  3. Font switches to default and back while navigating string with arrows

    It's a bit hard to explain in words, so please watch the screencast I recorded. To put it simply: if a text block has a font other than the default (Myriad), and you want to navigate the text using the arrow keys, each time you click the button, the font in the panels changes to the default font and then back. The new letters have the correct font, although this does impact performance, especially for large texts.

  4. Transform Each records angles for gradients in a way Eyedropper cannot pick them

    Take a look at the test file attached and the GIF with the steps.
    1. All gradients have zero angle
    2. Select All and call Transform Each dialog
    3. Set an angle (I chose45°) and disable Transform Objects — this should rotate only the fill, not the paths. Apply.
    4. Check the angles with the Gradient panel, the values is displayed as correct.
    5. Create a new rectangle and set its appearance to the default one with D hotkey
    6. Pick the Eyedropper toll and make sure both Appearance options are enabled in its options (otherwise it shouldn’t work at…

  5. Blob Brush strokes often include garbage on turns

    What is wrong with Blob Brush. Even with simplest strokes I often get groups, and these have the main part and tiny pieces of garbage next to it in them.
    Sometimes these are thinnest slivers, sometimes knotted madness, sometimes chunks chomped off...
    If I run simple Pathfinder Add, some of this get 'healed'. Why don’t you do at least this? Why these awfully angular turns and garbled edges happen in the first place? Please study the file.

  6. Bullet or numbered list incorrectly applying when copying text boxes

    If text that has a bullet or numbered list applied to it runs across a joined text box, the list effect will be applied to all the text before it in the duplicated text box.

  7. Using scrollbars with a Wacom while editing text results in sticky cursor that will not stop scrolling

    Using the handles in the horizontal and vertical scrollbars while text is being edited results in the cursor 'sticking' to the scrollbar and not releasing. Pressing esc, alt-tabbing away all seem to have no effect, after about 30s it stops and if I have minimised everything with Win+M. Unsure if it is purely time-based or not.

    This only seems to occur when using a Wacom, the same interaction with a mouse does not suffer from the same sticky cursor.

    Steps to repro:
    - create a text object, and leave the cursor live inside the object. Doesn't seem to make a…

  8. A part of a traced image vanishes when using Image Trace

    When changing raster graphics to vector graphics, an image element (with a yellow background) was removed. It looks like Adobe Illustrator does not recognize this color. How can I solve this problem?

  9. コントロールパネルから塗りや線の色を変更する際、カラースライダーに数値を入力してからスライダーを動かすと数値やスライダーやカラースペクトルの表示が消える

    コントロールパネルから塗りや線画を変えるためにカラースライダーに数値を打ち込んだ後スライダーをマウスでドラッグするとカラーパネルに表示されているカラースライダーやカラースペクトルなどの表示が消える。それまで打ち込んでいたカラーの数値が変わったり変わらなかったりする。

  10. Exporting DWG or DXF and importing it back leads to artifacts

    On importing .dwg or .dxf files into illustrator (even for files that have been exported from illustrator in those formats), the file opens with unwanted artifacts. Please see the image below. On the left is the ai file and on the right is the same file exported as .dwg and opened, with artifacts on the curves.

    This is basic and shouldn't be happening in the first place. It makes working with manufacturing utterly painful.

    Request you guys to please iron out this glitch.

  12. 別の変数ライブラリを読み込むと「不明なエラー」がでる

    ・すでに変数ライブラリが読み込まれている
    ・1つの変数に複数のオブジェクトを割り当てている

    このようなとき、変数>変数ライブラリの読み込み、から別の変数を読み込もうとすると、
    「不明なエラーのため、フィルター処理を完了できません。」
    と表示されるバグがありますので、報告します。

    なお、複数割り当てられているオブジェクトを「変数のバインディング解除」で1つしか割り当てられていない状態にすると、上記のエラーは起こりません。

  15. PDF export without color conversion converts RGB images to CMYK

    This is a bug that occurs in Illustrator 2025 (29.2.1) and later.

    When an RGB image is placed as a linked file in a CMYK document, it gets converted to CMYK upon PDF export, even if "No Color Conversion" is selected. In Illustrator 2025 (29.2.0) and earlier, the image remained in RGB.

    This bug affects only PNG and JPG files. Other formats, such as PSD, remain in RGB.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Create a new CMYK document.
    2. Place an RGB image (PNG or JPG) as a linked file (do not embed).
    3. Export the document as a PDF with "No Color Conversion"…

  16. Measure tool stops working for measuring an area after we toggle to Selection tool with Cmd/Ctrl and move the object

    If we create an object and try to measure its area with the Measure tool — it gets highlighted and the area gets calculated fine, showing the result in the Info panel.
    But as soon as we hold Cmd/Ctrl to temporarily pick Selection tool, and move the object, releasing Cmd/Ctrl breaks the measuring — no area, no highlight. Reselecting doesn’t help.

  17. Measure tool / Info panel does not show area for for many things

    Recently Measure tool started to calculate are for selected / clicked objects, originally requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33527584

    However, it’s very basic.
    1. It does not show an area for objects with no fill
    2. No area for objects within a clipping mask
    3. No area for the visible area of a clipping group as a whole
    4. No area for an opaque raster image (not that hard to multiply two values)
    5. ...or for a partially transparent raster image (again, we can evaluate this manually, by using a fill + Outline Object trick)
    6. Nothing for meshes, live text, symbols, compound…

  18. Adding cloud fonts is a terrible experience

    I click to use the cloud font and it should just download, it says it is downloaded and it is not. I have to remove it (which it doesn't show that it's on my system, it's a bug) and then re-add it.
