ESC key not exiting text editing and isolation modes in Illustrator 2025 on macOS and PC
On macOS (latest version), ESC key does not exit text editing mode in Illustrator 2025 as it used to in previous versions.
Resetting preferences and keyboard shortcuts does not fix it. I created a new action to perform the exit task temporarily.
Expected behavior: ESC should exit text mode.26 votes -

Creating and/or Entering Opacity Mask doesn’t work from Properties / Control panels
When clicking on the Opacity popu-up panel (in Control or Properties) and then clicking on the mask thumbnail to activate that mode, the thumbnail highlights but as soon as I attempt to edit the contents of the mask, it shows that the mode is not activated. Only if I select the 'Clip' checkbox in the Opacity panel will it allow me to edit the mask. But then clicking the 'Object' thumbnail in the Opacity panel, similarly does not exit mask-editing mode. I have to uncheck the 'Clip' checkbox to get back to normal mode. Previously, simply clicking on each thumbnail…

プレビュー用のPDFの文字が化けました
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Adobe Illustrator v29.7.1
他社で作成されたCentury Gothic Regular が使われているIllustratorドキュメント（作成バージョンは29.7）を開いて修正して保存した。
このデータはInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置されていた。
InDesignドキュメントの表示の、Century Gothicの数字が異なる数字になっていた。
1→3、0→2 のように。
修正した環境にはCentury Gothicがインストールされていない。Font Bookに表示されない。
が、Illustratorはフォントエラーを表示することなく、開いた。
PDFを書き出すと、正常に表示される。
プレビューのPDFのみ化けている。
その後、調べてみると、Illustrator内では「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」が使用されていることがわかった。
また、Illustrator v28.7.9ではプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
さらに、「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」を適当なFontsフォルダにインストールすると、Illustrator v29.7.1でもプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
コミュニティの記述にv29.2.1までダウンバージョンすると様々なバグが回避できるとあったので、ダウンバージョンしてみたが、やはり化ける。
v29.0までダウンバージョンしてみたが、全て化けた。
再現方法としては、
1. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダに入れる
2. Illustratorでドキュメントを新規作成
3. 数字を入力
4. 書体をCentury Gothic Regularにする
5. 保存して閉じる
6. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダから外す
7. 5.のドキュメントを開く
8. 修正して保存（または別名保存）
以上を、各バージョンのIllustratorで実行。
InDesignに貼り付けるまでもなく、Finderのプレビューで確認できる。8 votes -
フォントの表示がおかしい
本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。4 votes -
When moving object it counts as hundreds of inputs, filling the history
When you move an object with the mouse, it seems to consider each pixel or so it moves as an individual input, so if you just quickly drag something, your history is completely filled and it is impossible to undo enough to undo the single move. It also shows up as 'Undo' in the history tab rather than 'move' - only the final one is considered 'move'.
3 votesSeems fixed in Beta 30.0.0.14

Bring to front/back not working with new update
Manually right-clicking and selecting "bring to front" and "send to back" aren't working. The shortcut (ctrl + shift + [ or ] ) is also not working. This seems to have started after updating to version 29.4.
Every tutorial I can find hasn't helped. This bug has massively increased my workload as I use this action every few seconds.

Errors were detected but could not be corrected automatically. Please send the file to Adobe for further analysis.
I have already tried to reset illustrator preferences, removed all unused brushed and patterns.

PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025
ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
Hello everyone,
I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
System: macOS 15.6.1
Apple M1 Max
64 GB
The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM,…2 votes -

Bezier handles become invisible
I use the latest version of Illustrator cc 2025, on Windows 10.
This problem has been going on for several, many versions back so it is not a version problem, but an Illustrator problem.When I work on a file for a long time, for example creating brands, so the entire table is full of tests, ideas, etc..
I noticed that after working on the document for hours, days, it gets to a point that the BUG appears...As shown in the photo, the yellow vector on the right is the original document. I cannot see on that vector and…

Constant random crashing of application (version 29.5.1) with no obvious operation as the cause (on MacOS 15.5)
I am experiencing random crashes in any file with the latest version of Illustrator (29.5.1) on the latest version of MacOS (15.5). | have also been having similar (although not as often) crashes in InDesign (again, latest version 20.3.1). Meanwhile, I see stories that you are about to increase the subscription prices for access to generative Al tools, while the stability of your software--the basic usability is in question. Not acceptable.

Adobe illustrator hangs up/not responding whenever the application is closed
Whenever my adobe illustrator application is closed the hangs up for 5-10 seconds and enters "not responding" in windows before closing. This happens whether or not a file is open and has been replicated across user profiles in windows. Previous tickets with support for this issue are : ADB-39790766-X5M6, ADB-40236629-R6J6, and ADB-40751699-T0T2. I have uploaded logs from the adobe log collection tool under the following name: AdobeLogs20250711062022_057-win-GS.zxp and have a local copy as well if it is needed (unable to attach here).

Preview issues with Home recent files and Placed files not properly showing all artwork.
Home recent files not populating with updated artwork previews. For example: I use a personal file template, make changes, save as new, and the new file does not populate an updated preview on the home screen. Second, when placing an AI file in another AI file some of the assets are missing in the place file and/or moved and distorted - even though when I open the original file everything looks fine.

Gen AI Style Reference not working correctly
I let it generate a dragon. Then pointed to a style reference - a picture of an elephant. And then generated again. Now the dragon had a trunk.... A trunk is not a graphic / artistic style. A style reference should look at style rather than content / subject.

Holding down 'Alt' for distance measurement prefers clipped content to clipping mask
The distance measured is the object in the mask, not the mask.
Cannot measure distance when the object is within the mask object.2 votes
