Color Mixer in Control and Properties panels gets broken after using Tab
The Color Mixer in Properties and Control works oddly. Here, I try to navigate my fields with Tab, and then drag one slider — boom, it all breaks: sliders vanish, active fields become visually inactive, closing it becomes very hard...
I feel like it started happening when the generative virus put its tendrils into Ai.

Em dash incorrectly rotates upright in vertical text layout
Illustrator 2025 (29.8.1) (29.8.2) Japanese
Em dashes are Latin characters, so in vertical text layout they should be rotated sideways like other alphanumeric characters.
However, in v29.8.2, Em dashes are rotated upright like Japanese characters. This is clearly a bug.
EMダッシュが縦組みで正立回転する
EMダッシュは欧文の文字なので、縦組みでは他の英数字を同じく横倒しになります。
しかし、v29.8.2では、和文の文字のように正立回転してしまいます。これは明らかにバグです。19 votesSupposedly fixed in the latest Beta 30.4.0.80 — if possible, please update and check the fix.

New Glitch in Smart Guides, highlighting perspective grid-like points
Theres a new update glitch in smart guides, when I have an object selected, a bunch of perspective grid-like highlights.
This setting is connected with object highlighting in smart guide settings. If i shut off object highlighting in Illustrator>Preferences>Smart Guides>Object Highlighting, the issue stops.
Seems like just a new bug glitch in a recent illustrator update.

Images and Shadows Not Rendering Correctly
I am having issues with build 29.8.2.
When I link photos to my artboards and add drop shadows to shapes or objects, the display is not rendering them. It will show them, but if I move or zoom out, sometimes they go away. And if I export my artboards, these issues carry over. The images dont export, there is just a grey circle where that masked image is supposed to be. And shadows from one object to the next are different, just not even there. How can I fix this?3 votes -

New fonts don't load upon installation
Somehow, the new Adobe Illustrator updates prevent manually installed fonts from loading. These are fonts that aren't available in Adobe Fonts. So I have to install them manually. Because of this, I have to restart Illustrator so I can use the font. There's no problem when activating fonts on Adobe Fonts. Is there a workaround for this?

Swatches disappear in Swatches panel when switching between documents
I've got two documents open. An RGB one, and a CMYK one. When I CMD+TAB between the two, all the current swatches disappear. I have to click on a different 'view swatches' button to make them appear. This happens EVERY TIME. I just updated to the latest version of Illustrator thinking it would fix it, but it doesn't.

PDF/X-4で書き出す際にダウンサンプルされる
macOS14.7.2/Imac27inch i5/32GB mem/1TB ssd
Illustrator ver29.5再現手順
1.800ppiのモノクロ2開帳の画像をドキュメントに原寸で配置する。
2.ファイル→コピーを保存を実行、PDF形式を選択し次のダイアログでプリセット「PDF/X-4:2008（日本）」を選択して保存する。
3.PDFを開いて配置した画像を調べると300ppiにダウンサンプルされている。期待する結果
800ppiのままダウンサンプルされずに保存される。実際の結果
配置したビットマップ画像は300ppiにダウンサンプルされる。このプリセットでは実行解像度が1800ppiを超えた際に1200ppiにダウンサンプルされるように設定されている。配置状態で800ppiの画像はダウンサンプルの条件に当てはまらない為ダウンサンプルされてはいけない。
また、300ppiという数値はモノクロビットマップ画像を取り扱うには致命的に低い解像度と言える。回避方法
ビルトインのPDF/X-4プリセットは利用せず、同等のプリセットを自身で作成して利用する。その他、プリプレス関連メーカーが配布するPDF/X-4プリセットを利用しても良い。EN
Step to reproduce
1. Place an 800ppi monochrome bitmap image in the document in its original size.
2. Select File→Save a copy, choose PDF format, and in the next dialog, select the preset "PDF/X-4:2008 (日本)" and save the file.
3. Open the PDF file in Acrobat and check the placed image to find that it has been downsampled to 300ppi.Expected result
The image is saved without being downsampled to 800ppi.Actual result
The placed bitmap image is downsampled to 300ppi.…

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).
