  1. ブラックの色をドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100の色がリッチブラックになる

    塗り(または線)を画像のように下のブラックを選択するところからドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100がリッチブラックになってしまった。 
ドラッグ&ドロップではなく、クリックで色を選ぶとBK100になる。スウォッチの中に入っているブラックからドラッグ&ドロップで選ぶとBK100になる。これはCS6の時からある

  2. Can't see anchor point and handles of paths after breaking link to symbol.

    1. Version 21.1.0
    2. Draw the circle or any other simple shape, convert it to symbol then break link to symbol. Choose Direct selection tool and click on any anchor point. As result you will not see the handles of any point. The handles are shown only in isolation mode or outline mode but not in basic prewiew mode.

  3. 新しいブレンドで作成した部分が旧バージョンで編集できない Blends created with 30.7 aren’t editable in older builds

    再現手順
    1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に2つのパスを描く
    2. 2つのパスを選択し、ブレンドツールでブレンドをおこなう。
    3. ブレンドパネル上のドロップダウンで「ステップ」を選択しアピアランスのスライダーを調節する。
    4. ドキュメントを保存し閉じる。
    5. ver.29などの旧バージョンで保存したドキュメントを開く。
    6. 「現在使用できないプラグインで管理されている要素が含まれていると警告ダイアログが表示されろ。
    7. そのまま開くとブレンド部分は表示されるが、編集に表示が追随しない。

    期待する結果
    新しいブレンドを使った部分も旧バージョンにおいても、編集可能な状態でデータが保存される。

    実際の結果
    新しいブレンドを利用して作成した部分は互換性が無い。

    これまで、Illustratorに新しい機能が追加された時にはVersionedContentという仕組みを利用して後方互換性が維持されていました。今回の新しいブレンドは、そういった仕組みを利用していません。適切なプラグインを持たない旧バージョンではこの部分は不明なPluginItemとして処理されドキュメントに埋め込まれたレンダリング結果だけが表示されパスを操作しても効果がありません。
    この部分はVersionedContentとして構成し、旧バージョンにおいては新しいブレンドで作成された部分を拡張した状態で開けるようにするべきでしょう。

    Steps to Reproduce
    1. Open a new document and draw two pathItems on the artboard.
    2. Select the two pathItems and blend them using the Blend Tool.
    3. Select “Step” from the drop-down menu on the (New) Blend panel and adjust the Appearance slider.
    4. Save and close the document.
    5. Open the saved document in an older version, such as ver. 29.
    6. A warning dialog appears stating, “This document contains elements managed by a plug-in that…

  4. エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる/Envelope Distort becomes misaligned at large scale

    問題の説明:
    エンベロープにしたオブジェクトを極端に拡大すると結果がズレる

    再現手順:
    1. ドキュメントを作成してオブジェクトを描画し、適当なカラーを設定する
    →長方形や楕円形など、何でも良い。確認しやすくするため、小さめに作ると良い
    2. オブジェクトを選択し、「オブジェクト」メニュー→「エンベロープ」→「メッシュで作成」を実行する
    3. ダイアログで好きなメッシュ数を設定し、エンベロープを作成する
    4. 出来上がったエンベロープを選択したまま、3000~4000%など大きなパーセンテージで拡大する。
    →バウンディングボックス、拡大・縮小ツール、変形パネルでの数値指定など、拡大の方法は何でも良い

    実際の結果:
    特定の大きさを超えると、エンベロープ内のオブジェクトがメッシュからズレた大きさで変形される

    期待された結果:
    どれだけ拡大してもメッシュに合わせた大きさでエンベロープ内のオブジェクトが変形される

    回避方法:
    必要な大きさまで拡大してからエンベロープを作成する

  5. W-Hの数値がリンクアイコンがアクティブなのにリンクしない

    Illustrator ver.28 以降
    macOS14.7.2

    再現手順
    1. Illustratorを起動して、新規ドキュメントを開き、アートボード上に矩形を描く。
    2. コントロールバーのWをクリックしてパネルを展開する。
    3. Wの欄に数値を入力し、タブキーでHに移る。
    4. リンクアイコンがアクティブになっているにも関わらずWとHの数値がリンクしない。親元のコントロールバーでは正常にリンクしている。

    期待する結果

    実際の結果
    片方の入力にもう一方が追随しない。

    代替の手順。
    数字を入力する前にアクティブになっているリンクアイコンをクリックしてオフにし、再度クリックしてリンクをアクティブにする。
    起動後1度だけこの手順を行うと以降は正常に動作する。

    The issue seems to visible at our end after closing the Illustrator and reopening the file. However, it is just the value does not get updated in the pop up panel. The transformation change on the object happens fine and is reflected properly in the properties panel as well. Let us know if you are experience similar behavior or not.

  6. Picking Eyedropper temporarily disables Smart Guides

    As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1p6ecuj/behavior_of_eyedropper_tool_changed_recently/

    In previous versions (can’t say for sure now when it stopped) we were able to aim with the Eyedropper better, when Smart Guides were enabled. In CC 2017 it works. Was quite helpful to pick color from a stroke, highlighting the object that is going to be sampled. Cool, right?

    But now, I suppose with the Photoshop-style sampling rings glued on, Illustrator forgot it’s a vector program. The sampling ring should not disable Smart guides!

    I somewhat get why pressing Shift might disable it, because Shift enables the 'sample by pixel' mode, and picking a color…

  7. Holding Shift when picking a color from a gradient in a CMYK document samples the wrong color

    Even though we can hold Shift to pick a color form an object with a gradient applied, it picks the color sampled from the screen — the RGB value.
    It means if we are in a CMYK document and picking a color from a white-to-black gradient, the picked color would NOT be a shade of black, as expected, but an atrocious converted muddy RGB value.
    This is not what it should do!

  8. Color dropdown gets drawn in the top left corner of the screen when first called

    When first called, the color dropdown appears in the top left corner of the display. The second call renders it where it should be. Also (not noticeable in the video, since Sharex doesn’t record clicks) — I had to click the chip twice to make it appear.

  10. Illustrator uses 100% CPU, sustained, even when idle and no documents open

    I've observed many times that when Illustrator (29.7.1, on macOS 15.6) is idle in the background, it's running a 100% CPU task. Even if I close all of its open documents, the CPU use is at 100% CPU, and stays there until I quit.

  11. Curved paths not honouring guide styles / Guides are not dotted

    When converting artwork to guides, anything that has a curved path does not show the guide style set up in preferences. In my case I have guides set up as a dashed line with a light grey colour. What I'm seeing is a solid black line. Happens in AI 29.6.1 and the beta 29.7 88. Sample shows two shapes converted to guides but the ellipse remains as a solid black line. Using MacOS 14.7.6.

  12. グループに含まれるテキストの組方向を正確に表示しない

    iMac27inch/i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD/macOS14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.26以降で確認

    Step to Reproduce
    1. 新規ドキュメントにポイントテキストを複数作成する。そのうち、いくつかは縦組みに設定。
    2. すべてのポイントテキストを選択してグループ化する。
    3. ダイレクト選択ツールまたはTツールで縦組みのテキストを選択する。
    4. メニュー:書式→組み方向を選択した際に縦組みテキストを選択しているにもかかわらず横組にチェックが入っている。

    期待する結果
    縦組みのテキストを選択した際には該当メニューで縦組みにチェックマークがついている。

    実際の結果
    縦組みを選択しているにも関わらず横組みにチェックマークがついている。

    この縦組み・横組の表示は選択範囲に複数の状態が含まれた場合にデフォルトの横組が選択されるという挙動になっています。端的に言って、この複数ステートをデフォルトで表示してしまうのも問題です。本来であれば双方にチェックマークがつかない状態で表示するべきところです。
    グループ化されたオブジェクトの一部を選択した場合でもこの組み方向の機能はペアレントの状態を参照しているようです。正確に選択範囲の状態を反映した表示にするべきです。

    EN Translate
    Step to Reproduce
    1. Create several point texts in a new document. Set some of them to vertical type orientation.
    2. Select and group all point texts.
    3. Select the vertical text with the Direct Selection tool or the Text tool.
    4. when selecting Menu: Type-> Type Orientation, the Horizontal checkbox is checked even though the vertical text is selected.

    Expected Result
    When vertical text is selected, a check mark is placed in the vertical menu.

  13. Custom art brush results in way too many anchor points when expanded

    As reported here by Peachtears13: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1kei4zn/custom_art_brush_results_in_way_too_many_anchor/

    Having a simple path (with minimum amount of points), applying a simple art brush (with minimum amount of points), and then expanding it gives a ton of extra points, hardly needed to define resulting shapes.

    It worked MUCH better in CS4... and then became much worse in CS6 (or perhaps in CS5) — take a look at the images attached.

    Yes, there are tools to deal with the mess afterwards: native Simplify, plugin VectorFirstAid... but it should not be like this in the first place.

    And please, do not 'solve' it by throwing in…

  14. Add “...” to the menu items of the modal dialog

    en

    In macOS apps, it is customary to append “...” to menu items that require the user to perform additional actions after selecting the menu item (e.g., modal dialogs). This is found in the Human Interface Guidelines | Apple Developer Documentation.

    ![humaninterfaceguidelines.png](humaninterfaceguidelines.png)

    Illustrator 2025 (29.4) followed this rule, but Illustrator 2025 (29.5) has departed from this rule for a few items.

    • File > Generate Vectors
    • Object > Generate Vectors
    • Object > Gen Shape Fill

    ![menu.png](menu.png)

    The change should be allowed if it is intentional, but seeing that the other items still follow the rules, it…

  15. Offset Path and Aligned Strokes get rendered partially with a specific handle configuration

    When a curved segment of a path has diverging handles that are oriented in different quadrants across the X axis (this is my guess), like it’s shown in the attached document and the GIF, Illustrator renders the result only up to the horizontal tangents of the path. Same thing happens if you try to toggle Align Stroke options (they seem to use the Offset math).

    Adding and extra point on the rendered segment helps, but it’s not really a solution.
    The bug is quite old and perhaps it’s time to get it fixed?

  16. 中韓フォントの文字組みを変更してもアキが変わらない

    フォント「思源黑體 TW」の文字組みを「なし」や「行末約物半角」などに変更しても、アキ量が変化しない現象がありました。
    上記現象が発生したバージョンは下記の通りです。

    OS:Windows 10 Pro
    Illustrator CC:V 29.1、V 29.2、V 29.3.1(V 29.2.1、V 29.3は調べてません)
    なお、V 29.0、V 28.7.3 は当該現象は発生していません。

    問題発生時の手順:

    ・スクリプトを使いCSVデータを読み込んで文字情報を取得、文字をイラストに書き込む
    ・文字入力後、フォント「思源黑體 TW」へ変更
    上記どちらでも問題が発生します。

    想定していた結果:
    添付をご参照ください。
     V29.0文字組み「なし」.png
     V29.0
    文字組み「行末約物半角」.png

    実際の結果:
    添付をご参照ください。
     V29.1文字組み「行末約物半角」.png
     V29.1
    文字組み「なし」.png
    この2つの全角、半角のアキが同じ(変化がない)となっております。
    (どれを選んでも「なし」と同じ状態です)

    他のフォント(下記)で試してみましたが、アキ量の変化は確認できました。

    ・源ノ角ゴシック JP
    ・A-OTF UD新ゴ Pr6N L
    ・メイリオ
    ・游ゴシック

    Illustratorフォーラムにも投稿し他の方にもご検証いただいたところ、日本語以外(繁体字、簡体字、ハングル)のフォントで同様の現象が起きているようです。
    また、InDesign20.1(2025)でも同様の現象が起きているようです。

    I am creating a logo package for a client and am attempting to export multiple logos / graphics with transparent backgrounds using the export panel. I've already confirmed multiple times that my PNG settings include transparency and that the View > Overprint Preview setting is unchecked. My background layer is set to non printing, however any PDF or PNG I export includes a visible background layer. I can completely hide this layer to avoid exporting it, but then I can't see my artwork correctly. The whole point of non printing layers is to see them when you are designing without…

  19. Edit Contents button in Control panel ignores the scope and always prefers the layer-level clip to the selected object-level clip

    In Illustrator we can make object-lelvel clip groups, by selecting objects and using Make Clipping Mask command.

    We also can apply a clipping mask directly to a layer if we select a path for a mask only, highlighting the layer we need to clip in Layers, and using a different Make Clipping Mask command, from the panel’s flyout menu.

    But then, if we select the object level clipping group and decide to select its clipped content, using the dedicated button in Control panel, it will ignore the scope and the intention and prefer to select the clipped layer’s content —…

  20. Can’t select an object under a locked object

    I'd like to be able to work on an area that is under a locked layer.
    Currently I can't select anything that is under it. Selection tools just want to select the object on top that it ain't allowed to select... Can't it ignore it? It is locked.

    Maybe there is a paramaeter somewhere about it, but I didn't find it so far.

    Example of use : You have a reference image/object that you put on top with multiply or darken mode and some transparency.
    You could say put it under your working layer and ask you working layer to…

    This most probably happens because of the 'Select and Unlock objects on canvas' option being enabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display section.

    It allows to 'select' and unlock all or chosen objects directly on canvas. If you wish to have this option split into two — one for unlock widgets and one for having an ability to 'select' locked objects — please upvote a corresponding feature request here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/48753221
