White looks gray in Overprint Preview
The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.
Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

Direct Selection tool selects anchors below objects
Direct Selection tool wrongly selects points hidden underneath filled objects in front of them, when the cursor clicks into a highlighted point.
It seems that only Windows it behaves as expected when 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display is enabled. Macs still select stuff underneath.
Originally discussed here at forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/i-m-having-this-issue-with-every-file-now-in-illustrator-object-selecting/m-p/15254043
Take a look at the GIF attached for a quick demonstration.
Bundled together with this report, it renders selection in Ai pretty broken :(

Color fill turning grey when selecting outside of Gamut area
I am selecting colors for CMYK that are not out of Gamut, and it is still turning grey. Very annoying. I've been having so many issues with Illustrator not performing as expected.

Picking Eyedropper temporarily disables Smart Guides
As reported here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdobeIllustrator/comments/1p6ecuj/behavior_of_eyedropper_tool_changed_recently/
In previous versions (can’t say for sure now when it stopped) we were able to aim with the Eyedropper better, when Smart Guides were enabled. In CC 2017 it works. Was quite helpful to pick color from a stroke, highlighting the object that is going to be sampled. Cool, right?
But now, I suppose with the Photoshop-style sampling rings glued on, Illustrator forgot it’s a vector program. The sampling ring should not disable Smart guides!
I somewhat get why pressing Shift might disable it, because Shift enables the 'sample by pixel' mode, and picking a color…

Cannot move images in my design.
I'm not able to move images in my design. If I click image trace and make the image into a vector then I can move it, but as soon as I rasterize it back into an image then I can no longer move it. I also am not able to click to select the image, I have to drag a box around it to select the image.
Things I've tried:
- Checked for update
- Restarted my computer
- Restarted Illy
- Restarted Illy while pressing shift-options-command
- moved the file to my desktop (off of external drive)
- cleared…3 votesWe’ve released version 29.8.1 that resolves the underlying issue with object and artboard scaling. We recommend updating to this version to prevent similar issues in the future.

Export for Screens scale dropdown doesn't work
In the Export for Screens dialogue, the dropdown does not change the scale entered in the box. For example: box says 0.25x. I choose 1x in the dropdown, 1x is checked in the dropdown, but the box still says 0.25x and the export will be 0.25x.
Typing the scale in the box works.

Linked images (with embedded profiles) shift color when embedded
Embedding an Adobe RGB (or any profile that is different than the current document profile) image (jpeg, png, tiff) in an sRGB Illustrator 2025 document gives a different result than with an Illustrator 2024 document.
When Profile warnings are checked in the Color Settings, the warning dialogs are different between 2024 and 2025
2024 warns for a Paste Profile Mismatch and allows to “Convert.(preserve color appearance)”
2025 warns for an Embedded Profile Mismatch and wants to “Use the embedded profile (instead of the working space)”.
When embedding in 2024 the default is “Convert” (which tries to keep the color appearance…2 votes -
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.

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.

Type appears bolder after converting to outlines
When converting live type to outlines, the outlined text appears noticeably bolder. If you zoom in closely, the weight looks correct again.
This becomes a real problem when testing precise font weights for logos or identity work. Once type is outlined for customization, the apparent weight changes is making it difficult to accurately judge the final result. I often zoom out to evaluate designs at small sizes, but with outlined type, the visual weight no longer reflects how it should actually appear.
This behavior also shows up in exports:
If the outlined type is exported at small dimensions, the text…2 votes -
Exporting layers to After Effects // Exportacion por capas a After Effects
