Artboard Range field loses focus in Save Adobe PDF dialog on macOS
I am experiencing an issue in Adobe Illustrator when trying to save a specific artboard as a PDF.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open an Illustrator document containing multiple artboards.
2. Select File > Save a Copy > Adobe PDF.
3. Enable Use Artboards and select Range.
4. Click inside the Range field and attempt to replace the existing value (e.g., 1-5) with 1.Actual result: The keyboard input is redirected to the file name field instead of the Artboard Range field.
Expected result: The Range field should accept the specified artboard number normally.

Viewport doesn’t get adjusted when I start editing text outside of it, like it used to do
Previously (like is shown in one of 2 GIFs attached, recorded in CS4), when I had my insertion point outside of the currently visible viewport, making any change into a text (or even pressing an arrow key to navigate it) would have the viewport adjusted to have the cursor in it.
Now it just won’t happen.
When we aren’t careful with noticing the current mod (text editing VS normal one) can hit hotkeys, hoping to switch the tool, and actually type some garbage (like it’s shown in the second GIF).Make it pan to the cursor, like it used to…

テキストが消えます
Illustrator2025以降のバージョンで、入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまいます。
テキストを入力→保存→ファイルを閉じる→開き直す と入力したテキストの一部が消えてしまうことがあり、入力し直しになります。
テキストをを平打ちした時とエリア内テキスト両方で同じ症状が起きています。
Illustrator2024ではそのようなことはありませんでした。2 votes -
Intertwine group + opacity mask = crash on save.
Title says it all, really.
Initially discovered on 30.1, the oldest version I tried it on was 27.8.1 which feels old enough to say this may have been there since intertwine first showed up. Still there in 30.3.
Reproduction case is attached.

Linked files are displayed broken when opened
My linked files are not working properly about 40% of the time. When I open them, they often display outdated colors, overlapping artwork, or other incorrect content. This issue has been happening consistently for almost five months, and it's becoming extremely frustrating.
Sometimes everything works perfectly, but on days like today, every single linked file is incorrect. My only workaround is to repeatedly restart Illustrator—sometimes 20 times a day—and I've also tried restarting my computer, but the problem keeps coming back.
This ongoing issue is having a significant impact on my workflow, and I would really appreciate any help identifying…

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

AI generation does not work, says 'Slow down'
For several days now, whenever I try to create an image using the AI image generator, I receive a message saying, “Slow down,” even when it's the first image I attempt to generate that day.
Sometimes, I'm able to generate one image by switching from my Ethernet connection to Wi-Fi or by connecting to my company's VPN, but this generally only works once.
This is not an issue related to my AI credits, as I still have 3,350 out of 4,000 credits remaining.
This is particularly frustrating because, due to this issue, I have been unable to use the credits…

Live text isn’t visible in linked .ai files
I link to .ai files to create client proofs. This way I can edit original full size artwork and have the letter sized presentation deck auto update once linked file is saved.
Live text does not display in linked instance of .ai files. Once text is outlined in full size file is becomes visible in linked instance.

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.

Freezing after clicking Settings...
On the MacBook, if I click Settings... (which is the normal operation for most apps) instead of just hovering over it and picking one of the sub-categories, Illustrator freezes and I have to force stop it.

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…

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

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.
5 votesThe latest Pre-release build 31.0.71 should have it fixed and the fix is intended to be pushed into the next general release.

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.

Temporary files created when working in Illustrator 2026
Anytime I open an Ai file now all these temp files appear... in all my years of Illustrator never seen this. Yes, they normally disappear, but why are they even showing? They get left over too if there’s a crash which I get, but why are they appearing where the AI file lives now? I’d assume this was happening in library in the past...

Font drop down list won't allow font selection.
Mac Studio
Sequoia 15.6.1
Adobe Illustrator 2026 version 30My 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. :(
