Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report--"屬性" (Properties / Attributes)
Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report
To Whom It May Concern,I've encountered a translation issue in the Traditional Chinese interface of Adobe Illustrator, where two different functional panels share the same translated name, "屬性" (Properties / Attributes), which causes confusion for users.
Properties panel:
In Illustrator 2024, this panel was translated as "內容" . However, in Illustrator 2025, its name has been changed to "屬性".
Its function is to dynamically display the most commonly used attributes and control options based on the currently selected object or tool.Attributes panel:
This panel has consistently been named "屬性" (Attributes).
Its primary…1 voteThe issue has been fixed in the latest GA 29.7.1 build.
The older “Attributes” panel now shows as “進階屬性"(Advanced Attributes) instead of just “屬性”.

Touch Type's alternate glyphs panel should ignore view rotation.
Okay, just, look at this screenshot. Look at it. Contemplate it for a moment. Ask yourself if this feels like the right thing to do.
The type itself is at about 45º to the edges of the artboard; I've rotated the canvas to roughly align with the type so I can have a better view of it while I think about how to properly deploy Bookmania's glorious OpenType alternate forms.
I really wasn't expecting the Touch Type tool's popup to match the alignment of the canvas' edges but in retrospect I'm not surprised. NOTHING drawn in the preview window aligns…

Mesh Envelope Distortion renders as shifted on Large Canvas
Taka look at the files attached.
Envelopes on large canvas render their distorted content shifted, compared to normal canvas.
It’s a bug similar to brushes: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/41713246

Appearance items loose focus when get an effect assigned
When I pick a fill in Appearance panel and assign an effect to it, the item looses focus suddenly — take a look at the GIF attached.
If my stack there is complex enough (and they often are), it’s hard to locate the fill/stroke I was working with.
...and surely Ai doesn’t allow to rename these to at least find them quicker — and here is the request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852

White words invisible on export
There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

Clearly inform about specific words "violating" community standards when generating art
I think when 'one or more words' violate the guidelines, Illustrator should clearly inform us what words these are exactly.
I guess this can be used for a bad cause, like to gather the database of restricted words... but I don’t understand why normal users should suffer because of this.4 votes -
The Linked File dropdown does not resize correctly, often goes offscreen
The 'Linked File' dropdown (visible when a linked file is selected) does not resize correctly.
If the lower-right corner is dragged to resize the left edge very quickly moves offscreen, then when the handle is released the dropdown is often too large to view on the monitor, as it has scaled so wide that it is off the right hand side of the screen. It is difficult to get it to all fit on the screen at once, and if the lower-right handle goes offscreen then it requires a restart of Illustrator to try again.
Restarting Illustrator each time this…

Lock Guides button in Properties is shown as depressed when the option is actually enabled
My guides are always set to locked (Ctrl + Alt + ;) but sometimes on loading the icon in the Properties panel is not pressed in or whatever the term is. I think my Illustrator gets into a state where the guides are neither locked or unlocked causing the issue with snapping to guides later. I found this morning that pressing that button a couple times fixes my issue.

Pantone or other book colors in a CMYK document look fine in Overprint preview mode but get exported to an RGB images as dull
When we add a Pantone or a different book color into a CMYK document, we can see how it looks 'for real' when we enable Overprint mode — all fair.
Then we would need to share this image with a client, so we export an RGB image... and this image shows out vivid book color as a dull-and converted-to-CMYK-and-then-to-RGB color — which is not what we have in mind.
This is a bug, honestly, I think, but also a request — we need to be able to export images as we see them in Overprint Preview mode... Ai respect overprints…

Opacity set with an action does not match appearance of opacity set manually
When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.
However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.
Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples…

Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator
Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.
After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are…

Glitchy Application
My computer runs very smoothly with every other application, including other Adobe applications. However, as soon as I open Illustrator, my entire system lags and stutters constantly, making it impossible to get work done with the application. This needs to be fixed and run smoothly.

Direct Select Multiple Points Moves Entire Object Not Just Selected Points
Selecting a single point and dragging or shift-dragging allows you to move the single point. Selecting two points (out of many) appears to work until you release, then the entire object changes position.

Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list
This is a 2 part issue:
If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in…
