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.9 votes -
Errant Connection Issues Using Concept to Vector Feature
Concept to Vector consistently fails for a particular image with an apparent connection error.
The generation process runs and appears to complete normally. However, at the end of the process, Illustrator displays:
“Cannot generate results due to connection issues. Please check your internet and try again.”
I have repeated the operation several times over the past two days with the same result. My internet connection is functioning normally. I also successfully completed a previous image using Concept to Vector, so the feature has worked correctly in the same general environment.
Because the error occurs after the generation process appears to…

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…

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.2 votesTo navigate artboards in the the panel, without zooming into them, hold Opt/Alt with arrows keys (up/down work the same way as left/right).

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。

Concept to Vector fails mid-process with non-actionable error message
When using Concept to Vector, the process consistently fails approximately halfway through execution.
Instead of explaining why the operation failed, Illustrator displays the following message:
"Please slow down and try again later."
The operation is then aborted.
The message does not provide enough information to understand the cause of the failure or how to resolve it. It is unclear whether the issue is related to service availability, account limitations, usage limits, network connectivity, the source image, or another factor.
As a result, the only available option is to repeatedly retry the operation without knowing whether the problem is temporary or…

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.

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.

Strange loops and spikes when using pressure-sensitive brushes with XP-Pen Tablet on Illustrator 29.3 and newer on Windows 11
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)
My system:
Windows 11, Version 25H2 (Windows Ink is deactivated, tried with activated too).
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…
2 votesHi,
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

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.

agregar muestras en la ventana de texto
que la ventana de texto incorpore el poder pintar una palabra seleccionada sin tener que ir al panel de muestras ya que al hacerlo se debe volver a seleccionar la palabra, asi seria mas rapido para la contrucion de logos o titulos poder desde la misma ventana de texto, pintar la palabra, cambiarle la tipografía, etc.

Blend menu options not available when blend objects are selected (MacOS)(Illustrator 30.5.1)
I've created a couple of Blend objects in Adobe Illustrator. When I attempt to expand those blends into individual vector objects via the Object/Blend menu, all the options in the menu are greyed out. Despite the blend being selected , not double-clicked into (not in isolation mode) or any other object being selected.

プレビュー用のPDFの文字が化けました
macOS Sequoia 15.6.1
Adobe Illustrator v29.7.1
他社で作成されたCentury Gothic Regular が使われているIllustratorドキュメント（作成バージョンは29.7）を開いて修正して保存した。
このデータはInDesignドキュメントにリンク配置されていた。
InDesignドキュメントの表示の、Century Gothicの数字が異なる数字になっていた。
1→3、0→2 のように。
修正した環境にはCentury Gothicがインストールされていない。Font Bookに表示されない。
が、Illustratorはフォントエラーを表示することなく、開いた。
PDFを書き出すと、正常に表示される。
プレビューのPDFのみ化けている。
その後、調べてみると、Illustrator内では「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」が使用されていることがわかった。
また、Illustrator v28.7.9ではプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
さらに、「/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Fonts/ApplicationSupport/CenturyGothic.ttc」を適当なFontsフォルダにインストールすると、Illustrator v29.7.1でもプレビューのPDFが正常に表示された。
コミュニティの記述にv29.2.1までダウンバージョンすると様々なバグが回避できるとあったので、ダウンバージョンしてみたが、やはり化ける。
v29.0までダウンバージョンしてみたが、全て化けた。
再現方法としては、
1. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダに入れる
2. Illustratorでドキュメントを新規作成
3. 数字を入力
4. 書体をCentury Gothic Regularにする
5. 保存して閉じる
6. Century Gothicをライブラリ/Fonts フォルダから外す
7. 5.のドキュメントを開く
8. 修正して保存（または別名保存）
以上を、各バージョンのIllustratorで実行。
InDesignに貼り付けるまでもなく、Finderのプレビューで確認できる。9 votes修正は最新の30.3一般リリースに反映されています。アップデート後、問題が解消されているか確認し、引き続き問題が発生する場合はご報告ください。
開発チームによると、macOS版Illustratorのフォント処理方法を変更し、一貫性を向上させ、サポートされていないシステムリソースへの依存度を低減したとのことです。その結果、Appleのガイドラインに従い、Illustrator 30.3以降ではシステムフォントが使用できなくなります。
The fix has been pushed into the latest 30.3 general release. Please update, check, and comment back if it still happens.
According to the team, they changed font handling in Illustrator on macOS for better consistency and reduced reliance on unsupported system resources. As a result, system fonts won’t be accessible in Illustrator 30.3 and later, according to the Apple’s guidelines.

Unknown Error when saving
Windows - Adobe Illustrator 2026
When saving files for a proof - Press Quality, no editing, password, low resolution printing, no changes, no enabling copying of text - this error comes up on the first attempt every time.
If I save it a second time, this error doesn't happen. I wasn't receiving this issue until I updated to 30.2.1, but it was rare. Now that I've updated to 30.3 it became every time I saved a new file for the first time. As much as I want the turntable feature, I'm going to have to use 30.1 again until the…

Object > Pattern > Make gives 'Can't define a new pattern from the current art' message
Discovered in 29.8.1, also seen in beta 30.0.21. Both on MacOS 14.7.6.
- Draw some shapes. Select them.
- Object > Pattern > Make
- "Can't define a pattern from the current art" pops up instead of pattern edit mode.
Dragging the shapes to the Swatch palette still works, luckily, so I can get on with what I want to do, but what the heck?
oookayyy, further exploration reveals that it is something about one particular global color swatch?!? see attached file.
