Illustrator automatically changing colors
When you place image (RGB) into Illustrator it would preserve the color profile. Now it changes it automatically and this seems to be a common problem if you search the internet. Fix it as it makes this program far less useful.

Smooth Blend Tool Broken
On the Mac OS, when blending between two shapes using the smooth blend tool, 7/10 times the blend will not be smooth but have one step between the shapes. I can instead create lots of steps as a work-around, but the designated tool does not work. If the shapes are separated far enough, more (but few) steps will appear.
In the images below, you will see an attempted blend between a dark green gradient square, and a light green square. I am using the smooth blend tool.

Falla al guardar los documentos de ilustrator
Al momento de guardar los documentos, por muy sencillo que sea, solo trazos básico, no importa lo que contenga, siempre se demora muchísimo al guardar, y al hacerlo, la pantalla se vuelve negra y solo se visualizan algunas ventanas de herramientas, y queda todo en negro hasta que regresa a la normalidad cuando finalmente guardó los cambios. Estoy trabajando con la última actualización (25.2.1), hoy la desinstale y la volví a instalar para ver si tenía alguna mejoría, pero sigue igual.

Discard white overprint is disabled when background save is enabled
- version 24.x
- Windows and macOS
- background save enabled
At this time, the operation related to discarding the white overprint is not performed and the settings is invalidated.
The behavior itself is the same as another bug, but it is not completely fixed 24.1.x.

Inconsistent color
With the new CC update, I can't calibrate colour across apps using Color Settings in Bridge. This started happening often on the previous release, but I was able to fix it by resetting this in Bridge. Now, it doesn't work. See attached – same Pantone colour (50% of Pantone Bridge 7500) in InDesign and Illustrator. The InDesign is accurate; Illustrator is not. Nothing I do seems to help. I may revert to older Bridge and Photoshop until you sort this out.

AI loses GPU support when using rulers or accessing grouped elements
Hello @ Adobe!
Both of my macs (Big Sur, latest updates) show the same reproducible bug with Adobe Ai Version 25 (incl. 25.2): GPU support works just fine when I open a new document and start from scratch. Turning on Rulers or accessing grouped elements by double click instantly turns off GPU support wich I cannot turn back on. After that Ai responds slowly and overall it’s no pleasure to work with. To fix this I need to make sure that in a document all rulers and guides are switched off/deleted. With these measures I can reopen the document and…4 votes -
smart guides not working in clipping mask
I have had this problem for probably the last 3 versions or more ... but generally, when I've masked a number of objects inside of a clipping mask, then double-click to edit the contents inside the clipping mask, smart guides no longer function. Or, more correctly, very occasionally they will, but generally not.
I always update to the latest versions of Illustrator. Currently I'm using 25.2.1

"What's new" reminder will not stop appearing every time I start Illustrator.
the 'see what's new' reminder in the upper right will not stop appearing every time I start Illustrator. Deleting preferences doesn't help. Clicking remind later is getting to be annoying.

Illustrator 2021 (25.1.0) slows, freezes, crashes every 1-3 hours.
I have tried to use Illustrator 25.1.0 on 3 different laptops, ALL instances resulted in the same problem. The application will perform normally for a while, then at some point, typically between 1-3 hours of constant use, the function you are asking for via mouse input will freeze. (examples: moving a text box or shape, highlighting text, etc.) Sometimes the freeze will be preceded by a slight slow down in responsiveness. Once there is a freeze, the menu pull downs are inoperable too, so you can't ask it to save. When it freezes, a recovery file may or may not…

Cannot open cloud documents on another device
I have an iMac and Macbook Pro both running Catalina, I am using both AI 2020 and 2021 (on both devices) as I have a plugin that is not yet supported on 2021.
This problem occurs on both devices and both versions of AI, when I work on one device and save to cloud, I cannot then open the saved file on the other device. This works in both directions, no matter which device/version I create the file on. I have to close down illustrator completely and/or restart the device (which is crazy as it is so detrimental to workflow).…4 votes -

作成したガイドレイヤーを削除すると、消えずに増える
- macOS(Mojave 10.14.6) Illustrator2021(25.2.3)およびIllustrator2018頃から 2.レイヤーパネル上で作成されたガイドレイヤーを削除。 (この時のガイドレイヤーは同一環境で作成された.Aiデータの場合も、別環境で作成された.Aiデータの場合も含みます。また、削除に関してもレイヤーパネル下部ボタンでの削除、キーボードのdeleteを使用した場合どちらも含みます。）
- ガイドレイヤーが、通常のレイヤー同様に削除される。
- ガイドレイヤーは削除されず、何も描画されていないように見える空のレイヤー(レイヤー名はガイドレイヤー)が複製される。元の削除操作を行ったレイヤーは複製されたレイヤー同様に何も描画されていないように見える空のレイヤーになる。再度、複製されたレイヤーと元の削除したいレイヤーをレイヤーパネル上でまとめて選択し削除すると通常通りに消える。

Illustrator keeps shutting when I try to save my work and all of my work is lost.
It should have an autosave option or a restore work option when it quits unexpectedly. But also there is a but when trying to save
a document that shuts Illustrator and I've lost hours of work due to it so that needs to get fixed.3 votes -
Illustrator CC 2020 Saving Unknown Error
Illustrator won't let me save my files. I've tried to open another new file to save my files and the same error has occurred unless I have the "Create PDF Compatible File" option turned off. I have never encountered this before and this is my first time encountering this problem.

No tools available
Mac OSX 11.4 (20F71). Illustrator 25.3.1
Very often when working in a document (either a new document or an existing document) the tool I am using will change to a crossed-through pencil and beep whenever I attempt to do anything. I have to restart the app, and this often does not restore the tools to a functioning state. This is incredibly annoying and renders Illustrator virtually useless.1 vote -
Export as SVG does not properly respect letter-spacing style on text
When saving as SVG, the exporter temperamentally interprets letter-spacing as either 0 (no style exported) or "1". E.g. within Illustrator I might set letter-spacing to 185, this would be exported as just "1" without a unit. Furthermore, if I open the file again, Illustrator interprets this as "90", and if I save again, the exporter exports without any letter-spacing.

"Color A Vector" learning practice page comes in already completed instead of a prepped canvas.
"Color A Vector" learning practice page comes in already completed instead of a prepped canvas, so nothing changes when proceeding through the practice steps. This causes confusion and wasted time because nothing was changing as if I was doing something wrong. I added a few screenshots to show some of the steps, and where the picture was already at the desired settings to complete the steps. Could this be fixed so that I am actually creating the image? I left my best contact email which is different from my business email linked to my account. I am using a Toshiba…
