1. Fonts changing in files when opened in Illustrator 29.5.1

   Existing files created in illustrator (on a different desktop) when opened in v29.5 & v29.5.1 display incorrect fonts - the font is changed to a completely different font (e.g. Myriad Pro will be changed to Times New Roman) throughout the document. All the text in that font family is changed, but other fonts used in the document will display correctly. The font is installed correctly on the system and the changed font can be changed to the correct font by selecting the font from the illustrator font list. The thumbnails display correctly in Bridge before opening in illustrator. Reverting illustrator back to v29.4 resolves the problem

   This fix is included in Illustrator v29.8.2.

   
   

   If you reopen files that were not saved while the font change issue was present, the problem should no longer occur.

   
   

   Please let us know if you continue to experience the issue in any new files created with v29.8.2.

2. Illustrator Paths Automatically Filled Black Despite No Color Selection

   In the past few days Illustrator has given me trouble: as you can see in the picture i get a black filling on any path I create even if no color is selected!

   I have just uninstalled and re-downloaded the illustrator app from my creative cloud (version 29.3.1) but it didn't solve the problem.

   I can't work this way.
   Any suggestions?

3. Creating and/or Entering Opacity Mask doesn’t work from Properties / Control panels

   When clicking on the Opacity popu-up panel (in Control or Properties) and then clicking on the mask thumbnail to activate that mode, the thumbnail highlights but as soon as I attempt to edit the contents of the mask, it shows that the mode is not activated. Only if I select the 'Clip' checkbox in the Opacity panel will it allow me to edit the mask. But then clicking the 'Object' thumbnail in the Opacity panel, similarly does not exit mask-editing mode. I have to uncheck the 'Clip' checkbox to get back to normal mode. Previously, simply clicking on each thumbnail would easily switch between mask mode and normal editing mode.

4. Allow to change scale and precision, show/hide units for existing dimensions

   Once dimension is created, we can’t change some parameters of it: scale, precision, units displayed.
   We can open Dimension Tool Options and change these for NEW dimensions, but both Properties and Control don’t allow to modify existing ones.

   The only thing we can do is change these parameters, create a new dimension and then hit 'Apply to all' button in Quick Actions section in Properties (which should be a menu command as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378) — but what if we don’t need to change ALL the dimensions, but only some?
   Another thing is to delete a dimension and recreated it (but what if I have hundreds of these on canvas already?)

5. Advanced Options Missing in Recolor Artwork Panel with UI Scaling

   Bug Description:
   When the UI is scaled up , the advanced options in the "Recolor Artwork" panel become inaccessible. This happens because the panel becomes too large, causing the advanced options at the bottom to be cut off. Additionally, the absence of a scroll bar prevents users from navigating to the hidden section.

   Steps to Reproduce:

   Open Adobe software (e.g., Illustrator).

   Access the "Recolor Artwork" feature.

   Use the software on a high UI scaling factor.

   Notice that the advanced options at the bottom of the panel are not displayed and cannot be accessed due to the missing scroll bar.

   Expected Result:
   The panel should either automatically adjust its size to fit the screen or provide a scroll bar, allowing users to access all options.

   Whenever i try to zoom in and out, it is super delayed and laggy. It doesnt happen when I do control + y though. I checked my storage space and thats fine. It is only with illustrator.

9. Recolor window appears out of frame when in isolation mode

   When in isolation mode, the top of the Recolor window is out of frame, so I can't move it. Unfortunately, it pops up right over the artwork, so I can't use it.

   I tried moving the panel when not in isolation mode, but it still pops up over the artwork and out of frame in isolation mode.

10. Custom art brush results in way too many anchor points when expanded

    As reported here by Peachtears13: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1kei4zn/custom_art_brush_results_in_way_too_many_anchor/

    Having a simple path (with minimum amount of points), applying a simple art brush (with minimum amount of points), and then expanding it gives a ton of extra points, hardly needed to define resulting shapes.

    It worked MUCH better in CS4... and then became much worse in CS6 (or perhaps in CS5) — take a look at the images attached.

    Yes, there are tools to deal with the mess afterwards: native Simplify, plugin VectorFirstAid... but it should not be like this in the first place.

    And please, do not 'solve' it by throwing in another hidden Simplify like you did to deal with Variable Strokes!!! This leads to loosing symmetrical point pairs across the stroke, it makes it work slower while editing! Just do better math, optimize each cluster but keep their edge-points intact! Look at the CS4 again, dust off from some old code!

11. Can’t place an object between unfurled groups in Layers

    If you have two groups unfurled in Layers — good luck in positioning an object between them in Layers. Any spot you drop it in will move it into either group, like the first attached GIF shows.

    And if the object is originally within a group, you’d have to move it outside first, collapse both groups and only then put it in-between... when you have a complex layer structure it can be very painful.

    Unlike in Photoshop (GIF 2), Send Backwards / Send to Back won’t move the object outside of the group, and dragging the layer to the left side of the tree doesn’t work s well — in Photoshop it just works, in Illustrator we get the 'forbidden' cursor.

12. Applescript—cannot save Illustrator file if embedding ICC profiles

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674). I cannot save an Illustrator file as part of an AppleScript if ICC profiles are being embedded. This is a problem because I can no longer use my Applescripts for creating versions of logo files.

    The following code will fail with the error "Cannot get document 1". The error occurs when the save command’s with options parameter is a record containing a embed icc profile property.

    save document 1 in filePath as Illustrator with options {embed icc profile:true}
    I have verified that a) the ICC profile was already embedded in the source document, and that if I save the file via the GUI, checking the box to save the ICC profile works. Using AppleScript to save the Illustrator file does not retain the ICC profile.

    This fails on macOS 14.5 and Illustrator 27.x and 28.5. It also fails on macOS 15.4 and Illustrator 29.5.0. It also fails on macOS 15.3.2 and Illustrator 28.7.6 and 29.5.

    According to another user, JavaScript works properly. However, JavaScript is not a workaround for me.
    var d = app.documents[0];

    var saveOptions = new IllustratorSaveOptions();
    saveOptions.flattenOutput = OutputFlattening.PRESERVEAPPEARANCE;
    saveOptions.embedICCProfile = true;

    d.saveAs(new File('~/testjs.ai'), saveOptions);

    Please help -- I need to be able to save an Illustrator file with AppleScript, that has an embedded ICC profile.

    This is a bug, as verified by this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/there-is-a-problem-with-saving-as-illustrator-using-applescript/m-p/15287552) and this post (https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/applescript-cannot-embed-icc-profiles-in-illustrator-save-options/m-p/15032019#M429674).

15. Preview Only Text rendered as moved compared to the original

    The new Preview Only Text feature is bugged. Attached is a screen shot of a comparison of the original document and Illustrators Preview Only text. The copy actually moves quite a bit from it's original position. The text is area type and within a box if that is a clue. This should be a huge concern for anyone trusting the preview only text.

    The app does not respond whenever I try to save my work under “Adobe PDF”. This has caused me to lose some of my works. I tried reentering Illustrator multiple times and yet it still happens.
