  1. Crashes immediately when adding a leader before a "tate-chu-yoko" text in vertical orientation

    Guaranteed immediate crashing upon adding a leader in the Tabs panel to a tabbed gap right before a character that's set as tate-chu-yoko.
    Now I have to use bad workarounds just to circumvent this...
    Hope it gets fixed soon.

  2. Cmd+Opt+Shift+M Erases Text

    OBSERVATION
    The keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+M will open the Character Window and highlight the current font, however this exceptionally incredible time saving shortcut works only if the text is selected and not highlighted.

    While the text is highlighted, performing the Cmd+Opt+Shift+M shortcut, simply erases the highlighted text.

    EXPECTED RESULTS
    The mechanics of this shortcut, many versions ago, performed the expected function, whether the text was highlighted or selected.

    Illustrator: 29.7
    OSX: Sequoia 15.5

  3. Les raccourcis clavier typographiques ne fonctionnent plus dans la 29.7

    Dans le version illustrator 29.7 du 30 juillet 2025, toutes les fonctions de manipulation des typographies par les raccourcis clavier ne fonctionnent plus.

  4. Embedded font previews get substituted when pasted as a vector smart object in Photoshop

    In some case, when opening the files, the app does not inform there are missing fonts. They're still displayed like the font is already installed in system. When I copy and paste into Photoshop (as vector smart object), the text is replaced by other fonts automatically without any announcement.

  5. The entire document fails due to the use of area text linked to different pages. Text is lost, the file freezes, won't save, or is stuck

    Mi computador es un MacBook Pro 2022 - Chip Apple M2 - MacOs Sequoia 15.5, pensaba que era un error del Mac por lo que formatee el computador y volví a instalar la suite de adobe, pero no, el error sigue, fue a partir de la actualización hecha después del sábado 28 de Junio. Desde allí el ilustrator presenta diferentes errores que detallaré a continuación:
    1. Para abrir un documento luego de haber trabajado en otro, se queda pensando diciendo que esta leyendo el documento y no lo abre, allí se bloquea y tengo que reiniciar el programa (adjunto pantallazo).…

  6. Baseline Shift units change to points when Language Options gets changed to East Asian

    For some reason Ai believes my Baseline Shift units MUST be in points when I choose to use East Asian Language Options, like the GIF shows.

  8. Preview Only Text rendered as moved compared to the original

    The new Preview Only Text feature is bugged. Attached is a screen shot of a comparison of the original document and Illustrators Preview Only text. The copy actually moves quite a bit from it's original position. The text is area type and within a box if that is a clue. This should be a huge concern for anyone trusting the preview only text.

  9. Fonts used previously won’t load and miss in the document

    Many of the fonts aren't opening properly on the working files from the previous version of IIllustrator. It appears as I have no these fonts, but I sure had yesterday in 2024 version, so it's there :d

  10. Text Overflow / Overset (+) Indicators are not shown

    A strange thing is happening with a few of my files. Some text boxes have stopped showing the indicator when clicking off of the text box which has text overflow. This recently cause me to mistakenly print a file that had text overflowing with no indication. Why is this happening?

  11. Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default

    When I select a word, the Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default. None of the text settings respond or update. The program doesn’t freeze, but the panel acts as if no text is selected. The same thing happens in the Control panel

  12. Bullet or numbered list incorrectly applying when copying text boxes

    If text that has a bullet or numbered list applied to it runs across a joined text box, the list effect will be applied to all the text before it in the duplicated text box.

  13. Area type vertical alignment and auto size doesn't work

    I've been using Illustrator on my Intel Mac under Sequoia and last versions lets you choose center, bottom or justify alignment but it always acts as top and the auto size option is disabled.

  14. Text editing issues in regular and large canvases

    1. Set the regional text to "align both ends, align the last line to the left", which aligns normally in a regular canvas, but cannot align on the right side in a large canvas.
    2. For the text in the same area, adjust the "Scale Spacing" text in the big canvas to overflow on the right. Display normally in regular canvas.

  15. Character styles seem sticky, sluggish

    The character styles dialog seems very sluggish, sometimes being unresponsive for a minute. So far no crashes, but a major pain having to wait for the styles to register changes....

  16. Illustrator 29.1 Can't Import AI Files From Other Apps

    I posted something about this in the Illustrator user forums earlier today. I've been dealing with a bug present in the Illustrator 29.1 update that was pushed to users this morning. This new version cannot open AI files exported by rival graphics applications if the AI file contains any live text objects. If the artwork is all raw vectors, even with complex fills, it opens fine. Any live text makes it a no-go.

    When attempting to open the AI file containing text objects this message is displayed:
    "Illustrator could partially read this file. We recovered as much of the file…

    英数で 「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」と入力するとスペースは全角で入力され、バックで削除できなくなる。選択もできなくなる。これをアウトラインをとった時、消えてしまう場合とそうでない場合がある。

    「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」と入力したい場合は「1(いち」を入力する前に何か任意の数字(文字)を入力してから「1(いち」「.(ドット」「 (半角スペース)」を入力した後、任意の数字(文字)を削除すれば通常通りに入力、アウトライン等可能
