Illustrator shows paths with extremely many points incorrect, without showing a warning to user
Sometimes EPS files I want to open in Illustrator contain paths with many many points. When opening in Illustrator no warning is shown, but polygons are not shown correctly as the fill color is disappeared (and the polygon path seems to be broken/not closed anymore). Is the limit 32.000 points? If so: please enlarge this amount OR show a warning when opening a file: now users cannot trust your Illustrator here.

Illustrator do not recognize international keyboards. You may register but it won’t work.

GPU Performance stops working when enabled
Illustrator 21.1.0 (64-bit)
GPU Performance shuts off whenever I open a file. I have to close the file, turn off GPU Performance (yes, turn it OFF in preferences), then turn it ON again, then reopen my file to get it working again. I've been complaining about this for months, and Adobe has ignored my complaints. All updates including drivers have been installed and I've completely removed and reinstalled Illustrator.

Illustrator doesn't find color profile, which are shown in Indesign
Hi everybody,
I installed an eci color profile (pso-coated_v3) on my windows 10 computer (right-mouse-click, then install). In Photoshop CC and Indesign CC everything is fine, so it is installed correctly. But the new profile isn't shown in Illustrator CC.
I reopened Illustrator and also de- and reinstalled it...
Does anybody has got an idea, why the new profile doesn't show in in the color-settings of Illustrator?
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes
Rene2 votesAn installed color profile can be accessed and used like this:
Edit > Color Settings: Working Spaces, CMYK: choose the profile you need.
Then go to Edit > Assign Profile and set it.

Application crash when copy/pasting SVG paths
I have several logos that were created in Inkscape and saved in SVG format that I now need to edit in Illustrator. However even after re-saving them as AI files, any attempt to copy/paste any part of the SVG paths from the logo results in an immediate application crash.

Fehler bei Bildern beim Ändern vom Dokumentfarbmodus RGB <=> CMYK (Bilder gehen kaput)
System: Windows 11 Pro, Illustrator 29.8.1
Ich habe folgendes Problem:
Ab und zu erstelle ich ein Plakat in A3 im CMYK-Modus für den Druck und benötige das identische Layout zusätzlich für eine Stele im RGB-Modus. Bisher konnte ich die Layoutinhalte aus dem CMYK-Dokument einfach kopieren und in ein RGB-Dokument einfügen – das funktionierte problemlos. Seit einiger Zeit jedoch werden die verknüpften Bilder dabei zerstört:- teilweise werden sie komplett schwarz,
- teilweise stark verfärbt,
- teilweise nur in Fragmenten dargestellt.
Manchmal passiert es auch, dass ein schwarzes Bild nach dem Bewegen des Illustrator-Fensters plötzlich wieder sichtbar wird.
Das gleiche Verhalten tritt auf, wenn…

Both Illustrator and Photoshop stop responding while using complex files
The Adobe Software, both Illustrator and Photoshop, stop responding and I can’t really use them properly, while using complex files
1 voteAkshay, the team would need to study those files that makes Illustrator work slowly. Please upload these to a file hosting of your choice (with all the links collected using File > Package) and send the access link to sharewithai@adobe.comm so the team could investigate them.

一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されない
macOS Tahoe 26.0 / Macbook Pro Late 2023
Illustrator 29.8.1添付画像のとおり、一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されません。
他のAdobeアプリ(Photoshop等)では正常に表示されますが、Illustratorだけがダメです。
また、同じフォントでもウエイトによって表示される文字と表示されない文字が混在している様です。さらに、フォントパネル上ではフォント名が表示されていますが「フォントの検索と置換」のドキュメント内のフォント名が文字化けしています。
Illustrator 28.7.9では正常に表示されている様なので、OS依存のバグではなさそうです。

Illustrator crashes when I double-click a text to edit
These are awful. You are awful. The program has closed 10 times. The reason is I don't want to double-click a text and edit it. I can't get it to work. You're screwed for the program. Every time I double-click a text and try to edit something, the program closes. The world's highest-earning software is a worthless software team.

Clipping masks make areas of any objects behind disappear
Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2019 / OS 14.4.1 / Illustrator version 29.8.1
This looks like a new visual bug. There seems to be a problem with the way Illustrator is displaying clipping masks. It has only started happening recently.
The attached image is taken from a file that worked fine before.
The wavy lines are contained inside a clipping mask (the same shape as the blue section). I have included images of the lines outside of the clipping mask (above) and inside the clipping mask (below).
Any separate objects placed behind this clipping mask have a section missing (see black shape…

Stop remembering my last save as file type!!!
I've used Illustrator for decades, and the only file type that a new document should be saved as is an .AI file. For the love of God, please go back to .AI or allow me to choose .AI as my default file type!!!

Please update your Adobe Illustrator and let us know your observations.
