Unintended shortcuts triggered by Ctrl + Win/Apps keys on Windows
On Illustrator for Windows, a specific key sequence triggers unintended shortcuts. This issue appears to be caused by a bit-level misidentification within Illustrator's input handling, where certain keys are processed as different characters.
The order of key presses is critical:
1. Hold down the Ctrl key first.
2. While holding Ctrl, press the Left Windows Key or Apps Key.Actual Results:
- Ctrl + Left Win: triggers "Send to Back" (matches Ctrl + [).
- Ctrl + Alt + Left Win: triggers "Select Next Object Below" (matches Ctrl + Alt + [).
- Ctrl + Apps: triggers "Bring Forward" (matches Ctrl + ]).

Gradient across stroke, inside opacity mask is thresholded for half the width of the stroke
Applying a black-to-white gradient across a stroke inside an opacity mask results in a portion of the opacity mask not being applied, corresponding to half the width of the stroke, almost as if it is clipped by the stroke. If the path is subsequently outlined, which creates a mesh, the behavior is the same. If the object is a filled bezier curve, the behavior is normal with the shape masked as expected.

Illustrator Layers Panel Object Thumbnails No Longer Update After Edits
In Illustrator, the object thumbnails in the Layers panel are no longer refreshing after changes are made to the artwork to match the new appearance. Because the preview remains outdated, it becomes harder to track changes and quickly identify the correct objects in complex files. This breaks a useful visual cue and makes the workflow less reliable and less efficient.

プリントアウトを途中でキャンセルすると操作できなくなる
プリントアウトが完了する前(ゲージが最後まで行く前)に途中でキャンセルボタンを押すと、
マウスやキーボードでの操作が一切効かなくなる。
カーソルは動くし、キーボードでショートカットキーを打ち込むと効いているような感じでメニューバーが反応はするが、まったく操作できなくなる。
アプリを終了することすらできなくなる(カーソルは動くのに)。
なので強制終了するしかなくなる。なお、強制終了のウィンドウを開いてもアプリ自体に問題ないように見えるが
実質フリーズしている状態。また、アプリを再起動しても、回線が混んでいるとのメッセージが出て

30.3 SVG Code is not at the same scale size as same file code from 29.8.6. It's half the size
Exporting a SVG file from 2026 30.3 the code is a complete different size than the same file code from 2025 29.8.6 and not in a good way.
The image on the left is from 2025 and the image on the right is from 2026.
This is a bug that shouldn't be in the 2026 version

Freeform Gradient is not rendred
When I try to make a freeform gradient, the colors don't show up. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with a preview or something else.

The preview is incorrect because some images are missing
Ever since at least Illustrator version 29.8.5, I've been having preview issues with linked images. Some images are missing from my preview.
I tested it in Illustrator 30.3, and the problem persists.

Illustrator 30.3 bug: Use Preview Bounds ignored for effects applied directly to symbol instances
In Illustrator 30.3, I appear to have found a bug related to bounding boxes and the Use Preview Bounds preference.
When an effect is applied directly to a symbol instance, Illustrator seems to ignore the Use Preview Bounds setting and behaves as though preview bounds are enabled for that object. This does not happen when the same effect is applied to the symbol definition itself, which has always used preview bounds, regardless of the preference setting, and it does not happen when the symbol instance is placed inside a group and the effect is applied to the group instead (good…

Bleed is applied randomly when not enabled
Issues with bleed. I keep saving a PDF withOUT bleed and it saves it with bleed. It randomly picks and choses which files it'll apply a bleed to and which it won't apply a bleed to, despite me picking NO BLEED on all of them. Very frustrating.
Illustrator 2026.

First Attempt to Copy Hex Not Working
When I click into the fill properties under appearance, and click the "copy value" button, it always will deselect and NOT copy on first attempt. But if I try again after it will work. Similarly, when I first click on the value, it highlights, and then if I do CMD + C the value will become de-selected and not copied.
2 votesDoes this happen for Hex Code field only or are you seeing this on other fields as well? Also, let us know more about your system details and Illustrator version.

Strange loops and spikes when using pressure-sensitive brushes with XP-Pen Tablet on Illustrator 29.3 and newer on Windows 11
An employee directed me to this forum to explain my problem (I explained everything here: https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/inconsistent-strokes-when-using-pressure-sensitive-brushes-with-xp-pen-tablet-illustrator-30-2-1-windows-11-1553544)
My system:
Windows 11, Version 25H2 (Windows Ink is deactivated, tried with activated too).
Old tablet: Artist 12 Pro (XP-Pen)
New tablet: XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
I tried all available Illustrator versions (I will explain later).I am getting very weird and inconsistent strokes when drawing with a tablet and the Blob Brush Tool (please see screenshot and video attached EDIT: video too big pls see the article from the other forum, the video is posted there).
I did a ton of troubleshooting…
2 votesHi,
We weren't able to reproduce this issue on our end, so we'd like to gather a few more details to help us investigate further:
1. Wacom/tablet driver version- Could you share the exact driver version you're currently using?
2. Did this issue appear immediately after upgrading to a specific Illustrator version?
3. Illustrator version currently installed?
Regards,
Aishwarya

Object edge highlight color reverts to black while moving objects.
Ever since the illustrator 2026 update, when I move objects the highlight color changes to black like in the attached video. I'm currently running 30.3 and it seems like it has only become more and more prevalent. Obviously this isn't great when you're working against a darker color in the background. Is this a feature that I've missed a checkbox to turn off or is this a glitch? For the techy peeps I'm running a MacBook pro Intel (2017 I think) and I'm on Tahoe 26.3.1.
2 votesStopped happening after reinstalling Ai anew. If this happens to you still and the same doesn’t work, please comment and share your setup specs.

(Bug) Alignment buttons go into hiding when selecting more than one object
When selecting a single object, the Alignment buttons appear on the top UI bar. But select MORE THAN ONE object, the Alignment buttons disappear.
Now I have to click on the "Align" flyout menu and click an option from there in order to align 2 objects, because my UI shows more blank space and fewer features than before.

Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches
When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.
To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.
In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it…
