Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info don’t get played in actions
Swatches panel’s flyout menu now has two new commands, Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info.
When we try to record these into actions, they get added fine — but once played, nothing happens at all: no gradient gets built, no color legend appears on canvas.
As always, these new additions don’t get integrated into the application enough... Please don’t abandon them!11 votesThis fix is available in latest Beta build - 30.4.0.80.

Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list
This is a 2 part issue:
If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in…

Artwork gets shifted when an artboard is resized with width and height constrained and Scale Artwork Constrained enabled
CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option. When we drag the transformation frame with the Artboard tool, the objects are scaled synchronously, and the position’s calculated properly.
However, when we start to enter the width or height of the artboard, with Constrain locked, the objects get shifted relative to the artboard after being scaled.
The problem has been confirmed on both MacOS and PC.11 votesFixed in Beta 29.1.0.93

クラウドドキュメントとして保存する際にエラーが出る
macOS 13.6.3
Illustrator ver.28.31.ILlustratorにて新規ドキュメントを作成
2.御存ダイアログを表示しクラウドドキュメントを選択。
3.新規フォルダをクリックし表示されるダイアログに日本語(ascii以外の文字を含む)で名前を付けて保存をクリック。
4.3で作成したフォルダ内に更にフォルダを作成するため、新規フォルダをクリックし表示されるダイアログに日本語(ascii以外の文字を含む)で名前を付けて保存をクリック。
5.4で作成したフォルダ内で保存をクリック
6.エラーダイアログが表示され保存できない。期待した結果
階層が深いディレクトリ構造でも正常にクラウドファイルが保存される。実際の結果
フォルダ構造が多重構造である状態でフォルダ名にマルチバイト文字が利用されていた場合、クラウドドキュメントを保存できない。フォルダ階層が2層以上で、かつフォルダ名称がマルチバイト文字を含む場合、クラウドドキュメントの保存が失敗します。
これはver.27.8以降で起きる問題です。ver.26以前のIllustratorでは正常に保存可能です。
手元のテストではハイアスキーやルーン文字では保存できるがキリル文字はダメなど全てのマルチバイトがだめだというわけではありませんでした。以下のコミュニティスレッドをご参照ください。

Drop shadows appear lighter in v28.1
Drop shadows appear lighter in version 28.1 compared to previous versions.
Applying a drop shadow and opening the same file side-by-side in two versions makes this clear. Both shadows have the same settings, files have the same colour settings and profile, and are displayed on the same monitor.
The example images show version 28.1 and 27.9, but the change is evident between 28.0 and 28.1.

The ignoreWhite property of tracingOptions does not work
Illustrator v 28.0 - Image Trace option check box for Ignore White has been replaced with Ignore Color and an eyedropper option. While I think this is a good addition for manual use, it appears to have somewhat broken the ability to use image trace properly in javascript as the change has made the original "tracingOptions.ignoreWhite = true" no longer work. I suspect there is now an additional option/variable responsible for the color to be ignored's selection but it doesnt appear to be refferenced in any of the current documentation. I've tried adding the method for Abutting (also undocumented) as…

Transparency panel shows 0% for the mixed opacity values
When having a selection of art with mixed opacity values, Transparency panel should display blank, as Illustrator does for color values or stroke weights, but instead it lies they all have 0%.

Crash after moving complex artwork outside the artboard
I'm testing the new release (27.2 on MacOS) before the whole company can safely move to the new environment. I basically can crash the whole software in a few seconds. What I need to do is:
1) I need to open a big file - I've used files 23.5 MB, 43MB, 64.7 MB, 15.1MB (the files have been created in previous versions of Illustrator ).
2) Turn on wire view in Illustrator (command + Y)
3) select with lasso all points that are on the artboard
4) switch to select tool (V)
5) Start to move objects outside of the…

A size of a selection with a certain object inside is calculated wrong
Take a look at the GIF attached and the document.
When the text object is selected, Illustrator fails to calculate the size and coordinates of the selection and uses the previous values.- Open the file and display both Transform and Control panel (I don’t know if Properties panel does the same, because it’s just completely empty for me — another bug)
- Select the object with numbers — both panels display all zeroes (but Control has editable fields, while Transform have them disabled)
- Select any of two rectangles the document — panels display correct size (150×450 mm) and proper coordinates
- Select…

Alt/Opt clicking into the spectrum bar in Color panel now changes both fill and stroke on release
When I hold Alt/Opt and drag the cursor over the spectrum bar, I am able to change the color of the inactive attribute — in this case stroke, since fill is activated. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the fill gets changed to the picked color too! This was not the case in the the previous version.

Overprint Preview + Show Grid + canvas matching color = white canvas
If you turn Overprint preview on, enable grids, and set the canvas color to match the UI brightness (in Preferences > User Interface), you get a white canvas instead of usual and expected dark.
Turning grid off makes it filled with the matching color again.
It makes SOME sense, but does not really help with anything and makes some users wonder about 'how to fix it'.

Layer's options display 'Dim Images' turned on when it's off
- Go to Layer Options
- Enable 'Template' option
- Uncheck 'Dim Images to' option
- Hit OK
- Go to Layer Options again
- 'Dim Images' is on by itself, despite I turned it off in step 3

Isolate object doesn't work at all inside Envelope's 'Edit contents' mode
When you edit contents of an envelope distortion, using the dedicated button in Control to do so, Isolation is not possible. I somewhat understand what technical difficulties are behind this, but... this feature is not new. You should have completed it way long ago. It’s sad to see when integration between native tools is poor and unpolished.
I need to isolate whenever I need to, within envelopes, compound paths, type characters.11 votes -
PNG import broken
Illustrator 25.4.8. (on macOS 10.14.6) can't import PNG files any more. For PNG files that have already been placed in previous versions, Illustrator reports a broken link and doesn't allow to relink. (PNG import worked fine in the previous version of Illustrator.)
11 votesIf this issue still happens for you, please share a PNG image that Ai fail to place. You can do this directly in the comment or send it over to sharewithai@adobe.com if you are not allowed to share it publicly.
There is a separate report on failing specifically with 1-bit PNGs you can upvote also, if it’s your case.

Global Color swatch copied into new document even if not used on element being copy/pasted.
Problem: create a square with stroke=0 and fill=100% black. Copy and paste into new document and color swatches are okay. Now go to first document and add a Global Color swatch (i.e. Pantone Green) but don't add it to the square (so it's still stroke=0 / fill=100% black). Copy the square and paste it into a new document. For some reason, that Global Color (Pantone Green) swatch is added to the swatch palette of the new document. Now choose 'Select All Unused', the Pantone Green is selected to prove it's not being used in the element (square) you copy/pasted from…

Illustrator 25.4.1 Generating constant 105MB log files into com.adobe.dunamis folder and filling up hard drive
When I am working in Illustrator, my fan starts to run and Illustrator generates multiple log files per minute in the com.adobe.dunamis folder. Each log file is roughly 105MB and before I was able to pinpoint what was going on, it filled my hard drive with 750GB of log files. If I close Illustrator and reopen it, it stops for awhile but I haven't been able to pinpoint what triggers the start of the log file generation – it isn't consistently doing it, but it does occur multiple times per day.

Copy/paste vector: Illustrator → Figma/Inkscape gives inconsistent results
SInce 25.3, some shapes are distorted when copied from AI to Figma, Inkscape or any other software, as you can see in the attached image.
It's not systematic. I attached a document to reproduce the issue.
Note that it's not fixed by the last prerelease.I attached an example.
