Being that I started the thread about the export as bug, I am totally on board with this. Regardless of the reasons why it should not work, or what causes it to work, it worked, and made useable files that were considerably smaller. Its not useful for only web pages, we use it in Mobile games were file size is crucial and the smaller I can make file sizes the more creative I can get with in game art.

I am trying to put this BG layer behind these text layers...the BG layer is masking off the text layers...but its behind all of them and there are no masks in the file? Latest drivers, with or without GPU? The bottom image is the same with the BG moved down. Why is it masking these layers?

Sure I can do that, but this is not a place I want to post my company .psd files. can I send them to you through another method?

No artboards in use. I have done hundreds of these files. they have never been over 200K .png's They are used in a mobile game and never had an issue. The Save as makes them enormous with no explanation. So looks like export as is still the ONLY option...but over 400 k now. The bug you "fixed" should have just been called a "feature" imo. What is the difference between save a copy .png "smallest file size" and export as png 24 bit with transparency (so honestly 32 bit) that would cause the file to bloat from around 500k (expotrt as) to 38Meg (save a copy .png)? same file, should be the same (or close) compression after all they are both .pngs created from the same .psd. Plese explain?

I understand all of that, i just thought you had some compression going on in the export as option that was reducing the file size (which is what i wanted) as you can see the file size is CONSIDERABLY smaller when using the "smaller file size option" yet still gives me useable transparency results. I'm not here to discuss RGB vs. index I do understand that and agree with you (i assumed that the box meant 8 bit AND/OR smaller file size because it never made an index file), what I want is a reduced size on disk rgb file which I used to get with the previous version. Can you tell me a way to achieve the same smaller file size with the latest version of Photoshop? I'm all for learning a new way to do things.

hard to buy that explanation...here is the result of one of my actual files...both exported in 23.1 one in 8-bit and they both look perfect ( the 8-bit does show some pixelation but not in the transparency) so what is reducing the file size yet keeping the transparency?

It hads happened a couple of times with different files. IT seems to have something to do with adding multiple fills to shapes with offset path and transform fxs applied. Sent the file to someone else (on a MAC) and they experienced the same error. I turned off using my GPU and the error went away.

Keep getting this error when working on a small illustrator logo. I use the apperance palette and have multiple fills and strokes with multiple transforms and offsets...but nothing heavy. I am on a HP Omen laptop with an i9 and Geforce RTX2080 with a Wacom tablet and 2 external monitors (one is a cintiq). I have 32 GB of ram and only illustrator and slack running. I have over 1 tb free on both my c and d drives and restarted and all my apps and drivers are up to date. I see this was a problem back in 2018...but nothing recent. It occurs when i try to move points on the shape.
Also once this happens it take quite a few minutes to close that window, hitting ok does nothing.

I was trying to not select the clipping path and just the line inside it...what i got was quite a lot of locked layers being selected and copied.

I am sure this is a bug, but not sure why I am the only one that seems to be experiencing it. I have layers locked and when I select with the lasso, you can see the one sub layer I selected highlighted. Then I copy and paste...and why did it copy and and paste at least 9 other layers? things I never selected. Makes it difficult to work in AI now. Anyone else see this behavior? Windows 10, Wacom, and Nvidia RTX2080 all drivers updated. Adobe?

Yes I still have the problem, easy to reproduce by; Create new document, Draw two overlapping rectangles, then a third around those two Group the overlapping rectangles, and set the 3rd larger rectangle as clipping mask. Lock clipping mask and one rectangle Use Select tool (black arrow) to select and move or distort all (nothing locked) See video attached https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/493722c3-0c38-4fe8-57ee-c1b7581a16d0

no it wont lock either way, can you reproduce the problem? im trying to select on the art board not through the layers palette. The bug appeared when i was trying to select only one group of objects withing 100's of sublayers, after painstakingingly locking each sub layer i tried to move the one unlocked layer and everything moved. I can only move it with arrows not with the pen, pen will select all layers locked or unlocked.

The selection tool now selects locked layers? Is this a problem with only my systems, or have i never tried this before?? MAke two boxes, make a clipping mask, lock one box and the clipping mask and attempt to select the unlocked box with the selection tool...all the layers are selected and can be moved. Why? Reported to Adobe last week with no response.

If your final output will be a raster image (.jpg, .png, etc.) You should have Make Pixel Perfect selected under the object drop down menu.

Having reent trouple with illustrator. When I lock some layers and ettempt to select a layer on the art board either i can't select the object or i select the clipping mask and other objects. I am using on Windows, wacom tablet and all updates have been run. as you can see i was able to select all the layers (even the locked ones) and distort. you can see select an unlock is off (altough it does the same thing with it on) and if i select in the layer palette it works as expected this is a sample file...in a file with huindreds of layers this is making it impossible to work. Please help.

I admit I never really needed to use Bridge for most of my career. But now I do and when i try to see the 100's of stock images i have I am limited to seeing only the first bit of them, why because I have no scroll bar?
and no matter what view i use I have no scroll bar.
Checked preferences for a setting but no luck. This can't be right. Searched the forum and the web and found others with this problem but no fixes.
Windows 10 64 Bit
Bridge 10.0.3.138
Nvidia RTX 2080 on HP Omen i9 Laptop
Any ideas?
TIA

First I had the font scrollbar issue..now this weird anomaly These are two side by side menus on the same monitor (second) and the font on the effects menu is much larger? I am running the latest illustrator on windows 10 on a fresh install on a surface 2. Geforce GTX1060 Laptop res. 3240x2160 Dell monitor res 3440x1440 both the recommend resolutions. More of a bug than a problem. {Renamed by MOD}

Illustrator version 23.0.3 It has always been this way, both on my old laptop and my new one which is a surface 2 I was hoping getting a new laptop with an approved video card would fix the issue. It did not I have reset the preferences and it did not help EDITED: I am running the latest illustrator on windows 10 on a fresh install on a surface 2. Geforce GTX1060 Laptop res. 3240x2160 Dell monitor res 3440x1440 both the recommend resolutions. Thank you, Chris Noll

If i click on the drop down list for font selection, it works the first time...but the second time i get this there is no way to scroll through the font list? it should look like this; I thought it was because my previous PC had an unapproved video card, so i updated to the latest Surface Laptop 2 with a GTX1060 Video card. I believe this is a bug, does anyone see this? LVC {Renamed by MOD}
