Scroll wheel crash
Logitech MX Master 2S mouse scroll wheel has stopped functioning in latest versions of AI. Currently hanging and crashing.
Latest Windows, Latest AI. Latest nvidia driver.
Asuswrx90, AMD7965, 256 QVL RAM, 5090Founders, Samsung 9100 m2 OS/CACHE/Storage drives
Expected: smooth scroll
Actual: App hangs for 2 seconds.
GPU accelleration settings on or off make no difference.
I suspect it is a logitech driver issue but a basic bit of mouse functionality in very very common hardware should not be happening.1 vote -
Info boxes don’t go away when you stop hovering over the toolbar
When you hover over the toolbar, the info boxes appear and do not go away when you take your cursor off of the tool. It covers my view too much!

Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report--"屬性" (Properties / Attributes)
Traditional Chinese UI Translation Issue Report
To Whom It May Concern,I've encountered a translation issue in the Traditional Chinese interface of Adobe Illustrator, where two different functional panels share the same translated name, "屬性" (Properties / Attributes), which causes confusion for users.
Properties panel:
In Illustrator 2024, this panel was translated as "內容" . However, in Illustrator 2025, its name has been changed to "屬性".
Its function is to dynamically display the most commonly used attributes and control options based on the currently selected object or tool.Attributes panel:
This panel has consistently been named "屬性" (Attributes).

The older “Attributes” panel now shows as “進階屬性"(Advanced Attributes) instead of just “屬性”.

The Linked File dropdown does not resize correctly, often goes offscreen
The 'Linked File' dropdown (visible when a linked file is selected) does not resize correctly.
If the lower-right corner is dragged to resize the left edge very quickly moves offscreen, then when the handle is released the dropdown is often too large to view on the monitor, as it has scaled so wide that it is off the right hand side of the screen. It is difficult to get it to all fit on the screen at once, and if the lower-right handle goes offscreen then it requires a restart of Illustrator to try again.

Recolor window appears out of frame when in isolation mode
When in isolation mode, the top of the Recolor window is out of frame, so I can't move it. Unfortunately, it pops up right over the artwork, so I can't use it.
I tried moving the panel when not in isolation mode, but it still pops up over the artwork and out of frame in isolation mode.

Multiscreen display problem
On Windows 11 pro. Multiscreen HP. Launching and Activating (to use), Adobe Illustrator causes multiscreen display, to reset to Landscape and also Disrupt other windows to Minimise and Maximise and change Portrait to Landscape format, without reason.
This also occurs over one minute, which is a waste of time, when I'm regularly jumping into Adobe Illustrator.
The layout display setup should be maintained and not be disrupted repeatedly. Please stop changing Windows display format and let the OS do the job.
I can confirm this is a problem with Adobe Illustrator with a simple test. When I activate ALL other…

Layers palette filter grabs focus when pressing Ctrl-C
Pressing Ctrl-C to copy something activates the focus on the filter field in the Layers palette. Using keyboard shortcuts becomes a landmine when this happens because you can inadvertently turn off layers or, in some cases, slow Illustrator way down by pasting SVG data into the field (Ctrl-V often follows pressing Ctrl-C). When the latter happens, Illustrator tries to filter by the text in the field, and it can take quite a while sometimes to regain focus enough to clear out the field. More often than not, however, I have to force quit and restart.
A potential side effect of…

Random inverted Movement lock during Wacom Cintiq Pen and mouse usage
I haven't used AI in awhile. I updated it today from CC. I'm on Windows 11 with a Cintiq 24. When I go to move an object or shift my workspace view, the pen motion or mouse motion will lock and invert. I won't be able to access any menu items. I was in task manager as I reproduced this. Doesn't look like it affects memory too much. Just trying to figure out if this is a bug or new setting.

Using scrollbars with a Wacom while editing text results in sticky cursor that will not stop scrolling
Using the handles in the horizontal and vertical scrollbars while text is being edited results in the cursor 'sticking' to the scrollbar and not releasing. Pressing esc, alt-tabbing away all seem to have no effect, after about 30s it stops and if I have minimised everything with Win+M. Unsure if it is purely time-based or not.
This only seems to occur when using a Wacom, the same interaction with a mouse does not suffer from the same sticky cursor.
Steps to repro:
- create a text object, and leave the cursor live inside the object. Doesn't seem to make a…1 vote -
Two finger mac trackpad zooming instead of panning randomly
When panning with two fingers trackpad on mac, it sometimes zooms in randomly instead of panning. Not sure what the issue is because it does not happen in other apps with trackpad pan/zoom feature.
