Cannot move images in my design.
I'm not able to move images in my design. If I click image trace and make the image into a vector then I can move it, but as soon as I rasterize it back into an image then I can no longer move it. I also am not able to click to select the image, I have to drag a box around it to select the image.
Things I've tried:
- Checked for update
- Restarted my computer
- Restarted Illy
- Restarted Illy while pressing shift-options-command

Many issues in Illustrator 2025
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a range of serious issues in Illustrator 2025 when working with AI or PDF files (many of which originate as PDFs and are then converted to AI for editing). Here's a breakdown of what's going wrong:⚠️ Main Problems:
Error ID: -128 when pasting text
Every time I try to paste text into a text box—whether copied from a browser, a PDF, or even another Illustrator file—I get an error saying:
Can't paste the type. ID: -128
This makes it impossible to replace or update any existing text areas.Can't move objects: transformation too large

When a justified area type with a short line gets converted into a point type, text shifts
Why this justified text suddenly jumps into the middle of the area type’s bounds when converted into a point type? Not new at all, happens in CC2017 at least. It should stay where it was. If I change it to be just left-aligned, it works as expected.

Saving Process
I recently updated my Illustrator, and I've encountered a new error. When I try to save my project, the saving process won't complete, and there are no options to cancel it. Also, it is not shown on the tasks panel. I have to open a new document and save that as a new file. After a few rounds of saving, the problem occurs again, and I have to force stop the app to prevent further issues with recovered documents.
I would greatly appreciate your help in solving this problem. Thank you.

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.

"Learn the tools" popups appearing on their own
The Learn popups for the tools on the tool bar keep appearing on their own whenever I am in the application. I have to wipe my mouse over them for them to disappear, just for them to keep popping up when I am using Illustrator. This continues to happen the entire time I am in the application.

Duplicating Artboard will unlock and show locked and hidden elements.
When using the Artboard Tool and clicking on a + sign next to an artboard while holding the Alt/Option key to duplicate an artboard with its contents, Illustrator will Show and Unlock all hidden and locked objects/layers.
It does this only the first time, when using Undo and trying again it works correct.
See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/why-does-illustrator-switch-hidden-layers-back-on-and-unlock-them-when-duplicating-an-art-board/m-p/15455446#M4498383 votesThe fix is pushed into the latest Prerelease build and is scheduled to get shipped into the next general build

Can't select linked png/bmp files when they have transparent backgrounds.
Placing several linked BMP or PNG files with transparent backgrounds causes them to become randomly unselectable by clicking on them. You have to go to outline mode, find and select the edge of the image, or select with marquee tool and then carefully unselect the extra objects. Either way, it cannot be moved except to click on the edge of the images frame. This has been an issue for years. I think I may have even posted about it before, but can't find that now. IMO this is an issue that should be escalated as it such a basic operation…

Enclosed Mode toggle button in Control and CTB
Illustrator now has a dedicated option to permanently toggle Enclosed Selection Mode, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display > Select Objects only within Marquee.
However, there’s no hotkey we can assign to this option (or any other option in Preferences!) or a button outside or Prefs — in Control panel or Contextual Task Bar... Properties I don’t mention, since it’d certainly want me to have nothing selected.Originally by Derek Watson.

Export for Screens won’t export artboards as a single file
When a document has multiple artboards and is exported as PDF using Export for Screens, although all artboards are selected and a Single File option is checked, it will still be exported as multiple files.

Copying (Ctrl+C) a Radial repeated object with a drop shadow causes crash
Illustrator 29.61
I was able to re-create the crash with the following steps:
Create New Document.
Create 5 basic shapes, group them.
From the application menu, go to Object->Repeat->Radial and apply it to the group.
Double click on the original group to isolate it, from the appearance panel add a fx drop shadow to the grouped object.
Exit isolation.
select the repeated group and copy it
Crash.Playing around with this, the crash only occurs when you add the drop shadow after applying the radial repeat. The easy solution is to apply the drop shadow prior to applying the repeat.

Brushes become a lighter tint of black in an RGB document when expanded or rasterized.
Brushes like Art Brushes are based on a CMYK document. They were created with C0 M0 Y0 K100.
When these brushes are used in an RGB document with an RGB black (0/0/0) for the stroke, the result will be around a lighter 10% black than expected because the CMYK black will be converted to RGB.
You can check that by expanding, rasterizing or Output Preview in Acrobat.
If they had been created in the CMYK document with a 100% Grey instead of CMYK values, they would have converted to the darkest black in an RGB documents (greyscale always keep their…3 votes -

Crash on new artboard
Every time I click on the "+" under my artboards window, it crashes. I have 24 artboards already, and if I duplicate one using Option click drag, it seems ok. But New Artboard crashes again and again.

As reported, this problem happens most probably due the the recent May update for Windows. At the moment removing it seems like the best soultion to solve the problem.

Contextual Task Bar and Help Bar don’t have hotkeys and these can’t be assigned
When I check Keyboard Shortcuts, Menu Commands, Window, I can find Control, Properties... but not Contextual Task Bar or Help Bar. So we can’t assign hotkeys for these and call these from keyboard when needed.
Seems like someone forgot to include these slots for customization. Please expose these.3 votes -
Illustrator wrongly says texts were created in different version of Illustrator
After the update, this message now appears, saying that my files were created in a different version. But it should be backwards compatible.
