1. Bounding box with Use Preview Bounds get calculated wrong for a specific appearance applied

   When Use Preview Bounds is enabled, the bounding box doesn’t hug the object as expected, calculating the final dimensions wrong.
   Just open the faile attached, select the circle, go to the Appearance panel, double-click contents to access the only child of the group, and change the stroke. Once it's changed, the bounding box becomes larger than the actual bounds stays like this until the document is reloaded.

   Originally reported as a part of another bug, now fixed: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/44770009

2. Disabled Corner Widget still flashes when I click any of the bounding box’s controls

   I don’t use Corner Widget (I have superior tools for corners) and thus have it disabled in the View menu.
   However, each time I click (but not drag) side or corner markers of the bounding box, these pesky circles in sharp corners flash at me — like the GIF shows.

   ...why do I click it like this in the first place? I love clicking, I think.

3. Shapes move when scaling

   Window 11 Pro
   Ai verion: 30.6

   Make a square and add a stroke. Align stroke to center. Grab the top path with selection arrow and pull down. The square will decrease in size but the bottom of the square will move down a little. It should stay in place. This happens with outside aligned stroke as well, but not inside.

5. Extremely Sluggish after Using Edit Toolbar

   Picking any tool from Edit Toolbar will bring Illustrator to a crawl. Popups become unresponsive for around 5 seconds. If I start Illustrator while holding down Shift Ctrl Alt, it works great - but only when I do so. If I don't, it's back to being slow. Running Illustrator as an Administrator also makes it run great.

6. Object Selection and Text Editing Issues in Illustrator 2026

   Operating system and Adobe Illustrator desktop version:
   Adobe Illustrator desktop version: Illustrator 2026

   Steps to reproduce:

   Open a file in Adobe Illustrator 2026.
   Try to select an object using the Selection Tool.
   Try to select and edit a text object, including changing the font or text content.

   Expected result:
   Objects should be selected smoothly and accurately.
   The selection cursor/arrow should remain stable.
   Text objects and fonts should be selectable so that the text can be edited normally.

   Actual result:
   Objects cannot be selected or grabbed reliably.
   The selection cursor/arrow does not behave consistently.
   Text objects and fonts cannot be selected properly, so the text cannot be edited.
   The issue still occurs even after restarting the computer.

   Attachment:
   I can provide an Illustrator file or screen recording if needed.

8. 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 Type frame and pasting the identical text completely resolves the issue.

   [Workflow]
   The document was created as follows:
   Original document created in Adobe InDesign.
   Exported as PDF.
   Text copied from the PDF.
   New Illustrator document created.
   New Area Type text frames created manually in Illustrator.
   Text pasted into the new Area Type frame.
   No Illustrator document was converted from older versions.

   [Steps to Reproduce]
   Although the issue cannot currently be reproduced consistently, the following sequence produced the problem.
   1. Create a new Area Type text frame.
   2. Paste Korean text copied from a PDF exported from InDesign.
   3. Edit several characters near the end of the paragraph.
   4. Part of the text suddenly disappears.

   [Expected Result]
   •Text remains visible after editing.
   •Paragraph composition remains unchanged except for edited characters.

   [Actual Result]
   •Part of the text disappears.
   •Text object still contains all characters.
   •No text overflow exists.
   •Exported PDF also contains the missing text.
   •Creating Outlines displays all missing text correctly.

   [Investigation Performed]
   The following tests were performed.
   [Font substitution]
   Changed the font to another Korean font.
   [Result]
   Issue remained identical.

   [Text Overflow]
   Verified that no Area Type overflow existed.
   [Result]
   No overflow.

   [Reset Bounding Box]
   Object → Transform → Reset Bounding Box
   [Result]
   No change.

   [Clean Up]
   Object → Path → Clean Up
   [Result]
   No change.

   [Composer Change]
   Changing the Composer temporarily restored the missing text.
   However:
   •first-line indentation became corrupted
   •paragraph layout changed unexpectedly
   •switching Composer again produced different rendering issues
   This suggests recomposition inconsistencies rather than a paragraph formatting issue.

   [New Area Type Frame]
   Created a completely new Area Type frame.
   Copied the identical text into the new frame.
   [Result]
   Everything rendered correctly.
   The issue remained only in the original Area Type object.

   [Additional Observations]
   •The problem is not font-dependent.
   •The problem is not caused by Area Type overflow.
   •The text data itself is intact.
   •Rendering becomes normal after Create Outlines.
   •The issue appears to be tied to the original Area Type object.
   •Recomposition triggered by Composer produces inconsistent layout results.

   [Suspected Cause]
   The issue appears to originate from the internal composition state of a specific Area Type object.
   Possible areas to investigate:
   •Area Type internal composition cache
   •Japanese Composer recomposition
   •Area Type rendering state after editing
   •Korean text layout recomposition

   [Files Available]
   The following can be provided if necessary.
   •Original AI file
   •Screen recording
   •Before/After screenshots
   •PDF export demonstrating the issue

   The issue was isolated through multiple troubleshooting steps, and the only reliable workaround found was recreating the Area Type frame. Since the text content, fonts, and paragraph settings remain identical, this appears to be related to the internal composition state of the original Area Type object rather than user formatting or font corruption.

   *Additional finding
   The same AI file opens and renders correctly in Illustrator CC 2025 without any modification.
   The issue only occurs in Illustrator 30.6.
   This suggests that the problem may be a regression introduced in Illustrator 30.6 rather than a document-specific issue.

   [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.

9. 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!)

12. 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 vais perdre ou non les dernières modifications que j'ai réalisé.
    Je précise que c'est pas la première fois que ça arrive. Plus d'une dizaine de cas identiques cette année.

13. 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!

14. 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?

15. 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 using Illustrator V30.6 on Windows.

16. 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 the object to a larger size.

    4. Compare the rendering between Illustrator 29.0 and Illustrator 30.5.1.

    ---

    The rendered colors should remain identical regardless of scaling.

    The same AI file should render identically between Illustrator versions.

18. "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. :)

    Repro file attached.

19. 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.

    Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    This was fixed in the Beta 30.8.0.7 and the team intends to push it into the next general July release.

    Meanwhile, please use the dedicated Transform panel or the Properties panel as a workaround.

    If you find anything else — please report and upvote, it really helps.

20. 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.

    Steps to reproduce
    1 Open the attached example.ai.
    2 The document contains two linked versions of the same image:
    ◦ PSD
    ◦ TIFF
    3 Scale each image to different percentages (for example 90%, 75%, 50% and 25%).
    4 Zoom in and inspect the edges.

    Actual result
    PSD:
    • Visible dark edge pixels appear.
    • The artifact becomes stronger as the placed image is scaled further away from 100%.

    TIFF:
    • No artifact.
    • Correct edge rendering at every tested scale.

    Expected result
    All two images should render identically regardless of source file format.

    Additional observations
    • At 100% placed size, the PSD renders correctly.
    • The artifact begins to appear as soon as the placed PSD is scaled.
    • The further the scaling deviates from 100%, the stronger the artifact becomes.
    • No export is required.
    • The issue is already visible immediately inside Illustrator.
    • Exported PDF or raster files simply inherit the incorrect rendering already present in Illustrator.
    • The issue can be reproduced using only a transparent raster image with 0% feather edges.
    • The issue is independent of object color.

    Workaround
    Replacing the PSD with a transparent TIFF completely eliminates the problem.
    Tested successfully with:
    • TIFF (None)
    • TIFF (LZW)
    • TIFF (ZIP)
    Attached files
    • example.ai
    • 6%.psd (Unfortunately the UserVoice attachment system does not allow PSD uploads.)
    • 6%LZW.tif
    • examplerendering_issue.png

    Additional note
    During my investigation I found an older Adobe Community discussion titled:
    “Black Edges on placed Ai and PSD transparency files”
    In that discussion Adobe Principal Scientist Dov Isaacs confirmed that an internal bug report had been filed.
    We can still reproduce what appears to be the same issue in the latest Illustrator release.
    The attached files provide a much simpler and deterministic reproduction case than the original discussion.
    Thank you for your time.
