  1. Threaded Type not scaling correctly

    Mac Pro (2019, Intel), MacOS 15.6.1, Illustrator 29.7.1

    After the update to version 29.7.1, the text in linked type objects does not scale (using the Scale tool) or scales disproportionately (using the Selection tool).

    The Free Transform Tool currently appears to be the only way to scale these objects together while keeping the type size proportional to the objects being scaled.

    The issue occurs in new and existing documents.

    See thread here for more details: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/type-not-scaling-correctly-in-linked-type-objects/m-p/15492486

  3. Editable Type isn't scaling correctly, even at 10% scale

    I am creating a sign in 1-1 scale. When scaling down to fit on a proof page. the Type isn't scaling down correctly.
    The image shows an outline text overlayed on top of the editable text, then selecting all and scaling down to 10%.
    You can see how the live text is not the same as the outline text.
    Never had this issue until the recent update (30.6)

  4. Radial gradient Annotator's centre point not aligned to object centres

    Windows 10, all updated.
    Illustrator 30.3 64-bit


    The end point of the 'Gradient Annotator' marking the centre of a radial gradient should, I think, be placed on the centre of an object. But there is a rather big offset (image 'gradient-align.png'), which makes it tricky to position the gradient to, for instance, the bottom of an object.
    The centre is not really the centre but is rather to the right of the centre point. It is weird.

    Ideally, it would be at the centre so the 'Gradient Annotator' could be perfectly placed at the centre if the bar was moved…

  5. Illustrator not letting me save my files or very slow

    Illustrator keeps lagging on saving sometimes not responsive and not letting me quit illustrator.
    Did not use to happen about a month ago.

    Illustrator 30.3
    Macbook Pro M1 Max
    Sonoma 14.8.5 (23J423)

    Admittedly we run our server on Dropbox, but even still it was not a problem about 1 month ago.

    Please don’t ask me to to save files locally as that is not a viable solution.

    Saving on dropbox was working fine without issue a few months ago, now all of sudden it is lagging for 10 mins a file that used to take 1min to save sometimes not…

  6. Illustrator insanely not optimized

    It's unbelievable that I have a 2025 recent PC, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, 64Gb RAM DDR5 6200MHz, RTX 5070 Ti, M2 gen5 11500m/s and Illustrator 2026 is super slow, with a lot of lag when zooming in and out, the tools behavior also super slow. Honestly, the worst version so far.

  7. Blend easing not working properly on overlapping shapes

    Whenever I create a blend with overlapping shapes, the easing does not work. The slider is active, but moving it does nothing. Easing does work when I create a blend without overlapping. And while I can start the blend without overlap and then move the smaller shape over the larger shape, the easing warps the lines instead of adjusting spacing.

  9. Font drop down list won't allow font selection.

    Mac Studio
    Sequoia 15.6.1
    Adobe Illustrator 2026 version 30

    My font drop-down list allows me to preview fonts, but not select them. If I preview and click a new font to select it, the type window closes and my select text reverts to the original font. I've tried using the text tool and the selection tool - same problem. To change a font, I must type the ENTIRE NAME in the font window and hit return. Very time consuming. :(

  11. Arrow keys, Home & End keys don’t work when renaming Artboard names on canvas

    We now can rename artboards directly on canvas, by double-clicking a name, if 'Artboard names on canvas' is enabled in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display.
    However, navigating this input with arrows, Home, End, etc., is not possible. Please make it work.

  12. Live Paint + Eyedropper recolors entire Live Paint group (macOS)

    Product/Version: Adobe Illustrator 2026 — v30.1
    OS: macOS 26.2 (Build 25C56)

    Issue:
    When a Live Paint group is selected, using Live Paint Bucket (K) and Option/-click to temporarily switch to the Eyedropper samples a color but also recolors all faces inside the Live Paint group to that sampled color. This prevents using the Eyedropper to “pick a color to paint with” without changing existing fills.

    Expected result as in previous versions: Option-click while using Live Paint should only sample/set the active paint color, without changing existing faces in the Live Paint group.

    Actual result: All faces in the selected Live…

  13. Hitting Down with an artboard selected in Artboards panel now moves it on canvas instead of in the list

    In the newest update, if I have an artboard highlighted in the panel and I hit the down arrow, it used to go down the artboard list. But now it nudges the actual artboard.
    I acknowledge that nudging artboards could maybe be useful for something (though I can't think of what) but being able to navigate the list with arrows is much more valuable in my opinion.

  14. 複合パス化するとグラデーションストップが大きく移動する

    Environment
    Illustrator ver.27 or later
    macOS 14.7.2/iMac(Intel i5/32GB mem/1TB SSD)

    グラデーションを適用した複数のオブジェクトに一度にグラデーションツールでグラデーションを定義したものを複合パス化するとグラデーションストップが大きく変化する。

    再現手順
    1. 矩形を3点、横に並べて塗りに対してグラデーションを適用する。
    2. グラデーションツールで3点の矩形に対して左右のエッジに始まりと終わりのグラデーションストップが来るように調整する。
    3. 3点の矩形を複合パス化する。
    4. グラデーションストップの終端側が大きく移動する。

    期待する結果
    複合パス化してもグラデーションの状態は変化しない。

    実際の結果
    複合パス化するとグラデーションストップの位置が大きく変化する。

    代替処理
    複合パス化したあと、再度グラデーションツールで調整を行う。

    グラデーションの向きが水平・垂直の場合、終端側が大きく位置が変化します。それ以外の角度の場合、両端のグラデーションストップが移動します。

    Applying a gradient to multiple objects simultaneously using the Gradient Tool and then converting them into a compound path causes significant changes to the gradient stops.

    Steps to reproduce
    1. Arrange three rectangles horizontally and apply a gradient to their fills.
    2. Use the Gradient Tool to adjust the three rectangles so the start and end gradient stops align with their left and right edges.
    3. Convert the three rectangles into a…

  15. Changing the Japanese font in the Type tool does not update it.

    macOS Tahoe 26.2
    Adobe Illustrator (Desktop version) 30.2.1

    Changing the Japanese font in the Type tool does not update it.
    This occurs even when "Enable missing glyph protection" is initially set to OFF and no other settings are changed.

    This does not occur in macOS Vetura13.7.8

  16. 2026 completely misrenders Inner Glow applied to an individual fill

    If I apply an Inner Glow to an individual fill, I just get a flat fill in the glow color at the desired transparency, with no glow effect going on.

    This is new to 2026, it worked fine in 2025.

    Repro file is attached.

  17. Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool

    Illustrator changes text after modifying a text box with White Arrow tool. Its been happening for a few weeks. I work in a professional big corporate company and its changing my layouts after I am doing changes and it is really problematic.

    This needs fixing right away. In packaging if some text is changed after I make layout changes it can have serious legal ramifications.

    An employee directed me to this forum to explain my problem (I explained everything here: https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/inconsistent-strokes-when-using-pressure-sensitive-brushes-with-xp-pen-tablet-illustrator-30-2-1-windows-11-1553544)

    Old tablet: Artist 12 Pro (XP-Pen)
    New tablet: XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
    I tried all available Illustrator versions (I will explain later).

    I am getting very weird and inconsistent strokes when drawing with a tablet and the Blob Brush Tool (please see screenshot and video attached EDIT: video too big pls see the article from the other forum, the video is posted there).

    I did a ton of troubleshooting…

    Hi,


    We weren't able to reproduce this issue on our end, so we'd like to gather a few more details to help us investigate further:


    1. Wacom/tablet driver version- Could you share the exact driver version you're currently using?

    2. Did this issue appear immediately after upgrading to a specific Illustrator version?

    3. Illustrator version currently installed?


    Regards,

    Aishwarya

  20. Font styles applied to portions of text 'slide' / shift positions when area type overflows

    Illustrator 29.7.1 on Mac Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)

    I dont' know whether it's related to this current issue, but now I have parts of my text that change appearance when I'm trying to change the Font weight of another part, or when I try to type more text.

    The workaround I have found it copy-pasting the text into a new Textbox. But still, this needs to be fixed.
