The default text color in Swatches Info is rich RGB black when used in a CMYK document
Create a CMYK document with Print profile.
Create a Swatches Info object.
Notice the black text in it is way too sharp on edges.
Select text and check its color. It’s RGB 0 0 0, displayed in CMYK something like 91,17 78,69 61,95 97,45 (depending on the profile used, of course).
It makes zero sense to use RGB Black in a CMYK document... in a live object especially.Yes, black color is not defined with Normal Paragraph Style, but is properly defined when a text is created with Type Tool. Why doesn’t this function know about it?

About the Pencil Tool and Image Tracing in version 2025
The accuracy of the path conversion for the pencil tool and image tracing has decreased in version 2025. Even if I change the settings to fine, it is converted to a coarse path, and I cannot express the details like in previous versions. Please improve it as soon as possible.

[Illustrator 2025, 29.0][Win11 Pro 23H2] No Recent Local Files in the Welcome Screen
Recent local files and their previews are completely gone from the welcome screen in Illustrator 2025, 29.0.
Changing the number of visible recent files, restarting the computer, disabling/enabling GPU acceleration and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help.
9 votesAs stated in an update at forums, there is a solution.
A backend fix has been applied. Please restart Illustrator to see if the issue is resolved.
If it persists, follow these steps:
1. Close all Adobe apps, including the Creative Cloud desktop app.
2. Navigate to the following folder location:
Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome folder
Windows: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\
3. Locate the folder named CCX Welcome and rename it to CCX Welcome.old.
4. Relaunch the Creative Cloud desktop app, then reopen Illustrator.

Context Task Bar flickers when panning with a scroll, using mouse or touchpad
CTB hides itself when we pan.
It looks more or less tolerable when we hold Spacebar to pan, or hold a mouse wheel ('why should someone has access to the panel while scrolling'), but it looks HORRIBLE when scrolling with a wheel or using a touchpad.The panel flickers each tick, making it painful to look at.
Some say it happens for them only with Show Grid enabled, but for me it just happens all the time. Either way, CTB should be smart enough to skip the state update for this type of panning.

下揃えに設定したエリア内テキストを途中で改行すると上にスペースが十分あるにも関わらずオーバーフローする
macOS13.6.7／Windows10・11
Illustrator 28.5再現手順
1.エリア内テキストを作成し下揃えに設定した上でテキストを入力する。
2.任意の部分で改行を入力する。
3.テキストは上に送られずにオーバーフローする。期待する結果
上に十分な余白がある場合はテキストを上に送りオーバーフローさせない。実際の結果
エリア内テキストに余白がある場合でもテキストの位置がそのまま保持されてオーバーフローを生じる。現状の対処方法
当該エリア内テキストに対してストーリーの再計算が生じる処理（移動やカーニング・トラッキング調整等）を行うと正常な体裁に戻る。下揃えにした場合、途中の改行でもストーリー全体の再計算が必要になるのですが、上揃えと同様に改行以降の部分的な再計算だけが行われているように思います。
また、これに気付かずにドキュメントを保存すると、次にドキュメントを開いて当該エリア内テキストを編集しようとした時に体裁が変化するために
「このテキストは、別バージョンのIllustratorで作成されました。……」
のアラートが表示されます。

ビットマップ系の効果を適用したオブジェクトをコピーする際に低解像度で処理される
macOS13.6.3/iMac27inch/intel/AMD Radeon5300 4GB
Illustrator ver.26.5〜再現手順
1.環境設定で「リアルタイムの描画と編集」をオンにする。
2.任意のオブジェクトを作成し、「効果→スタイライズ→ぼかし」を適用する。
3.グループ選択ツールで選択しドラッグを開始。ドラッグ中はリアルタイム描画の低解像度表示となる。
4.ドラッグ中にoptionキーをプレス。そのまま任意の位置までいどうする。
5.ドラッグを終了すると当該オブジェクトがコピーされる。通常の移動ではドラッグ終了時に適切な解像度でのレンダリングが行われるが、途中からoptionキーをプレスした場合適切なレンダリング結果とならずリアルタイム描画の状態のままとなる。期待する結果
通常の移動時と同様適切な解像度での結果表示となる。実際の結果
移動中の低解像度の表示のままの結果が得られる。回避方法。
「リアルタイムの描画と編集」を外してリアルタイムの描画をさせないか、ドラッグ開始前にoptionキーを押しておく。この挙動は最終的に行われる実際の解像度でのレンダリングが行われない事による不具合かと考えられます。この影響は
スタイライズに含まれる「ぼかし」「ドロップシャドウ」「光彩」や３Dとマテリアル等のビットマップレンダリングが伴う処理で出ます。今回はoptionショートカット利用のコピーという条件ですが、他にも発生条件が存在するようにも思います。
何にしろ、低品質でデータが保持されると印刷事故に直結します。早急にご対応頂きたいものです。9 votes -

Enter while typing does not get recorded in history as an Undo step
When I type a text in Illustrator and hit Enter to make a paragraph break, it does not get recorded into the history as an operation I can undo. This means all typed paragraphs get clumped in history together and get undone as a whole.
This is not how many other apps do, including InDesign and Word.
Some apps also consider line breaks as an interruption of flow, which would have been handy too.
It is quite similar to this report:
Illustrator does not treat the auto bullets as a separate Undo step

Pressing Backspace in text gets recorded in History as a chain of separate Clear steps
When we type a text, Ai treats it as one operation, all the time.
Even when we press Enter, the flow is considered to be uninterrupted — and there a bug report about this:
http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/47038321
Even if an automatic conversion of bullets happen, Ai still thinks it’s not worth undoing — and there is a bug report about this as well: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/46954429But for some reason when I hold Backspace to delete a bunch of text, Ai records each deleted symbol as a separate step, despite the fact it’s treated by users as a one operation, eating up the history…

Switching modes in Repeat Options dialog does not change the selected repeat object
Imagine you experiment and convert some art into a Repeat object.
Then you open Repeat Options and see some other variants, like Radial, Grid, and Mirror... OK, you think what do these do? You toggle to them, you set values, you click OK — and nothing you get. These do nothing. You can only change those your object currently have, but not switch the type.- Why can’t I switch the type?
- Why don’t you disable these if they don’t work?

Can you verify this works as expected in later Illustrator builds? It seems like the problem was fixed.

Hyphenation ignores pre-hyphenated words
Many languages have pre-hyphenated words (like 'pre-hyphenated').
When I setup Hyphenation with Before and After values, I expect Illustrator to apply these to each part of a hyphenated word, not to the whole complex word itself, like Ai does in the picture (where the arrow is pointing). Instead, it should prefer the existing hyphen to break a line at, not just one symbol away from it. This forces users to use 'no break' often (which is hard to call) and generally spend more time on editing.
Here is a text example.
Not
pre-h
yphenated
but
pre-
hyphenated...and obviously it…

Scrolling Stroke Arrow Styles Crashes Illustrator
When editing a stroke arrowhead, Illustrator freezes and crashes when I try to scroll down the list of available arrowhead options. It will happen in the properties panel and the other stroke panels. It is 100% repeatable. I can select the arrowhead styles that are at the top of the list no problem, but if I scroll it crashes.

text selection issue with threaded text frames
Trying to select text in the second column of a threaded text frame is impossible. The selection always jumps to select the text in the previous text frame. In the video example I uploaded - I'm simply trying to select just the top paragraph in the middle column - but it keeps highlighting the text in the linked text frame on the left column. I can never just select the top 3 lines in the middle column.

Windows版27.3.1で現行版MS-IME利用時にCtrl+ホイール移動でフリーズ
Windows版27.3.1+MS-IMEが現行版（旧バージョンにしていない）の場合、Ctrl+マウスホイールによる横スクロールを実行するとフリーズします
- Windowsの設定で、日本語IMEの全般設定で「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をOFFの状態（デフォルト状態）
- 27.3.1で新規ファイルを作成する
- Ctrl+マウスホイールで横スクロールを繰り返す
この操作のみでフリーズし、一切の操作がきかなくなります。
「以前のバージョンのMicrosoft IMEを使う」をONにすることで回避はできますが、従来の27.2ではこの問題は起きていませんでした。

Illustrator does not omit spaces in values in inputs, unlike in InDesign
Just like it is demonstrated in this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnv5bcuIOrt/
Unlike in InDesign, where we can accidentally make this:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' and get '210 mm' as a result, in Illustrator it goes liek this instead:
'21 |mm' → '21 0|mm' → '21 mm'
It just doesn’t understand what an aiming mistake is. Makes little sense, since it can’t be anything but that, so no punishment, please.9 votes -

V26.5.1 Path re-open after using pathfinder tool
V26.5.1
The steps you were taking when you experienced the issues:
1. pen tool to do a open path
2. close the path using "add to shapes" in pathfinder
3 use pen tool to start a new point, the previous closed shape will reopen and join the new pointYour expected result :
using pen tool to start a new point should give a single point, not joining the previous closed shape
the closed shape should remain closed9 votes -
When a plugin is removed, the toolbar which had its tool gets completely empty
If for some reason I get a plugin removed form the Plugins folder, Ai wipes the entire tool panel which had the tool associated with the removed plugin.
Even worse — when a plugin is returned back to the folder, Ai won’t restore the panel! It stays completely broken and empty. Each next launch Ai seemingly restores it, but the next launch it’s empty again. Resaving the panel does not help.
So you have to rely on backups — manual backups, because, again, Ai fails at properly backing up these automatically.

Problem with Type on a Path after ver. 26.1 update
Prior to updating Adobe Illustrator to ver. 26.1, a drawing with Type on a Path appears as it should. After the update, the text is positioned in a different place along the path. This is confirmed on a second computer. The same file opened on the second computer prior to the update appears normal, and after the update, the text is shifted.
