2. Illustrator 2025 cannot copy and paste.

   I cannot get my illustrator to copy and paste. The newer the version, the more frequent this issue happens. Now, I couldn't even copy and paste.

   I'm not using any 3rd party clipboard management. I did not reconfigure my keyboard shortcuts. I have cleared windows clipboard, cleared preference. I tried shutting off the software and reopen. Every time is still the same.

   It's not a new issue. What baffles me is Adobe keep coming out to new features while couldn't deal with such simple function.

3. 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.

4. Cursor stays invisible after exiting Presentation mode

   How to reproduce:
   Create a multiple artboard document.
   Enter presentation mode.
   Do not move the mouse.
   Use the left and right arrow keys to view all the art boards.
   Note that windows will make the mouse cursor invisible since you are not using it.
   Press ESC to return to normal viewing/editing mode.
   Now the mouse cursor is invisible.

   Work around: If you go back to presentation mode and wiggle the mouse and press ESC while the mouse is visible then the mouse will be visible in normal screen mode.

5. 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.

6. Snap to Point doesn’t help much to snap an object’s edge to another edge, even with Smart Guides

   'Snap to point' in Illustrator is poor. You cannot currently snap objects together reliably. Results are inconsistent.
   For example:
   1) snapping a point to an edge does not work well, if at all. I have 'snap to point' on and smart guides enabled.
   2) when using constrain with the Shift key, whether they be points or edges. Even with Snap to Point turned on, or using Smart Guides. Just something simple as drag-copying another box adjacent to itself does not snap together the edges.

   In my videos, the first video applies to point 1) and the second video at 10s, you can see that when using 'constrain' there is no information about where the edges are, and snapping of the edges clearly does not work. Not even dragging a corner, which is a point, to the other objects' edge, no snapping or any edge indication.

   Adobe please do not consider this. Please just fix it and make this work, please!

8. Strokes smaller than 1 pt (or 1 mm) become zero when Stroke Weight down arrow key button is used

   If you set a stroke to 1 pt and click Stroke Weight down arrow key button, it correctly goes to the next smaller value from the dropdown — 0.75 pt.
   But if you do the same with 0.95 or anything smaller than 1 pt, clicking this button instantly makes it zero, skipping all the smaller values.

   It’s even worse if you set stroke units to be non-points — even though there are plenty of smaller values in the dropdown, and 1 mm is much larger than a point, it goes 0 too.

   While Cmd/Ctrl+arrow (not recorded) works fine with points, going 1-0.9-0.8... — for millimeters it works only down to 0.5, and then skips 0.35 and 0.25 (listed in the dropdown) and become 0 again.

   Ai hates other units...
   And we still don’t have hotkeys to jump weights (like we do for font size) — requested here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32307397

10. Bottom margins for labels are too small for Swatch Info objects in the column view (with no card backgrounds)

    If I choose to display Swatch Info card in a column, and choose to omit background cards, the result would have text lines too close to the chips below, like the attached image shows. It makes it feel like the text is not related to chips above, and forces us to use cards still to control 'space after' at least somehow, even when cards are not necessary.

    While the team hardcoded the 'space before' as a strict gap (again, hardly OK), they seem to forget to do the same for the bottom line.

    And if you pick this up, please don’t forget about this request as well:
    Allow to place cards next to color chips instead of always below for Swatch Info objects

11. Adding new anchors with Pen tool when Snap to Grid is enabled is treated wrong and inconsistently

    Illustrator allows to snap stuff to grid, but really doesn’t love doing it (here’s a request about the tolerance and how it’s to harsh in general: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49616738)

    Here in a GIF I’m creating a simple path with anchors placed on a grid. After closing the shape, I decide to add several points in-between, and have them on the grid as well... but the only anchor I can place normally is the one in the middle, that happen to be exactly (within an unknow tolerance) at the intersection of the grid lines (and the cursor gets a + to indicate adding would happen).

    But for some reason when I try to add an anchor within the magenta circle... a new path gets started.
    Well, OK, the path is too far from the grid node, I guess...
    But then I try to add a point below the one I was able to place — and it gets added! ...even though it’s not on a grid node at all, but at a grid line... OK, but this happens only if I am zoomed out enough, because if I zoom in — it won’t happen, the tolerance hit is detected in the screen space. And even if I try to add an anchor on a path at a grid line intentionally — Ai won’t let me.

    So what we have to do, is to disable Snap to Grid, place points, enable the snapping back, and move each point to snap to grid line intersection again.

    This differs from how snapping to grid happens in other editors. If I try the same in Affinity Designer (using Node tool) — it will offer me to place new anchor on intersections with grid lines, like the second GIF shows.
    I am also told Fontlab catches a mouse click to see if it hits a path first, then adds the anchor, and only then snaps it to the grid — and it makes practical sense as well.

    Perhaps start loving grids?

12. Blob Brush strokes often include garbage on turns

    What is wrong with Blob Brush. Even with simplest strokes I often get groups, and these have the main part and tiny pieces of garbage next to it in them.
    Sometimes these are thinnest slivers, sometimes knotted madness, sometimes chunks chomped off...
    If I run simple Pathfinder Add, some of this get 'healed'. Why don’t you do at least this? Why these awfully angular turns and garbled edges happen in the first place? Please study the file.

    Every time I open Adobe Illustrator, the "color spectrum" in color panel always shrinking to the minimal size. Could you please make it not change according to the size the user wants. I usually need the "color spectrum" to be full size (maximum size). That would really help us designer a lot. Thanks, Adobe team.

15. Since MacOs Sequoia upgrade, Illustrator randomly recording / monitoring screen despite disabled in Privacy settings.

    Since MacOs Sequoia upgrade, Illustrator randomly recording / monitoring screen despite disabled in Privacy settings. Sequoia bug, AI bug, or Sequoia revealing this was happening all along. Could just be the color picker, could not. Doesnt happen reliably with color picker use. Only happens in Illustrator and only since the Sequoia upgrade. Something isnt working right between the OS and app.
    If screen monitoring is turned off, Illustrator should not be able to monitor.

    Illustrator uses Apple screenshot API to pick colors outside the Illustrator window with Eyedropper tool. Apple has enhanced security in the recent OS updates to let user know which applications are recording the screen, whether you pick a color value of single pixel or recording the entire screen.

    Illustrator is not recording users's screen, it is required for Eyedropper tool to pick color from single pixel.

16. Very laggy zooming in and out using mouse scroll since versions 28.1

    I'm on Windows 11, using the newly updated AI 29.0. This has been mostly my issue since AI 28.1 onwards.

I think my system has more than the minimum requirements.

    For AI 28.1 - 29.0 - Locally saved .AI is somewhat laggy. Cloud saved .AIC has a very laggy scroll zoom.

    I have tried resetting the preference and reinstall a couple of times to no avail.

17. Smart Guide Measurement Labels give a diameter for polygon live shapes, but show a width and height

    Smart guide measurement labels display the diameter of polygon live shapes rather than their width/height, but still lists it as W/H in the label itself.

    Steps:
    1. Create a polygon with a square bounding box (like an octagon)
    2. With smart guide measurement labels on, drag to a specific size.
    3. Note discrepancy between the size listed when you release and the size in the transform panel.

    Result: Label displays a different W/H figure than the transform panel.
    Expected result: Either the measurement label explicitly informs the users that it displays diameter (i.e.: 'Dia: 100 px'), or it displays the bounding box width/height.

    I'd imagine the latter is more sensible since a diameter for polygons is listed nowhere else that I am aware.

    While Ai allows to pick a contextual alternate for Cyrillic letters for fonts that support them, it actually works only for Middle-Eastern & South-Asian composers, but is visually ignored for Adobe Single-line and Every-line composers.

    Take a look at the GIF attached.
