  1. MAJOR ISSUE: The new update does not let you decouple horizontal and vertical sizes!!

    The new update does not let you decouple horizontal and vertical sizes. I've unlocked them and toggled every possible option. Ex: I have a 3x5 shape, and want to make it 4x5. It will ONLY make it 4x6.7516 in. HUGE ISSUE.

  2. Image Tracing accuracy decreased in version 2025

    The accuracy of image tracing has decreased in version 2025. Even if I change the settings to fine, it is converted to a coarse path, and I cannot express the details like in previous versions. Please improve it as soon as possible.

  3. Turntable tooltips don’t allow to use Transform panel

    I understand Ai want to advertise generative features more.
    But putting the Turntable button (a 'speculative gambling machine') into the Transform panel (a dedicated panel about coordinates, sizes, 'parametric parameters' (sorry for the pun)) — is not OK.
    The tooltip bubbles up occasionally and covers the panel. It won’t get hidden with 'Disable Rich Tooltips' option being disabled, while BEING one.

    There are plenty of other places.
    A generative menu, Control (where we can disable in with customizing a panel), in Properties’ Quick Actions (that we can keep below the line... why not customize? — http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31999108), or CTB (why…

  4. Illustrator 30.7 Bug – First Color in Recolor Artwork “Current Colors” Incorrectly Appears Gray

    After updating Adobe Illustrator to version 30.7, I am experiencing an issue with the Recolor Artwork feature. The first/original color in the Recolor Artwork panel is being displayed as gray, even though the actual artwork color is green.

    Before the update, the color was correctly recognized and displayed as green. This issue appears to have started after installing the latest Illustrator update.

    Expected behavior: The original color should be correctly recognized and displayed as green in the Recolor Artwork panel.

    Actual behavior: The first/current color is incorrectly displayed as gray, which affects the recoloring process and makes it difficult to…

  5. Transform tools (Scale, Envelope Distort) apply & perform the last transform when using dialog with no option to undo

    Having a persistent problem, only solved by restarting Illustrator once it happens. No ideas on what triggers the problem.

    When I open the Scale tool dialog on a selected object, the previous scale values are immediately applied and executed. Canceling the dialog does not undo the transform.

    Changing the scale values in the dialog operates on the object, but at the new size.

    In other words, opening the Scale dialog immediately scales the object with the last used setting, and then applies the new scale values to the already transformed object.

    This has also happened with the Envelope Distort tool.

  6. Recolor not working with Color Books

    1. Windows 11 Pro 25H2
    2. Adobe Illustrator Desktop v30.7
    3. Steps: Select artwork to be recolored>in the recolor advanced options diaglogue panel select the color book (doesn't appear to matter which one)>results are that some or all of the "new" colors are 50%black.
    4. Until yesterday when I updated Illustrator to the most recent version, recoloring cmyk or rgb colors to a specific color book, specifically my old pantone+ solid coated color book as that's what I use for work, returned the expected pantone+ solid coated equivelant colors consistently. Help please!

  7. Color settings become unsynchronized when any image gets placed in document

    After the 30.2.1 update, (mac os 26.3.1, Win 11) I noticed a very strange and annoying behavior in Illustrator. It's about Color Settings. I use "Europe General Purpose 3" and I apply it via Bridge to all apps, i.e. Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. Everything works and when I look in those apps color settings — I see "synchronized" everywhere. However, if I place any image in Illustrator — "synchronized" immediately changes to "unsynchronised". Even if I change to "Europe General Purpose 3" in the settings dropdown (in Illustrator) again and save the Ai document - when it opens, I see…

  9. アートボードパネルで選択を外したアートボードがアクティブになる

    macOS14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.30.3

    アートボードパネルで選択状態からクリックして選択を外すとアクティブなアートボードになる。選択を外す操作の場合は該当アートボードをアクティブにするべきではない。 

    再現手順
    1.新規ドキュメントを開きアートボードを2つ追加する。この状態では3つ目のアートボードがアクティブになる。
    2.アートボードパネル上でShiftキーを押しながら2つ目、1つ目のアートボードを順番に選択する。ここまでで、アクティブなアートボードは1つ目になる。
    3.アートボードパネル上では3つのアートボードが選択された状態となっている。
    4.Commandキーを押しながら2つ目のアートボードをクリックする。アートボードパネル上では2つ目のアートボードの選択が解除されるが、クリックされた2つ目のアートボードがアクティブになる。
    アートボードパネル上では1つ目と3つ目が選択された状態であるが、2つ目のアートボードがアクティブになることで、実質的には3つのアートボードが全て選択された状態になる。
    この状態で前面へペーストを行うと全てのアートボードにペーストされる。

    期待する結果
    アートボードパネルで選択を外したアートボードをアクティブにしない。

    実際の結果
    アートボードパネルで選択を外したにも関わらず、アクティブなアートボードになることで、実質的には選択を外した状態とはならない。

    When you click a selected item in the Artboards panel to deselect it, that artboard becomes active. Deselecting an item should not make that artboard active.

    2. In the Artboards panel, hold down the Shift key and select the second and first artboards in that order. Now, the first artboard becomes active and In the Artboards panel, all three artboards are selected.

  10. Artboards & Content are displaced after saving and opening a file

    After saving & opening a file with multiple art boards, many of the artboards and/or their content is shifted around the canvas. I already tried all kinds things, even creating a new file and copying everything over. The bug happens again and again – and it's unpredictable, sometimes it's just one element, sometimes it's half of all the content.

    Working with Version 29.8.1, the file is in large format mode, Mac OS 25 (latest). Not saving on a cloud synced folder.

    When saving the same file into Adobe Cloud, the bug doesn't seem to occur... at least for the last…

  11. Can’t change a gradient stop from swatches

    There is a bug that stops you from changing the colour in a gradient stop from your swatches. The only way to get around it is to use the eye dropper tool. This is a must fix and has been missed on multiple updates recently!

  14. Color panel does not cycle Tab focus, causing all panels to be hidden. on MacOs

    Illustrator version: 2026 (30.2.1/30.3)

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a new document.
    2. Open the Color panel (Window > Color).
    3. Click on the first numeric input field (e.g., C value in CMYK mode).
    4. Press Tab repeatedly to move focus through the fields.

    Expected result:

    Focus cycles through all input fields within the Color panel — after reaching the last field, Tab returns focus to the first field, keeping focus inside the panel. This is how other panels (e.g., Character, Transform) behave.

    Actual result:

    When Tab is pressed from the last input field, focus escapes the Color panel entirely. Because Tab is also…

  15. Files saved are missing images when imported into Photoshop, InDesign, other apps

    Lately I am having problems with linked files in Illustrator not showing up when I open the file in Photoshop for instance, even though everything looks fine in Illustrator in the original file. I have to go into the Links menu and relink everything one at a time and resave to make it work. I also notice that the file size is smaller when the linked files don't work.

    I tend to use linked files a lot and have for years so this isn't a case of unfamiliarity with the tool.

    Any suggestions are welcome.

    This has been fixed in the latest version - 30.3.


    This fix would not correct the existing damaged files but should not happen on new files saved from newest version. Existing files can be corrected by resaving them in latest version.

  16. 「間隔」を変更したパス上オブジェクトの拡大・縮小について/Scaling an Object on Path After Adjusting Spacing

    問題の説明:
    「間隔」を変更したパス上オブジェクトを拡大・縮小しても、「間隔」が保持されていて数値が変わらない。見た目のバランスを保ったまま変形できない。

    再現手順:
    1. 2つ以上のオブジェクトを配置したパス上オブジェクトを作成する
    2. ウィジェットをドラッグして「間隔」を狭くする
    3. 拡大または縮小する(バウンディングボックスのドラッグ、拡大・縮小ツールなど、方法は何でもよい)

    実際の結果: 「間隔」の値が拡大・縮小に連動しないため、変形前の見た目のバランスを保ったまま拡大・縮小できない

    期待された結果:
    変形前の見た目のバランスを保ったまま拡大・縮小できる

    回避方法:
    パス上オブジェクトを「拡張」する

    補足事項:
    ・30.8.1で確認
    ・「間隔」が最大値(パス上オブジェクト作成直後の値)の時はこの不具合は発生しない
    ・「線幅と効果を拡大・縮小」や「リアルタイムの描画と編集」のオン/オフは影響しない
    ・他のオブジェクトを一緒に選択して「拡大・縮小」を実行したときも結果は同様

    レイアウト全体をリサイズする際にこのような挙動が発生しても、見逃してしまう可能性があり、製品事故につながるリスクもあります。
    「間隔」を編集しても、バランスを保ったまま「拡大・縮小」できるようにするべきです。

    挙動について、文章だけではわかりにくいと思いますので動画を添付します。


    Problem Description:
    Scaling an Object on Path with reduced Spacing does not scale the Spacing value, resulting in a loss of its original visual balance.

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1. Create an Object on Path with two or more objects placed along the path.
    2. Drag the widget to reduce the Spacing.
    3. Scale the Object on Path up or down using any method, such as dragging the bounding box or using the Scale tool.

    Actual Result:
    The Spacing value does…

  17. Dragging and rearranging several objects at once in Layers is broken when a filter is applied

    As documented in other reports, this remains broken. It may work ONCE, based on no discernible pattern, but never again in dozens of tries.

  18. SVG output is wrong size

    I have to create SVG files for work, and they MUST have specific dimensions. I've been using Ai 2023 with zero problems. When I "View SVG Code" the width, height, and viewBox values are all correctly set to the size of the artboard.

    I've been avoiding upgrading for obvious reasons, but the other day I decided to try out Ai 2026. Thank GOD I installed a new instance and kept 2023! I had to generate an SVG and the size is WRONG. It appears to be using the OBJECT size, not the ARTBOARD size as it should.

    I tried changing…

  19. Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later: The bottom of PSD files appears black when placed

    In Illustrator 2026 Version 30.3 and later, when placing CMYK PSD files (containing only a background with no layers), the bottom of the image turns black and the image does not display if the file size exceeds a certain pixel threshold.
    Testing shows that data exceeding approximately 24,000 x 24,000 pixels (over 2 GB) results in the portion exceeding that size appearing black. Even when exported to PDF, the black area remains.
    Additionally, the thumbnails in the Links panel and when selected also appear black.

    Data created in previous versions that worked fine also displays a black bottom on linked…

  20. オブジェクトの移動時にShiftキーやOptionキーを押した際にオブジェクトが表示されない

    1. Mac OS 15.6.1
    2. 選択ツール(V)でオブフェクトを選択し、ドラッグで移動中、Shiftキー(またはOptionキー)を押した
    3. 今まではオブフェクトをドラッグで移動させ始めてからShiftキー(またはOptionキー)を押せば、水平垂直および45度方向にオブジェクトが移動する様子がリアルタイムで描画されており、そうした挙動を想定していた
    4. バージョン30.8にアップデートした後、上記の3.とは異なる挙動となった。具体的にはオブジェクトを選択して移動させる際、オブジェクトを選択してドラッグしている最中にShift(またはOptionキー)を押すと、オブジェクトの表示位置が元の位置に戻ったまま固定されてしまう。オブジェクトを選択し、ドラッグせずにShift(またはOptionキー)を押した後にドラッグを開始すると、従来通りオブジェクトが移動していく様子が描画される。 オブジェクトの移動は最も多く使用する作業なので、大変困っています。できるだけ速く以前と同じ動作になるよう改善を求めます。
