Text wraps differently in Illustrator 2025 compared to previous version
Encountered a very frustrating bug after updating to Illustrator 2025 today and opening an existing file. It turns out that text within type areas wraps slightly differently in this new version, causing overflow errors in several places throughout the document.
The file I discovered this in was created yesterday in Illustrator 28.5.
Interestingly, when I hover the affected text area, the blue preview rendering shows the old, expected wrapping. There is no way to get it back in the actual, rendered text, though.
Zero changes have been made to this file since yesterday—only the Illustrator version has changed. I checked…

Draw Inside doesn’t work when a clipping group is selected, requires to select its clipping mask specifically
Draw Inside is great. Draw Inside lets you create a clipping mask in a fraction of the time it takes to create it with Object > Clipping mask > Make. But it's got some annoying issues.
- Draw a shape.
- Select it and turn on Draw Inside.
- Draw some shapes inside it.
- Exit Draw Inside, then select the clipping group with the Selection tool.
- Draw Inside won't work any more.
- Switch to the Direct Selection tool and select the clipping mask — Draw Inside works.
The other case is Draw Inside won’t work with live compound shapes — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/49064681

Pencil tool now smooths way to much, ignores details
Please enable the former way of working with the pencil tool again.
The tool now smoothes far too much on its own, even when set to "smooth as little as possible", it is now really inaccurate, small movements are ignored.
Real free drawing is no longer possible , that is making this wonderful, intuitive tool partially unusable. Only roughly usable for creating character designs, for example. where we need tiny details. Such a shame.3 votes -
Undo (CMD+Z) doesn't work correctly with "Scale Artwork with Artboard" feature
When I scale artboard, and use new "Scale Artwork with Artboard (finally ;)" feature, and then try to undo to previous scale (Cmd+Z), some objects don't return to previous position and remain outside artboard. Please see screen recording, attached.

Make pressing Escape close Color modal dropdowns for Fill and Stroke in all panels
If we open Character panel, unfold any dropdown in it and press Escape — this dropdown closes back.
If we click underlined Stroke or Opacity in Properties, pressing Escape does the same.
But if we click Fill or Stroke button in any panel (Control, Properties, Appearance), to get the Swatches/Mixer/Gradient/Generate dropdown... Escape does nothing.
It should close this dropdown, as it does for everything else in Ai.3 votes -
線を細く設定した際の表示バグ
線の太さを0.001pxなどに設定した場合、設定は出来ているのに実際の線の表示位置と、選択できる線実体の位置にズレが生じます。
表示限界かとは思いますが、表示できないなら設定も出来なくすべきかと思います。3 votes -
Global colors used in a freeform gradient don’t get added into Swatches when it’s pasted into another document until the file is reopened
If you use global color swatches in the freeform gradient and copy to a new document, the global color doesn't get added to the swatches palette — you have to save and reopen the file for the swatch to appear.

Illustrator 28.4 does not preserve SVG object hierarchy
Starting with Illustrator 28.4, the object hierarchy is not preserved when saving and re-opening an SVG file. Many groups are created for no apparent reason.
See this link for examples: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-28-4-svg-export-does-not-preserve-hierarchy/td-p/14871718#M3695
This makes Illustrator completely impractical for editing SVG files. I will have to stay at 28.3 until this error is fixed.
3 votesThe team has verified this current problem to be a regression break and intends to push the fix into the next Beta build.

Contextual alternates don’t work for Cyrillic letters with Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers
While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.
Take a look at the GIF attached.

Recovery opens Print.ai document profile instead of restoring a document after crash
This has happened twice in the past few days, the first time Illustrator unexpectedly crashed and just now it froze and I had to force quit the program. Both times, when I reopen Illustrator it tells me it's recovered my file(s), shows the correct document name (like Untitled-3, etc) and I press OK. It then pulls up a document called Print.ai which is just a blank artboard, maybe something I made in the past and didn't use? I go to the folder on my computer where the recovered files are supposed to go, it will say the folder has been…
3 votesElizabeth, the team suspects that can be triggered by moving the original file to another folder while it’s still opened.
Then, if Ai crashes, if can’t properly locate it and it leads to this exact problem.
Does it sound like something that could have been the case?

Fonts not loading Illustrator 24 v28.6
Running Windows 10, Illustrator 24 v 28.6
I have been trying to upload fonts today... all day on 7 fonts! I have uploaded, installed, removed, updated, rebooted, and reinstalled and rebooted again trying to get the fonts to load.
Of the 7 fonts I needed to install, 6 have uploaded properly. The final one, Bebas, has refused to be recognized. See attached photos. It shows that it is uploaded, installed and even gives an error showing there are duplicates, but the installed font will not open in illustrator 24 v28.6

Flickering Pasteboard with GPU Preview
This is an ongoing, intermittent issue with Illustrator on Mac. It predates the M-series chips in my memory. The issue is that when the GPU preview is on the pasteboard starts to flicker (see attached). This is not tied to a specific action or effect in my experience, but happens randomly. Suggestions are to turn off GPU preview (not terribly helpful) or turn it off/on which sometimes works, or restart which sometimes works. Can you PLEASE figure out why this happens (has been happening for years!) and fix it.

macOS13.6.7
Illustrator 28.6問題が発生したときに実行していた手順
1. 画像を配置し、選択した状態で「画像トレース」パネルを開く。
2. プレビューをチェックしカラーモードをグレースケールに設定する。
3. 詳細を展開しオプションの「カラーを透過」のチェックボックスをチェックする。
4. カラーを透過がアクティブになっているにも関わらずカラーピッカーが選択できない。想定していた結果
他のカラーモードのようにカラーピッカーで透過色を選択できる。実際の結果
カラーピッカーで透過色を選択できない。デフォルトでは白が透過色となっているためカラーを変更していない場合にチェックボックスをチェックした場合は白が透過されるが、他のカラーモードで透過色を選択した上でカラーモードをグレースケールに変更した場合、 透過色が以前のモードのまま保持されるため透過される部分がなくなる。EN
The color picker with color transparency cannot be used when the color mode is set to Grayscale.Steps to reproduce

2. Check the preview and set the color mode to grayscale.
3. Expand Advanced and check the checkbox for the option "Ignore Color".
