Text is not working
My textboxes are empty including those that use to have text in it. I can create or select and edit them but when I type something in, nothing appears. If I try to select a text layer thats connected to a group, it randomly changes to selecting the parent/group.

Crashes immediately when adding a leader before a "tate-chu-yoko" text in vertical orientation
Guaranteed immediate crashing upon adding a leader in the Tabs panel to a tabbed gap right before a character that's set as tate-chu-yoko.
Now I have to use bad workarounds just to circumvent this...
Hope it gets fixed soon.2 votes -

New document page dimensions resetting as I'm typing them
Create a new document, type in desired page width, press tab to go down to the height field and suddenly it's reverted back to what was in those fields previously. Have to go back and re-enter the correct dimensions.
There is a 2-page discussion about it here, including someone's video capture of it on page 1:
Been having the same issue here for a little while. Just been dealing with it, but it's rather frustrating.
I'm on Windows 10, 22H2, Illustrator 29.2.1 (64-bit).

Selected an object in a bottom layer makes it render on top when exporting to TIFF
When exporting to TIFF(doesn't happen when exporting to PNG), if I have text selected at the time, it appears at the front, when there should be layers above. I have attached a sample Illustrator file and resultant TIFF.

Scale percentages are not consistent for images.
When placing a file without changing the scale, the links panel should display 100%.
It does that for Linked Tiff (and PSD) files, but displays a scale percentage (that depends on the resolution) for JPEG and PNG files.
When images are Embedded, a scale percentage is shown, where a resolution of 72 ppi is shown as 100% and smaller percentages for higher resolutions.
When images are just placed 100% should be shown, they are not scaled and their size reflects their resolution.
Currently (Illustrator 28.7.1) it will show 100% for a Linked Tiff file with a resolution of 144 ppi,…26 votes -

Glyph substitution not working in v28.7.1
In v28.7.1, if the formatting of the character immediately before a glyph substitution is different, the glyph substitution does not work, and the default glyph is displayed instead. This bug occurs just by opening an ai file from a previous version. It's an extremely serious bug.
v28.7.1でグリフ置換が機能しない
v28.7.1では、グリフ置換の直前の文字の書式が異なると、グリフ置換が機能せず、デフォルトのグリフが表示されてしまいます。このバグは、以前のバージョンのaiファイルを開いただけで発生します。非常に深刻なバグです。

PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025
ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
Hello everyone,
I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
System: macOS 15.6.1
Apple M1 Max
64 GB
The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM,…2 votes -

The Default File Location option in missing in Preferences > File Handling
Whenever we install Illustrator anew and try to save a document for the first time, we are given a choice — to save into Cloud or save locally. The default choices is Cloud and 'Don’t show again is checked) — Adobe actively wants users to use their system, I get it. However, if one makes a mistake and wants to alter this choice later — they can’t do it anymore.
At some point we had this option exposed in Preferences > File Handling, but later it started to randomly disappear for users, with the same build used. The support can…

Color dropdown gets drawn in the top left corner of the screen when first called
When first called, the color dropdown appears in the top left corner of the display. The second call renders it where it should be. Also (not noticeable in the video, since Sharex doesn’t record clicks) — I had to click the chip twice to make it appear.

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

Rotating an object with 3D Extrude & Bevel causes pixelation in v29.8.2
I don't know if any user has raised this before, but the 3D Extrude and Bevel in Illustrator (29.8.2) has an issue. When trying to manipulate an object by rotating it, the object completely pixelates as it is adjusted. It's impossible to ascertain the positioning as it just becomes a massed blob of pixels whilst I am trying to position it. Whether positioning it manually, or by using the X,Y, Z sliders, the problem still persists. Zooming in doesn't work either (the pixellation just increases in size). See screen grab- as you can see, the item I am trying to…

Installed Fonts not showing
Previously installed fonts not showing anymore. Says the fonts are missing but it worked previously and maybe 1 in 10 times it will have no error and the fonts will show. These fonts exist on my PC so it's not a cloud issue as far as i can see.
