1. Appearance items below get expanded / unfurled when anything changes in the panel

   Assign many fills to a path using Appearance.
   Do anything with anything in the panel: change a color, assign an effect, add another fill.

   Fills below the current one get unfurled.

   These could be fills just below the current view of the panel, 'below the fold', as one of the attached GIFs show, or all the fills below the last unique one, as in the second GIF.

   I’d test more, but the fact we can’t collapse all the items in the Appearance panel (which is possible with Opt/Alt in Layers!) makes me extremely irritated — so I made a request to allow this as well: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49257572

   UserVoice has many more reports and requests about Appearance being underdeveloped. I do my best to crosslink these, but don’t hesitate to just look for these here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs?category_id=209074 and here: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests?category_id=209482

2. Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files open at 1/10 scale in Adobe Acrobat and RIP software (Onyx) – large artboards only

   This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

   Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

   OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

   Adobe Illustrator (desktop): 30.0 (2026 release)

   For the time being, we have reverted back to Illustrator 2025 where the same workflow works correctly.

   Basically:

   When we save .ai files with large artboards from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) and then open those files in our printer RIP software (Onyx), the artwork does not come in at the correct size. Instead, it appears at roughly 1/10th of the intended scale. This can also be replicated by opening the files in Acrobat.

   The same files saved as PDF from Illustrator 2026 open at the correct size in the RIP, and .ai files saved from Illustrator 2025 also open at the correct scale. This suggests the problem is specific to the Illustrator 2026 .ai format for large artboards.

   Steps to reproduce:

   On a Mac Studio (M1 or M2) running macOS Sequoia, open Adobe Illustrator 30.0 (2026).

   Create a new document with a large artboard (52x300).

   Add some content.

   Save the file as a native .ai file (Illustrator 2026 default format).

   Open the saved .ai file in Onyx (RIP software) or Adobe Acrobat.

   Compare the size reported by Acrobat or Onyx (or measured within the RIP) to the original artboard / artwork dimensions in Illustrator.

   For comparison:

   From the same Illustrator 2026 document, Save As → PDF with default or standard print settings.

   Open the PDF in Onyx or Acrobat and check the size.

   Repeat the same test using Adobe Illustrator 2025, saving an .ai file with the same artboard dimensions, and open that .ai in Onyx or Acrobat.

   Expected result:

   The .ai file saved from Illustrator 30.0 (2026) should open in Acrobat and Onyx at the exact same scale and dimensions as defined in the Illustrator document (matching the large artboard size).

   The size reported in the RIP should match the Illustrator artboard (just as it does with Illustrator 2025 .ai files and 2026 PDFs).

   Actual result:

   Illustrator 30.0 (2026) .ai files with large artboards open in Acrobat and Onyx at approximately 1/10th of the correct scale.

   The same artwork:

   Opens at the correct scale as a PDF exported from Illustrator 2026.

   Opens at the correct scale when saved as .ai from Illustrator 2025.

   So the incorrect scaling appears specific to 2026 .ai files + large artboards.

   Scope / notes:

   Issue has been reproduced by multiple users in our environment, all on M1/M2 Mac Studios.

   Affected OS: macOS Sequoia (and likely the previous macOS version on some machines; behavior appears consistent across both).

   The common factor is Illustrator 30.0 (2026) + large artboard .ai.

   PDF workflow works fine, as does Illustrator 2025, which is our current workaround, but we prefer to send native .ai files to the RIP, and we use the large artboards extensively.

   I would upload example files, but .ai files are apparently an invalid file type to upload here.

   This issue is affecting multiple users in our environment with the following setups:

   Hardware: Apple Mac Studio (M1 and M2)

   OS: macOS Sequoia (and possibly the prior macOS version – behavior appears on machines that have not yet updated as well)

   Done (Available in Prerelease)  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

   The team says it’s fixed in Prerelease build 29.6.191.

   The fix is now scheduled to be pushed into the upcoming general release. If you are a part of the PR program, please check if it works.

6. Printer and settings won't stay selected

   Every other update makes the default printer not stay saved and selected. I also use a custom setting to make the PDF shrink to fit and that does not stay selected either. With my job of designing proofs and sending them out, this makes a huge time waster to have to select the printer each time, click done and then click print again to get the printer settings to come up.

7. Live Paint settings reset on restart

   Whenever I open Illustrator the settings for Live Paint reset themselves.
   I.E. I double-click on the tool, set the swatch preview to off and highlight on, but next time I open Illustrator swatch preview is back on and highlight is off.

9. Text Converted to Outlines Upon Copy in 2026 with Keyboard Maestro Installed

   Adobe Illustrator 2026 (30.0)
   macOS Sequoia 15.7.1
   Keyboard Maestro 11.0.4

   When copying a live text object in Adobe Illustrator 2026 (point type, area type, type on a path objects), pasting with CMD+V or Edit > Paste converts the text into outlines when Keyboard Maestro Mac automation software is running.

   Quitting Keyboard Maestro Engine stops the behavior so that copying and pasting gives live text in the pasted object.

   Disabling com.adobe.svg as a clipboard copy flavor also fixes the problem, allowing copy and paste to preserve live text instead of creating outlines.

   This problem does not occur in Illustrator 2025 (29.8.3) or 2024 (28.7.10). User's history usage anecdotally confirms that the problem did not occur in any version of Illustrator '22, '23, '24, or '25.

   The problem is not because of a macro (tested with every group and macro disabled). If the Keyboard Maestro Clipboard History monitor is running, copying live text in Adobe Illustrator 2026 converts that text to outlines.

   Developer of Keyboard Maestro reviewed the bug and confirmed user's decision to report it to Adobe.

   Temporary solution: exclude Adobe Illustrator 2026 from Keyboard Maestro's Clipboard History via the KM Settings.

10. PDF Export for Screens saving full document even thought multiple files selected

    When you 'Export for Screens' as a range or tick certain artboards to export as PDF. These exported PDFs opens the full document rather than just the selected artboard. This happens when you open an exported PDF artboard in Illustrator 2026, but if you open it in 2025 version it opens as it should.

11. Applying a material to an extruded object says it’s not enough RAM

    I apparently don't have enough RAM to do this. I'm trying to add a material to the border of the left file, it's a fill not a stoke... I have 96GB of RAM.... I am apparently using 26GB of memory. 70 Gb of RAM Should really be enough for almost anything I would think. Please let me know if there's a way I can use these tools if not I'll have to go back to my client and say "Adobe can't do it" once again.

13. Command+V not working in Pantone Connect

    I just had an automatic update for Illustrator version [30.0], and since then, copying the hex code and pasting with shortcut Command+V is not working in the Pantone Connect extension. It seems that it is working with a right click of the mouse, but does anyone have an idea why the shortcut is not working anymore, as this was way faster?
    I'm on Apple M4 Pro 24GB Version 15.6.1 (24G90).

16. Text style in a mess when editing text. They appear ok in Preview mode. I can't complete the task or job.

    I am trying to edit this text in illustrator 29.7.1. Each time a type, make an amendment to the existing text it scrambles all of the settings and messes everything up (please see screenshots of before and after). I've tried to output to PDF but this also displays in a mess. Please let me know if there is a fix so I don't have to abandon this job and start again. Thanks, D

18. Illustrator 2025 cannot copy and paste.

    I cannot get my illustrator to copy and paste. The newer the version, the more frequent this issue happens. Now, I couldn't even copy and paste.

    I'm not using any 3rd party clipboard management. I did not reconfigure my keyboard shortcuts. I have cleared windows clipboard, cleared preference. I tried shutting off the software and reopen. Every time is still the same.

    It's not a new issue. What baffles me is Adobe keep coming out to new features while couldn't deal with such simple function.

20. Split Into Grid adds printable lines instead of guides

    In Split Into Grid window there's an option to "add guides". But instead of guides lines are added that have standard stroke — printable lines that are conveniently in neutral greenish color 0,1 pt stroke and look like guides so it's easy to miss that.
