Align to key object doesn't work properly
Mac Studio 2022 Apple M1 Max - 64Gb memory
Mac OS Sequoia 15.1
Illustrator (Middle East) 29.2.1Alignment to key object SOMETIMES doesn't work as expected. I cannot figure out which are the specific cases.
When dealing with text boxes there is no difference between Roman Hanging punctuation ON or OFF.
I numbered the screenshots according to the issue.TWO TEXT BOXES:
I'm right aligning my text box to another text box. It right-aligns it to the right border of the selected text box with small margin (in this case 0,26mm). The right border of the text box is shifted…

Color cannot be changed in compound paths and/or is not displayed correct
In compound paths, the color cannot be changed directly via color fields or the pipette. The set color and color codes are displayed correctly under “Appearance”, however, nothing changes on the drawing area and the compound paths retain the fill color and outline color with which they were created.

Illustrator Beta Font Selection Panel Disappearing Problem
When the pop-up font preferences panel opens, which is an easy selection area, the window that opens to select a font disappears when hovering over it with the mouse. The font preference preview panel closes before making a selection. It occurred after the last update.

Recent section in New Document dialog is empty with the newest update
Latest updates cause a problem when creating a New File. The history of past artboard sizes is being wiped out on startup leaving only preset formats to choose from. I do not use any of those, I often use a 50"x100" to design in and would just click on it when needed in the large pane. There is now not even an option to customize the new file unless you choose one of the useless presets and modify it, this slows down production and is annoying as ****. This appeared in the update yesterday and is still there today- I…

Illustrator friert bei Copy ein
ich arbeite mit einem Dell Precision 7560 PC unter WIN 11 Vers. 10.0.22632 mit Illustrator. Ich habe einen Prozessor 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1185H mit 2.5 GHz mit 8 Kernen
Ich habe seit geraumer Zeit das Problem dass Illustrator extrem langsam wird. meine Dateien sind klein un bestehen nur aus wenigen Vektor-Linien. Das Problem tritt auf, wenn ich Teile anwähle und mit Command C in die Zwischenablage kopiere. Dann wird die Darstellung ****, alles friert ein, das Rädchen dreht sich und manchmal werden die Fenster und Bedienfelder Schwarz. Nach einigen Sekunden funktioniert dann wieder alles. Nachdem das ein paar mal…1 vote -

Clearly inform about specific words "violating" community standards when generating art
I think when 'one or more words' violate the guidelines, Illustrator should clearly inform us what words these are exactly.
I guess this can be used for a bad cause, like to gather the database of restricted words... but I don’t understand why normal users should suffer because of this.4 votes -
They won't let me generate an MLK Jr. illustration for my MLK day design
I run a Ryzen 5 5500U MSI laptop and my Adobe Illustrator is the latest one from 2025.
I literally tried the most well-explained prompt so it leaves no confusion at all. But still in the middle of the process it gets terminated. Please take a look at my prompt,
"Create a clean, minimalist, and bold 2D illustration of Martin Luther King Jr. that highlights his facial features and expression. Focus on capturing the essence of his kindness, wisdom, and leadership. The portrait should be simplified with smooth, stylized lines, emphasizing his eyes, smile, and iconic facial characteristics. Use subtle…

Pasted/embedded images are sporadically appearing or disappearing depending on scroll direction
When opening an ai file with V29.2 on Windows 11 utilizing a RTX a2000 laptop (Firmware 553.50) embedded and linked images appear and disappear depending on scrolling direction. This renders the program completely unusable. This bug does not appear in V28.7.3

Locking child objects in a locked top layer is not respected when the layer is unlocked and won’t toggle back
If I have a layer locked and I click a pale lock icon next to a child item, the lock becomes solid, as if I am overriding the 'the parent is locked' status... but it can’t be toggled back.
More of it, I expect this overridden status to stay when I unlock the parent — instead it gets dropped.

CC Libraries don't retain Lab values of swatches
If you create a color with Lab values in Illustrator or InDesign and add it to a CC Library, it will convert to CMYK in a new .indd doc and RGB in a new .ai file. We work in Lab 99.9% of the time, so this is super frustrating. We have a database of custom color mixes/names. It would save us a ton of time if we could use CC Libraries for this.
The crazy thing is... if you make a rectangle with a fill of a custom spot color with lab values and save it as a Graphic, it…

Illustrator 2025 forgetting dialog box preferences and reverting to default settings, especially after closing or crashing.
New update to Illustrator 2025 seems to have issues with reverting back to interface defaults as if the app was never opened.
Example panels reverting back to default: missing fonts or font activation panel, pantone blue reminder alert strip, save dialog asking to save locally or via cloud — pretty much anything with a "don't show this again" box, Illustrator seems to forget at least a few times per week.
It also seems to be reverting keyboard shortcut commands back to default presets, though retains custom presets — you just have to go back into the keyboard shortcuts panel and change to…

[Win11 23H2] Illustrator 29.1 Doesn't See Installed CMYK Color Profiles
By default, no installed CMYK color profiles are visible in either Edit > Color Settings > Working Spaces > CMYK and View > Proof Setup > Customize... > Device to Simulate.
They become temporarily visible again after deleting the following files:
1) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\ACECache11.lst
2) C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Color\ACEConfigCache2.lst
Sometimes I also have to reboot the system to make the profiles visible.
Unfortunately, the above solution works only once. After creating a new Illustrator files for the second time, all the profiles are gone again.

保存後、再度開くと文字スタイルがリセットかつ適用できない箇所が一部発生
文字スタイルの不具合が2点。
いずれも、クラウドドキュメント(.aic)で保存したファイルを、次の日開いたら発生。適用していた文字スタイル(標準文字スタイル)が解除され、再度どの文字スタイルを選択しても適用されない
適用していた文字スタイル(標準文字スタイル)の部分が文字化けし、設定していないフォントに書き換えられる
正直、保存→ファイルを開くだけで、こんな不具合が出るのは非常に困ります。尚且つ、1.の再度文字スタイルが選べない = 復旧できないは致命的です。
XDに近い、テキストスタイルはとても便利な機能なので、早急に安定活用できるよう改善お願いいたします。[添付]
1. 選択箇所のように、サイズ10級にしていた箇所が、フォント種、サイズなどめちゃめちゃになり、スタイルの再設定もできない- 1.と同様の「標準文字スタイル」箇所が勝手に他のフォントに設定され、尚且つ文字化けを起こしている

縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない
macOS 14.7.2
Illustrator ver.29.1Step to reproduce
1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。期待する動作
矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。実際の結果
スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。回避策
Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。

Extrude on the 3D Materials panel is inaccurate.
The extrude function does not extrude by the amount I type in.
It used to work on my desktop but never on my laptop and now it works on neither. It extrudes but by less than a third of whatever I type in. Don't know why this happens or why its started doing it on my desktop too.I find it eliminates the usefulness of the whole 3D Materials panel.
