Both Illustrator and Photoshop stop responding while using complex files
The Adobe Software, both Illustrator and Photoshop, stop responding and I can’t really use them properly, while using complex files
1 voteAkshay, the team would need to study those files that makes Illustrator work slowly. Please upload these to a file hosting of your choice (with all the links collected using File > Package) and send the access link to sharewithai@adobe.comm so the team could investigate them.

Stroke issues with text containers when exporting into SVG
When exporting to SVG, text frames are interpreted as separate entities and inherit stroke/fill attributes from the text or group they are in. This results in unwanted strokes around the text frame itself. With other formats there are no issues.

一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されない
macOS Tahoe 26.0 / Macbook Pro Late 2023
Illustrator 29.8.1添付画像のとおり、一部の日本語フォントが正常に表示されません。
他のAdobeアプリ(Photoshop等)では正常に表示されますが、Illustratorだけがダメです。
また、同じフォントでもウエイトによって表示される文字と表示されない文字が混在している様です。さらに、フォントパネル上ではフォント名が表示されていますが「フォントの検索と置換」のドキュメント内のフォント名が文字化けしています。
Illustrator 28.7.9では正常に表示されている様なので、OS依存のバグではなさそうです。

Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File
While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.
The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.
I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including…

Embedded Grayscale Image Inverts When Unembedded from Illustrator 29.8.1 and Opened in Photoshop
I’m encountering a consistent issue with Adobe Illustrator version 29.8.1 on Windows 10 (64-bit) involving grayscale images.
When I unembed a grayscale image from an Illustrator file and open it in Photoshop, the image appears inverted (as a negative — colors reversed). This only occurs when the embedded image is in grayscale mode. Color images do not seem to exhibit this problem.
This behavior did not occur in previous versions of Illustrator and seems to be specific to version 29.8.1.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open an Illustrator file (v29.8.1) with an embedded grayscale image.
Unembed the image.
Open the resulting file…

Real Time Drawing & Editing will not turn off for drawing shapes
When I have Real Time Drawing & Editing turned OFF, shapes (rectangle, ellipse) still show up filled while drawing, instead of just the vector outline as expected.
Steps to recreate:
turn off real-time drawing & editing
select random fill color
select shape tool
draw shapeexpected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
actual result: filled shape is seen during drawingI tested this and found the same behavior on both my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 11 Laptop, both running Illustrator 29.8.1 (64-bit).
There is no problem when moving an object, that still displays the vector outline…

Can’t edit colors in a selection
When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

Illustrator最新版で A-OTF フォントが使用できない件について
お世話になっております。
現在、以下の環境で A-OTF フォントが Illustrator で使用できない 不具合が発生しております。
環境
macOS:15.6.1(Sequoia)
Adobe Illustrator:最新版(28.x)
Morisawa Fonts アプリ:最新版を使用
フォント例:A-OTF ゴシックMB101 Pr5
症状
Illustrator のフォント一覧には A-OTF フォントが表示されるが、選択すると代替フォントに置き換わり使用できない。
Photoshop など他の Adobe アプリ(Photoshop、InDesign)では同じフォントを正常に使用可能。
Morisawa Fonts アプリ上では該当フォントはアクティブ化されている。
実施済み対策
Illustrator のアンインストール/クリーンインストール
環境設定・キャッシュの削除
Morisawa Fonts アプリの再インストール、ログイン/再アクティブ化
macOS 再起動
上記すべてを実施しても改善せず
特記事項
Illustratorを一つ古いバージョン(27.x)に戻したところ、問題なくフォントを使用できた。
よって、最新版 Illustrator(28.x)と macOS 15.6.1 環境における A-OTF フォントの不具合である可能性が高いと考えられる。
ご確認いただきたいこと
Illustrator最新版と macOS 15.6.1 環境での A-OTF フォント非対応/不具合について既知の情報があるか
修正版のリリース予定があるか
回避策があればご教示いただきたい

Illustrator crashes when I double-click a text to edit
These are awful. You are awful. The program has closed 10 times. The reason is I don't want to double-click a text and edit it. I can't get it to work. You're screwed for the program. Every time I double-click a text and try to edit something, the program closes. The world's highest-earning software is a worthless software team.

Stop remembering my last save as file type!!!
I've used Illustrator for decades, and the only file type that a new document should be saved as is an .AI file. For the love of God, please go back to .AI or allow me to choose .AI as my default file type!!!
1 voteWe have fixed this issue in latest version of Illustrator - v29.8.1
Please update your Adobe Illustrator and let us know your observations.
