  1. Properties panel doesn't show any settings

    Using Illustrator 29.4 with macOS 15.3, the Properties panel doesn't show anything anymore but the "Quick selections" text (might not be the right term as my software is in French)

  3. Illustrator not working

    When I open Illustrator the processor dramatically slows down, to the point I can't have anything else open. Photoshop, on the other hand, works fine. When I try to move my mouse in Illustrator it takes ages, the screen starts flickering when I click on something for a few minutes before I click something else and it happens again. Sometimes it crashes. I updated Illustrator last week to the newest version, then uninstalled it because I blamed the problem on the update, but version 29.4 works just as bad. It all happened suddenly, the drivers are updated and I have…

  4. Creative Cloud Fonts wont sync.

    The fonts already installed via Creative Cloud show missing in Illustrator. It also keep removing the font from the font family stating font was unable to be installed due to an error. So every time I open Illustrator or simply start my system there a new font missing. CC sprouts an error regarding a font. Never had this issue before.

  5. Flatten Transparency color change

    Illustrator 2024 29.4 (64-bit) Windows 11 Pro, Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165H 3.80 GHz, 32 GB Ram

    When using the "flatten transparency" or "rasterize" options, there is a single line of text that keeps changing color. See screen shots attached. This happens regardless of what settings I select. I need the color of the text to be maintained through the operation.

  7. Solid black bar 1.5" wide across entire width of screen blocking top part of opened file

    On opening existing file, solid black bar 1.5" wide and across entire screen at top of screen blocks that portion of file. Cannot resize it or delete it. Cannot access that part of file for editing. Was fine 3/30/25 after upgrading Illustrator on that day due to issues of uncontrollable mouse action.

    TEST YOUR PRODUCT BETTER BEFORE RELEASING IT!!!!!

  9. Problem with Grouping Layers

    I didn't use to have this problem and it doesn't seem to happen all the time, but when it happens it is annoying. That is, when I want to group two different sets of separately grouped objects into a grouped layer, what happens is that each of the layer groups with specific set of objects become combined into one single layer group. That is, the objects are no longer layer grouped by their original layer groups, but all the objects where combined into the same layer group. An Example would be: One layer group contains yellow objects and another layer…

  10. Symbol swatches on network drives won't stay persistent

    We store our color and symbol swatches on a network drive. If we set our color swatches to be persistent, they automatically load whenever we restart Illustrator. This is not the case with symbol swatches. We have to reload manually every time. We expect them to operate the same way as color swatches. Please fix. Running Win 10/11 and the latest Illustrator.

  11. "Other option" for text in Properties panel slow down PC

    Illustrator beta 29.5 35
    When I try to open "other option" for text in the property panel the software slow down very much, I mean it freeze for at least 10 seconds and it happens every time. If I use the usual full Text panel no problems, but normally using the Properties is easier to have all in the same place, so it's a bit frustrating.
    I link the screenshot ot the software frozen after clicking the button.

  13. プリントに選択したページは全て空白です

  15. Type tools not showing in 29.3.1

    The type tools not showing in 29.3.1, I get the 3d and Materials (insanely long) window instead.

  18. Text converting to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025

    Text is getting converted to outlines when exporting and/or saving as SVG in Illustrator 2025, even though I am NOT selecting that option. This is bad for SEO and accessibility and needs to be fixed asap.

  20. Join Tool and overlapping paths - strange behavior

    Hello, UserVoice and Illustrator community!

    Join tool make strange behavior - problem with overlapping paths.

    I took a ready-made example with an umbrella from a pink outline.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/join-tool.html

    I used the join tool as in the example, everything is fine (it connected the intersecting outlines and the overlapping ones too).

    Then I moved the green element a little and the join tool started to behave strangely.
    Example on the top right (dark turquoise umbrella).
    The intersecting outlines worked well.
    But the overlapping ones - I did some nonsense, I got a loooong tail.

    I also moved the green element and…
