Using Random Size Calligraphic Brush inside of a group/layer with an effect applied makes Ai pick only one size for each brush tip
If a layer or a group has an level effect applied (in this case it’s Transform, for creating symmetric designs), then Ai doesn’t apply random size for the calligraphy brush tips created with Brush tool inside this group/layer — but does it outside of this group / on a normal layer.
Take a look at the test file attached and the GIF recorded.
Clicking with Brush tool randomizes the size for the first object created in Layer 1 (with the effect applied), but each consequential click makes points with same thickness.
But when the same happens on Layer 2, with…2 votes -
Toggling Scale Stroke & Effects from Properties panel crashes Ai instantly
Selecting the arrow artwork in the attached file and toggling the Scale Stroke & Effects option from the Transform section’s dropdown in Properties panel crashes Ai instantly, on MacOS Ventura 13.7.6, M2 Pro — like it happens in the attached video.
Using the same option in Preferences works fine.

CMYK-Werte im Farbwähler werden nach „Ohne Farbe“ in RGB umgewandelt – trotz CMYK-Dokument
Ich arbeite in einem Illustrator-Dokument im CMYK-Farbmodus. Wenn ich die Flächenfarbe eines Objekts auf „Ohne Farbe“ setze und danach über den Farbwähler neue CMYK-Werte eingebe, wandelt Illustrator diese automatisch in RGB-Farben um – obwohl das Dokument und die Farbeinstellungen vollständig auf CMYK eingestellt sind.
Das Problem tritt seit Kurzem in allen neuen und bestehenden Dateien auf, auch nach Zurücksetzen der Voreinstellungen und Neuinstallation.
Der Fehler lässt sich jederzeit reproduzieren:
Neues CMYK-Dokument erstellen
Objekt zeichnen, Fläche auf „Ohne Farbe“ setzen
Über Farbwähler CMYK-Wert eingeben
Illustrator wandelt die Eingabe in RGB um
Das Verhalten widerspricht dem erwarteten Verhalten in einem CMYK-Dokument und…3 votes -
ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定したドキュメントをPDFで書き出したものがオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる
macOS13.6.7/iMac27inch(Intel)
Illustrator ver.28.6再現手順
1. いくつかの図形を重ねて合成モードを乗算に設定したうえでグループ化しグループの抜きのチェックボックスを外す。
2. ドキュメントのグループの抜きを設定する。
3. PDF X4で保存する。
4. そのPDFをAcrobatで開く。
5. Illustrator上でのオーバープリントプレビューの表示と異なる。Actual result
PDFを書き出した状態とIllustrator上での表示が異なる。Expected Result
PDFの表示とIllustrator上での表示が同じになる。Illustrator上でのグループの構造の違いがIllustrator上のレンダリング結果とPDF書き出し結果で相違が生じています。1でのグループの抜きのチェックを外したグループではIllustrator上ではグループ内ので抜き処理を行わず合成モードの処理を行います。これがPDFを書き出した際にグループの抜きと解釈され、全てがノックアウトされた状態でPDFが作成されます。どちらが正しいかという事は難しいのですが、グループに設定されたノックアウトを拒否する設定をPDF書き出し時にも有効にするほうが表現の幅が拡がるように思います。

Swatch Info renders a saved tint as yet another copy of the main global color
The feature doesn't work correctly with tints for global colors.
When a new tint of a global color is saved into Swatches, it gets displayed as an un-tinted one by Swatch Info, as the image shows.4 votes -
Javacript locking embeded image
In Illustrator 29.1 this script worked just fine. I place an image, move it, name it, lock it and embed it. But in 29.3 this code gives an error message: It says that it cannot operate on a locked layer, BUT it still locks the placed item. If I move the lock to after the embed, the lock does not happen. So this code no longer works in 29.3.
I think its weird in 29.1 that you were allowed to lock the placeditem before you embed it, but it doesn't work if you lock it afterwards.
We are using macos…
3 votesThe issue is reported to be fixed in the latest Pre-release build 29.4.130.
The provided script should now work without any error dialog, as before.
Please also see the recommended way to achieve locking of embedded art in modified script, in a comment within.

Documents don't open
If I create a new document the dialog appears and I select the option and hit OK. Then the screen does not show the document. Only a gray screen. The same happens when I try to open an existent document. I have to close and and open several times until it opens or create the document.

A group with any Warp effect applied to it fails to render hidden objects within when these are shown back
When an image with 3 or more layers is grouped together then an arch effect is added to that group, the layer visibility toggle behaves strangely in a way where the layers disappear but do not reappear. once the layer visibility is back to on but the image cannot be seen Illustrator will allow you to click and drag the area to grab the "hidden" layer but it is now only an outline with no color fill until you move it. or refill the color. This is a feature we have used for years and never had an issue until…

Adding new anchors with Pen tool when Snap to Grid is enabled is treated wrong and inconsistently
Illustrator allows to snap stuff to grid, but really doesn’t love doing it (here’s a request about the tolerance and how it’s to harsh in general: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49616738)
Here in a GIF I’m creating a simple path with anchors placed on a grid. After closing the shape, I decide to add several points in-between, and have them on the grid as well... but the only anchor I can place normally is the one in the middle, that happen to be exactly (within an unknow tolerance) at the intersection of the grid lines (and the cursor gets a + to indicate…

Illustrator reverts all the work done and doesn’t allow to expand
It’s just I'm doing work — and it reverts back to the start of my process and isn’t saving the work I work on as I go.
Also it doesn’t let me expand shapes and sizes.1 vote -
There is a delay and lag when copying in Adobe Illustrator 2025 29.5.141
When using Adobe Illustrator 2025, there is a delay and lag when copying. When performing a Ctrl+C copy of graphics or text, or when manually dragging, there is a delay and lag in the response, and the copy does not appear immediately. If a zoom operation is performed during a Ctrl+C copy, the delay and lag become even more pronounced.

Move/Copy doesn’t remember last used settings
When using Move/Rotate tool multiple times, UI 'remembers' last setting (helpful).
When using Move/Copy tool, it not only doesn't remember previous setting, it seems to randomly create new settings (not helpful).

Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles
This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.
The following code will fail with the error "Cannot get document 1". The error occurs when the

El gráfico de un objeto 3D se mueve con el objeto
