1. Can’t place an object between unfurled groups in Layers

   If you have two groups unfurled in Layers — good luck in positioning an object between them in Layers. Any spot you drop it in will move it into either group, like the first attached GIF shows.

   And if the object is originally within a group, you’d have to move it outside first, collapse both groups and only then put it in-between... when you have a complex layer structure it can be very painful.

   Unlike in Photoshop (GIF 2), Send Backwards / Send to Back won’t move the object outside of the group, and dragging the layer to the left side of the tree doesn’t work s well — in Photoshop it just works, in Illustrator we get the 'forbidden' cursor.

2. 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 an existing file or create a new one.
   • Select an object (e.g., a rectangle) and check the Properties panel.
   • Notice that the panel does not display the full options as it did in v29.2.1.

   Expected Behavior:

   The Properties panel should display all relevant options for the selected object, as it did in v29.2.1.

   Actual Behavior:

   The Properties panel only shows limited options (e.g., "Rectangle" and "Quick Actions") and does not display the full range of properties for the selected object.

   Request for Assistance:

   Please investigate and address this issue in a future update. If a workaround is available, I would appreciate guidance on how to resolve this while using v29.3.

   Done (Available in Prerelease)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   This is expected to be fixed in the latest Pre-release build 29.4.0.130. If this fix is going to be stable enough, it’d can be pushed into the next GA build.

3. Using 'Divide' Pathfinder action produces unexpected/incorrect results.

   Seems there is a bug in Pathfinder in Illustrator 29.7.1. When I use the 'divide' setting, it produces incorrect/unexpected results. Seems to be a new issue since upgrading.

4. Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or duplicating using Option drag Shift command. Illustrator v. 29.6.1

   Shift Constraint is not working properly when editing proportionally or when duplicating using Option drag Shift command. I'm surprised that as many updates as we are required to do, that the glitches and bugs are so prevalent than they used to be before constant updating. I'm beginning to think that updating isn't really about making the product better, but to keep folks paying their subscriptions.

5. Anti-Aliasing Method in PNG Options Resets to Type Optimized

   The Preview in PNG Options is fixed (previously reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/48119207), but the anti-aliasing method is not sticky anymore. It stays on Type Optimized between exports.

7. Export As does not respect Large Canvas scale (Illustrator 29.2.1)

   If you are in a "large canvas" document, when using the "Export As" menu to export PNG(s), the resulting files are 1/10th the dimensions they should be. For example, if I have 100" x 100" artboards and export them at 72dpi, the resulting images should be 7200x7200 pixels, but they are only 720x720 (but still at 72dpi). This happens with "Use Artboards" checked or unchecked, and only seems to affect PNG export and not other file types.

   I'm not sure what version this first appeared in, but I know that previous versions of Illustrator behaved correctly.

8. Stroke issues with text containers when exporting into SVG

   When exporting to SVG, text frames are interpreted as separate entities and inherit stroke/fill attributes from the text or group they are in. This results in unwanted strokes around the text frame itself. With other formats there are no issues.

   Attached a native-export-png and a result of a svg-export-png.

9. Cmd+Opt+Shift+M Erases Text

   OBSERVATION
   The keyboard shortcut Cmd+Opt+Shift+M will open the Character Window and highlight the current font, however this exceptionally incredible time saving shortcut works only if the text is selected and not highlighted.

   While the text is highlighted, performing the Cmd+Opt+Shift+M shortcut, simply erases the highlighted text.

   EXPECTED RESULTS
   The mechanics of this shortcut, many versions ago, performed the expected function, whether the text was highlighted or selected.

   Illustrator: 29.7
   OSX: Sequoia 15.5

12. Drag and Drop lag

    Whenever dragging vector objects in a file, Illustrator lags, the waiting circle appears, and takes several seconds to place the object where I dropped it. Working becomes almost impossible when a simple task such as this takes this long. Illustrator 29.6.1, macOS Sequoia 15.6.

14. Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes

    When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.

    Steps to recreate:
    turn off real-time drawing & editing
    select random fill color
    select shape tool
    draw shape

    expected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
    actual result: filled shape is seen during drawing

    I tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).

    There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline as expected.

15. STAR-tool en Shear-transformatie in Illustrator 2025

    Shear-transformatie vervormt TORX-vormen gemaakt met STAR-tool sinds recente update.

    Sinds kort ondervind ik problemen bij het gebruik van de STAR-tool in combinatie met de Shear-transformatie in Adobe Illustrator 2025. Ik gebruik deze tool regelmatig om TORX-vormen te maken (ster met 6 afgeronde punten). Vroeger kon ik deze vorm probleemloos transformeren in perspectief met de Shear Tool. Nu leidt dezelfde handeling tot vervormde en onbruikbare resultaten.

    Ik heb dit getest op een nieuwe computer met een verse installatie van Illustrator 2025. Het probleem lijkt te ontstaan wanneer afgeronde hoeken (live corners) worden toegepast. Na het toepassen van Object > Expand Appearance werkt de transformatie zoals verwacht, wat suggereert dat het probleem te maken heeft met hoe Illustrator omgaat met live effecten.

    Stappen om te reproduceren:
    1. Maak een ster met 6 punten via de STAR-tool.
    2. Rond de hoeken af via het Properties-paneel.
    3. Pas een Shear-transformatie toe.
    4. Observeer de vervorming van de vorm.

    Verwacht gedrag:
    De vorm zou in perspectief moeten worden gezet zonder vervorming, zoals in eerdere versies van Illustrator.

    Huidig gedrag:
    De vorm vervormt op een ongewenste manier, waardoor het resultaat niet bruikbaar is.

    Bijlage:
    Afbeelding met voorbeeld van het probleem.

17. [ExtendScript] Cannot set TextRange.justification to value in ParagraphStyle

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

    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 textRange.justification to LEFT.

    Script:

    (function () {
    
        var doc = app.activeDocument,
            textFrame = doc.textFrames.add();
    
        textFrame.textRange.contents = 'Hello.';
    
        // prepare for the test, ensuring - due to the bug - that the justification won't match the applied paragraph style
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
        // test RIGHT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.RIGHT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.RIGHT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to RIGHT.');
    
        // test CENTER justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.CENTER;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.CENTER)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to CENTER.');
    
        // test LEFT justification
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        if (textFrame.textRange.justification !== Justification.LEFT)
            alert('Failed to set textRange.justification to LEFT.');
    
    })();
    

    Additional note: in the link above, users discovered that performing a resize on the textFrame somehow removes the blockage and Justification.LEFT can be set afterwards. Perhaps it breaks the link to the paragraph style?

    Edit 2025-05-23: to add details about the possible link to the applied paragraph style.

    A possible temporary workaround:

    // set LEFT justification
    textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
    
    // now check it
    if (
        Justification.LEFT !== textFrame.textRange.justification
        && Justification.LEFT === textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification
    ) {
        // bypass a bug where we can't set the attribute that matches the applied paragraph style:
        //  - change the applied paragraph style's justification
        //  - then change the textFrame's justification to the style's previous value,
        //  - then return the paragraph styles original setting
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.CENTER;
        textFrame.textRange.justification = Justification.LEFT;
        textFrame.textRange.paragraphStyles[0].justification = Justification.LEFT;
    }
    

    We cannot successfully set textFrame.textRange.justification to the value in the applied ParagraphStyle.

    For example, if the text has [Normal Paragraph Style] applied, which for me has Justification.LEFT, then I cannot set that text to have Justification.LEFT in cases where the justification has been changed.

    (Tested on MacOS 15.4.1 Adobe Illustrator 29.5.1, but this appears to be an old bug.)

20. 3D Materials Panel Causes Much Longer Document Load Times

    Regarding the 3D Effects Panel in Illustrator, it seems to take nearly 20 seconds when launching a new document if in the previous session the Panel was active. If the 3D Effects panel was not active, then the document loads much faster. It would be great to have Illustrator handle the load time better.

    I'm using Illustrator version 29.2.1 in MacOS WITH Sequoia 15.2 on an M4 Pro 48GB RAM.
