Undo Release Clipping Mask Does Nothing
I recently noticed that if I unclip an object, by accident or necessity, that I cannot undo the step either through the menu Undo or Command key Undo.
I can clip and Command-Z to unclip.
I can manually unclip and Command-Z to reclip.
If I clip, I Command-z to unclip and then Command + Option + Z to redo my last action and it will properly clip.But if I just manually unclip, and then use the Undo command to reclip it like it was? It doesn't work. Nothing happens and it moves on in the history.
I am on…

Home and End buttons in Find and Replace misbehave
Pressing Home and End buttons in all Find and Replace input fields should properly place the cursor at the start and the end of the text, instead of picking first and last values from the dropdown lists (like in happens in the Font Browser).
Home and End should pick the first/last items ONLY when the dropdowns are expanded!2 votes -
When a justified area type with a short line gets converted into a point type, text shifts
Why this justified text suddenly jumps into the middle of the area type’s bounds when converted into a point type? Not new at all, happens in CC2017 at least. It should stay where it was. If I change it to be just left-aligned, it works as expected.

A width profile that is uneditable and rendered wrong
Take a look at these two path; Illustrator says they have the same width profile, but it’s obviously not correct.
If saved as Graphic styles — these do match.
Paths match.
Directions match (and simple reversing still looks different).
The left-hand path cannot be edited with the native Width tool.I can edit these with Width Selector tool by Astute Graphics, but it makes the width changed in a different spot. Saving the style, clearing the appearance, reapplying the style — heals the bug. Deleting a leftmost segment... this keep the look the same (almost), but the bug gets healed…

Object size (width/height) swapped in control bar.
See attached screenshot. Control bar shows the width and height of the object/rectangle incorrectly. 'Transform' box shows correct info, but control bar swaps the 2 dimensions.
2 votesShape’s width and height differ from path's width and height, as explained in comments.
To deal with the second half of the problem, vote for this request to make Offset Path to respect the original position and the direction of a path.

Saving Process
I recently updated my Illustrator, and I've encountered a new error. When I try to save my project, the saving process won't complete, and there are no options to cancel it. Also, it is not shown on the tasks panel. I have to open a new document and save that as a new file. After a few rounds of saving, the problem occurs again, and I have to force stop the app to prevent further issues with recovered documents.
I would greatly appreciate your help in solving this problem. Thank you.

Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info don’t get played in actions
Swatches panel’s flyout menu now has two new commands, Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info.
When we try to record these into actions, they get added fine — but once played, nothing happens at all: no gradient gets built, no color legend appears on canvas.
As always, these new additions don’t get integrated into the application enough... Please don’t abandon them!11 votes -
2025 Paragraph styles broken opening files created in previous versions
Opening up previously formated files (2024) with Character/paragrah styles applied is useless in 2025!

SVG files open altered
My files are continuously saving incorrectly. They look great when I save, but when I close out and open it later, things are not as they were. Anchors/handles jump out of whack, stylized effects disappear, rasterized images go blank or disappear; it is maddening. I cannot use this program if my files do not reopen as I saved them. They are exactly right when I hit save, but upon reopening, or opening in another program, they are altered in infuriatingly time-consuming ways.
Possible related symptoms -- upon saving a file, Illustrator regularly tells me my file has been modified outside…

Request for Improvement: Kerning Delay with Complex Background Data in Illustrator 2025
I am experiencing performance issues with Adobe Illustrator 2025 (latest version) in the following environment:
Environment: MacBook Pro 2024 (32GB RAM, SSD), macOS Sequoia
File Setup: Approximately 30 artboards with the same complex background (vector data or high-resolution images)
Issue: Kerning and text spacing adjustments result in a ~1-second delay per operation. Hiding the background does not resolve the issue, but removing it eliminates the delay.Attempted Solutions:
Disabled Navigator panel and layer thumbnails
Toggled GPU performance on/offRequest: Please optimize performance to ensure smooth kerning operations even with multiple artboards and complex background data.

Properties Panel Content Missing in Illustrator v29.3
Description of the Issue:
After upgrading to Illustrator v29.3, the Properties panel no longer displays its full content. For example, when selecting a rectangle, the panel only shows "Rectangle" and "Quick Actions," while other expected options are missing. This issue persists even after clearing the cache, resetting preferences, and restarting the application.
I downgraded to v29.2.1, and the Properties panel worked as expected. However, when I upgraded back to v29.3, the issue reappeared, confirming that this is specific to the v29.3 update.
System Information:
- Operating System: macOS 15.3.1
- Adobe Illustrator Version: v29.3
Steps to Reproduce:
- Upgrade to Illustrator v29.3.
- Open…

Dimensions of newly created objects have numerous decimal places and don’t get adjusted afterwards
After leaving the computer on for a week with software running in the background, when trying to draw a new rectangle, the dimensions will show numerous decimal places. Moreover, when attempting to adjust the dimensions afterward, the values will jump erratically.
The background backup process of the software occupies main operational resources, resulting in lag.

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).

Type on path doesn't slide smoothly anymore.
Type on path doesn't slide smoothly anymore.
11 votesIt seems like this no longer happens in the latest Beta 29.6 107, the sliding now happens smoothly as expected.
Please test it if you can to see if it’s safe to push the update to the general build.

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.

Variables Panel columns don't resize
Variables Panel interface columns don't move in case variables names are long. This is a problem that is still not fixed. I know that it worked in old version of illustrator CS2 and CS3 you can modify the columns in de the panel interface so you can read all variables names better. Today we need to restrict the text length of the variables names so we can read in de panel interface. This is not an ideal alternative. Can you please fix this so that the panel works again like Illustrator CS3 ?
