    Still, it is a bug, so thanks for reporting it!

    The problem is about duplicate objects on top with black strokes with 0 weight. Why do you have these in the first place?
    GPU can’t handle these well, and it’s a known bug, similar to this one: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/43532958-jagged-artefacts-on-edges-of-objects-with-gradient
    Try either of these:
    — Remove duplicate objects
    — Remove black stroke from these objects
    — Increase the weight
    — You can also switch to CPU mode, but it will just hide the problem

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.3.1 which is available worldwide now.

    Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

    Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

    Good questions, Philip and Paul. I am really glad you asked them.

    Despite having an Admin badge, I am a user, just like you. I have my own job, real tasks to design, limited time and the desire to make Ai a better tool, because I spend up to 10 hours in it every day, for a majority of my life.

    We are biased. There are many combinations of OSs, drivers, GPUs, builds, plugins, settings... and Illustrator is a complex program. Tests and QA staff do catch bugs, but some slip through. The truth is developers don’t know about bugs caught by users until they are reported. Yes, most of the time they don't get reproduced for them.

    I am not an Adobe staff member, although I can contact Adobe staff — so everyone else can do. Email, Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, you choose.
    I am just what the badge says — an administrator here, at UserVoice.

    My tone can seem harsh, that’s true.
    Aren’t you angry because this shit isn’t fixed yet? I am.
    This particular bug — I don’t have it. I am on Windows. But I just see how different people report the same issue using different words and phrasing. I know the pain.
    I sew these reports together into a larger one, I try to bring attention from the team, I request help from everybody else — because I want to help and expect the same from everybody else. When it’s fixed — then it’s enough, for me.

    NFTs suck — yep, this is my private POV. Protect your work, as Paul says.
    If you are bound by NDA — sure, don’t upload anything.
    But the bug is generic enough to build a simple test file in small time or strip the important parts from the real project and share it. That’s what some users here did — thanks — and yes, the problem really turned out to be Mac-specific.
    Will it help to solve this? I don’t know. I hope so.

    There are ways to share a project privately, by using sharewithai@adobe.com email, and I forgot to include it in the status update.

    And thank you so much for being open about this. This ship has holes all over it, and we don’t talk about this nearly as much as we should.

    Radu, which one? You forgot to attach an image or at least give a description. What is broken exactly?

    This is a GPU rendering issue, Ralitsa. Try to disable GPU rendering for now.

    GPU issue. Please send the file and your GPU specs to sharewithai@adobe.com
    For now you can switch it off and work in CPU mode.

    As a workaround, try to disable GPU Preview

    If you have the file saved (or you can reproduce the behavior), please send it over sharewithai@adobe.com with 'GPU issue' topic, to help the team to investigate it.

    This is a GPU bug. If you toggle the rendering mode with View > View using CPU — no border will get rendered, the PNG actually does not have it. The problem is known though.

    Denis, I know what you referring to, but I believe it is a completely different problem, but with a matching description. Thomas clearly refers to the GPU artifact for placed PNGs, and you refer to the actually generated and baked artifacts in the PNGs, generated with scale factor other than 100% in Save for Web (and sometimes with 100% also).
    Can you please log it as a separate report?

    Constantine, there are a lot of tutorials on web with detailed instructions on using scripts. Yep, Ai lacks finesse in dealing with this, but the general method is to put them into the designated folder and later call them via File > Scripts menu (need relaunching Ai to make it see them after being placed). You can also record calling scripts in actions.

    There is another way to do it.
    Instead of using the Reflect tool, try to record the Flip Horizontally command from the Transform panel’s flyout menu.
    Notice that it does support the reference point from the panel, so you can make the artwork get reflected from the right side instantly, without dealing with the width of the art. To quickly set the reference point to the side you want, you can install and record running this script into the action: https://onthehead.com/ais/preference006/ (use 3flab-transfrom_point_setting_5_center_right.jsx)
    So your action will have just 4 steps: duplicate in two steps (your way or copy/paste), setting a reference point, flipping.
    Ai will throw a warning on running an external script, though. To get rid of it, make it run a JSX script with this singe line of code:
    app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", 0);
    This will disable showing this message for all external scripts.
    Does this solve this for you? Please write back when you try the solution.

    Elissa, sorry, but what do you mean with 'print box'?
    I suppose it’s some kind of layer, specific to this particular template or a vendor-specific practice. In this case Illustrator knows nothing about the original intention of some layers been hidden or tweaked, so obviously can’t message you anything.
    Can you please elaborate more on this? Perhaps some screenshots at least?

    Carson, how do you think Pencil (not Pen), a freeform drawing tool, should snap to the grid? It doesn’t snap to it on desktop, and it is ...normal. Pen though should snap. Perhaps you meant Pen?

    The latest Beta build 29.6.107 now uses the original solid color as a starting gradient color, instead of white, when switching to gradient.

    You can still assign the default white-to-black gradient by clicking the gradient chip in the Gradient panel or a toolbar while holding Cmd/Ctrl.

    Try it out and let share your feedback.

    Gradiator, a paid plugin from Astute Graphics, has 'Flat Color to Gradient' option, which allows different conversions. But surely it just should be available form the box — as an option.

    There is a bunch of scripts for this, but having this option natively is very appealing.

    I have a workaround scripts to help automate gradient creation from a flat color and back to flat from chosen gradient stop, but it requires AHK and Windows. Message me, if you want to try.

    Phil, disallowing to have duplicate names and protecting system swatches are two different things, as I see it. Do you have any reasoning for disallowing general duplicates for anything else, except for Black, White, and [Registration] (which is protected)? Please share.
    Also — were these Black duplicates global? What routine do you have to deal with Black for the job — just curious. What changes did you make in the process to make this error impossible in the future form your side?

    This is extremely weird.
    I occasionally have the dialog ignoring my values, but only once, and rare enough to ignore it. But you say it does this all the time for you?

    Marthe, this is bizzare :( It feels that like for some reason the type objects loose their coordinates and get reset to 0,0.
    Most likely the team would need the file to test — can you please share a copy of it? Here publicly, if you are allowed, or privately, via sharewithai@adobe.com — in this case, please specify the link to this page for tracking purposes (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46429945).

    There is a larger request about it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32532658
    It does not mention the color values, but feels relevant enough.
    For some having these decimal spaced is crucial. For some — irritating. And for some — the current approach is the only way to get both at the same time :)
    So I don’t really see a clear way to solve this. A way to customize decimal spaces is nice, but then it will require to have both the panel and the dialog to be mentioned, to maintain the current way it works... anyway, thanks for noticing and reporting.

    The problem got 'solved' by unplugging a Dell monitor connected to MacBook Pro. Changing the resolution also helps.

    However, this is not a true solution, but a workaround. If you have this issue too — please vote and comment.

    Yes, you can send the file over to sharewithai@adobe.com — the team reads it all the time, but I personally doubt this can help, since you both say it’s not file-specific... correct?
    Again, you were not able to verify if disabling the second monitor change anything. The bug is rare enough, and limiting it at your side can be very helpful for the team. Try to work with your MacBook only and unplug temporarily your Apple Studio Display.

    I wonder what changes if the tool gets reassigned to, say, Shift+N instead? Will the error still pop up? This would allow to see if the tool is somehow faulty, or rather the hotkey N itself.
    But I can see this is not comfortable at all, so it’s just an idea I’d personally test...

    Does now happen for me at all on Windows though.
    Do you have a chance to confirm that?
