Stroke issues with text containers when exporting into SVG
When exporting to SVG, text frames are interpreted as separate entities and inherit stroke/fill attributes from the text or group they are in. This results in unwanted strokes around the text frame itself. With other formats there are no issues.
Attached a native-export-png and a result of a svg-export-png.

Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File
While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.
The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.
I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including…

Font Weights Change Upon Opening Files
When opening a file I previously saved, all the font weights switched around. Things that were bold were now light and light font were bold. A few fonts were switched out to different fonts altogether, even though the same font was still in the document, so it wasn't like it was unavailable.
I deleted any duplicate of the fonts and only had fonts from Adobe Fonts used in my documents, but the problem didn't go away. When opening an older version of the file that had the correct fonts weights, it would automatically change once I saved it.

Missing fonts with asterisk still appear in Illustrator font menu — even after cache cleanup
Illustrator keeps showing missing fonts with an asterisk (*) in the font menu, even when those fonts are no longer installed or active.
This happens even in new blank documents and after multiple attempts to clean caches and reset preferences.
It makes the font list cluttered and hard to navigate, especially for users who work with many typefaces.
Please consider adding an option to hide missing fonts from the font menu, or improve the way Illustrator handles font references and cache rebuilding.
This issue has been affecting productivity and font management for a long time.

Illustrator no longer keeping custom layer colors. Layer colors revert to black
In recent Illustrator builds, custom layer colors applied to layers are not being saved with the document. When reopening the file, all layers that used custom colors revert to black, regardless of the original assignments. Default layer colors still persist correctly.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a new Illustrator document.
Add multiple layers.
Assign custom RGB colors to the layers (not from the default layer color list).
Save and close the document.
Reopen the document.Expected Result:
Layers retain the custom colors assigned to them.Actual Result:
All custom-colored layers revert to black, while default colors are preserved.Impact:

Can't Save multiple artboards as a Single File PDF from Export for Screens in 29.6
Even though the single file option is checked, multiple artboards will not be saved in a single file, but as separate PDFs.
This worked in previous versions.

Hand tool is getting stuck in 29.1, massive performance issues
Since yesterday Illustrator has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.
The issue is seems to be focused around using spacebar to pan around my document. It gets stuck on the hand tool and the pan itself is laggy. When using the middle button on my mouse, the pan works perfectly though.
Left clicking on elements and manipulating them is an unsurmountable task with these issues, effectively making Illustrator unusable to me now...
I really hope someone else is also experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find…

When using multiple opacity masks in a file in an earlier version, including 29.31. Opening it in illustrator 29.4 almost all the images used for the masks are repositioned to the center of the page.

「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…

Tilde key for transforming patterns does not work as in the 2024 and earlier versions
Holding down the tilde key ~ when direct selecting a pattern filled object used to give you the option to interactively transform the pattern inside the object. It would override the transform settings for patterns and give you a live preview when transforming (move/scale/rotate) the pattern only.
This behaves different when moving the pattern in the 2025 and 2026 versions. It will move the object and the pattern and snap the object back when the mouse is released.

GPU rendering & mouse with indents (stepping) scroll wheel = blurry graphics
When scrolling with a scroll wheel that has indents, the GPU rendering causes blurry graphics at the beginning of the newly rendered pars that come into the workspace. See attachment.
It takes half a second to render that portion of the screen in normal quality on a Mac Studio Max! This machine should render fast enough to see no blurry parts. (120fps games as an example!)
I suspect Ai 29.8.2 to have a render engine problem. It’s just too slow. Other apps like Figma, Affinity Designer render the same documents 100x faster.2 votes
