  1. Area Type text disappears after editing in Illustrator 30.6 (macOS), Composer recomposition causes inconsistent rendering

    [Environment]
    •Application: Adobe Illustrator 30.6
    •Platform: macOS
    •Language: Korean UI
    •Text Type: Area Type
    •Composer: Japanese Composer
    •Language Options: East Asian Options enabled

    [Summary]
    While editing an Area Type text frame, several characters near the end of the text were modified. Immediately afterward, a portion of the text disappeared.
    The text itself still exists and is selectable, but is no longer rendered correctly.
    The issue is also reproduced in exported PDF files.
    Creating outlines renders all missing text correctly.
    Changing the Composer temporarily restores the missing text, but introduces different layout corruption (first-line indentation becomes incorrect).
    Creating a brand-new Area…

  2. Illustrator not snapping to guides while holding shift key

    Illustrator 30.6 Mac is not snapping to guides while holding shift key.

    When creating a square, so I'm holding the shift key to constrain, it will not snap to a guide. If I let go of the shift key, then it does snap to the guide——but then I don't have an actual square! Why does it not snap to guide if I'm holding the shift key?! Makes now sense, and makes using Illustrator so frustrating. Slows my work down.

    Please fix!

    (Also, Illustrator is STILL NOT snapping to artboard edges--with Smart Guides on or off!)

  4. Opacity Slider Not Visible If Docked to Bottom

    If you dock top panel with tools and actions to the bottom you can't see the slider for Opacity at all. Other menus like "Stroke" and "Style" are popping up just fine.

  5. ENREGISTREMENT BLOQUÉ à 100% sans qu'il se termine

    Bonjour.
    Actuellement je suis bloqué sur un enregistrement de mon fichier ! Le l'enregistre, le pourcentage augmente et arrivé à 100% plus rien. L'enregistrement ne se termine pas. Et je ne peux rien faire. ça bloque toutes autres actions d'enregistrement. Aucune fenêtre aucun bouton pour arrêter l'enregistrement. Là j'ai 2 solutions bancales pour le sortir de là et éviter de perdre mon travail : copier mes dizaines de plan sur un nouveau fichier et espérer que cela s'enregistre ou dans un désespoir, forcer à quitter le logiciel et espérer que la récupération retrouve mon travail ne sachant pas si je…

  6. Latest update (30.6) = Extreme Slowdown

    Since the latest update (30.6), with latest MacOS, Illustrator has become almost unusable. Clicking on anything takes about 2-3 seconds and if you move or try to double-click – heaven help you...

    Needs an urgent fix!

  7. Sizes of vector art is NOT accurate

    When I select a vector graphic (a logo), I go to Transform to set the size.
    I set the size to 3in x 3in
    But when I PRINT and measure the graphic, it is NOT 3in x 3in.
    I have to set the graphic to 3.1in x 3.1in in order to output an actual 3in x 3in graphic

    This has caused me a LOT of issues when I am outputting graphics that need to be a specific size.

    WHY are the transform measurements NOT accurate?

  8. Export for Screens Inaccurate on Large-Size Canvas

    The export for screens, scaling by width option does not always export at the right size. For example, I will input 2000 pixels, but the exported images will be 20,000 pixels. Sometimes, it does output 2000 pixels as desired. I believe the pattern may be whether the file is a large-sized canvas or not, the large-size canvas being the inaccurate export. For the time, I have been using "200" to get 2,000 pixels. However, this feature is essential for exporting mockups of large-format prints as the true size is too large for sharing. Usually I am exporting JPG. I am…

  9. Regression: Freeform Gradient renders differently after scaling in Illustrator 30.5.1 (same AI file renders correctly in 29.0)

    Illustrator Versions

    • Illustrator 29.0 → Works correctly

    • Illustrator 30.5.1 → Incorrect rendering

    I found a rendering regression between Illustrator 29.0 and Illustrator 30.5.1.

    The exact same AI file renders differently depending on the Illustrator version.

    The artwork contains a Compound Path with a Freeform Gradient.

    In Illustrator 29.0, the rendering is correct.

    In Illustrator 30.5.1, after scaling the object, the color interpolation changes unexpectedly.

    Most noticeably, the letter "o" changes its rendered appearance even though the Freeform Gradient control points remain exactly the same.


    1. Open the attached AI file.

    2. Select the Compound Path containing the "only" logo.

    3. Scale…

  10. The alignment tool isn't working

    STOP UPDATES NOW
    The alignment tool isn't working right now. Thanks. Why don't you find another job instead of justifying your salary by causing more damage to the software.

  11. "Move art with artboard" always moves pattern tiles, ignoring the "transform pattern tiles" pref.

    First observed on 2026 (30.3). Also found on 2020, I'm gonna assume this has existed as long as "move art with artboard" has been around. I was doing some work with a lot of large patterns and wanted to move the whole thing relative to their origin without redefining a bunch of graphic styles. Very unexpected behavior.

    I would not be surprised if "scale art with artboard" also ignores the "transform pattern tiles" setting but the patterns I was using make that hard to check, so I didn't. Please check this too and fix it if it's also misbehaving. :)

  12. MAJOR ISSUE: The new update does not let you decouple horizontal and vertical sizes!!

    The new update does not let you decouple horizontal and vertical sizes. I've unlocked them and toggled every possible option. Ex: I have a 3x5 shape, and want to make it 4x5. It will ONLY make it 4x6.7516 in. HUGE ISSUE.

  13. Illustrator incorrectly renders scaled transparent PSD images while transparent TIFF renders correctly

    Incorrect edge rendering when scaling transparent PSD images placed in Adobe Illustrator

    Full reproducible test package (including the PSD) is available here:
    https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dRNiKNw2IavAY_gcLM7166Iw8rU_dQAg?usp=share_link

    Environment
    • Adobe Illustrator (latest Creative Cloud version)
    • macOS (latest version)
    • Fully updated Creative Cloud applications

    Summary
    We found a reproducible rendering issue affecting transparent raster images placed into Illustrator.
    Two files (PSD and TIFF) were created from the exact same source artwork.
    They contain:
    • identical pixel content
    • identical dimensions
    • identical transparency
    The only difference between them is the file format.

    Illustrator renders these files differently when they are placed and scaled.

  14. テキストが消えます

    Illustrator2025以降のバージョンで、入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまいます。
    テキストを入力→保存→ファイルを閉じる→開き直す と入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまうことがあり、入力し直しになります。
    テキストをを平打ちした時とエリア内テキスト両方で同じ症状が起きています。
    Illustrator2024ではそのようなことはありませんでした。

  15. Intertwine group + opacity mask = crash on save.

    Title says it all, really.

    Initially discovered on 30.1, the oldest version I tried it on was 27.8.1 which feels old enough to say this may have been there since intertwine first showed up. Still there in 30.3.

    Reproduction case is attached.

  16. Linked files are displayed broken when opened

    My linked files are not working properly about 40% of the time. When I open them, they often display outdated colors, overlapping artwork, or other incorrect content. This issue has been happening consistently for almost five months, and it's becoming extremely frustrating.

    Sometimes everything works perfectly, but on days like today, every single linked file is incorrect. My only workaround is to repeatedly restart Illustrator—sometimes 20 times a day—and I've also tried restarting my computer, but the problem keeps coming back.

    This ongoing issue is having a significant impact on my workflow, and I would really appreciate any help identifying…

  19. Envelope distort: Changing warp option keeps previous selection

    I just updated to 30.5.1 yesterday and went to make a checkerboard flag. I made the checkerboard as a compound path and chose Envelope Distort from the Object menu. The initial selection was Bulge, which distorted my flat flag into a bulging flag. I then selected flag and it added the flag mesh on top of the bulge mesh..

    I tried selecteing other warp options and each one I picked, was added to the flag. Mind you, I have NOT selected OK. I'm just flipping through the warp options.

    I then selected cancel, but all the envelope distortions were applied.…
