    Jean, it seems like the text object has Text Wrap applied to it.
    You can remove it with Object > Text Wrap > Release.
    Does it solve the problem?

    What it does? When applied just the text area and only to it — nothing, really. But when used for, say, a shape, it makes the text avoid the shape when they intersect.

    Britta, have you tried to use the Pattern Editing mode in Illustrator for desktop?
    You can initiate it with double-clicking the existing pattern swatch or via Object > Patter > Make command, for a new art.
    The Pattern Options panel will get displayed, with a lot of useful tiling options.

    The workflow which is demonstrated for Affinity Designer in the video here (https://affinityspotlight.com/article/create-repeat-patterns-with-a-live-pattern-preview-in-affinity-designer-for-ipad/), using symbols as a workaround, can also be used, since Illustrator has symbols as well. Alas, the symbols won’t update automatically on canvas, while you edit a symbol in Illustrator, like they do in Affinity. But this can be fixed, if you don’t create symbols at all and use Global Edit to edit your tiled copies instead — Global Edit updates all the similar art as you make changes into one copy.

    Have you tried all of these?

    I won't comment on the similar request for the iPad though — it lacks all of this, sadly.

    Jo, try these two things:
    1. Go to Preferences, General, and Enable 'Use legacy "File New" interface' option. Ai then should use a simpler dialog.
    2. If it works, then try to locate the 'CCX Welcome' folder. It should be located somewhere here: 'C:\Users\<YOUR NAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome' (Mac users should have it at '/Users/<YOUR NAME>/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome'). Delete it. The OS might not give it away that easily, so you’d have to quit Illustrator AND Adobe Creative Cloud App. In my case I had to use an external unlocking app to do that (I used LockHunter).
    Then, when you relaunch Ai, it will rebuild the files anew and some modern UI panels/modes like Home, Properties, and the modern File New might start working.
    Please reply back if anything helps or not.

    Lucas, if you undock the panel and make it free floating — does it help?
    Have you had similar problems with this panel when docked in the previous version?

    I am assuming you refer to the Beta version, is it correct?

    Thanks for the report, Nic. This problem is due to some experimental changes the team made to speed up the rendering. Unfortunately, not without issues so far. Please tell more about you OS and GPU configuration so the team could investigate.

    Atle, but what happens when you do that?
    Ctrl+N should pop a File New dialog — does it appear? Do you use the modern one or the legacy one? Does it help to toggle it (in Preferences > General: Use Legacy "File New" Interface)?
    Are you able to see the home screen when no file is opened?
    Which version are you using?
    Please tell more.

    Matt, am I right thinking you refer to the Properties panel, its Character block and the 'More Options' button with three dots on it?
    If yes — sure you are right. The fact we can’t customize the panel make this 'smart' contextual way to deal with the selection just dumb.
    There are at least two larger requests about the customization of Properties panel:
    1. Allow Customization of The Features In Properties Panel (2018): https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/33343297-allow-customization-of-the-features-in-properties
    2. Option to permanently expand areas of the Properties panel: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32081371-option-to-permanently-expand-areas-of-the-properti
    Do you mind me merging your request into on of them? Which one do you prefer?
    For now what I can offer as a workaround — just close Properties and assemble a stack of real panels — Transform, Character, Paragraph... the old way.

    Dina, it’s close, but not completely the same, as I understand it.
    Imagine this situation: I want to 'drop' a circle into this pit in the shape below.
    Distribute command we have will deal with the boundaries of the objects, not the actual curves.
    And in the end of this GIF animation I show what the real intention is probably behind this request.

    More of it — now both Align and distribute align closest edges: right edge to the right edge in case of Align Right for example. What about aligning to the other side? Like a left edge to the right edge? The second attached GIF demoes the difference. For now to achieve the result in the end you’d have to drag the circle to the left of the square, key the square and use the Distribute horizontal with 0 value, while instead we could have just used Alt + Align Left, for example.

    A script that can do this exists, AlignEx — https://github.com/alexander-ladygin/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/alignEx.jsx
    ...but it can’t work with a key object, since Illustrator does not allow scripts to use it (and there is a request to change that: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45706231)

    And there is a separate request for that: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/43796625-alignment-options-to-outside-top-bottom-left-r

    Thanks for the links.
    The bug is reproducible for me 1/20 times on a Mac, sometimes thrice in a row, sometimes like a twelve blank shots. It does not really matter how I select a field — the way Von does it, with a precise swipe, or clicking a caption. It always happens when a entered number is two-digit, and the bug happens when a second digit is entered. The brush stays applied, and the stroke does not get dropped, it’s only the rendered appearance gets bugged out. It does not matter if the brush is an artistic or the pattern one.
    But while at Mac it happened like after 5 tries, this still does not happen on Windows for me — I can verify this after like 15 more minutes on different ways to trigger it... making a lot of brush strokes does not help. It is strange that Jason was able to catch it.
    I notified the team about this.

    Jason, does not happen to me on Windows with 27.5, no matter what I try. There must me something else to it.
    How exactly do you change the opacity for the lines? On a stroke or an object level? Perhaps some specific brushes? Can you share a test file and a short video?

    Something gone wrong with the updating, corrupting the installation :(
    I’d advise you to completely uninstall it and reinstall again. Have you tried that?

    Andrea, something has gone wrong with the OS integration... Perhaps the best way to approach this would be to uninstall Illustrator and reinstall it back to see if it fixes the paths. Have you tried that?

    Andreas, on the other hand, while these two are definitely connected, they will allow users to approach this topic from two different ends.
    I will post a link to this request there.

    Finally someone asked for it!
    Well, it’s not as easy as it might think. Illustrator’s model does not treat artboards the same way as Figma deals with frames. Artboards are not frames or pages, they are more like viewports. Objects on canvas can belong to many artboards at once, and currently there is now way to have layers IN artboards — while Figma is built with this in mind.
    So this is basically the same request as this one: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/31133392-artboard-specific-layers
    Andreas, do you persoanlly think these two can be merged as a single idea, or are you against it?

    Laura, what do you think about merging this request with another one?
    Convert a Grid Repeat object to a pattern filled rectangle
    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45233863-covert-a-grid-repeat-object-to-a-pattern-filled-re

    ...or maybe this one?

    https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/41686228-allow-repeat-patterns-to-be-added-to-swatches

    At the other hand, this is about the performance of the existing functionality, and not the method...

    You can add repeat objects to Swatches panel... Do you have problems while adding and applying them?
    Or do you mean the iPad version?
