    The team decided to revert the current look of the active artboard border (2 px black) to the way it used to look previously (1 px black) — many found it to be distracting.

    This change will affect General, Beta, and Prerelease builds. No update is required, this flag will be toggled automatically, presumably in few hours.

    The change is not final, and the team is considering making it better.

    Watch this place for updates on the development.

    This should not have been a universal change - this should have been implemented as an option from the start. It's not only wildly annoying - it also just made it more challenging to design with precision around the edge of the format (the artboard).

    To add insult to annoyance, you've put the onus on designers - YOUR PAYING CLIENTS - to tell you how to correct your "improvement" - when it wasn't broken in the first place (for the majority of users). So you've just wasted my time, as well as the time of hundreds of other designers who care enough to provide feedback. And most are saying pretty much the same thing. One more reason to explore other design platforms...

    Your recent addition of a thick black border to artboards is not only annoying, it's distracting. And giving the user no way to disable it - well, it's the design equivalent of forcing everyone to watch a movie with captions permanently on. It's that grating. I get that you are trying to add an accessibility feature - but one person's accessibility tool, is another's clunky distraction.

    "Upgrades" like this are why people are flocking to other options like Figma.

    And speaking of accessibility - this webpage is displaying 12pt font! Holy **** Adobe... you need to move into this millennium.
