New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on November 02, 2021) follows:

Illustrator v26 is the latest version of Adobe’s drawing and design software. However, it seems that this update brought some issues with it. Also, Adobe Photoshop v23 update is giving headaches to macOS users.

According to user reports, special characters are not working in some languages after upgrading to Adobe Illustrator v26. In addition to the above, the most recent Photoshop v23 is crashing in macOS devices.

Not being able to use special characters in certain languages is being a bit troublesome for some users, according to reports:

I can’t comment on the “č” key. Maybe make a bug report? Or first try and reset the preferences?

But the automatic update can be turned off in the Creative Cloud app in the preferences.

It looks like Adobe developers worked quickly on the issue, and the fix is reportedly implemented in the latest beta version of Adobe Illustrator.

If all goes well, the fix should be massively rolled out very soon in Adobe Illustrator v26.0.1 stable update. It only remains to wait for users to confirm if the bug is really resolved once the new update is available.

Photoshop v23, the latest update to another of Adobe’s most widely used products, reportedly brought some problems for macOS users.

According to user reports, Photoshop v23 is constantly crashing on Apple devices running macOS:

I have less than a year old iMac and haven’t had a PS crash since I got the new iMac. That is until the upgrade to PS 23.0 Now I am crashing about 50% of the time on the transfer from RAW to PS. Is this a known bug? If so, is it going to be patched?
