Blending tool undo
Whenever I undo one shape inside the blended elements, it doesn't go back to the initial position. Instead, it stops mid way and the CMD+Z button moves it back 1 pixel closer to the initial position. Moving the object is also a challenge where the second I release the mouse click, it shifts further away.

A generative fill prompt errantly claims it's a violation of guidelines
"A painterly sun in the style of Vincent van Gogh" causes a big red error to be displayed claiming that the prompt violates guidelines. Van Gogh's works are all public domain and should not raise any exceptions like this.

Artboard renaming doesn't work
When I rename an artboard, either through clicking the artboard name above my graphic, or by going through the Artboard properties panel, I change the artboard name, then save the document, and close it. When I reopen the document the previous artboard name is there, the new one wasn't saved. This happens in an .ai and .svg file.
(The webform for submitting ideas doesn't let me upload .ai or .svg files.)1 vote -
Way too many anchorpoints after expanding strokes or using the 'Blob Brush' tool
Years and years ago something changed in Pathfinder commands, and when expanding the results contained many more anchor points than in the version before. I submitted a workflow and was told this could not be corrected in the next version and possibly not even in the version after that. It took years to get better, and it was still not as good as in CS2 (yes).
Now, expanding strokes or even using the 'Blob Brush' results in so, so many anchor points that an immediate 'Simplify' is required to create usable designs. Using both the 'Pen' tool and all other…3 votes -
I can't see any shapes I have created inside and outside the artboard, even when I have not selected any preview options
I am not able to see any shapes, I created inside and outside the artboard. I made sure that none of the preview options are selected, still after zooming in and out whole shapes are disappearing from the illustrator software.

Acrobat PDF File Format error when saving .AI documents. The size of the passed callbacks struct is wrong.
Illustrator 30.0 (64 bit.) windows 11 recently loaded then I updated to 30.0. since then 99 % of the time I open my current .AI files to update them and save them, I receive this error which I can't fix. The only way to bypass it is the save to the downloads folder and then over write the original unsaved file with the new version. This is affecting my production time, so it is quite urgent. It could be a setting but as I don't understand the message I can't fix it.

Now to access the width and height you must go to the properties panel. Why are we making extra steps? Fix this

Zoom in and out is slow
In the last version of Illustrator (30.0 on Windows 11), the zoom (mouse, keyboard) does not work appropriately (very slow), making the use of the software almost impossible. This bug was not existing in former version (29.x). Unticking graphics acceleration in parameters panel makes it even worse.
My config: Windows 11 (French), Intel I9, 32Gbytes of RAM, NVidia Geforce 4080 (581.29)
Please solve rapidly this bug.3 votes -
The Eraser Tool sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry
The Eraser Tool, even with a size of 0 pt (but also with 1 or 2 pt), sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry, sometimes draws a gap in the geometry (as it should always do). This bug has always existed, you have never fixed it. Often, to make partial deletions of the geometry, I have to use other software (such as CorelDRAW).

Problem with Eyedropper tool on text
Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
When I try to use the Eyedropper tool on a text, it only samples the object's top Appearance, not the text's at Character level.
In the sample video, the characters should become grey, with the text object having a white outline behind. But you can see it only picks up the white outline and not the character colour.
My Eyedropper tool is set to pick up everything (all boxes are ticked).

Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only
This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:
Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)
OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)
Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)
For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.
Basically:
When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it…

Tilde key for transforming patterns does not work as in the 2024 and earlier versions
Holding down the tilde key ~ when direct selecting a pattern filled object used to give you the option to interactively transform the pattern inside the object. It would override the transform settings for patterns and give you a live preview when transforming (move/scale/rotate) the pattern only.
This behaves different when moving the pattern in the 2025 and 2026 versions. It will move the object and the pattern and snap the object back when the mouse is released.

Generative Expand ruins stroked linework
Please fix the Generative Expand. It ruins your linework and makes random lines on object. It becomes impossible to work around because even the scissor tool cant cut it since there is a ton of nodes.
It also gets complicated with the shape builder as that tool ruins the stroke weights.
Lastly the stroke / fill thing it keeps swapping it to fill instead of stroke then you have to re put the lineweights every single time.
Some of the parts of the lines even get removed.2 votes
