1. 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 of manually created objects all show the same appearance properties. Adding an object with the same attributes but which was created via an action shows "mixed appearances."

   This was posted in the Adobe community forum: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/select-same-gt-appearance-works-manually-but-not-in-an-action/td-p/14898865

   Here are the steps to repeat:

   Make a new, blank document.
   Start recording an action in the Action panel.
   Record yourself making a new rectangle with the Rectangle tool.
   Set the Fill to Black, and the Stroke to None.
   Change the Opacity in the Transparency panel to 20%.
   Stop recording.
   Move that frame to the side.
   Manually create a new rectangle, using the same steps as above.
   Under the Select menu, choose "Same > Appearance."
   You should see the previous rectangle you made included in the selection.
   Your Properties and Attributes panels should contain the same information for both objects.
   Now run your action you just recorded in the Actions panel.
   Choose Select > Same > Appearance.
   Note that nothing else gets selected.
   Manually select the rectangle created by the action plus either of the ones created manually.
   Note the Attributes panel now says "Mixed Attributes."

   You recorded yourself making an object with certain attributes. You played back that action and according to every panel it has the same attributes as the one you previously created, but you cannot use Select > Same > Appearance to select them both because the appearances are "Mixed."

   The only way to work around this is to create a Graphics Style with the attributes (opacity, fill) being searched for. Then an object can be created with an action, the action can assign the Graphics Style, and then Select > Same > Appearance will find all of the objects with the same fill and opacity (even if those objects do not have the Graphics Style applied).

   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… more

2. Keyboard navigation for Save/Don't Save dialog box NOT WORKING

   Chip: Apple M2 Max
   Memory: 32 GB
   macOS Sequoia 15.4.1
   Illustrator 29.0.1

   I expect to keyboard navigate to any button, and when the desired button is highlighted, I expect to hit enter and the button action should take place.

   Save dialog box buttons do not work with keyboard navigation.

   I opened 16 PNGs, I cut or mess with the image and past what I want into my working file, the want to close all open files I am done with but not save what I did...

   (I was only grabbing what I want for new work and want line thickness consistency examples)

   When the dialog box for "do you want to save?" opens, I attempt to use the arrow key to navigate to "Don't Save" & hit return. This opens the save function - Again, the button "Don't Save" is highlighted and I hit enter and I get the save functionality.

   If i move the mouse to the button and click function works as should.

3. 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.

4. Perspective grid vertical axis has incorrect foreshortening

   The vertical axis of the perspective grid has an incorrect scale/foreshortening factor. For example, if you show a cube, it appears too tall.

5. 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.

6. Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list

   This is a 2 part issue:

   1. 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.

   2. 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 to the mask and outlining type.
      When the printer opened the file, it said it still had live type, however, when I opened the file and checked the find/replace fonts panel, even thought there was live text still within a transparency layer that I had missed, the document said there were no live fonts, see attached image!

7. Can't pick colors with eyedropper on groups

   The title... I can't pick colors with the eyedropper on grouped objects where the color is applied to the group. If I ungroup, the fill and stroke disappears from the object. This is so annoying.

9. Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default

   When I select a word, the Properties panel doesn’t detect the actual font and shows Myriad Pro by default. None of the text settings respond or update. The program doesn’t freeze, but the panel acts as if no text is selected. The same thing happens in the Control panel

12. Applying 3D effects crashes Ai, with errors from Geometry3D module

    These constant bugs in every update are really infuriating.
    When applying 3D effects (e.g., extrude or inflate), Illustrator 2025 v29.6.1 on macOS 14.5 (M4 Pro, 24GB RAM) crashes immediately.
    
    Crash report shows repeated errors from Geometry3D module and abort() called in main thread.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create a shape (e.g., rectangle or text)
    2. Apply 3D > Extrude or Inflate
    3. Sometimes applying materials also causes crash
    4. Illustrator immediately crashes without saving

    macOS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.5
    Illustrator Version: 29.6.1
    Chip: M4 Pro
    RAM: 24GB
    Crash module: Geometry3D

13. buscando lista de impresoras

    Al intentar abrir cualquier archivo en Illustrator el programa en lugar de abrir el archivo se queda cargando y dice obteniendo lista de impresoras, carga y vuelve a iniciar la carga, como un bucle.

    Al darle click en detener, el programa se bugea y solo me da la opción de cerrarlo.

14. Apply to All 'quick' action for Dimensions in Properties is slow

    Properties has a dedicated quick action for dimension objects, Apply to All (which should be a command instead we can access via top menu, here’s a request — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378)

    Pressing this applies the current settings of the current dimension selected to all of these on canvas.
    It’s S L O W. Even if I have just a dozen of these in the document, each time I change one, Ai goes numb for 15-20 seconds.
    Not OK.

15. Embedded Images Appear Desaturated or Greyed Out in Adobe Illustrator

    I'm experiencing an issue with Adobe Illustrator. Every time I try to embed an image, the image turns greyed out or desaturated. However, if I use the Crop Image function instead, the image appears correctly with the proper colors.

    I've tried this with different image files and it consistently happens when embedding, but not when cropping. I'm using Adobe illustrator 29.5.1 (64-bit), Windows 11, 24H2, 26100.4061

16. Bottom margins for labels are too small for Swatch Info objects in the column view (with no card backgrounds)

    If I choose to display Swatch Info card in a column, and choose to omit background cards, the result would have text lines too close to the chips below, like the attached image shows. It makes it feel like the text is not related to chips above, and forces us to use cards still to control 'space after' at least somehow, even when cards are not necessary.

    While the team hardcoded the 'space before' as a strict gap (again, hardly OK), they seem to forget to do the same for the bottom line.

    And if you pick this up, please don’t forget about this request as well:
    Allow to place cards next to color chips instead of always below for Swatch Info objects

17. Multiscreen display problem

    On Windows 11 pro. Multiscreen HP. Launching and Activating (to use), Adobe Illustrator causes multiscreen display, to reset to Landscape and also Disrupt other windows to Minimise and Maximise and change Portrait to Landscape format, without reason.

    This also occurs over one minute, which is a waste of time, when I'm regularly jumping into Adobe Illustrator.

    The layout display setup should be maintained and not be disrupted repeatedly. Please stop changing Windows display format and let the OS do the job.

    I can confirm this is a problem with Adobe Illustrator with a simple test. When I activate ALL other programs, the display returns back to normal, as I have setup. However as soon as I activate Adobe Illustrator, the multiscreen display is completely disrupted in my three(3) screen setup with one portrait view.

    Please fix. I'm unable to use Adobe Illustrator in this current state.

18. Incorrect Blend Mode Appearance When Opening Illustrator 2024 File in Illustrator 2025

    I’ve encountered a potential bug in Illustrator. When I open a file created in Illustrator 2024 (version 28.7.4) in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.2.1), the appearance applied to the text does not display correctly.

    For example, in the attached file, the text at the bottom changes to a completely different design when opened in Illustrator 2025, which is causing a significant problem.

19. [ExtendScript] Cannot set some TextRange.characterAttributes after TextFrame.resize.

    We cannot successfully set some TextFrame.textRange.characterAttributes after the TextFrame has been resized using TextFrame.resize.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1)

    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Create new document
    2. Run the below script

    Expected Result: all tests passed and no alert message appears.

    Actual result: Failed to set characterAttributes.size to 12.

    Script:

    (function () {
    
        var doc = app.activeDocument,
            textFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
    
        textFrame.textRange.contents = 'Hello.';
    
        textFrame.resize(200, 200);
    
        textFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 12;
        if (textFrame.textRange.characterAttributes.size !== 12)
            alert('Failed to set characterAttributes.size to 12');
    
    })();
    

    NOTE: some other character attributes are "unsettable" also, eg. leading.
