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.

I've been trying to make one of those Inspirational Vector Political Posters but to do it I need make a pattern and drag it into the swatch palete for later use. Making the pattern isn't the problem, it's trying move into the swatche palette is what's causing me trouble. I can move the components individually but whenever I select them as a group the new swatch icon become unavailable. What do I have to do keep the new swatch icon available? I'm using CS3 btw.

Hi,

I have an object with a pattern fill that I want to us to create a new pattern swatch.... I am working on design for some fabric... I have created, for example a table with a tablecloth and have used a check pattern (that I created) on the tablecloth. I now want to use the table and tablecloth as an object in a repeated pattern as a fill in a larger object... Illustrator won't allow me... it just says "Patterns can not contain anything painted with a pattern"

Any ideas for a work around?
