  1. COMMAND F (PASTE IN PLACE) NOT WORKING!!!

    paste in place is not working all of a sudden. Command F acts like command V. It just pastes randomly. Even selecting paste in place from the menu doesn't work. This is incredibly annoying and the enemy of precision. PLEASE RESTORE!!!!

  3. Place cloud assets and opening cloud documents

    1. Can't place cloud images, literally NOTHING happens. I have to restart computer to be able to place images. Sometimes not even restarting. I thought it was better to keep assets on adobe cloud, I think is better to have them stored somewhere else and used them as files. :/ Cloud is giving WAAAY too much sync problems.

    2. At least twice a week I'm not able to open documents because it says I'm not the user linked to that file, and I have to REINSTALL all apps! I'm getting tired.

  4. Drop shadows in .ai files hide original object

    When drop shadows are applied to placed images and the file is saved, only the drop shadow shows up both in the preview on MacOS, as well as when importing to InDesign or Photoshop. RGB or CMYK (in Illustrator) doesn't matter, the placed object is always missing.

  5. Color management keeps getting activated when opening files with placed images

    When opening Illustrator file with placed file containing color profile Illustrator automatically actives custom color management profiles even if previously color management was deactivated.

    1. OS version: macOS 15.7.4, Illustrator version: 30.5.1

    2. Steps to reproduce:

    3. With no document open, set color management settings to "Emulate Illustrator 6.0" to deactivate color management.

    4. Create new document, add an image with an embedded color profile, save the file and close it.

    5. Expected behaviour:

    6. On reopening the document the existing color management setting is honored (stays set to "Emulate Illustrator 6.0"), and no query is made to provide color profile settings for the opened file.

  6. 100% size is shown too big when a document is opened the first time, in 30.5.1

    New version – new bugs.
    Open Ai 30.5.1.

    First opening of a document: 100% view (command-1) is displayed too big (like 150%).

    Closing the document.

    Opening documents now: 100% view is displayed correctly.

  7. Illustrator on macOS 26.5 hanging on start

    In the past few weeks I'm seeing Adobe Illustrator both 2025 and 2026 are not responding on mac at start up. It's variable, yesterday it was fine, today it's not. Extremely unproductive and disruptive.

    Sometimes the first document selection screen appears but then goes to Not Responding.

  8. Global Edit no longer works for additional groups inside other groups

    AI 30.5 Win 11

    If I have multiple instances of a group and want to change all at once, I can use Global Edit and then isolate the group to make my changes. But now once inside isolate mode, I can no longer use additional global edits to change multiple groups inside of the main group, as once inside global edit the only option in the select menu is to exit global edit.

    So for instance I have 5 of the same group A, and these are then grouped together to make Group B. I then have 5 instances of…

  9. Transform Each for linked images affects the firstly selected ones only, ignoring those added to a selection later with a marquee

    As found by @SugarT2O (https://x.com/SugarT2O/status/2064603604322066447), when selecting linked images in several steps, adding them to selection with Shift held, Ai would apply Transform Each only to the first selection made, ignoring those added to the selection with subsequent marqueeing.

    Steps are quite simple.
    1. Add 2 linked images in a document.
    2. Select one on canvas (a click is fine)
    3. Hold Shift and marquee (not click!) the other one
    4. Call Transform Each and input something like 150% in Width

    Notice only the first image selected is affected.
    A ridiculous bug!

  11. Adobe Illustrator 2026 Crashes with Uncompressed TIFF (Compression: None)

    Dear Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,

    I am reporting what appears to be a compatibility regression or TIFF parsing issue that causes Adobe Illustrator to crash consistently when opening documents containing specific TIFF images saved with Compression = None (Uncompressed TIFF).

    Adobe Illustrator 2026 on Windows
    Standard TIFF, no compression
    Interleaved (RGBRGB) pixel order
    IBM PC (Little Endian) byte order

    Illustrator crashes immediately when opening or placing TIFF files saved without compression.

    The same files become fully functional after being re-saved using LZW compression, without any changes to image content, dimensions, color mode, bit depth, or metadata.

    This behavior strongly suggests…

  13. Cancelling the Print progress dialog leaves document unsaveable — Cmd+S silently no-ops (Illustrator 30.5.1 / macOS 26)

    Cancelling Illustrator's Print dialog before the print job finishes leaves the
    active document in a partially-locked state ("limbo"): the canvas still responds to
    interaction (you can pan/move the artwork), but File → Save / Cmd+S silently does
    nothing
    — no save dialog, no write, no error. The document cannot be saved through
    the normal UI and must be recovered through scripting or force-quit + data recovery.

    In the observed case the affected document had never been saved to disk, so all work existed only in memory. A user who trusts Cmd+S (which reports no error) can lose everything if the…

  14. agregar muestras en la ventana de texto

    que la ventana de texto incorpore el poder pintar una palabra seleccionada sin tener que ir al panel de muestras ya que al hacerlo se debe volver a seleccionar la palabra, asi seria mas rapido para la contrucion de logos o titulos poder desde la misma ventana de texto, pintar la palabra, cambiarle la tipografía, etc.

  15. Blend menu options not available when blend objects are selected (MacOS)(Illustrator 30.5.1)

    I've created a couple of Blend objects in Adobe Illustrator. When I attempt to expand those blends into individual vector objects via the Object/Blend menu, all the options in the menu are greyed out. Despite the blend being selected , not double-clicked into (not in isolation mode) or any other object being selected.

  16. キャンセルの位置 / Cancel button in Save dialog changed position in 30.5.1

    キャンセル/保存しない/保存のダイヤログの位置が30.5.1より入れ替わっている。
    30.5.1以前は保存しない/キャンセル/保存だったような気がするのですが
    位置が入れ替わっているようで作業効率が悪いです。

  18. Saving as SVG changed in 30.5.1 and no longer respects artboard

    Beginning with version 30.5.1 (apparently), the full size of the artboard is no longer used when saving to SVG, but instead the bounds are reduced to fit the artwork. This is breaking my workflow with tools used downstream where I need the fixed sized artboard that I'm using. I reverted to version 30.4, and the problem went away.

  20. Incorrect command names in Exporting Icons tutorial

    For the Illustrator tutorial: Exporting icons
    In the instructions it says Hide Rulers but it should be Show Rulers
    Also in the instructions it says Unlock Guides but it should say Lock Guides.
    With tutorials in general need to specify the Workspace because some workspaces offer different options than others and can be missing when doing a tutorial.

    I use Windows Pro 11, Illustrator 30.5.1
