White looks gray in Overprint Preview
The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.
Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File
While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.
The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.
I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including…

Embedded Grayscale Image Inverts When Unembedded from Illustrator 29.8.1 and Opened in Photoshop
I’m encountering a consistent issue with Adobe Illustrator version 29.8.1 on Windows 10 (64-bit) involving grayscale images.
When I unembed a grayscale image from an Illustrator file and open it in Photoshop, the image appears inverted (as a negative — colors reversed). This only occurs when the embedded image is in grayscale mode. Color images do not seem to exhibit this problem.
This behavior did not occur in previous versions of Illustrator and seems to be specific to version 29.8.1.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open an Illustrator file (v29.8.1) with an embedded grayscale image.
Unembed the image.
Open the resulting file…

Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes
When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.
Steps to recreate:
turn off real-time drawing & editing
select random fill color
select shape tool
draw shapeexpected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
actual result: filled shape is seen during drawingI tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).
There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline…

Can’t edit colors in a selection
When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

The blue "new feature" dot on the Pencil tool isn't going away in a secondary toolbar.
I have a tiny little toolbar that is nothing but the Draw Above/Below/Inside indicator and the current tool. It'd just be the Draw Location widget but apparently you have to show the current tool in every toolbar. A lot of the time I work with the main toolbar off and just this up.
Switching to another tool and back doesn't clear the blue dot, even though I've checked the Pencil's settings and seen the new options, and the dot's vanished from the main toolbar.
The blue dot does go away if I close and restart Illustrator so it's not like…
