アートボード左上の角に丸が表示される ／ Brush tip shape appears in top-left corner of the artboard
再現手順
1. Illustratorを起動して新規ドキュメントを作成する
2. ブラシパネルでカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックする
3. アートボードの左上の角を確認すると、ブラシの先端形状の丸が表示される回避策
- ブラシツールに切り替えてからカリグラフィブラシのサムネイルをクリックすると丸は表示されない
- 丸が表示された後でも、ブラシツールに切り替えると消える一度でもブラシツールに切り替えれば、その後はIllustratorを終了するまで、新たな別のドキュメントを作成してもこの丸は出現しません。
- MacOS14（Sonoma）+Illustrator2025（29.5）で確認
- Windowsでも同様の手順で再現するそう
- これまで再現条件が分からず報告出来なかったが、2022年の時点で既に発生しており、現在まで改善されないままである
表示が煩わしいのみで特に大きな実害はありませんが、さらに古いバージョンでは発生しなかった不具合です。できるだけ早い解消が望まれます。
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new document in Illustrator.
- In the Brushes panel, click a Calligraphic Brush thumbnail.
- A round shape appears in the top-left corner of the artboard.
Workaround:
- Switching to the Brush Tool before clicking the brush prevents this.
- Switching to the Brush Tool after the shape appears will remove it.After switching to the Brush Tool once, it won’t appear again during the session.
Notes:
- Reproduced on macOS 14 (Sonoma) + Illustrator 2025 (v29.5).

Add “...” to the menu items of the modal dialog
en
In macOS apps, it is customary to append “...” to menu items that require the user to perform additional actions after selecting the menu item (e.g., modal dialogs). This is found in the Human Interface Guidelines | Apple Developer Documentation.
Illustrator 2025 (29.4) followed this rule, but Illustrator 2025 (29.5) has departed from this rule for a few items.
- File > Generate Vectors
- Object > Generate Vectors
- Object > Gen Shape Fill
The change should be allowed if it is intentional, but seeing that the other items still follow the rules, it…

[Illustrator 2025, 29.0][Win11 Pro 23H2] No Recent Local Files in the Welcome Screen
Recent local files and their previews are completely gone from the welcome screen in Illustrator 2025, 29.0.
Changing the number of visible recent files, restarting the computer, disabling/enabling GPU acceleration and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help.
9 votesAs stated in an update at forums, there is a solution.
A backend fix has been applied. Please restart Illustrator to see if the issue is resolved.
If it persists, follow these steps:
1. Close all Adobe apps, including the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Windows: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\
3. Locate the folder named CCX Welcome and rename it to CCX Welcome.old.
4. Relaunch the Creative Cloud desktop app, then reopen Illustrator.

Custom toolbars with plugin tools rearrange themselves alphabetically on launch
Windows 11, Illustrator 29.3.1
I use a custom toolbar with the tools I use most frequently (many Astute Graphics plugin tools), arranged in a specific order that I go to with muscle memory. Recently (2 updates ago?), they jumbled up – actually, they arranged themselves alphabetically descending top to bottom – but for my purposes, this is illogically jumbled, and I have to hunt for tools visually; it is very annoying and time-wasting. Then I noticed they were in my proper order again… next day, jumbled. I’ve worked out what is happening. First Illustrator launch of the day… alphabetically jumbled.…4 votes -

What’s New screen pops up every time I close all documents
Illustrator wastes my time by making it necessary to close the annoying splash screen whenever I close a document. Really annoying. Please get rid of it or make it optional.

Multiscreen display problem
On Windows 11 pro. Multiscreen HP. Launching and Activating (to use), Adobe Illustrator causes multiscreen display, to reset to Landscape and also Disrupt other windows to Minimise and Maximise and change Portrait to Landscape format, without reason.
This also occurs over one minute, which is a waste of time, when I'm regularly jumping into Adobe Illustrator.
The layout display setup should be maintained and not be disrupted repeatedly. Please stop changing Windows display format and let the OS do the job.
I can confirm this is a problem with Adobe Illustrator with a simple test. When I activate ALL other…

Advanced Options Missing in Recolor Artwork Panel with UI Scaling
Bug Description:
When the UI is scaled up , the advanced options in the "Recolor Artwork" panel become inaccessible. This happens because the panel becomes too large, causing the advanced options at the bottom to be cut off. Additionally, the absence of a scroll bar prevents users from navigating to the hidden section.Steps to Reproduce:
Open Adobe software (e.g., Illustrator).
Access the "Recolor Artwork" feature.
Use the software on a high UI scaling factor.
Notice that the advanced options at the bottom of the panel are not displayed and cannot be accessed due to the missing scroll bar.
Expected…

Recolor window appears out of frame when in isolation mode
When in isolation mode, the top of the Recolor window is out of frame, so I can't move it. Unfortunately, it pops up right over the artwork, so I can't use it.
I tried moving the panel when not in isolation mode, but it still pops up over the artwork and out of frame in isolation mode.

Layers palette filter grabs focus when pressing Ctrl-C
Pressing Ctrl-C to copy something activates the focus on the filter field in the Layers palette. Using keyboard shortcuts becomes a landmine when this happens because you can inadvertently turn off layers or, in some cases, slow Illustrator way down by pasting SVG data into the field (Ctrl-V often follows pressing Ctrl-C). When the latter happens, Illustrator tries to filter by the text in the field, and it can take quite a while sometimes to regain focus enough to clear out the field. More often than not, however, I have to force quit and restart.
A potential side effect of…

Top Bar Menu Items Stop Responding
Platform: macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 Illustrator: 28.1
While operating and working on a drawing portions of the Title Bar Menu no longer respond to clicks (File, Edit, Object, Type, Select, Effect, View Window) however the Illustrator and Help still respond.It was necessary to use keyboard shortcuts to save work and was necessary to quit and reload Illustrator and then load the file I was working on and the menu items now respond.
Has happened numerous times while working on recent drawings.
27 votesIt seems like this problem happens only for Mac Sonoma users...
Downgrading to a previous version of MacOS seems to be a viable workaround at the moment.
This is not a proposed solution though.
If this happens for you at earlier versions — please comment.

Modal panels for Free Transform tool, Dimension tool, Smooth, and Recolor pseudo-panel get hidden under other floating panels
Free Transform Tool and Dimension Tool have several modes presented in small floating modal panels and appear only when the tool is picked.
However, their z-order makes them hide under other floating panels, making it hard to find these pseudo-panels if a user choose to have real panels floating in the spot.
It’s easy to locate them by hitting Tab, since they doesn’t get hidden like actual panels and toolbars, but you have to know the trick.
I think their order should be above and not below.

ウィンドウの移動の低速化
症状は、各ウィンドウの移動が全体的にもっさりしてマウスへの追従が遅れるようになりました。
イラストレーター 2024年版をiMac 2023にて最近まで問題なく使用できていましたが、
2025にアップデートしたところ挙動に不安要素があったため、アンインストールしたのちに
2024をインストールしなおしました。その際、各種パネル（書式、属性、リンクなど）をフローティングウィンドウにて移動した際に
動作が全体的にもっさりするようになりマウスへの追従がワンテンポ遅れるように。環境設定のリセット。adobe製品の全種アンインストール。関連ファイル削除。
からの再インストール。
またOSの再インストール（macos sonoma）も行いましたが一向に改善されません。ただしパソコンをセーフモードで立ち上げ、イラストレーターを起動した際には
ウィンドウの移動がさくさくと動きます。正直セーフモードで起動した際に動くということは何かしらが悪さしているのは明白なのですが…
まったく理由がわからず…。地味にストレスです。同様の方いませんか。
