Question

Adobe XD copy/paste gradient from Illustrator bug

 When I want to paste objects with gradient from Illustrator directly to XD, in XD gradient has different color, or solid color. It happend when, in the Illustrator is gradient set to “classic” method. Only when it is switched to “perceptual” method, it is working right, the gradient looks same in both programs.

It is really annoying bug, it didn´t happend in earlier versions of adobe XD and illustrator. It is really frustrating, because actually only solution is in every older file remake the gradient to “perceptual” method…. Please fix this stupid bug, since every new update old things which worked are not working anymore… All adobe apps are full of AI junk, but simple and general functions are bugged. 

 

Thanks
