Text editing issues in regular and large canvases
- Set the regional text to "align both ends, align the last line to the left", which aligns normally in a regular canvas, but cannot align on the right side in a large canvas.
- For the text in the same area, adjust the "Scale Spacing" text in the big canvas to overflow on the right. Display normally in regular canvas.

Cursor Moving on its own After Creating Clipping Mask
Often after I create a clipping mask the cursor will, on its own, slowly begin moving across the screen. I can see it flickering with each step. If I hit escape it will stop the cursor and return to normal. M1 iMac Sequoia 15.3, Illustrator 22.9.1.
This problem has happened to me in the past in previous versions, I can't recreate it when I undo and remake the clipping mask.

Bullets/Numbering indents don't scale with type objects
The Indent/First line indent values set in bullets and numbering options don't scale with type objects.
Normal paragraph indents do scale as expected, so I think this is an oversight or bug.
Examples:
1. Area type with text at 12pt, numbering options have an 18pt left indent and -18pt first line indent.
2. Same object scaled 150% -- type is now 18pt, indents have not changed, meaning left indents for double figures have been forced to the next tab.
3. Paragraph without bullets/numbers, 12pt, left indent 18pt, first line indent -18pt.
4. Same object scaled 150%, type is now 18pt,…-

Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info don’t get played in actions
Swatches panel’s flyout menu now has two new commands, Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info.
When we try to record these into actions, they get added fine — but once played, nothing happens at all: no gradient gets built, no color legend appears on canvas.
As always, these new additions don’t get integrated into the application enough... Please don’t abandon them!12 votesThe fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

Character styles seem sticky, sluggish
The character styles dialog seems very sluggish, sometimes being unresponsive for a minute. So far no crashes, but a major pain having to wait for the styles to register changes....

3D Materials Panel Causes Much Longer Document Load Times
Regarding the 3D Effects Panel in Illustrator, it seems to take nearly 20 seconds when launching a new document if in the previous session the Panel was active. If the 3D Effects panel was not active, then the document loads much faster. It would be great to have Illustrator handle the load time better.
I'm using Illustrator version 29.2.1 in MacOS WITH Sequoia 15.2 on an M4 Pro 48GB RAM.

Separations preview is wrong for dynamic symbol with spot color
When a dynamic symbol gets a spot color applied to one of its fills, then the separations preview does not show the correct separation.

New Document settings reset while being entered
When creating a new document in Illustrator, you can begin tabbing down through the fields and assigning numbers as you go (such as setting up standard business cards by typing 3.5, tab twice, type 2, tab thrice, set 3 artboards, tab once and enter top bleed amount, etcetera).
The problem is, before I can completely enter my values, the program randomly moves to another field (possibly the first of the Recent Items, or wherever focus is upon bringing up the New Document dialog). This often means my new document winds up being "reset" to the last size created, and I…

Eyedropper not working when object is within nested groups
Illustrator V. 29.1
MacOS Ventura 13.6.2I need to be able to direct select objects that are within nested groups and then eyedropper to change how only that object looks. This feature doesn't work correctly and I don't want to have to click + click + click + click + click to get into the isolated object for every single shape I need to do this on every day. See screen recording to better explain. Thank you.

Only one pattern fill of many gets scaled when Transform Object option is disabled in the Scale dialog
Take a look at the attached file and watch the GIF.
I have an object with two pattern fills assigned, and I want to scale them both at once, but to leave the object unscaled.
But when I call Scale dialog and uncheck 'Transform Object' option — only one of two fills gets scaled — the currently chosen one in the Appearance panel (despite my attempt to pick 'Path' there to somehow make my intention clear).
Fill/Stroke Selector also displays the affected fill — and I surely understand it can’t have both. But what can we do to make it…

Arabic text is not searchable in a PDF saved from Illustrator
Arabic text is not searchable in a PDF saved from Illustrator.
In Adobe Illustrator v. 29.2.1 (Middle Eastern version) on Mac OS 15.2, I created a document with A4 size page, typed any number of words, lines in Arabic Language.I choose to save the file as PDF. Then in Acrobat, when I search for any Arabic word, I get the message "No matches were found".
The same text placed into Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word, then Export the page as PDF. Those PDFs are fully searchable.I believe that PDFs out of Adobe Illustrator are the only ones with…

Radial Gradient Exports very large SVG with a many ellipse elements instead of using gradient tag.
Sometimes when you select colors with pipette for radial gradients and export SVG the single radial gradient become hundreds of layers of ellipses. A single element should only export one element with a fill of a single radial gradient.
I tried uploading a zip or the SVGs but this ****** form uploader wouldn't let me.

Don’t display Touch workspace styled handles for Free Transform when Ai doesn’t use it
If a computer has an access to a touch screen device, Ai offers users to switch the interface into the dedicated Touch Workspace: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/illustrator-touch-workspace.html
Normally this access won’t affect using Ai in the default mode, except for the way Free Transform tool’s controls.
These start to look ugly: large contoured circles with small white square padding inside, smudged icons (when viewed at 100 UI scale), giant hint arrows...Maybe these work for some better, I can imagine this.
But why do I see these when not in Touch mode?
How can I force Ai to use normal ones without removing…3 votes
