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.

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.

Greek text now keep accents with All Caps and is not consistent with UPPERCASE result
This has to do with the new update where all files previously created using Greek language using CAPS now all have accents. Now every time we need to change the language to Greek for accents to disappear. I'm sure this will be an issue for greeks around the world.

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。

Hitting Escape while editing a field does not cancel the value but applies it
I don’t know why nobody reports this...
If I input something in a field and I want to abort and return to the previous value, I hit Escape.Sometimes the first Escape closes the suggestions dropdown (like in browsers), and only the second one restores the previous value.
A LOT of apps follow this rule except browsers:
Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, Blender...
Non-design ones too: MS Office, Google Docs, various text editors... A LOT.Some apps keep the value entered, but don’t apply it, and put the old one back when an object get reselected — Xara does it.
Some…

Aligning doesn’t work for groups with strange empty unselectable objects inside, imported from SVGs (originally made with Illustrator)
Several objects were made in Illustrator and exported to SVGs.
Later they were imported back into Illustrator.
Please take a look at both the GIF and the file atached.When one tries to select all the top-level groups and align them to left — it doesn’t work.
Aligning to center and to right works, but once these get aligned to right — aligning to center stops working too.When exploring layers, it’s clear that these groups have something else inside besides rectangles — but only in Layers, not on canvas. These can’t be selected or changed, only rearranged, renamed, deleted.

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 -

Dimension tool prefers to snap to or edit an existing dimension instead of starting or completing a new one
Take a look at the GIF.
I need to measure the width of one square, and then measure the overall width of both squares.I create the first dimension with no problem.
However, when I try to create the second one, Ai plays dumb.When I click the leftmost point, the tool thinks that I am to EDIT the existing dimension (although I am clicking and not click-and-dragging, and I am clicking an endpoint of it, and not in the middle!)
Well... I can lock the first dimension (which would require me to abort, select the first one, lock, and…

4) Click Save PDF
5) Save file as Adobe PDF format
6) Select [Smallest File Size] from presets.Notice the Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities is now selected. Also notice the preset name hasn’t changed to say it's (Modified).

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.

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。
こちらについてはIllustratorフォーラムの投稿にて発覚しました。https://adobe.ly/3JmAvWA

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.

Selection tolerance too tight on high resolution displays in Windows
Selection tolerances are much too tight when trying to select a line rather than a shape - you have to be within 1-2 pixels to select properly, which makes it super hard to select lines.
This can be fixed slightly by changing the UI scale, but only works if you change it to 'comically large'. It works fine on my MacBook so looks like a Windows problem.
Smart guides don't help since smart guides don't work when snap to grid is selected for some reason.
You can see the minute differences in the pointer position in the screenshots.

A lot of empty PNG when using Export for Screens function
When exporting with Export for Screens, many empty pngs are created in the file folder. The bug occurs completely randomly. The number of files also defies any explanation. There may be 10 or 1000 files at a time.
System: Windows 10, Illustrator v.26.0.3
New details: this bug occurs if you copy complex graphics to the clipboard. Video attached. I suspect the meshes are to blame.
Update: If you disable Clipboard Handling → Include SVG Code or clipboard log Windows, the problem disappears.
