/Select.md#named-items-finder
    Does it help in any way?

    Don, it sound like a specific task better suited for scripts.

    Dustin, can you share one of this files with the team?
    Send it to sharewithai@adobe.com, and put a link to this report in the body of it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/46964212
    Also please provide the exact full details on the setup. Drivers, versions, etc.

    I'd prefer History panel :)
    Still, there is a difference between Ai and PS.
    'Move' events get clustered as you say. But move only applies to raster images.
    'Drag path' events, when you move vector shapes in Photoshop get recorded one per transformation, as Ai does.
    It makes sense, actually. While a piece of raster is just dragged, a vector shape can be dragged partially.
    So please vote for the History panel instead: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/filters/new?query=history%20panel

    Well, this is how this particular effect works in Ai, it’s not a specific problem related to the mesh :(

    If you apply the same effect to just an ellipse — you’d get the same exact borders, like the attached image shows.
    The effects detects the edges of the object and adds rim lights.
    It’s not 'lately', it was always like this — I just rechecked it in much older versions to be sure. It does not really change if you apply the effect directly into the fill attribute in Appearance (which is impossible for a mesh anyway).

    But I agree this is not at all how Photoshop does it — it adds no rim lighting (again, rechecked)!
    So the bug report is pretty valid.

    So the workaround we have so far is to apply the filter in Photoshop (meh), or to make an offset copy, larger than the object, apply the effect to a group of both, and then clip it into an outline of the original object — double meh, since it’s tricky to do even with the mighty MeshTormentor.
    Voted.

    Josiah, can you please share this one particular object, moved into a separate file, for the team to investigate?

    Yes, at the moment Object > Repeat > Mirror does not support mesh grids. I have no data on if the team plans to extend the functionality.

    Another solution you can use for now is to apply Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform effect to the mesh or a group of meshes. Then specify a reference point to the right, toggle Reflect X, and set 1 copy. This method works on anything. The only problem with it — it won’t allow you to define a mirror line. Even if you clip the mesh, it will still be based on the bounds of a clipped content, and not the clipping mask, unfortunately (and there is now a request to provide this option: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46960159)

    The workaround to this problem would be making a large enough no-fill-no-stroke object, center to the mirror line and group it with your notebook, and use center reference point for the Transform.

    Jean, please provide some more details on this.
    Define 'very large' here — how large exactly?
    Can you record a short video demonstrating the snapping works wrong?
    Does it happen in all documents as large as a certain size, or in a specific one? In any case — can you share a test file, please? It should be the exact replica of your real doc, just similar enough for the bug to get reproduced.
    So far when I try to create a doc, sized 10000×10000 mm, smart guides work fine for me.
