Color dropdown gets drawn in the top left corner of the screen when first called
When first called, the color dropdown appears in the top left corner of the display. The second call renders it where it should be. Also (not noticeable in the video, since Sharex doesn’t record clicks) — I had to click the chip twice to make it appear.

White looks gray in Overprint Preview
The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.
Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

Every in-app window is crashing
All in-app windows are crashing. Panels are fine, but windows will crash. This includes even the basic of the basic: new document, set color, saving settings, preferences and settings, etc.

Gradient Panel gets cut off when selecting a gradient object.
There's an odd bug on Mac (M1 Pro with Latest version of Tahoe) where the Gradient Panel will expand in a way that it cuts off the position input when selecting an object with a gradient. Collapsing and opening the panel temporarily fixes it, but if you click off and click another gradient object again, it'll do it again.
This bug was also in 30.1, and I just updated to the latest version a few minutes ago, tested it again, and the issue is still there.

アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される / Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard
再現手順
1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される回避策
- ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
- 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。
- MacOS14(Sonoma)+Illustrator2025(29.5)で確認
- Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
- これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである
表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document in Illustrator.
- In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
- A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.
Workaround:
- Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
- Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.
Notes:
- Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).
- Also confirmed…14 votesClaimed to be fixed in the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back it the tip ever shows up again.

File New dialog is invisible with two monitors
When i click the "New" button in the homepage, the window that has all the settings to create a new document is invisible, it doesn't appear, but the arrow of my mouse shows me that it can interact with the window, but it doesn't show. I use another monitor and i have found online that illustrator tends to have bugs while having a second monitor.

Values in W / H fields in Transform dropdown from Control don’t get updated while editing another field with Constrain Proportions enabled
When editing an object, click in the Height or Width input box and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to decrease the value. When changing one value (e.g. height), the other value is not updated. You must exit the window and return to it to see the value.

Scroll wheel crash
Logitech MX Master 2S mouse scroll wheel has stopped functioning in latest versions of AI. Currently hanging and crashing.
Latest Windows, Latest AI. Latest nvidia driver.
Asuswrx90, AMD7965, 256 QVL RAM, 5090Founders, Samsung 9100 m2 OS/CACHE/Storage drives
Expected: smooth scroll
Actual: App hangs for 2 seconds.
GPU accelleration settings on or off make no difference.
I suspect it is a logitech driver issue but a basic bit of mouse functionality in very very common hardware should not be happening.1 vote -
Centre Points of all objects are visible when I reopen files
Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
Each time I reopen a file in which I had a mix of objects with either visible or hidden centre points, most of these are visible (at least, those of paths, guides…) and they can get in the way.
I think this started happening with the new version 30.0 (or maybe just the one before).
Here are examples of 2 similar files, one with and one without all Centre Points showing.
3 votesThe team tried to fix this in Beta 30.1.0.109. The latest one is 30.2.0.12.
If you can — please try to use Beta and see if no centers will be enabled or disabled when reopening a file. The fix won’t remove those that are already in a document, so we need to to toggle them manually in the Attributes panel.

Disabling "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" corrupts custom workspace
When "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" in General Preferences is disabled, the next time Illustrator is run, my custom workspace is corrupted, for lack of a better word. The toolbar and all panels are missing, and the Control Panel has become floating.

グループに含まれるテキストの組方向を正確に表示しない
iMac27inch/i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD/macOS14.7.2
Illustrator ver.26以降で確認Step to Reproduce
1. 新規ドキュメントにポイントテキストを複数作成する。そのうち、いくつかは縦組みに設定。
2. すべてのポイントテキストを選択してグループ化する。
3. ダイレクト選択ツールまたはTツールで縦組みのテキストを選択する。
4. メニュー:書式→組み方向を選択した際に縦組みテキストを選択しているにもかかわらず横組にチェックが入っている。期待する結果
縦組みのテキストを選択した際には該当メニューで縦組みにチェックマークがついている。実際の結果
縦組みを選択しているにも関わらず横組みにチェックマークがついている。この縦組み・横組の表示は選択範囲に複数の状態が含まれた場合にデフォルトの横組が選択されるという挙動になっています。端的に言って、この複数ステートをデフォルトで表示してしまうのも問題です。本来であれば双方にチェックマークがつかない状態で表示するべきところです。
グループ化されたオブジェクトの一部を選択した場合でもこの組み方向の機能はペアレントの状態を参照しているようです。正確に選択範囲の状態を反映した表示にするべきです。EN Translate
