An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, I agree. I learned to make an actual click to focus the artboard, but I’d prefer not to.
However, I always remember things like this should come only as an option, because workflows differ, and there are certainly many users who would like the way it works today (and even if we can’t comprehend why).There are at least two related requests:
1. Make an option to disable auto-selection of artboards, when clicked inside — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/36489226 (23 votes currently)
2. Artboard instant activation by mouse hover — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48810737 (just two votes)...and why not mention this bug:
Dragging a new guide from a rule activates the artboard behind the ruler

An error occurred while saving the comment Beth, do you mean the text cursor when editing text, the I-beam? Or a selection of text? Or a tool cursor (if so, for which tool)?
Can you share screenshots, please? A video? -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is an existing request about certain UI elements being smaller than others on HiDPI displays and with non-100% OS scaling. This happens only on Windows and because this specific menu uses captions in it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/36951433
Effect Gallery is too small as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31048258As for the Font Browser trying to pop upwards... This most probably happens because your display at the bottom doesn’t have enough space to fit the standard height of the dropdown below the field, and it has to be opened up.
Same happens with panel’s menus, context menu, any menu. Since Windows sees these too as a shared display space, Ai can’t tell if it the seam would obstruct using it.
But I believe this is something that could been done... UpvotingAdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment John, do you mean Object > Repeat > Mirror specifically, or is it something else?
If so — imagine the engineers don’t actually use either Procreate and Clip Studio Paint as we do — can you describe which specific aspects of their mirroring you like?
Please record some videos, if needed, add details, explain the difference. 'Do like those' is not that convincing like as 'do like this, because' :) -

An error occurred while saving the comment Justin, indeed. Pattern Options is one panel that is bound to a specific mode. It gets automatically opened when you try to edit a pattern (a double-clicn on a pattern swatch is a faster way to enter editing)... and gets closed automatically when one exits the mode — and docking it won’t make it stick (and it’s actually controversial if it should do it when docked). I think there could be a separate option to pin it... or unpin.
Giving the fact you don’t need to have it opened at all before editing a pattern — do you still see it as a bug that breaks the workflow? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Am I right this happens in both GPU and CPU preview? Does it stay when you deselect objects?

An error occurred while saving the comment Jim, I have a strong suspicion that at some point in the process you accidentally dragged a Swatch Info Object to Swatches. This would result in creating this pattern. Once applied to it, this gives the same exact effect.
I can’t say for sure this is what had happened, but the team confirms this isn’t something Ai does during the normal Swatch Info creation process.
Thanks for reporting this anyway — this was fun and bizarre! :)
Let’s hope nobody encounters this anymore. -

An error occurred while saving the comment It seems like UserVoice blocked the attachment (and tried to mark the comment as spam...)
Sadly I can’t do anything with it :( If possible, please upload these to a file hosting of your choice and share a link.As for the Extensis Connect — I see... There has been a fresh report about it, here: Illustrator 29.8.1 stopped working with Extensis Connect. Activated fonts don't show up — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50510034
Does it look similar to your problem?An error occurred while saving the comment Andreas, can you please share a simple test file and a video clearly showing the hyphenation staying non-updated when a font is reloaded?
You mention a plugin — which one is it? Have you contacted the plugin developer? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Some of these things were requested separately:
— Search for tools by name when editing the toolbar — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44363298 — the one you created (it mentions the 'full height' as well)
— Drag tools from one toolbar to another — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45689491I don’t think creating one more combined request would help... combined lists tend to get less attention, from both users and the team, since it’s harder to prioritize them. Please request / report one thing a a time.
As for the 'make it possible to activate tools' in Edit Toolbar dropdown... well, if a tool is NOT in the current panel (or hidden within a group), it GETS activated by a click actually... it’s just it happens after we close the dropdown (Escape does it fast), and only then the tool icon gets pressed... but if the tool is there, we only get it highlighted with a blue frame, but not picked. I agree it should be picked as well, and before the dropdown gets closed!

An error occurred while saving the comment Stephanie, this is odd...
What you describe and show is what can be called 'soft isolation lock', and this is what Affinity Designer has.. and something Ai just never had (except for the point selection of curves, where selecting a curve below would ensure the tool would prefer it instead of the one above — see the GIF attached)... it was broken recently, but fixed in 29.5.1 — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49702187But other than this... there are existing requests here at UserVoice about having it like this:
1. A hotkey or a mode to prioritize selected objects — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32614096
2. Add an option to constrain Illustrator to only move the selected object — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49161260So isolating an object to move was always the only option for Ai.
Take a look at two more GIFs to see the difference (notice also in Ai you have to click either the selection marker or the target marker to have an object selected on canvas).If you are dead sure it was a thing Ai could have done in past (oh, I wish) — please find any details on this, proofs, mentions...
I use isolation a lot, and I have a hotkey assigned to enter the mode, so I am sure — the only way to move an object the way you need now is to pick Direct Selection and try to move the object by the edge or point rather than fill.
Please comment back. -

An error occurred while saving the comment There are workarounds (including using plugins by Astute Graphics, native Transform effect, dummy elements) — take a look at the GIFs attached — but I’d prefer a native way.

Reported as fully fixed in general 29.8 build.
If it’s still broken for you — please comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Mark, this issue was resolved in version 29.8, as mentioned in this bug report’s status:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50255313
What version are you using?With the focus now reverted back, is there any other reason to disable the Search field at al for you?

An error occurred while saving the comment This feature was requested by users, here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50114196 (coming from 2021)
Originally, when introduced in 29.7.0.60, the field was not focused by default — and one of the reasons behind that was the legacy access to Keyboard Increment.
However, Search is focused by default everywhere it exists in various Settings and Preferences: Inkscape, Affinity Designer. Figma (for Quick Actions, with most settings exposed)... Non-graphics apps has it like this too: Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs... Windows’ Settings, Mac’s System Preferences. Adobe is late to the party, and this usually interferes with existing workflows, when finally gets addressed (in both sides).
Another request got made (by me): http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/50114175 — and implemented in the next build (a found field / option doesn’t get focused still though).Pressing Tab four times is not good indeed — especially when this needs to be customized that often. Windows allows to use accessibility keys, and Alt+K focuses Keyboard Increment. MacOS, as far as I know, has nothing like this to offer...
I am informing the team about this. -

An error occurred while saving the comment John, there is an existing report about recent problems with changing colors:
Object appearance defaults when selecting new colors (white fill, black stroke)
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50417097Is this what you mean by 'changing incorrectly when I select a swatch color'?
An while the problem with alternate UI still exist (thanks to the Generate Pattern button!), the other one, with a stroke changing the the fill’s color was resolved — are you sure you are still having it?

An error occurred while saving the comment I wish I could tell 'hey, use Recolor for this' — but no, Recolor can’s use a threshold to sieve the values. At least I I failed to use it like this :D
But I know a method you can use to do it.
1. Group your artwork
2. Use Edit > Edit Colors > Convert to Grayscale
3. Copy and Paste in Front this group
4. Change the blending mode of the copy to Color Burn
5. Paste another copy and change its mode to Color Dodge
6. In CMYK it’s usually enough, but in RGB document you’d need to make two more copies of these duplicates
7. Now it should look B/W only. Select all the groups and call Object > Flatten Transparency dialog
8. Make Raster/Vector balance into 100, choose Preserve Alpha Transparency, hit OK
It should flatten it all into pure black and white only shapes
It can be automated partially, so I hope it helps.
And sure, it should be a thing from the box, I think. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Haven’t heard about it yet...
Ralf, can you please also share a screenshot (or the actual saved CSF file) of your Color Settings.
Having the original files you used in this test would also be helpful for the team. These would be quite heavy to attach these in a comment, I believe... please either upload these at a hosting of your choice and share a link, or try to send directly to sharewithai@adobe.com (in this case please mention the link to this report, for backtracking, — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50499105)
A request to have a similar thing at desktop:
