Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or duplicating using Option drag Shift command. Illustrator v. 29.6.1
Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or when duplicating using Option drag Shift command. I'm surprised that as many updates as we are required to do, that the glitches and bugs are so prevalent than they used to be before constant updating. I'm beginning to think that updating isn't really about making the product better, but to keep folks paying their subscriptions.

Selection tool not working
Why does every Adobe supporter says that is working on the latest version when it does not! We have client work at our end. Fix this ASAP!
Trying to downgrade all the way to 28.7.8.

Threaded text areas display only first lines when Adobe Every-Line composer is used, since 29.6
Issue: two or more threaded text areas no longer render all text inside. The text does still exist (as visible in View > Outline) but it does not render on screen or when exporting / saving out. Whereas text flashes visibility for single text areas with no threading, but does eventually show.
Actions taken: fresh text areas; freshly typed text (not copy-pasted); fresh document with fresh areas and fresh text. All do not render fully. Also ensured text is at the very top with no unseen masks or shapes obscuring. Turning off and on Outline View, bounding box, edges etc.

Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out
Every single time Adobe updates, all my settings and workspaces are completely wiped out. Do you have any idea how much time this wastes?
It’s beyond frustrating — it’s infuriating. And to make things worse, you keep raising prices while sneakily auto-renewing subscriptions without proper notice. This isn’t just bad service — it’s predatory. At this point, your behavior is no different from a scam.1 vote -

Drag and Drop lag
Whenever dragging vector objects in a file, Illustrator lags, the waiting circle appears, and takes several seconds to place the object where I dropped it. Working becomes almost impossible when a simple task such as this takes this long. Illustrator 29.6.1, macOS Sequoia 15.6.

Applying 3D effects crashes Ai, with errors from Geometry3D module
These constant bugs in every update are really infuriating.
When applying 3D effects (e.g., extrude or inflate), Illustrator 2025 v29.6.1 on macOS 14.5 (M4 Pro, 24GB RAM) crashes immediately.
Crash report shows repeated errors from Geometry3D module and abort() called in main thread.Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a shape (e.g., rectangle or text)
2. Apply 3D > Extrude or Inflate
3. Sometimes applying materials also causes crash
4. Illustrator immediately crashes without savingmacOS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.5

buscando lista de impresoras
Al intentar abrir cualquier archivo en Illustrator el programa en lugar de abrir el archivo se queda cargando y dice obteniendo lista de impresoras, carga y vuelve a iniciar la carga, como un bucle.
Al darle click en detener, el programa se bugea y solo me da la opción de cerrarlo.

Apply to All 'quick' action for Dimensions in Properties is slow
Properties has a dedicated quick action for dimension objects, Apply to All (which should be a command instead we can access via top menu, here’s a request — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378)
Pressing this applies the current settings of the current dimension selected to all of these on canvas.
It’s S L O W. Even if I have just a dozen of these in the document, each time I change one, Ai goes numb for 15-20 seconds.

Illustrator reverts all the work done and doesn’t allow to expand
It’s just I'm doing work — and it reverts back to the start of my process and isn’t saving the work I work on as I go.
Also it doesn’t let me expand shapes and sizes.1 vote -
Move/Copy doesn’t remember last used settings
When using Move/Rotate tool multiple times, UI 'remembers' last setting (helpful).
When using Move/Copy tool, it not only doesn't remember previous setting, it seems to randomly create new settings (not helpful).

Illustrator sometimes stops responding when trying to "save as ..." a recovered file
Illustrator stops responding when trying to "save as ..." a recovered file, afterwards one of two things happens. Either the application freezes and can only be shut with task manager, or a text box appears saying the printer driver is not compatible and opens the print menu settings
- Open illustrator, and textbox appears: "Illustrator just recovered from a crash" etc.
- press "ok" to open the document
- Document seems to function normally
- "Save as" (via file or via keyboard shortcut), destination is local on the computer
- Regardless whether it is renamed or not, press "save"

I can't delete or merge swatches.
I have 4 separate issues, all stemming from the swatches panel:
1. I can't select a range of swatches and delete them. I have to select them individually and then delete them. Huge waste of time.
2. Sometimes when I delete a swatch, the thumbnail remains in the panel but changes to the red slash for "no color." I now have multiples of these in my swatches panel (see attachment).
3. Merge swatches simply doesn't work, even if they are both global swatches that I've generated.
4. Using the command "select all unused," and then trying to delete the batch,…1 vote
