1. Type properties panel bug

   Every time when changing a text's properties and deselecting it the text is reverted to size 12. Also when a different colour is applied to part of the text and deselecting it, the colour is applied to the whole text. The situation is the same with different font styles - setting part of the text in bold will result that everything is changed to bold when deselected. It happens every time.

   We have the fix available in the latest release. Please update Illustrator using Adobe Creative Cloud application to the latest build for version Illustrator CC 23.0.
   Please refer to our knowledge base FAQ – https://illustrator.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1844590 if you face difficulty in update.
   Or get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html

2. Color panel does not cycle Tab focus, causing all panels to be hidden. on MacOs

   Illustrator version: 2026 (30.2.1/30.3)

   Steps to reproduce:

   1. Create a new document.
   2. Open the Color panel (Window > Color).
   3. Click on the first numeric input field (e.g., C value in CMYK mode).
   4. Press Tab repeatedly to move focus through the fields.

   Expected result:

   Focus cycles through all input fields within the Color panel — after reaching the last field, Tab returns focus to the first field, keeping focus inside the panel. This is how other panels (e.g., Character, Transform) behave.

   Actual result:

   When Tab is pressed from the last input field, focus escapes the Color panel entirely. Because Tab is also the shortcut to show/hide all panels in Illustrator, this immediately triggers the "hide all panels" action, causing the entire panel set to disappear. Pressing Tab again does not restore the panels — there is no response at all, leaving the user with no way to recover via keyboard.

   This is a serious operational problem: a routine action (navigating between color input fields) unintentionally collapses the entire workspace with no keyboard recovery path.

   Note: This is distinct from the related bug "Color Mixer in Control and Properties panels gets broken after using Tab" (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50129499), where fields break visually. This report concerns the absence of focus cycling in the standalone Color panel and its destructive side effect.

   タイトル: カラーパネルでTabキーのフォーカスが循環せず、全パネルが非表示になってしまう

   再現手順:

   1. 新規ドキュメントを作成する。
   2. カラーパネルを開く（ウィンドウ > カラー）。
   3. 最初の数値入力フィールド（例：CMYKモードのC値）をクリックする。
   4. Tabキーを繰り返し押してフォーカスを移動する。

   期待される動作:
   文字パネルや変形パネルなど他のパネルと同様に、Tabキーでパネル内の入力フィールドを順に移動し、最後のフィールドの次は最初のフィールドへとフォーカスが循環する。

   実際の動作:
   最後の入力フィールドでTabキーを押すと、フォーカスがカラーパネルの外へ抜けてしまう。IllustratorにおいてTabキーは「全パネルの表示/非表示」のショートカットでもあるため、フォーカスが抜けた直後にそのショートカットが発動し、全パネルが一斉に非表示になってしまう。この状態から復帰しようと再度Tabキーを押しても一切反応がなく、キーボード操作での復帰手段がない。

   これは深刻な操作上の問題である。カラー値の入力フィールドを移動するという日常的な操作が、意図せずワークスペース全体を崩壊させ、キーボードでは回復不可能な状態に陥らせてしまう。

   Illustrator version: 2026 (30.2.1/30.3)

3. Thumbnails glitching when saved

   Randomly, when files and thumbnails are saved out of Illustrator, the resulting thumbnails are glitched in a variety of ways. This glitch is present in the preview in the Finder window, but upon opening the file again, the glitch is not present. This is not from appearances or overprint being applied to artwork elements, as we are familiar with the issues those settings present in a print production environment, and this is a separate issue.

   • Running on a MacBook Pro, 2021, running Sequoia 15.0.
   • Using Illustrator 30.0.
   • The issue occurs when Illustrator saves a file or thumbnail, randomly, without any indicators that it's going to happen.
   • The preview of the file and the thumbnails of the file should match exactly how the file appears in Illustrator, but the saved -preview and thumbnails appear glitched in some way.

   A) In the orange file example, the file is saved exactly as shown in screenshot A1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with elements duplicated and scaled differently from the actual file and how the actual file appears when reopened—screenshot A2 and A3. I do not have the original file with the issue to attach.

   B) In the Super Collagen file, the file was saved exactly as shown in screenshot B1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with multiple elements missing and without the background elements—screenshot B2.

   C) In the Smooth Current Serum file, the file was saved exactly as shown in screenshot C1. The thumbnail and preview of the file were saved with a previous version of the "SMOOTH" text overlapping the actual text in the artwork. This old version had 3 "O's" in the text, but was DELETED/removed from the file. Yet it saved over top of the corrected version in the thumbnail and preview, even though this "SMOOOTH" text had been deleted PRIOR to saving the file.

   These issues cause huge problems in a production environment when the thumbnails are used for proofing and the software saving out the thumbnails cannot be trusted to accurately represent the artwork. I have screenshots and files for about 15 additional documented instances of this thumbnail/preview glitch occurring.

   The same issue appears to have been reported to the r/AdobeIllustrator thread on reddit a month ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1okei68/anyone_else_getting_glitched_previews_for_ai/

4. 「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない／Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.

   Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。

   ・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
   ・Beta版と製品版（2025、2024）で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ

   回避策として

   ・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
   ・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートする

   などの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
   ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。

   UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか？と疑っています。
   バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。

   ---

   When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.

   • This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
     
   • Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.
     

   Workarounds:
   
   - Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.
   
   - Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.

   However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other fonts.

   I suspect this might be a bug specific to the Japanese version, but if you experience the same issue in non-Japanese versions of Illustrator, please vote and leave a comment.

5. The small Generative AI marketing window won't close.

   When starting work this morning, a small marketing window popped up inviting me to try Generative AI. I click on the little X in the upper corner but it wouldn't close without restarting Illustrator. These marketing windows are interfering with production and are useless, please stop using them.

6. 警告無しに文字詰めが変化する

   ver.27において、マイナーバージョンリリース又はマイクロバージョンリリースにおいてオプティカルカーニングの仕様が度々変更されています。これ自体は改善の意味合いの強い対応で仕様変更と考えます。
   しかし、仕様変更以前のバージョンの文字組み仕様が異なるにもかかわらず、なんの警告も無しに文字組みが変化します。こういったケースではユーザーに注意を促す警告を表示するべきでしょう。

   再現手順
   1. Illustrator ver.26.5にてエリア内文字を作成し文字間のカーニングを「オプティカル」に設定し、均等配置を指定する。
   2.Illustrator2020形式で保存する。
   3.Illustrator ver.27.9で開いてTツールを用いてエリア内文字にカーソルを入れるか、テキスト自体を移動する。
   4.カーニングの状態が変化する。

   期待する結果
   カーニングが変化する際は警告を表示する。

   実際の結果
   なんの警告もなくカーニングが変化する。

   理想を言えば、既存のファイルに対して新しいカーニング値を自動的に適用せずに以前と全く同じ表示にするのが良いですが、仕様の変更自体は改善の意味合いが強く、仕方ない面もあるかと思います。しかし、編集しているユーザーが、この変化に気が付かない事によりデータトラブルを誘発する可能性もあります。
   これは2022の最終バージョンが書き出す2020形式のファイルでも起こる挙動です。影響を受けるファイルは相当数存在するはずですから、せめて警告が表示されるようにしていただきたいと思います。

7. Select all in an isolated group selects and allows to move locked and hidden objects

   Imagine a group. Let's isolate it and hide one object, lock another, and leave the third one as it is. Ctrl+A to select all and then move the selection. Illustrator then moves all the objects, despite it does not behave like this on canvas.

   If you check layers, you’ll see that Illustrator targets all children (double circle markers) but not a parent (the recent fix), and selects all objects including the parent (big square markers).

   If you try to move the selection, all objects get moved.

   This is not what happens if we try to select objects on canvas, locked and hidden objects are ignored. Polls about expectations with further private questionings I made tell that some users are aware of it, and they are mostly power users that discovered it long ago, but most users expect locked/hide objects to stay in place — approximately 2 to 1.

   There is another case that has a similar behaviour — artboards you can move and have objects on them moved as well, despite them being locked or hidden, and there is an option to toggle that — 'Move Locked and Hidden Artwork with Artboard' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display. We can target/select the isolated group and get a proper selection, but Ctrl+A still select everything, like the attached images shows.

   Treat groups as a box: we open it (= isolate) and want to deal with things with it. Yep, we can move the opened box, but this is not the reason we open it, right?

   I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.1.1 which is available worldwide now.

   Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.

   You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

   Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

8. Fonts don’t sync

   I just upgraded my computer to the Macbook Pro 2021 M1. I downloaded the latest versions of Adobe and noticed none of my fonts will sync. I've tried posted troubleshooting methods and none have worked (closing and restarting apps, reinstalled apps, multiple computer resets, unsyncing and resyncing manually, etc). Any time I open an Illustrator project with previously used fonts that aren't native to the app, it prompts me to sync but the load wheel just keeps spinning and will never finish.

   I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

   Please get in touch with us at any of the other support channels – https://helpx.adobe.com/support.html . Please give a reference to this post so that we can identify you.
   Since this is not a generic issue that we can reproduce at our end, we will need someone to look into your machine to figure out what is going on here.

10. Distribute spacing value field doesn't show units anymore

    The field used to show units (like '50 mm') in version 23.
    In 24 it says just '50' with no 'mm' after.
    If you type in your own unit, it won't recalculate in current units, as every other field in AI can do.

11. Saving always creates a .tmp file, can't see preview of the file and cannot import AI file to After Effects

    as title says, my Illustrator 2020 (24.0.1) always creates a .tmp file whenever i save. I cant see a preview of the file when viewed on Finder. Lastly, I can't import the files i created using AI 2020 to After Effects - it only shows a blank artboard.

    Files are saved with Create PDF compatible File ticked.

    I have also tried resetting the Adobe PDF joboption settings.

    So right now I have 2 AI's installed just so i can continue working with my files.

    How to stop .tmp$$$ when export .png File from Avast Anti-virus

    The cause of this annoying problem came from the ransomware shield function from Avast. This is an easy method to solve this problem.

    1. Go to Avast Antivirus user interface.
    2. Select the protection tab.
    3. Select ransomware shied.
    4. Protected folder by Avast Ransomware shield will appear.
    5. Click the checkbox of the protected file location that you choose to export which shown for protection.(C:\USER\...\Pictures etc.)
    6. When you select, the message of the selected folder and "Stop Protection" button will appear.
    7. Click stop protection.

    after this procedure, you can export .png file or else and preview it as you please. Please try...

12. Freeform Gradient points should also move on transforming Freeform Art

    Today I ran into a problem with Adobe Illustrator artwork featuring some freeform gradient fills. I had a to create flipped, mirrored version of it for printing purposes (graphics would be applied sub-surface to a sign face). The problem is the freeform gradient fills wouldn't flip with the rest of the artwork. I attached a visual example of it. Using the "expand appearance" command allowed for the artwork to be flipped 180° correctly. It would be nice if I could avoid that kind of a fix.

13. Slow Type Performance

    I just recently updated to 22.1 running on Windows 10. I have a list of names that was copied from two columns (first name, last name) that was copied from an Excel spreadsheet. I'm trying to remove the tabs between the columns and replace them with spaces. Once I hit the backspace key it takes approximately 5 seconds to perform the backspace and another couple of seconds to add the space. This is a list of several hundred names so it is unmercifully crippling. Other operations outside of type are somewhat laggy but not nearly as bad. I cleared out all of my nonessential fonts already, restarted my machine, and the problem still persists. I'm not seeing performance issues in any of my other programs. I tried closing all documents and pasting the text onto a new doc all by itself and still get the same thing. This is seriously leaving me hamstrung on a time sensitive project.

15. Saving a PDF compatible causes slow saving

    I have a top end workstation so the spec isn't an issue. When saving an AI file, checking PDF compatible slows the save and subsequent saves significantly. Un-checking it results in normal performance. This was not an issue prior to the latest release.

    Hi All,

    Thanks & Regards,
    Illustrator Team

16. Illustrator makes mouse curser go slow (not a lagging issue)

    Lets start by saying that Illustrator isn't lagging, It's just the mouse curser that goes slow when on the canvas.

    I use an extra monitor connected to my Macbook macOS Sierra pro 10.12.4 (16E195)

    I have noticed this a few times when using illustrator. It does not happen to any other program, Photoshop, sketch, Chrome etc.

    This might be worth investigating as it is slightly irritating

    Illustrator version 22.0.0

    Cheers

    Thank you for your feedback.

17. Can't move paragraph indent markers back to 0 in tab panel

    Illustrator CC 2018
    Windows 10

    When I try to move the top or bottom indent markers back to zero, it snaps back to its original place.
    If I type 0 in the X: box, it doesn't work.
    If I set it to 1, cliclk in the X: box and press the down arrow on my keyboard, it doens't work.

    The only way to set it back is via the Paragraph panel.

    The issue seems to be fixed in the latest version of Illustrator.

    Please try to test it and reply back if it works as expected for you.

18. Move dialogue is broken when Y-axis is flipped

    Problem Description:
    Since AI team had Y-axis flipped, users who want to keep it the old way have to manually set flags in prefs file to undo these changes:
    /isRulerIn4thQuad 0
    /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0

    It works fine except it breaks setting negative distance in Move dialogue.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Change said flags to 1
    2. Relaunch AI
    3. Create and select an object
    4. Press Enter to invoke Move dialogue
    5. Set vertical position to any positive number and apply
    6. Invoke dialogue again
    7. Set same vertical value, but negative (you can also select any other object before that) and apply

    Actual Result:
    Object will move up

    Expected Result:
    Object should move down

    It doesn't matter where you first move object, it matters only that value is the same but has different sign.
    It is very annoying bug, because it happens always but in certain cases. Lots of swears and undos.
    The way coordinates is swapped via prefs is fine, as long as it just works, although some other vector programs allow to change it via UI.

    Any Workarounds:
    Set angle manually in dialogue window to desired.
    Set bigger position then you need and then move it again to get where you want it.

    Attached gif shows almost same situation, but with twist:
    I move one object down (with negative distance) and then I want to move second object down and sideways. And when I set horizontal value, AI flips the vertical axis inside dialogue and it force me to dance with workarounds described above.

    Adobe denied to admit is as a bug.
    Please, help me to prove my point.

    I don't ask you to change default ruler origin to bottom left, Adobe already had given us an opportunity to change this by editing flags! I ask for fixing a bug for Move dialogue that is set upon existing and approved behaviour.

    I know quite a lot of highly valuable people from Adobe forums who still votes for y-axis go up:
    CarlosCanto (he even wrote a script to undo your unexpected making, https://forums.adobe.com/message/3859338)
    JETalmage (you should have seen this post back in 2009! https://forums.adobe.com/thread/497089)
    Jacob Bugge and all other people who agree with them in comments.

    Nobody among my colleagues I know personally likes this. And only two of them having spoken about it at forums. Imagine how many just cry silently.

    InDesign is a publishing software, it works with a flow. I don't know anybody who reads from bottom to up (RTL — yes). When you move an object there, you don't move it up, you move it backwards

    Photoshop is raster graphics editor, it works with a readable grid of pixels, which are written from top left (we see it every time when images load slow in browsers). Using Photoshop since version 5 I never experienced any trouble with axis going down, because it just never mattered! I retouch photos mostly. People, who uses it for drawing web-design (!) are still OK, because web pages go down. Anyway, PS even hasn't precise move dialogue controls.
    And of course, the fact y-axises go one direction, is just a coincidence (when there is only two variants for y-axis to go — it's highly occasional) — because these two programs care for different fields.

    But Illustrator is about vectors.
    Y-axis goes up in Cartesian coordinate system.
    We move objects up meaning up here.
    It was a consistency for the sake of consistency.
    It was convenient for devs and not end users.
    It was a mistake to do.
    Adobe should have asked users to vote about denying common sense.
    And Adobe should never ever ever had not given users ability to flip it.
    And since there is such an ability and I can flip it in Prefs file — I will fight for an ability to work fully.
    The worse thing you can do now — is to kill this opportunity.

    Problem Description:
    Since AI team had Y-axis flipped, users who want to keep it the old way have to manually set flags in prefs file to undo these changes:
    /isRulerIn4thQuad 0
    /isRulerOriginTopLeft 0

    It works fine except it breaks setting negative distance in Move dialogue.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Change said flags to 1
    2. Relaunch AI
    3. Create and select an object
    4. Press Enter to invoke Move dialogue
    5. Set vertical position to any positive number and apply
    6. Invoke dialogue again
    7. Set same vertical value, but negative (you can also select any other object before that)… more

19. eyedropper tool

    I have never had to ungroup objects to get the eye dropper tool to apply selected attributes to an object. This no longer works without ungrouping objects.

    I have never had to ungroup objects to change the color of an object selecting a color from swatches. This no longer works without ungrouping objects.

    I have posted a thread with all the screenshots you could ever need and the this appears to be a glitch that needs fixing...really, really bad. The solution to the issue from my thread was to post the problem here.

20. Transparency lost in Image Trace

    Transparency of .png images is lost if using the image trace option. So my already transparent picture now has a white background if I use image trace, unless I use sketched art which does not provide the look I want. All the options should be transparent, especially if the original file is already.

    Illustrator today offers transparency support.

    Transparent background is no longer traced as white in color presets '3 Colors', '6 Colors', '16 Colors', 'Low Fidelity Photo' and 'High Fidelity Photo'.

    Not (yet hopefully) supported for Black & White based presets.

    Partial transparency is not supported and will lead to incorrect colors for these regions. Overlapping path method will also result in incorrect object appearance.

    Note also this build introduced Logical Grouping of paths in output when expanded — to hopefully allow easier editing,

    Please try the build and provide feedback.
