Warichu’s Adjustment value is limited to an integer in point
Confirmed in Illustrator 30.3.0 and CS4.
It's probably a problem that occurs in all past versions.The "Warichu" using for vertical writing text, under use in Japanese environment.
The adjustment value is set only to integers of points and it is very troubling.
In that state, I can only do a rough job too much.
I would like to improve so that more detailed values can be set.<Japanese>
Illustrator 30.3.0 および 14 (CS4) で確認済み。
おそらく過去のどのバージョンでも発生する問題です。割注設定の行間がPoint整数値ごとにしか設定できない。
これでは大雑把な仕事しかできない。
細かい値を設定できるよう改善して欲しい。また、テキストオブジェクトの拡大・縮小に追従されない。
<検証手順>
1. テキストに割注を設定し、行間をpoint以外の整数などにする
2. 割注設定を再び開いて値を確認する- 割注の行間に目安となる長方形を作成
- テキストと長方形を選択して拡大・縮小
<結果>
2. 値がpoint整数値に四捨五入されている
4. 割注の行間は長方形とずれてゆく<理想とされる結果>
2. 割注の行間は入力した値をキープすること
4. 割注の行間はテキストと同様に拡大・縮小されること6 votes -
Save to cloud dialog: files in folder not visible
The new update(s) does not bring back the feature to view files in the folders and in grid view when saving to cloud. This has been causing a lot of problems and inconvenience. Reported few times and have been told that these will be brought back in the next update, but it never did. Frustrating and annoyed.

An option to choose if the Artboard background color should be exported, for each format, including PNG
When exporting an artboard to PNG, I hope there is an option to follow the background color of the artboard itself. I thought the purpose of the new update is to be able to use that same background color when exporting. I still need to add a shape with the background color that I prefer before exporting.

Focus the Search field in Preferences (introduced in Beta 29.7.0.60) when the dialog gets opened, and focus the found and highlighted option
Search in Preferences, originally requested here (http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/42476344) is a welcome feature! However, it works not as it should be, as shown in the GIF attached.
- The field should get immediately focused instead of Keyboard Increment field, so we can start searching right away after calling the dialog with Cmd/Ctrk+K
- When it finds an option that can be toggled (a checkmark) or focused (a field) — it should focus it, so we can toggle it with s Space or type a new value This makes the whole experience mouse-free for those who are in a hurry (and we are).…
9 votesThis change broke the existing method to quickly access the Keyboard Increment value, reported here. The team decided to revert this change until a better solution is found. Please watch this space for further news.

Please bring back the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026
My team uses the Adobe cloud to store and share files across the team. Looking up for older files shared is now very inconvenient as the search function for "Shared with you" files in Adobe Illustrator 2026 has been removed.
Please bring it back.

Thumbnails in Layers always show full previews even when outline mode for the layer is toggled
This is relatively new within recent Ai upgrades.
Can we please revert back to preview mode ONLY for layer thumbnails regardless of how we view the layer on the artboard. This was changed recently. Why? If you choose to make changes like this, please make it an optional preference, as long time users probably don't like these changes.

線の塗りを設定しているオブジェクトがマスクされてしまう
macOS14.7.2
Illustrator29以降にアップデートしてから現れたバグです。（現在29.2.1）線の塗りを有効にしているオブジェクトを下位バージョンへコピー＆ペーストするとマスクされた状態になってしまいます。マスクを解除すれば戻りますが、オブジェクトが複数あるものはグループが解除されてしまいます。

Korean text can't wrap cleanly at syllable boundaries
In InDesign, Korean text can wrap cleanly at syllable boundaries, but in Illustrator and Photoshop it still can’t. We’re simply asking for the same “syllable‑by‑syllable” line‑break option that InDesign already has. Who on earth wants to type Korean like “인‑디‑자‑인‑처‑럼,” with every syllable forced onto its own line? We just need consistent letter‑spacing and neat line breaks.
Korean users have been requesting this for more than ten years. Adobe, please—could you finally make it happen?

Dimension tool style presets
The dimension tool gives alot of style options for the arrow size, line thickness, offsets, etc. It would be great to save presets that could be switched from a dropdown list in the dimension tool options dialog.

Thanks for logging the request anyway. Upvote it still if you find it useful.

Calculate surface area with Dimension tool
With the last update, you brought the possibility of customizing the scale in the dimension tools, thank you for that. Would it be possible to obtain a new tool for calculating the surface area in m², by selecting any closed shape?

Japanese characters in Japanese fonts are misaligned in Vertical Text Alignment
Starting with v24.3, vertical text alignment is now available. This is a great feature we have been waiting for. However, characters in Japanese fonts are misaligned at the center and bottom, as shown in Figure-1.
This is probably due to the fact that the bottom edge of the character is used as the baseline.Maybe we need The Last Baseline option.It's a tough road. But the Illustrator team can make it happen, I am sure of it.
Japanese:
v24.3より、垂直方向のテキスト配置が利用できるようになりました。これは待ち望んでいた素晴らしい機能です。しかし、日本語フォントの文字は、Figure-1に示すように、中央揃えと下揃えの位置がずれてしまいます。
これは、文字の下端をベースラインとしていることが原因と思われます。末尾ベースラインオプションが必要かもしれません。大変な道のりです。しかし、Illustratorチームはそれを実現できる、私はそう確信しています。46 votes -
英数字に対する和欧文間のアキの基準が欧文の前後で異なる（バージョン不問）
例えば、「第1章」という文字列に対して、数字だけを大きくしたとします。
この際に和欧文間隔は当然適用されるのですが、その（アキの）基準が数字の前後で異なってしまいます。
添付画像をご覧になれば一目瞭然ですが…数字の前は数字の文字サイズを基準にしており、数字の後は後続の文字が基準になっています。
普通のアルファベットの場合は、前後とも直前と直後の文字が基準になっているのは画像の右でお判りいただけるでしょう。
これはずーーーーっと改善されておりませんので、是非ともアルファベット同様な挙動になるように改善をお願いいたします。17 votesIllustrator 製品フィードバックへのご協力ありがとうございます。
ご報告いただきました現象につきまして、再現を確認いたしました。
今後、調査などを行ってまいります。
情報アップデートがありましたら、こちらでご報告いたします。よろしくお願いいたします。

Curve length, area, perimeter measurements for Dimension tool
We need a way to measure the length of a line regardless of shape, but at minimum we need a way to measure a basic curved line. It would be especially helpful if we could use the measure tool or some time-saving variant to tell if a curve has the desired length. While we can do a workaround now using the Document Info panel, having to isolate lines in order to do so can get really cumbersome and tedious.

Remember last used SVG / SVGZ save and export settings (Responsive and others)
We often need SVG and SVGZ that are NOT responsive to the web area (we need to control the viewable font size for psychometrics purposes).
Illustrator default switches to Responsive being checked after every Illustrator restart. It would be great if every time I restart Illustrator the check box for "Responsive" remembered that I want it UNchecked (our workaround is to create a new SVGZ file immediately after every restart and uncheck the Responsive box, and if we don't remember to do that task our work must be tediously re-exported).

Support SVG text-anchor styling on import/export
I often copy SVGs that I created with JavaScript (through D3.js) from a browser into Illustrator to continue working on it there. However, the text-anchor setting (left, middle or right aligned) does not come through and it is always left aligned, although the position might seem like it is middle or right aligned. Once you choose a different font or font-size, the mismatch between the original text align and what Illustrator has made of it becomes very apparent and can be quite the chore to adjust.
It would be great if Illustrator would properly handle the text-anchor style setting of…

Area and perimeter information on every selected object
Area and perimeter information on every selected object.
It was available on CS3 version for exemple and it was very helpful for us architects.
The window was called CAD tracker and the geometry part was super practical.

SVG import/export destroys details for SVG-files generated by Inkscape
Whenever I open a SVG-file in Illustrator that was generated by Inkscape, very frequently details are destroyed. A message appears stating that "round-way to tiny" may have exactly done this.
This bug makes it impossible to collaboratively work on figures with colleagues that do not use Illustrator, but Inkscape instead.I am using Illustrator CC 22.1.
