    The team again asks for help with this issue, since there are not specific steps they can try to reproduce it — the nature of the bug is random.

    1. Open Task Manager

    2. In Details tab, locate 'Illustrator.exe'

    3. Right click it and choose 'Create dump file'

    4. Wait until the dumping process is complete and click 'Open file location' button

    5. Find 'Illustrator.dmp' (sorting files by date helps) and compress it with any archiving utility

    This will help provide necessary clues to locate the source of the problem. If you are a Mac user —…

    Egor that's a great tip, I love the Astute tools but hadn't used Vector First Aid. Thanks for commenting!

    You can reliably replicate this issue by putting three objects into a group with a larger object, creating a clip group with that larger object, then (using direct select) deleting the clip group mask, turning it into a normal group. The resulting group will no longer respond to alignment commands correctly - often spreading apart rather than center aligning.

    I recognize the intended workflow is to release clipping mask in the layers panel, but in a complex document (especially while working with graphics placed from CC Library), it's much faster to delete the box around the clip group than to find the group in the layers panel.

    I've seen this problem reported elsewhere, with fewer details included. Either this is a bug, or I'm requesting a feature–a more streamlined way to break clip groups.

    Screenshots are labeled in order.

    I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 25.4.1 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!

    I agree with Mark - this still happening in 25.2.3

    I've downloaded the Log Collector Tool and will run it next time the problem shows up. Fwiw, I've found that it happens after returning to Illustrator after it's been open for a day or longer.

    Context: Macbook Pro 2015 plugged into external displays. I bring the laptop home with me from work, and oftentimes when I return in the morning, this bug is happening.

    Workaround: Restarting illustrator always solves the issue. It's just a pain.

    Not a UI designer. But hopefully this clears up what I was mentioning.

  15. Keyboard shortcuts for Align/Distribute commands and 'Align to' modes

    The most recent version finally has the Object > Distribute menu added.

    Now both Align and Distribute commands can be accessed via menu and have assigned keyboards shortcuts to them.


    The order of the commands though seemingly matches the one the panel has: horizontal first for Align and vertical first for Distribute. If you find this odd and want to change it — vote here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/45855823-sync-the-order-of-align-and-distribute-menu-comman


    Also, Align To and Distribute Spacing commands are still missing in top menus, so please keep voting here to make them added too.

    The team has encountered several issues with this feature. It requires them to change the basic algorithms and it is going to take them more time than anticipated.

    While it still works in Beta 28.8.0.7, the next Beta build will have Inside/Outside aligned strokes for open paths disabled. The Beta is scheduled to be live on 7th of August.

    Once this is ready to be enabled back, the team will update the status.

    Agreed. It could use the same "inside" and "outside" stroke toggles. But on an open path, those could even be arbitrarily applied as left of path and right of path. Virgil's workaround suggestion is fine, but is inaccurate with scaling, either built as an art brush or pattern brush. I.e. when a 1pt "lopsided" stroke is made, it's applied a bit closer to 2pt width.
