2. Dotted Guides are not precise in GPU preview

   Guides should allow us to be sure about alignment.
   And while in CPU it’s mostly true, in GPU preview dotted guides get drawn 1 pixel off.
   These should perfectly overlap the edges of the object aligned!

   Look at the GIF attached

   If you notice a bug with the bounding bounding box not getting displayed when I select the rectangle in the CPU Preview mode — it’s a separate Beta-only bug, reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/939477/suggestions/50759876

3. Changes made by plugin tools are not rendered instantly in CPU Outline and Pixel Preview modes

   Just recently something changed for plugins, and changes these make don’t get updated in modes until you force the canvas to redraw (zoom, move, draw in the region... not pan though).
   Here, I try to use one of Astute Graphics’ plugins (it affects many) — I shorten the path, but Ai doesn’t re-render it!

   I bet it’s about performance, but come on! These tools is what keeps Ai afloat for many. Please don’t drop the support.

   The fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.

4. Cannot Save as New File in v30

   Using the latest version of Adobe Illustrator (2026 version?)

   Trying to "save as new" but the save window does not load completely and then button shapes inside disappear and remains in this state. The only thing you can do is close the box.

   The team has identified an issue for a small subset of users who are on the Windows operating system and also have their network traffic routed through a proxy.

   A temporary solution to this issue is the following:

   1. Open up PowerShell
   2. Copy and paste the following commands:

   cd "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 2026"$env:WEBVIEW2_ADDITIONAL_BROWSER_ARGUMENTS = "--use-system-proxy-resolver"& '.\Illustrator.exe'

5. Crashes all the time. Loosing hours of work because of your faulty app

7. Illustrator 29.8.2 saved .ai-file containing outdated pdf-version

   We have a user that several times has encountered a serious bug with saving documents. Currently on version 29.8.2 (the latest available for us in the CC desktop app as of today). Windows 11.

   Attached is an AI file showing the bug. Try opening it in e.g. Photoshop and Illustrator. You get very different versions.

   It is a "PDF compatible file" saved from Illustrator, so it contains a PDF version for other apps to use, but this embedded PDF version shows an older version of the illustrator file (so opening it in Illustrator looks fine, but when using it in e.g. InDesign, you get an old version)!

   Steps (as far as I can gather):

   1. An Illustrator file has been opened in Illustrator 29.8.2.
   2. The illustrator file has been saved (File > Save) - likely a couple of times - then closed.

   Result: AI file with outdated version in the embedded PDF. All other apps show the wrong version.

   To fix it, all we have to do is re-save the file, and then it works. So it's not consistent, and hard to reproduce.

   At least during this last occurence, the user was working from home via VPN, so the network connection was a bit slower than usual if that matters. The Illustrator preferences for saving should be the default settings (attached screenshot). I believe the setting for "slow networks" does so that Illustrator saves the file locally before transferring it, so network speed shouldn't affect the result?

   Since it has happened at least a few times, we now have to manually check every time we save a file if it is actually properly saved (by checking it in InDesign/FrameMaker/etc. to verify the latest changes are included). Not good.

8. Selection reset after expand dynamic symbol

   In Illustrator, there are two types of symbols: dynamic and static. By default, when we select all symbol instances and expand them, the resulting new objects remain selected. An unexplained bug has been found with dynamic symbols:

   1. Create a dynamic symbol in a document and place its instances.
   2. Save the file.
   3. Reopen the file.
   4. Try to expand the dynamic symbol instances.

   Result: The selection is cleared from the objects, which does not happen with static symbols. If you place new instances of a dynamic symbol in the document, there is no selection loss – this only occurs with those instances that were present before the last save. This is a strange bug, and the loss of selection after expanding, in particular, makes it impossible to automate certain tasks with symbols using scripts.

   Environment: macOS, Windows 10, Adobe Illustrator various versions 2019-2025

9. "Can't define a pattern from the current art"

   Discovered in 29.8.1, also seen in beta 30.0.21. Both on MacOS 14.7.6.

   1. Draw some shapes. Select them.
   2. Object > Pattern > Make
   3. "Can't define a pattern from the current art" pops up instead of pattern edit mode.

   Dragging the shapes to the Swatch palette still works, luckily, so I can get on with what I want to do, but what the heck?

   ---

   oookayyy, further exploration reveals that it is something about one particular global color swatch?!? see attached file.

10. 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 restarting the application and computer, but the problem remained. This level of unresponsiveness made it nearly impossible to work effectively in Illustrator.

    Adobe Illustrator Version 29.8.1
    Windows 11 Enterprise Version 23H2
    RAM 32 GB
    CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H 2.50 GHz

11. フォントの表示がおかしい

    本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
    ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。

12. The Default File Location option (local or cloud) is missing in Preferences > File Handling

    Whenever we install Illustrator anew and try to save a document for the first time, we are given a choice — to save into Cloud or save locally. The default choices is Cloud and 'Don’t show again is checked) — Adobe actively wants users to use their system, I get it. However, if one makes a mistake and wants to alter this choice later — they can’t do it anymore.

    At some point we had this option exposed in Preferences > File Handling, but later it started to randomly disappear for users, with the same build used. The support can offer nothing but to reset Preferences, but it never helps to make it appear back. The blank spot is there, but the option is gone.

    We, however, can toggle it with a script, with a single line:
    app.preferences.setBooleanPreference ("AdobeSaveAsCloudDocumentPreference",false);

    or go to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file and set this key to zero:
    /AdobeSaveAsCloudDocumentPreference 0

    So the option exists, it just doesn’t get exposed.
    I personally think it’s a trap. I think Adobe lures users to use the Cloud. I think this perfectly fits the 'Adobe uses shady practices' and whatever the team can say in response (except for 'It is now fixed' with the users proving it is) I will treat as fueling these practices.

    Here’s a discussion at forums about this:
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/turning-off-save-to-cloud-as-default/td-p/13076982

14. Bug - Cannot access Hands on tutorials

    I was doing the hands on tutorials and then I loaded into the app and the section for them was gone in my tutorials tab. I found the webpage online that allows me to launch hands on tutorials from browser https://www.adobe.com/learn/illustrator?tutorialType=inApp&learnIn=1 and it leads to the screenshot provided. I would love to be able to continue doing the hands on tutorials. I ensured that I have no VPN installed, I updated graphics drivers, and reinstalled Illustrator to no avail.

15. Recent colors become None when Global or Spot Colors are used

    Some Recent Colors are displayed as the None Swatch when Spot or Global colors have been added to the Recent Colors.
    Turn on in the Edit > Color Settings all checkboxes for warnings about Mismatches or Missing profiles.
    The default is unchecked. When they are unchecked, you will get no warning when opening a file with Global (or Spot) Colors in the Recent Colors and the file just opens without showing the problem.
    When you have turned the warning checkboxes On in the Color Settings and have Quit Illustrator after adding the Global or Spot Colors in the Recent Colors, you get a warning about a Missing Profile (which is not true) when you create or open a file while the Global (or Spot) Colors are still in the Recent Colors (they are available across documents). If you click OK the file opens, just as it would with the warnings off. The warning will not show again during the current session. But if you click Cancel (as many times as the number of Global/Spot Colors that you have in your Recent Colors). The file will open with the recent Global/Spot Colors converted to None.

    Hi Everyone,

    We have fixed this bug in our latest release – v 29.8.1 which is available worldwide now.

    You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

16. Symbol not following the artwork to move when moving, after update

    I’m writing to report a bug I’ve encountered in Adobe Illustrator since updating to version 29.7.

    When working on CAD artwork that includes symbols, I’ve noticed that when I try to move a symbol, the symbol artwork doesn't follow the intended movement. Instead, it either stays in place or shifts to an unexpected position. This issue did not occur in previous versions and is significantly affecting my workflow.

    Could you please look into this and advise if there is a fix or workaround available? I’d be happy to provide a sample file or screen recording if needed.

    Thank you for your support.

    Done (Available in Prerelease)  ·  AdminAkshaya Saxena (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    Fix available in prerelease build now - version 29.8

    To be rolled out in general build soon.

17. Scroll wheel over Opacity input field only affects selected object if the input is NOT focused

    1. Switch to the CPU preview, or use the GPU preview and turn off 'real-time drawing & editing'.
    2. Make an object. Keep it selected.
    3. Hover your cursor over the opacity numeric input box in Transparency or Properties. Play with your scroll wheel. Watch the opacity change.
    4. Click in the input box. Keep the cursor over it. Play with your scroll wheel. The number changes but the object does not, until you hit return.
    5. Try this in Illustrator 2020. Observe that in both steps 3 and 4, the object changes opacity regardless of whether you click on the opacity input box or not.

    The settings in the Performance pane of the prefs interact with this:

    If the GPU preview is on, this only happens if 'real-time drawing and editing' is off.

    If the CPU preview is on, this always happens regardless of the status of the real-time drawing switch.

    I observed this on a Mac running OS 14.7.6 and Illu 29.3; this change happened somewhere between 24.3 and 29.3. I just checked 27.8.1 and it has the new, undesired behavior as well. I'll see if I can get the person who brought this glitch to my attention to report their operating system and Illu version here as well.

    This may affect other input boxes, I tried a few different stroke weight boxes and it does not affect them. The original discoverer suggested that other input boxes are affected but only listed the opacity.

19. Gradient does not rotate with object when using corner handles (manual transform)

    When an object with a gradient is rotated manually using the bounding box (corner handles), the gradient does not rotate with the object.
    However, using the Rotate tool or Object > Transform > Rotate results in correct gradient behavior.

    This silent inconsistency leads to invisible errors in print output — especially in professional workflows.

    🧪 The bug was tested on multiple Illustrator versions, macOS and Windows, fresh installs, and clean preference files. It is reproducible.

20. The name of the missing link gets trimmed from the left side in the file name field in the dialog

    But why the name of the link in File Name field in the dialog gets displayed trimmed from the left side, even though the input has PLENTY of space in my dialog window?
    This behavior is not new.
    I have my guesses that it’s a legacy behavior, to make sure the name is seen on a smaller screen in the smallest dialog... but Ai probably knows the size of the dialog window and can calculate if it fits?
