Disappearing settings/options
Single options disappear and I can’t change view or workspace back, it won't be fixed by restarting Illustrator.

Blend with a straight spine doesn’t look the same as a blend without it
Here I’m checking a simple blend. One copy has a spine (a straight line with no handles), the other has it removed. They should be identical, but they aren't — the one with a spine is not uniform. I test this with the new Blend panel in Beta 30.6.0.27 (with the acceleration set to 0), and it works the same way as in the GA 30.4 release.

When artboard is extended layers aren't able to be shown in newly created artboard space
See video for explanation. Just kidding I'm unable to post a video or Adobe doesn't want me showing their utter incompetence. AI is definetly turning this company into a penny stock before too long.

Illustrator and scripting inconsistent words[] when tabs used
Can someone explain the results when the following is run on an Illustrator document with one text frame?
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames[0]
myTextFrame.contents = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\rLorem\tipsum\tdolor\tsit\tamet";
alert(myTextFrame.words.length);
alert(myTextFrame.lines[0].words.length);
alert(myTextFrame.lines[1].words.length);
for (l=0; l<2; l++)
{
concat = "#";
for (i=0; i<myTextFrame.lines[l].words.length; i++)
{
concat += myTextFrame.lines[l].words[i].contents;
concat += "#";
}
alert(concat);
}14

"#Lorem#ipsum#dolor#sit#amet#"
"#Lorem#Lorem#ipsum#ipsum#dolor#dolor#sit#sit#amet#"
Why does separating the words by tabs seem to duplicate all but the last word in the line?
Is this a bug, and if not, what is the logic behind it?

Importing a PDF file saved from CAD shows a fault message
When opening a flowchart in Illustrator, a PDF file saved from a CAD, I get a fault message saying 'There are fonts in the document that are not installed on the computer'.
This is a new fault that came up last week, been using PDF files for a year and it have never been a problem until now.
Is there something i can do about it?
Due to confidentiality, I unfortunately cannot upload images on my work.2 votes -

Remplacement de police sans avertissement
Bonjour, aujourd'hui j'ai réouvert un fichier .ai et sans avertissement une des polices, pourtant déjà installée (et pas d'Adobe fonts) a été tout simplement remplacée par de la Myriad pro.
Sans alerte, sans notification. Le seul indice à part l'apparence visuelle absolument différente, a été que j'ai documenté en écrivant en toutes lettres le nom de la police utilisée dans ma créa.
Ca ne donne vraiment pas confiance.

Radial gradient Annotator's centre point not aligned to object centres
Windows 10, all updated.
Illustrator 30.3 64-bit
The end point of the 'Gradient Annotator' marking the centre of a radial gradient should, I think, be placed on the centre of an object. But there is a rather big offset (image 'gradient-align.png'), which makes it tricky to position the gradient to, for instance, the bottom of an object.
The centre is not really the centre but is rather to the right of the centre point. It is weird.Ideally, it would be at the centre so the 'Gradient Annotator' could be perfectly placed at the centre if the bar was moved…

Swatch Panel is not adjustable
Since the new update, the Swatch panel cannot be adjusted and so I cannot have all of my panels open at the same time now. If I expand the color panel, I have to sacrifice another panel to be shrunk. I used to be able to take away the empty space under the swatch area which gave more room for the other panels to be open.

Eyedropper - Alt Clicking Text to Text Doesn't Apply Stylings
Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.6456
Illustrator 30.4 (64-bit)When text object 1 is selected, using the Eyedropper tool and holding Alt to left click onto text object 2 (to apply the font style color paragraph style etc.), doesn't apply the stylings of text object 1 at all.
It does 1 of 2 things I found:
1) it's applying the text stylings of whatever current text settings are visible from the Character panel plus it will also apply no fill/stroke color to the text.
2) it will literally do nothing and no change happens, no matter how much you spam alt…2 votes -
DXF import size issue 2026 that works in 2024
Opening DXF in latest version 2026 at original size or 1:1 does not work, results are close but not exact. Works fine in version 2024. However, if saved as a PDF from 2024 with accurate sizes, when opened in version 2026 the size is not accurate, a few thousands off. Have many files that were created using 2024 and if I need to make adjustments for any reason opening in 2026 will result in size issues.

Rotating circle object stops visually showing at certain angles
After a certain threshold, circle shaped objects seem to not want to visually show rotation using the corner tool. This only seems to be a problem on ellipses as all other shape types seem to not have the issue.
The shapes still rotate, but they seem to not show after some random amount of rotation. Using ver 30.4. I know the screenshot sucks, but let me know if you need a video or anything else to help

Artboard Names Not Showing
A bulk of the artboards are showing the names, but several only show the number. Upon double clicking the artboard title, it appears only 1 character is visible at a time, but the artboard is indeed properly titled.

Version 30.3 Simulate Colored Paper causes white fill to render transparent and objects off the artboard dimmed
Revert to how it was before the latest update — where white filled objects appear white on screen and objects on the pasteboard look normal when using "simulate colored paper"

Palette Redéfinir les couleurs qui se ferme toute seule au moindre clic
Bonjour. J'ai ce soucis depuis un moment.
Lorsque j'ouvre la palette de modification de couleur ''Redéfinir les couleurs'' qui se trouve dans Edition/Modification des couleurs/Redéfinir les couleurs de l'illustration... dès lors que je clique sur les cercles pour les déplacer et changer la couleur, la palette disparaît. J'ai beau recommencer, dès que je touche les cercles, la palette se ferme. Impossible donc de changer les couleurs de l'illustration.
La video en pièce jointe est très explicite.Si vous avez une solution, je suis preneur.

Severe selection lag on direct click (Marquee selection works fine) - Illustrator 30.3 - macOS Tahoe (M4)
Hi everyone,
I am experiencing a critical issue that is completely breaking my workflow in Adobe Illustrator, and I suspect it might be a specific bug in the latest version or a compatibility issue with the new hardware/OS.
The Problem:
Whenever I try to select any element by clicking directly on it, the program takes a long time to react, select the object, and display the bounding box (the resizing and rotation handles). This delay makes it impossible to work efficiently or even copy/paste quickly.The strange part is that if I select the object by dragging the cursor (marquee/area…

Navigator is not navigating
Illustrator 30.2.1. Macbook
In the Navigator panel so I can see my artboard and all the items in it. But when my view is for example in the upper right corner, and I click on the lower left corner, because I want my view to pan over there, it only brings me a little bit more to the left. It seems like a big bug and the Navigator is now sort of useless. In previous Illustrator editions it was working perfectly.

Illustrator 2026 Eyedropper Leaves Previous Fill Color Hidden in Nested Objects
In Illustrator 2026, the Eyedropper tool sometimes applies the sampled appearance to the selected group/subgroup level instead of replacing the actual appearance of the underlying object.
This creates a dangerous prepress issue: the object visually appears recolored, but the previous fill color remains inside the nested object structure. The old color does not appear as a separate duplicated object when ungrouping. It only becomes visible after entering isolation mode several levels deep. If that internal element/fill is deleted, the entire object disappears, which confirms it is not a duplicate object but the original object retaining its previous appearance.
Expected behavior:…

Cutting off bottom of page when printing
Fix the problem of cutting off the bottom of the page when I print with Illustrator. I can save the document as a PDF and print it fine with preview, but Illustrator cuts off part of the bottom of the print. It has the incorrect print border. So stupid.
