EXPORT AS JPEG (at least) 150 dpi's option is not working properly
PLEASE CHECK - it says 150 dpi's but the file is less. If I do the same in a previous version of illustrator, it is accepted.

Constant random crashing of application (version 29.5.1) with no obvious operation as the cause (on MacOS 15.5)
I am experiencing random crashes in any file with the latest version of Illustrator (29.5.1) on the latest version of MacOS (15.5). | have also been having similar (although not as often) crashes in InDesign (again, latest version 20.3.1). Meanwhile, I see stories that you are about to increase the subscription prices for access to generative Al tools, while the stability of your software--the basic usability is in question. Not acceptable.

App Lag when using Recolor
I am working with Adobe Illustrator 29.7.1 on Windows.
When using the Recolor dialog the app stops responding to any command or action I take outside from the artwork display.
The app also doesn't inform me if there is a crash or that the app is not responding.

Copying (Ctrl+C) a Radial repeated object with a drop shadow causes crash
Illustrator 29.61
I was able to re-create the crash with the following steps:
Create New Document.
Create 5 basic shapes, group them.
From the application menu, go to Object->Repeat->Radial and apply it to the group.
Double click on the original group to isolate it, from the appearance panel add a fx drop shadow to the grouped object.
Exit isolation.
select the repeated group and copy it
Crash.Playing around with this, the crash only occurs when you add the drop shadow after applying the radial repeat. The easy solution is to apply the drop shadow prior to applying the repeat.

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…

I can't Knockout in a clip mask
After asking my friend, I found that this problem seems to only exist on Mac systems.
[p1] Establish a clipping mask group, check Knockout;
[p2] Drawing shapes within the clipping mask group reduces transparency, but does not have the knockout effect.
[p3] But if I remove the clipping group and change it to a regular group, I can achieve knockout effect.
[p4] But previewing in the navigator panel is normal, and Transparency Flattener is also normal.
This is what I discovered while knockout in the combining group, which made me very distressed because if combining and knockout at the same…

用紙サイズ指定で手差し印刷ができない
- 使用アプリ: Adobe Illustrator
- 前の環境：Windows10 / llustrator 28.4.1
- 現在の環境：Windows11 / llustrator 29.5.1 または 28.7.7
- 印刷機：富士フイルム DocuPrint C4150 d
問題：
前の環境では手差し印刷できるのですが、現在の環境では手差しトレイから印刷できません。
手差しトレイからではなく、標準のトレイから違うサイズの用紙を出してしまいます。行った手順：
印刷時にプリンタの詳細設定（左下の「プリンター（U）…ボタン→その他の設定）で・「用紙トレイ選択」を手差しのトレイに設定
・「原稿サイズ」を「ユーザー定義用紙」に設定
（バグを確認したのは、A3より少し大きめの306x437mm）また現在の環境では、データを再印刷する際に、印刷の詳細設定がリセットされてしまいます。
（前の環境では詳細設定が引き継がれていた）
印刷のプリセットを設定したとしても、毎回プリセットを読み込むのが面倒です。
こちらについても、印刷設定の保持ができるように改善していただきたいです。1 vote -
中韓フォントの文字組みを変更してもアキが変わらない
フォント「思源黑體 TW」の文字組みを「なし」や「行末約物半角」などに変更しても、アキ量が変化しない現象がありました。
上記現象が発生したバージョンは下記の通りです。OS：Windows 10 Pro
Illustrator CC：V 29.1、V 29.2、V 29.3.1（V 29.2.1、V 29.3は調べてません）
なお、V 29.0、V 28.7.3 は当該現象は発生していません。問題発生時の手順：
・スクリプトを使いCSVデータを読み込んで文字情報を取得、文字をイラストに書き込む
・文字入力後、フォント「思源黑體 TW」へ変更
上記どちらでも問題が発生します。想定していた結果：
添付をご参照ください。
V29.0文字組み「なし」.png
V29.0文字組み「行末約物半角」.png実際の結果：
添付をご参照ください。
V29.1文字組み「行末約物半角」.png
V29.1文字組み「なし」.png
この２つの全角、半角のアキが同じ（変化がない）となっております。
（どれを選んでも「なし」と同じ状態です）他のフォント（下記）で試してみましたが、アキ量の変化は確認できました。
・源ノ角ゴシック JP
・A-OTF UD新ゴ Pr6N L
・メイリオ
・游ゴシックIllustratorフォーラムにも投稿し他の方にもご検証いただいたところ、日本語以外（繁体字、簡体字、ハングル）のフォントで同様の現象が起きているようです。
また、InDesign20.1(2025)でも同様の現象が起きているようです。バグであれば是非ともご対応いただけると幸いです。

Copying selection in Layers panel no longer works
Illustrator 29.5.1 on Mac Mini M4 running Sequoia 15.4.1: Dragging the colored square in the Layers panel from one layer to another with the Option key pressed no longer copies the selection to the new layer. It just moves it to the new layer.

Allow to change scale and precision, show/hide units for existing dimensions
Once dimension is created, we can’t change some parameters of it: scale, precision, units displayed.
We can open Dimension Tool Options and change these for NEW dimensions, but both Properties and Control don’t allow to modify existing ones.The only thing we can do is change these parameters, create a new dimension and then hit 'Apply to all' button in Quick Actions section in Properties (which should be a menu command as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49010378) — but what if we don’t need to change ALL the dimensions, but only some?
Another thing is to delete a dimension and recreated it…6 votes -

割注指定の文字と通常の文字の間のカーニングおよびトラッキングができない

Releasing Shift when resizing an area type with Alt+Shift (but still holding Alt) makes the text jump
Take a look at the GIF attached.
Here are the steps:
1. Create an area type, enable bounding box, click and drag a corner marker with Selection tool
2. Hold Alt + Shift to proportionally resize the area from its center
3. Change your mind!
4. Release Shift while still holding Alt and the mouse key — while still moving the cursorSome splitting happens — the frame of the bounding box follows the cursor, but the rendered frame with the text stays in the previous registered location.
The faster you move the mouse — the larger is the gap.…

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.
I am on…

When a justified area type with a short line gets converted into a point type, text shifts
Why this justified text suddenly jumps into the middle of the area type’s bounds when converted into a point type? Not new at all, happens in CC2017 at least. It should stay where it was. If I change it to be just left-aligned, it works as expected.

A width profile that is uneditable and rendered wrong
Take a look at these two path; Illustrator says they have the same width profile, but it’s obviously not correct.
If saved as Graphic styles — these do match.
Paths match.
Directions match (and simple reversing still looks different).
The left-hand path cannot be edited with the native Width tool.I can edit these with Width Selector tool by Astute Graphics, but it makes the width changed in a different spot. Saving the style, clearing the appearance, reapplying the style — heals the bug. Deleting a leftmost segment... this keep the look the same (almost), but the bug gets healed…

Object size (width/height) swapped in control bar.
See attached screenshot. Control bar shows the width and height of the object/rectangle incorrectly. 'Transform' box shows correct info, but control bar swaps the 2 dimensions.
2 votesShape’s width and height differ from path's width and height, as explained in comments.
To deal with the second half of the problem, vote for this request to make Offset Path to respect the original position and the direction of a path.

Saving Process
I recently updated my Illustrator, and I've encountered a new error. When I try to save my project, the saving process won't complete, and there are no options to cancel it. Also, it is not shown on the tasks panel. I have to open a new document and save that as a new file. After a few rounds of saving, the problem occurs again, and I have to force stop the app to prevent further issues with recovered documents.
I would greatly appreciate your help in solving this problem. Thank you.

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!11 votes
