Add Anchor Point shortcut doesn't work
Pen tool. When I want to use the option 'add anchor point' with the shortcut "+" (the default one), it opens the bucket instead.
I check the shortcut options and it is correct (+ for add anchor point, not bucket's).
Release 25.2.1 64 bit / Windows 10 build 19041.508. Spanish version.

Selection Highlight stops working
After working on a file for several minutes or hours ... the selection highlight feature stops working. The active selection is not highlighted. Sometimes, if I move it around, is starts to work. Other times, it does not work even if I move it around. It gets annoying when I'm trying to work fast and I do not know what I have selected to apply a modification.
Seems to go away when I restart AI, but it is not practical be restarting AI every-time I open a new file to work on or copy from.

Text on path gets selected when you marquee over empty space
When I need to select something under the arc, like it’s shown in the GIF attached, I can use marquee and the the type object gets selected.
Why?
Did I click the path? No.
Did I click the text? No.
That’s just the 'Illustrator’s way'. Can you make an option to disable this nonsense?16 votes -
Background Save works but it thinks it's not working! v25.2.1
I'm having an issue described in an older bug report (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/39029392-background-save-works-but-it-thinks-it-s-not-worki): open files stay marked as having unsaved changes when they are saved.
This is reportedly fixed in v25 but I'm on 25.2.1 and have this exact same problem. Not with every file and not every time, but it happens.

Can’t zoom out after editing a text
When I zoom in on text with a magnifying glass.
Then switch to the text tool, change the text and switch back to the magnifying glass, then I can no longer zoom out with the Alt key.
I have to switch to the selection tool first. And then back to the magnifying glass to zoom out with the alt key. Does that make any sense?
When I want to zoom out with the Alt key, the hand always appears to move.
Only when I have switched to the selection tool and then back to the magnifying glass, the minus symbol…2 votes -
copying from more than one layer
On Macbook, Big Sur OS, Illustrator V25.2.1, CC.
Illustrator only copies from one layer when objects from multiple layers are selected. Attached is a video where I select paths from two layers and attempt the methods; ALT+Drag, Transform-COPY, and CMD-C + CMD-F to copy the desired objects.
Each time illustrator selects the paths I want, but only ever copies the paths from one layer. Even when using transform, illustrator previews all the paths, but when I choose COPY, it then reverses and only copies the top layer.1 vote -

Warped Object moves up artboard when changing Bend or Distortion
- Using Windows 10, latest version, and Adobe Illustrator V 25.1 (but this has occurred in every version of AI I've ever owned)
- After I warp an object, if I change the Bend or Distortion amount in the Top Toolbar the object shifts up the artboard. This happens whether I input an amount and hit enter, or if I just use the arrow keys to increase or decrease an amount. Additionally, if I go into the Object>Envelope Distort>Reset with Warp menu, it shifts up.
- I would expect the object to remain in the same place on the artboard, and change the…

Entire GUI Break at random intervals
1.)
Adobe Illustrator Version: 25.1
OS: 64x Windows 10 Home 1909
CPU: I7 7700
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 8gb
RAM: 2133MHz 48gbWhile using Illustrator, at random intervals the application's GUI breaks in a manner of which I have never previously encountered until today.
The error has seemingly little to no correlation to the actions I was performing prior the time the bug, gltich, error, what ever you want to call it, and the only way for me to continue using the application and keep any unsaved data is to force quit the application and reopen it and proceed from…

Illustrator 25.3.1 Will Not Open
At least two of the computers in our office are having issues with the latest Illustrator update 25.3.1. The program does not open when selecting a file and performing Open With>Adobe Illustrator 2021. The program does not open from the start menu. The program does not open directly from the Illustrator.exe file. If you try to uninstall Illustrator with Creative Cloud, it tells you that you can't because the program is open. If you go to the Task Manager with less detail, Illustrator does not show open, however, if you select more detail, you may see 14 or more processes…

Illustrator Crash/Not Running
Operating System: Windows 10
Version: Adobe Illustrator 25.3.1After the last update, some of my documents on Creative Cloud do not open, unless I create duplicate and run the duplicate.
The updated Illustrator crashes more often, specially if I have a lot of layers.

Illustrator auto added a level 1 layer to wrap all layers after saving as SVG.
- Windows 10.
- Adobe Illustrator 25.2.1.
- Save any .ai file that has multiple layers as SVG then open the saved SVG file with Illustrator .
- Expected: Keep the same layers as the ai file. Actual result:All layers were wrapped by a new layer automatically.

Illustrator Closes multiple menu items
Dear Adobe
I have recently come across a bug when multiple files are open in illustrator. When you close one of them it closes them all.
Please can you kindly investigate this. It is an absolute pain when saving out multiple logo files.
It might be my latest software update
Look forward to hearing from you
Best wishes
Jay
Look foward to heariong from you

Beta 25.4 – Crashing when in isolation mode (Big Sur 11.4)
I'm running both the Apple Silicon Beta version (25.4) of Illustrator and 25.3.1 via the Rosetta emulator, and having the same issue across both. Huge amounts of lag occur when double clicking an object to enter isolation mode. At first I thought it was because the file I was working on had a bunch of linked images, but now even new files with a single vector object drawn will have the same lag issue. A shutdown of the machine sees a new file operate as expected, until I enter isolation mode, and then the same issue occurs. Close that file,…

GPU support crashes reproducibly on different Macs (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.x)
The hole GPU support with Illustrator 2021 is broken on the Mac with Big Sur since the release of CC 2021 (Mac OS 10.3 + Ai 25.2.3). GPU support works with a blank document. The GPU support crashes reproducibly: switch on rulers > GPU crashes, open document with guides > GPU crashes, double click on grouped elements > GPU crashes, resize artboard > GPU crashes. Several upates went by without help. Every (!) colleague I have spoken to has struggles with the same bug since the release of Ai 2021. Both of my Macs (iMac i9 with Vega48 & M1…
