  1. 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.

    Attached a native-export-png and a result of a svg-export-png.

  2. 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…

  3. 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…

  4. 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 shape

    expected result: only vector outline is seen during drawing
    actual result: filled shape is seen during drawing

    I 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…

  5. 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.

  9. 「プリント」を実行した直後に Illustrator がクラッシュして終了する

    Illustratorのバージョン:
Illustrator 29.4 日本語版
    OS:
macOS Sonoma 14.7.7
    ハードウェア環境:
    ・機種名:iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020
    ・CPU:3.3 GHz 6コア Intel Core i5
    ・メモリ:8 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
    ・GPU:AMD Radeon Pro 5300 4GB
    プリンター:
Fuji Xerox DocuColor 1450 GA(Wi-Fi接続)

    再現手順:
    1. Illustrator で任意のドキュメントを開く
    2. メニュー「ファイル」>「プリント」を選択
    3. プリントダイアログで用紙サイズや設定を変更
    4. 「プリント」をクリック

    実際の結果:
    ・「プリント」を実行した直後に Illustrator がクラッシュして終了する
    期待する結果:
    ・「プリント」を実行しても落ちずに、正常にプリント処理が行われる

    補足情報:
    ・データの複雑さやIllustratorの起動時間は関係ないように感じる
    ・他の EPSON 製プリンターでは同じ操作を行ってもクラッシュは発生しない
    ・DocuColor 1450 GA のプリンタードライバーを再インストールしたが、問題は改善しなかった

    クラッシュレポートのスクリーンショットを添付します。

  12. The blue "new feature" dot on the Pencil tool isn't going away in a secondary toolbar.

    I have a tiny little toolbar that is nothing but the Draw Above/Below/Inside indicator and the current tool. It'd just be the Draw Location widget but apparently you have to show the current tool in every toolbar. A lot of the time I work with the main toolbar off and just this up.

    Switching to another tool and back doesn't clear the blue dot, even though I've checked the Pencil's settings and seen the new options, and the dot's vanished from the main toolbar.

    The blue dot does go away if I close and restart Illustrator so it's not like…

  13. The object doesn’t get aligned properly

    The aligning is not working at all, the first version of the Adobe Illustrator update highlighted the artboard in use in a bold black line, please bring that back and fix the aligning.

  15. Disabling "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" corrupts custom workspace

    When "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" in General Preferences is disabled, the next time Illustrator is run, my custom workspace is corrupted, for lack of a better word. The toolbar and all panels are missing, and the Control Panel has become floating.

  17. I can't Knockout in a clip mask

    After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.

    [p1] Establish a clipping mask group, check Knockout;

    [p2] Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have the knockout effect.

    [p3] But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.

    [p4] But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal.

    This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same…
