1. 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.

2. 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 happens makes quite a dent in productivity, and it's really easy to accidentally scale it by too much due to this bug.

   If you can resize it to be wider but still staying onscreen, you can then again drag the handle in the lower-right to see how it is behaving - it resizes very rapidly using the handle as the anchor point for the transform, rather than the left edge staying fixed and the handle moving as expected.

   Uservoice won't let me attach screen recordings, I can provide as needed.

   Expected behaviour:
   Dragging the handle in the lower-right would resize the dropdown by scaling from the upper-left corner, and the window would 'stay' where the cursor was released.

   Win 11, Illustrator v 29.5.1 (but has been present for previous versions as well, I don't recall when I first encountered this bug but it's been a while).

3. 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.

5. Illustrator keep blacking out the top part of my artboard.

   My version of Illustrator: 29.5.1 running on Windows 11:
   Keeps blacking out the top portion of my window. I can scroll a little and make it go away, but it sure is annoying and sometimes won't go away.

6. 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 (there was a problem with that: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37832167), but not fully when it comes to book colors.

   The only way to workaround is to temporarily switch the document’s color mode into RGB (and not to forget to undo this later).

7. 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

8. 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.

9. 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 still not functioning as expected.

   Additionally, resetting Bridge to its default settings restores all .ai file associations to IllustratorDiagnosys 29.3.1.

   It seems that something in the file association preferences was modified, not just affecting Bridge, but the entire system.

10. Glitchy Application

12. 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.

13. 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!

19. 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

20. buscando lista de impresoras
