Hello, in illustrator 29.4 and 29.5 (on windows 11 pro) I can't preview the path while i am drawing with the pencil tool. I checked all the settings and everything is set to see it. I had to downgrade to illustrator 29.2 to use it again

Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled
While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.
Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.
Anyone else has the same issue?

拡大縮小
バージョン30.0で拡大縮小ツールで「パターンの変形」のみを行おうとした際、ダイアログ上で「オブジェクトの変形」「パターンの変形」の両方のチェックが入った状態（もしくはオブジェクトの変形からパターンの変形に変更）から、「オブジェクトの変形」のチェックを外して「パターンの変形」のチェックのみにして実行するとパターンの変形が何度やっても実行されない。（最初から「パターンの変形」のみにチェックが入っていた場合のみパターンの変形が実行される）
場合によっては、その後のオブジェクトの拡大縮小も挙動がおかしくなるので再起動が必要になる。
なお、他の変形ツールに関しては未確認。2 votes -
Color changes (and other things) do not change until I click on the page somewhere in Illustrator 2026
As in the title. I cannot see the changes I've made (fill color, stroke color, or fill/stroke flip) until I click on the page. Also after working on a file for some time, the "info" data stops working. i.e. the height and width (of an object) show zero instead of a number value. Restarting the app fixes it, but only temporarily.
Note: these same things are happening on 2 (completely different computers). One is a high-powered Alienware Area 51 desktop, the other is a high-powered Dell.

File New dialog is invisible with two monitors
When i click the "New" button in the homepage, the window that has all the settings to create a new document is invisible, it doesn't appear, but the arrow of my mouse shows me that it can interact with the window, but it doesn't show. I use another monitor and i have found online that illustrator tends to have bugs while having a second monitor.

Moving several points of an area type or type on path causes "undo"
I am no longer able to move multiple anchor points for text on a path in v30 (GPU mode).
I'm using a Studio M2 Max with MacOS 15.5..The attached video demonstrates this behavior. I have two duplicate paths. While using "View using GPU" I try to edit multiple nodes on the text path. What happens is:
- the preview of the path disappears while I'm trying to move the nodes.
- the entire line moves, even though I've only selected a few nodes.
- my type was replaced with the "Lorem Ipsum" text (this happens intermittently, not every time).
But, when I…

Not Getting "Overwrite notification" when exporting using "File/Export/Export as..."
This only started happening recently and I'm not sure what to do to fix it. Whenever I export a file using the "Export as..." feature, I'll navigate to the location where it was previously exported and click the "Export" button. I used to get an overwrite notification asking if I wished to do so and I'd just click yes or no. Now, for some reason, that notification isn't triggering and Adobe Illustrator is just overwriting. I tried using Windows Explorer to copy and paste a file to the same location, and Windows "does" give the standard notification to confirm overwrite.…

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 shapeexpected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
actual result: filled shape is seen during drawingI 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…
5 votesFixed and works as it should do in Beta 30.0.0.72 — please try to install it (or update if it’s installed) and verify if it works for you, before it gets pushed into General build.

Values in W / H fields in Transform dropdown from Control don’t get updated while editing another field with Constrain Proportions enabled
When editing an object, click in the Height or Width input box and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to decrease the value. When changing one value (e.g. height), the other value is not updated. You must exit the window and return to it to see the value.

Dotted Guides are not precise in GPU preview
Guides should allow us to be sure about alignment.
And while in CPU it’s mostly true, in GPU preview dotted guides get drawn 1 pixel off.
These should perfectly overlap the edges of the object aligned!Look at the GIF attached
If you notice a bug with the bounding bounding box not getting displayed when I select the rectangle in the CPU Preview mode — it’s a separate Beta-only bug, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/50759876

Circle with thin stroke aligned inside has artifacts in GPU Preview
I’ve noticed that when I draw a circle with a diameter of 250 mm and a stroke thickness of 0.25 pt, with the stroke alignment set to inside, and then draw another circle with the same stroke thickness but a diameter of 230 mm, the smaller circle shows irregularities in the stroke line (see images).
When the stroke alignment is set to center, however, the circle is displayed correctly.
This issue isn’t serious, I just noticed it while working.2 votes -
アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される ／ Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard
再現手順
1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される回避策
- ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
- 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。
- MacOS14（Sonoma）+Illustrator2025（29.5）で確認
- Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
- これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである
表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document in Illustrator.
- In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
- A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.
Workaround:
- Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
- Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.
Notes:
- Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).
- Also confirmed…14 votes -
Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

Exclusive to Mac Version: Lines Appear in PDF/x-4 Files, Not Present in Windows Version
When placing a compatible PSD file (*1) into an AI document and exporting it as PDF/x-4, there has long been a bug where black lines appear on the edges of transparent areas. This issue has been fixed in the Windows version, but it remains unresolved in the Mac version, even in version 2024.
The issue does not occur in the Windows version, even with the same version of Illustrator. It only happens on the Mac version.
It occurs whether the PSD is linked or embedded.
Even if an AI file is created on Windows and has no problems in the…125 votes -
Picking Eyedropper temporarily disables Smart Guides
As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1p6ecuj/behavior_of_eyedropper_tool_changed_recently/
In previous versions (can’t say for sure now when it stopped) we were able to aim with the Eyedropper better, when Smart Guides were enabled. In CC 2017 it works. Was quite helpful to pick color from a stroke, highlighting the object that is going to be sampled. Cool, right?
But now, I suppose with the Photoshop-style sampling rings glued on, Illustrator forgot it’s a vector program. The sampling ring should not disable Smart guides!
I somewhat get why pressing Shift might disable it, because Shift enables the 'sample by pixel' mode, and picking a color…

フォントの表示がおかしい
本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。4 votes
