Can't see any Artboards
Every project I access opens, but I can't see any artboards. I have tried downgrading and uninstalling+reinstalling, to no effect.
Would be grateful for any input on my situation.

After updating my system to Sequoia 15.7.2, the text tools stopped working.
After updating my system to Sequoia 15.7.2, the text tools stopped working.
Any action I perform on the text, such as changing the size or font, produces no result. The app slows down significantly. My work has completely stopped because of this.
I have the latest version, 30.0, installed.
I tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling Illustrator, but that didn't help.
I also tried installing an older version, but the result was the same. Is Illustrator incompatible with the new Sequoia 15.7.2?Any ideas?

Blending tool undo
Whenever I undo one shape inside the blended elements, it doesn't go back to the initial position. Instead, it stops mid way and the CMD+Z button moves it back 1 pixel closer to the initial position. Moving the object is also a challenge where the second I release the mouse click, it shifts further away.

A generative fill prompt errantly claims it's a violation of guidelines
"A painterly sun in the style of Vincent van Gogh" causes a big red error to be displayed claiming that the prompt violates guidelines. Van Gogh's works are all public domain and should not raise any exceptions like this.

Artboard width & height removed from upper tool bar. PUT IT BACK
Now to access the width and height you must go to the properties panel. Why are we making extra steps? Fix this

The Eraser Tool sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry
The Eraser Tool, even with a size of 0 pt (but also with 1 or 2 pt), sometimes deletes entire blocks of geometry, sometimes draws a gap in the geometry (as it should always do). This bug has always existed, you have never fixed it. Often, to make partial deletions of the geometry, I have to use other software (such as CorelDRAW).

Problem with Eyedropper tool on text
Illustrator 30.0 on Mac Ventura 13.7.8
When I try to use the Eyedropper tool on a text, it only samples the object's top Appearance, not the text's at Character level.
In the sample video, the characters should become grey, with the text object having a white outline behind. But you can see it only picks up the white outline and not the character colour.
My Eyedropper tool is set to pick up everything (all boxes are ticked).

Generative Expand ruins stroked linework
Please fix the Generative Expand. It ruins your linework and makes random lines on object. It becomes impossible to work around because even the scissor tool cant cut it since there is a ton of nodes.
It also gets complicated with the shape builder as that tool ruins the stroke weights.
Lastly the stroke / fill thing it keeps swapping it to fill instead of stroke then you have to re put the lineweights every single time.
Some of the parts of the lines even get removed.2 votes -
Sometimes Alt-dragging a Variable Stroke Width width handle results in the other side of the handle snapping to 0
Sometimes Alt-dragging a Variable Stroke Width width handle results in the other side of the handle snapping to 0. Very unexpected behavior.
I have not as yet found a repeatable test case for this, perhaps now that I've posted this bug I will try to isolate it the next time this happens to be and add it here :)

拡大縮小
バージョン30.0で拡大縮小ツールで「パターンの変形」のみを行おうとした際、ダイアログ上で「オブジェクトの変形」「パターンの変形」の両方のチェックが入った状態（もしくはオブジェクトの変形からパターンの変形に変更）から、「オブジェクトの変形」のチェックを外して「パターンの変形」のチェックのみにして実行するとパターンの変形が何度やっても実行されない。（最初から「パターンの変形」のみにチェックが入っていた場合のみパターンの変形が実行される）
場合によっては、その後のオブジェクトの拡大縮小も挙動がおかしくなるので再起動が必要になる。
なお、他の変形ツールに関しては未確認。2 votes -
Setting Opacity twice wrongly affects the CMYK values on effects underneath
(2019 Mac Pro - Sequoia 15.6.1 - Illustrator 29.8.2)
Draw a box, fill it with 25% black, apply an effect such as Blur through the Appearance Panel.
On a new layer, draw another box which intersects the previous box. Make this new box 50% Magenta. Set it to Darken.
Select the newly created layer and change the blending mode on the entire layer. Set it to Darken as well.
View Separations Preview. Black only. You will notice that the MAGENTA box has intensified the BLACK plate in the areas where it intersects.
This happens when choosing any CMYK color, not just magenta on black. It also happens if you double any blending mode - Darken, Multiply, etc. Even Overprinting and Darkening the same object affects the underlying effect.

Color changes (and other things) do not change until I click on the page somewhere in Illustrator 2026
As in the title. I cannot see the changes I've made (fill color, stroke color, or fill/stroke flip) until I click on the page. Also after working on a file for some time, the "info" data stops working. i.e. the height and width (of an object) show zero instead of a number value. Restarting the app fixes it, but only temporarily.
Note: these same things are happening on 2 (completely different computers). One is a high-powered Alienware Area 51 desktop, the other is a high-powered Dell.

Overprint lines not working in Illustrator 2026 (v. 30)
The overprint feature is not working (both lines and fills). Not only does it not work with the Separation Preview in the app, but when output to PDF it is confirmed to not work. Inks that are indicated to overprint are knocking out.

BUG: Settings for number of decimals in SVG exports resets after restarting Illustrator
Illustrator isn’t saving the number of decimals that has been changed in the "Save as..." and "Export as..." dialog boxes. When quitting Illustrator, the value resets to 1, which isn’t an ideal default setting.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new file in Illustrator.
- Open "Export as..."
- Select "SVG (SVG)" as the file format.
- Change the number of decimals to a value other than 1.
- Click OK to export the file.
- Quit and reopen Illustrator.
- When you open the Export dialog again, the value for Number of Decimals is reset to 1.
Expected behavior:
The last used value for the number of decimals should remain as the preset.
I am using Illustrator 30.0 on macOS 15.7 (24G222).
By the way: A default setting of 1 for the number of decimals is the worst preset.

"Use Artboards" unchecked and still exporting artboards for SVG files
For PNG files, artboard is exported on first save, then saves correctly on the second attempt for whatever reason. Not so lucky with SVG. Having to manually export each one, open in a new window, crop the artboard, repeat...
