Font changes from the current one to the previously used while typing
I'm working on a document in which I used Avenir font, but for the most I use Myriad Pro. When I click with the Type tool I see in the character box I'm with the default font (Myriad Pro) and start typing. Then noticed I'm now in Avenir font!
This bug is brand new with the latest update (29.1), I didn't add any issue of that type before.
I'm on Windows 11 PC Core i7-13700 32 Go of RAM-

Line Extension Smart Guide not working
I recently updated my Illustrator to 2025 and my smart guides are on but when I extend a line now it is no longer snapping to "Line Extension". I have verified that in my preferences under Smart Guides, "Anchor/ Path Labels" is turned on. Not sure if this is a bug with the new update or what is going on.

"Apply to All" checkbox or "Replace All" button are missing AGAIN
Apply to All option for missing/replacing links is missing again in version 28.5. Now instead of being able to click that and replace all links I know have to do the relink step up to 30 times every print file.
72 votesHello all,
The 'Apply to all' checkbox has been brought back in the Replace missing link dialogue.
'Apply to all' checkbox was removed when we introduced the 'Auto-relink' (search for missing links in this folder) functionality, as we though 'auto-relink' is going to take care of the 'replace all' workflow as well. But it didn't work as expected in few cases as pointed out by some of you.
Hence, with the latest release V29.2 (full roll out happens on Jan 9), we have decided to revert to the earlier experience whereby we are bringing back 'apply to all' checkbox and rolling back the 'auto-relink functionality.
Because of conflicts, both of these functionality cannot co-exist unless we make some significant changes to the relinking experience.
As we understand, 'replace all' was a important workflow for most of you, so we decided to quickly bring it back while working on the overall…

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…

縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない
macOS 14.7.2
Illustrator ver.29.1Step to reproduce
1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。期待する動作
矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。実際の結果
スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。回避策
Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。

Exclusive to Mac Version: Lines Appear in PDF/x-4 Files, Not Present in Windows Version
When placing a compatible PSD file (*1) into an AI document and exporting it as PDF/x-4, there has long been a bug where black lines appear on the edges of transparent areas. This issue has been fixed in the Windows version, but it remains unresolved in the Mac version, even in version 2024.
The issue does not occur in the Windows version, even with the same version of Illustrator. It only happens on the Mac version.
It occurs whether the PSD is linked or embedded.
Even if an AI file is created on Windows and has no problems in the…118 votes -
Using Color Mixer in Control panel for stroke changes the color of the fill instead
I encountered this problem as seen in the GIF.
Selecting a stroke or fill from the control bar menu changes the active appearance. When using sliders, it doesn't. i have tested on different Windows 11 machines and different documents. Replicated the issue every time.

Ai2025 - The Pencil tool has become unusable again! There's no accuracy—it’s too smooth!!!
I’m here to post about the same issue I did in 2014.
The Pencil tool has become unusable once again! It’s smoothing too much, even on the maximum accuracy setting (left first slider tick).Back in 2014, when Adobe rewrote the Pencil tool, you removed the previous numeric settings and replaced them with four ticks. All of them were too smooth and took too much control over the path, leading to imprecise bubbly and smooth drawings.
I made a post about this back then, and Adobe was super nice to respond by adding a fifth lowest left tick with the…

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。

画像トレースのパスが粗すぎる
手書きの線画を画像トレースで取り込む時、パスが粗すぎて手書きのニュアンスが消えてしまいます。
以前のバージョンまでは、細かくトレースされていました。
イラスト制作が主な仕事なのですが、仕事に使用する上で致命的な欠点です。
仕方がないので、まだ以前のバージョンを使用しています。
早急に改善をお願いいたします。3 votes -
Smooth Tool oversmooths
Manual use of the Smooth Tool over smooths no matter what I set the fidelity to.
This tool used to be so helpful in smoothing out rough areas or sharp corners but the new Illustrator 2025 (Desktop) PC version way over smooths.
This makes everything a blob instead of providing the polished finishing touch it used to give.
Now I have to manually remove unwanted points to achieve and retain desired shapes.19 votesCompleted (Comments Open) ·AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

Illustrator Images Move when opening file
It's the third time Illustrator has done this. I was busy with a file that has text and images for a banner design. I saved the file, and when I reopened it, all the images had moved up. I thought it would be a one-time thing, but opening a file and having to move images back to where they were on big files is really time-consuming. I have no idea why it does this.

Undo Release Clipping Mask Does Nothing
I recently noticed that if I unclip an object, by accident or necessity, that I cannot undo the step either through the menu Undo or Command key Undo.
I can clip and Command-Z to unclip.
I can manually unclip and Command-Z to reclip.
If I clip, I Command-z to unclip and then Command + Option + Z to redo my last action and it will properly clip.But if I just manually unclip, and then use the Undo command to reclip it like it was? It doesn't work. Nothing happens and it moves on in the history.

Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info don’t get played in actions
Swatches panel’s flyout menu now has two new commands, Create Gradient and Create Swatch Info.
When we try to record these into actions, they get added fine — but once played, nothing happens at all: no gradient gets built, no color legend appears on canvas.
As always, these new additions don’t get integrated into the application enough... Please don’t abandon them!9 votes -
Artboard Borders / Guides / Grid Disappear when Scrolling/Panning
When I scroll or pan with the scrollbars or the hand tool the black border of the artboards disappear. This is super annoying as I keep my canvas white, so when I'm moving around the canvas, I can't see where the artboards are until I release the hand tool.
