Illustrator 25.0 color not rightThis is NOT an IDEA it's a bug. 
 Colours in the newest version of illustrator are wrong.
 Attached is a screen grab of the file in 25.0 and work uploaded from the same file (previous version) on a web site. We've been through all this before with previous updates… why such shocking inconsistency with a professional product?!2 votes

The pencil tool doesn't close the path when you draw small objectsIf you draw a small dot with pencil tool it will not close the path. That little circle under the cursor indicating that it will close the path never pops up. So now you have to zoom in if you want to draw small shapes and get a closed path. Changing the number in the "Close paths when ends are within:" doesn't do anything so that's not the problem. It's a new bug. This was no issue in CS6. You could hold "Alt" to close the path no matter how tiny shapes you were drawing. 2 votes

AI crashes when zooming on IPad Pro 12- April 2021AI was working fine on my iPad Pro, but it’s been crashing almost every time I pinch zoom the past two days. I have no imported fonts in the file I’m working on. The only difference from previous files I’ve worked in with no issue is: I’ve used the mirror function in several layers. Could those be responsible? Currently, I’m unable to accomplish the most basic tasks because the app either crashes when I zoom, or the image freezes in place without updating any of the commands or strokes I put in. How do I fix this? I need to… 1 vote

Angezeigte Höhe eines Kreises und Position ist falsch.Windows Illustrator Version 25.2.1 64bit Zum radialen Anordnen von Zahlen benutze ich immer einen runden Aussenkreis. Wie folgt gehe ich dabei vor: - Arbeitkreis Zeichnen XY auf 0, Ø40mm

- Kreis und Zahl anwählen drehen um 18°
- nächste Zahl anwählen > und positionieren : X 0 Y 13mm
- Kreis und Zahl anwählen drehen um 18°
- und so weiter
 jedoch musste ich jetzt feststellen, dass sich die angezeigte Höhe des Kreises in der Werkzeugleiste der Höhe der sich im Kreis befindenden Zahlen anpasst und auch die Y Position dadurch ändert. Obwohl… 1 vote

Overprint fillOverprint fill, if all layer is chosen sometimes it shows like not all elements are chosen like overprint fill or oposite. It is serios mistkake as can cost a lot of money and lost reputation companies by this bug. This kind of error should be corrected immediately by Adobe. If not all elements are overprint filled maybe it can be a good idea to show like mid terms used? Dear Adobe Team, please answer the bug solution. 1 vote

Overprint Setting & colour settingsIssue one 
 overprint cant be applied to groups, individual objects within that group remain unset to overprint, even tho the tick box claims its overprinting, it is not - this is misleading & downright dangerousfurther more the color issue shown in the video , your objects should not do that , it again expands the risk for error , basically all the print sensitive setting in AI latest version have stopped functioning logically if you ask me & really up the risk for errors in print, never mind that going through all objects individually is tedious & unnecessary, prolongs… 1 vote

Illustrator not opening Fusion 360 DXFs after 25.0.1The primary reason I use Illustrator (on my Intel Mac running Big Sur) is to further process the DXFs generated by Fusion 360 and prepare them for laser cutting. Recently, illustrator started opening these files as blank, even though online viewers display them just fine. According to internet research, this should have been fixed in version 25.0.1. However, after updating and reinstalling illustrator the issue persists. This is incredibly frustrating as my laser has been unused for a number of weeks as I can’t prepare files. Please fix! 2 votes

Falsely claims video drivers out of dateYour last 2 or 3 updates, after updating & re-opening AI, it tells me my video card driver is out of date. I have updated everything it tells me to update, they are correct & latest versions. Still AI tells me this with a pop up stating 'I may have performance issues if I continue without updating drivers'. 
 I've done all I can my end, had it checked by IT guys - can you look into it please?
 I run Windows10 PRo.Thank you. 1 vote

Toggle tool with CMD will not change back to current tool in 25.2OS X 10.14 Illustrator 25.2 Using e.g. the pencil tool and switching temporarily to move tool will with pressed CMD key, often results in not changing back to current pencil tool after release of the CMD key. Works fine with 25.1 but does not work properly with 25.2. Especially while making hand drawings, where one changes often between pencil - move - eyedropper - this is quite annoying. Could you please fix this? 1 vote
