Question
Illustrator CC 2017 Bugs I have found so far
- Lines no longer have bounding boxes using the black selection tool. You must use the free transform tool unless you zoom in really closely.
- It is harder to change colors. The CMYK values don’t show up readily.
- The clean print preview from CS6 is not default. One must hit CTRL+E to set the best preview. This a waste of time.
- If you outline a stroke, you cannot assume that the two bottom points are at the same y-axis value.
- The Character Width option was moved to the right to match Photoshop’s Character tool-set.
- The Character panel pull down menus bleed into other panels as yu click them. Thus, when you click a pull down option, you click into the panel beneath it, too.
- CC AI loses fonts randomly. You must close AI and restart it. Again, this wastes time.
- When I print to a saved postscript file, AI can’t remember where the file to be printed is located. The user must refind the location every time.
- Some of the line action and object movement actions created in CS6 will not work in CC.
- Dashed line actions and object movement actions don’t work in general in AI CC 2017.
- AI CC 2017 becomes flaky (problems selecting and setting transform panel options) and to fix this, you must close AI CC 2017 and reopen it. this wastes time.
- I'm using Windows 10 while having these issues. If I switch from an app and then switch back into AI CC 2017, I must click anywhere in the app to get it to respond and then work as normal. This issue is a Win10 issue, but the others are not as best as I know.
