Keyboard Increment field in Preferences no longer gets focused when dialog opens, new Search field does
Unrequested extra Search function in the Preferences window in update 29.7
I (and many others) were eagerly awaiting the update because the jumping fonts were a nightmare on the production floor! But who asked for an extra search function in the preferences window? Now I have to press Tab 4 times before I can quickly adjust my Keyboard Increment. As an artworker, I use this function about 10 times a day, so that's an extra 40 times pressing Tab (approximately 800 times a month)... why, why, why?36 votesReported as fully fixed in general 29.8 build.
If it’s still broken for you — please comment.

Illustrator 29.7.1 changes units to points and resets other values after changing Keyboard Increment value when Search field has text in it
Another paradox is that version 29.7.1 of Illustrator constantly changes the units from px to points after entering an new value in keyboard increment. Does it happen to anybody else?

Persistent Toolbar Rich Tooltips
Tooltips are particularly buggy when using more than one monitor, they tend to persist and keep animating whilst users are attempting to focus on what they are doing within the interface.

アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される ／ Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard
再現手順
1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される回避策
- ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
- 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。
- MacOS14（Sonoma）+Illustrator2025（29.5）で確認
- Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
- これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである
表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document in Illustrator.
- In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
- A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.
Workaround:
- Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
- Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.
Notes:
- Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).

Disabling "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" corrupts custom workspace
When "Show The Home Screen When No Documents Are Open" in General Preferences is disabled, the next time Illustrator is run, my custom workspace is corrupted, for lack of a better word. The toolbar and all panels are missing, and the Control Panel has become floating.

Impossible to enter color values into Color panel
When I try to enter numerical values into the Color panel, I can enter the first and sometimes the second number, but when I tab over or click on the next field, all of the fields go blank and the cursor switches back to the first field.

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.

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.…

Color Mixer in Control and Properties panels gets broken after using Tab
The Color Mixer in Properties and Control works oddly. Here, I try to navigate my fields with Tab, and then drag one slider — boom, it all breaks: sliders vanish, active fields become visually inactive, closing it becomes very hard...
I feel like it started happening when the generative virus put its tendrils into Ai.

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.

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

Scroll wheel over Opacity input field only affects selected object if the input is NOT focused
- Switch to the CPU preview, or use the GPU preview and turn off 'real-time drawing & editing'.
- Make an object. Keep it selected.
- Hover your cursor over the opacity numeric input box in Transparency or Properties. Play with your scroll wheel. Watch the opacity change.
- Click in the input box. Keep the cursor over it. Play with your scroll wheel. The number changes but the object does not, until you hit return.
- Try this in Illustrator 2020. Observe that in both steps 3 and 4, the object changes opacity regardless of whether you click on the opacity input box or…

Object size (width/height) swapped in control bar.
See attached screenshot. Control bar shows the width and height of the object/rectangle incorrectly. 'Transform' box shows correct info, but control bar swaps the 2 dimensions.
2 votesShape’s width and height differ from path's width and height, as explained in comments.
To deal with the second half of the problem, vote for this request to make Offset Path to respect the original position and the direction of a path.

Mouse cursor disappears on Windows 11 Insider Preview
I opened Illustrator to work on a project and my mouse cursor disappears when I am in the workspace. I can't seem to get it back. It is just an illustrator issue since I can see my cursor fine in other programs.

The name of the missing link gets trimmed from the left side in the file name field in the dialog
But why the name of the link in File Name field in the dialog gets displayed trimmed from the left side, even though the input has PLENTY of space in my dialog window?
This behavior is not new.
I have my guesses that it’s a legacy behavior, to make sure the name is seen on a smaller screen in the smallest dialog... but Ai probably knows the size of the dialog window and can calculate if it fits?3 votes -
