  2. Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries

    Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)

    Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.

    I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.

  3. Layers palette filter grabs focus when pressing Ctrl-C

    Pressing Ctrl-C to copy something activates the focus on the filter field in the Layers palette. Using keyboard shortcuts becomes a landmine when this happens because you can inadvertently turn off layers or, in some cases, slow Illustrator way down by pasting SVG data into the field (Ctrl-V often follows pressing Ctrl-C). When the latter happens, Illustrator tries to filter by the text in the field, and it can take quite a while sometimes to regain focus enough to clear out the field. More often than not, however, I have to force quit and restart.

    A potential side effect of…

  5. 異体字を指定したグリフに対してSVGフィルタを適用するとデフォルトのグリフにフォールバックする

    macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
    Illustrator ver.29.3.1

    再現手順
    1. ポイントテキストをドキュメント上に作成し「ABCD」と入力し、各グリフを異体字(添付のサンプルではu+0041 nalt5等を指定)に変更する。
    2.作成したテキストに任意のSVGフィルタを適用する。
    3.異体字を指定したグリフがデフォルトのグリフにフォールバックした状態でレンダリングされる。

    期待する結果
    指定した異体字のままSVGフィルタが適用される。

    実際の結果
    異体字はデフォルトのグリフに変更された状態でレンダリングされる。

    EN Translated:
    Step to Reproduce
    1. create a point text on the document, type "ABCD" and change each glyph to a alternate glyph (in the attached sample, specify u+0041 nalt5, etc.).
    2. Apply any SVG filter to the created text.
    3. The alterrnate glyphs are rendered with fallback to the default glyphs.

    Expected result
    The SVG filter will be applied with the alternate glyphs.

    Actual result
    The alternate glyphs are rendered with the glyphs changed to the default glyphs.

  7. テキストに適用したSVGフィルタがテキストのトラッキングに追随しない

    SVG filter applied to text does not follow text tracking

    macOS 14.7.2 iMac27inch
    Illustrator ver.29.3.1

    Step to Reproduce
    1. ポイントテキストをドキュメント上に作成し、任意のテキストを入力する。
    2.作成したテキストに任意のSVGフィルタを適用する。
    3.テキストのトラッキングを適当に入力するかoption+→で文字感覚を操作する。
    4.テキストハイライトは変化するが、フィルタープレビューは変化しない。
    5.また、あらかじめトラッキングを適用した文字列にSVGフィルタを適用するとトラッキングが解除された状態でSVGフィルタが適用される。

    期待する結果
    ver.28のようにSVGフィルタを適用してもトラッキングが機能する。

    実際の結果
    トラッキングを行ってもSVGフィルタのレンダリングが変化しない。

    EN Translated:
    Step to Reproduce
    1. Create a point text on the document and enter any text.
    2. Apply any SVG filter to the created text.
    3. Enter text tracking as desired or use Option+ARROW to manipulate the text tracking.
    4. The text highlight will change, but the filter preview will not.
    5. Also, if you apply an SVG filter to a text with tracking applied beforehand, the SVG filter will be…

  8. White words invisible on export

    There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

  9. 3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS

    I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless…

  11. Custom toolbars with plugin tools rearrange themselves alphabetically on launch

    Windows 11, Illustrator 29.3.1
    I use a custom toolbar with the tools I use most frequently (many Astute Graphics plugin tools), arranged in a specific order that I go to with muscle memory. Recently (2 updates ago?), they jumbled up – actually, they arranged themselves alphabetically descending top to bottom – but for my purposes, this is illogically jumbled, and I have to hunt for tools visually; it is very annoying and time-wasting. Then I noticed they were in my proper order again… next day, jumbled. I’ve worked out what is happening. First Illustrator launch of the day… alphabetically jumbled.…

  13. ウィンドウの移動の低速化

    症状は、各ウィンドウの移動が全体的にもっさりしてマウスへの追従が遅れるようになりました。

    イラストレーター 2024年版をiMac 2023にて最近まで問題なく使用できていましたが、
    2025にアップデートしたところ挙動に不安要素があったため、アンインストールしたのちに
    2024をインストールしなおしました。

    その際、各種パネル(書式、属性、リンクなど)をフローティングウィンドウにて移動した際に
    動作が全体的にもっさりするようになりマウスへの追従がワンテンポ遅れるように。

    環境設定のリセット。adobe製品の全種アンインストール。関連ファイル削除。
    からの再インストール。
    またOSの再インストール(macos sonoma)も行いましたが一向に改善されません。

    ただしパソコンをセーフモードで立ち上げ、イラストレーターを起動した際には
    ウィンドウの移動がさくさくと動きます。

    正直セーフモードで起動した際に動くということは何かしらが悪さしているのは明白なのですが…
    まったく理由がわからず…。地味にストレスです。

    同様の方いませんか。

  14. 中韓フォントの文字組みを変更してもアキが変わらない

    フォント「思源黑體 TW」の文字組みを「なし」や「行末約物半角」などに変更しても、アキ量が変化しない現象がありました。
    上記現象が発生したバージョンは下記の通りです。

    OS:Windows 10 Pro
    Illustrator CC:V 29.1、V 29.2、V 29.3.1(V 29.2.1、V 29.3は調べてません)
    なお、V 29.0、V 28.7.3 は当該現象は発生していません。

    問題発生時の手順:

    ・スクリプトを使いCSVデータを読み込んで文字情報を取得、文字をイラストに書き込む
    ・文字入力後、フォント「思源黑體 TW」へ変更
    上記どちらでも問題が発生します。

    想定していた結果:
    添付をご参照ください。
     V29.0文字組み「なし」.png
     V29.0
    文字組み「行末約物半角」.png

    実際の結果:
    添付をご参照ください。
     V29.1文字組み「行末約物半角」.png
     V29.1
    文字組み「なし」.png
    この2つの全角、半角のアキが同じ(変化がない)となっております。
    (どれを選んでも「なし」と同じ状態です)

    他のフォント(下記)で試してみましたが、アキ量の変化は確認できました。

    ・源ノ角ゴシック JP
    ・A-OTF UD新ゴ Pr6N L
    ・メイリオ
    ・游ゴシック

    Illustratorフォーラムにも投稿し他の方にもご検証いただいたところ、日本語以外(繁体字、簡体字、ハングル)のフォントで同様の現象が起きているようです。
    また、InDesign20.1(2025)でも同様の現象が起きているようです。

    バグであれば是非ともご対応いただけると幸いです。

    I’ve noticed that when exporting as Autodesk RealDWG, the pop-up progress bar actually says Audodesk. Spelling Mistake.

  16. Finder Apps and Adobe Bridge no longer open Adobe Illustrator

    Something changed with the last update that altered the default association between Illustrator files and the application. I first noticed it when my barcode app failed to launch Illustrator upon export—something that had been working perfectly for years. Then, I encountered the same issue in Adobe Bridge: every time I double-click a .ai file, it simply won’t open.

    After investigating, I discovered that the default file association for .ai files had been changed to something called IllustratorDiagnosys (see screenshot). Manually changing this back to Adobe Illustrator within Bridge resolved the issue inside that app, but external applications and links are…

  18. Random inverted Movement lock during Wacom Cintiq Pen and mouse usage

    I haven't used AI in awhile. I updated it today from CC. I'm on Windows 11 with a Cintiq 24. When I go to move an object or shift my workspace view, the pen motion or mouse motion will lock and invert. I won't be able to access any menu items. I was in task manager as I reproduced this. Doesn't look like it affects memory too much. Just trying to figure out if this is a bug or new setting.

  19. Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly

    Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly. Per the online documentation at https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/graphs.html:

    “The design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same size as the default square marker on the line or scatter graph.”

    This is how it used to work. Now it scales the markers down to fit in the default marker’s bounding box, which creates absurdly small results (screenshot attached, showing the size that should be generated per the documentation versus what actually happens). I've tried this multiple times and always get the same incorrect result.
