1. Tabs window not available in 30.1

   Mac OS Tahoe, AI desktop version 30.1 <-- updated yesterday 12/22/25
   Creating new area text (paragraph text) which requires tab structure, first thing, the shift+command shortcut no longer works. So I can't indicate in a screen grab what doesn't show up. It is also greyed-out within the Top Window Menu>Type>Tabs

2. Absolute mode in Transform Each gives inaccurate dimensions

   For the new "Absolute" option in the Transform Each window, I expected it to be able to scale objects with strokes to exact dimensions when the "Scale Strokes & Effects" checkbox is unchecked.

   With the checkbox checked, everything works as expected. However, users also need to scale an object while keeping the stroke unchanged, yet still achieving an exact target width or height (a common need for icon designers, for example).

   As you can see at the start of the video, the original size is 74.1971 pt in Transform Each. We then instruct it to become 50 pt, and the function confirms it has done so. But in reality:
   * The object's height, including the stroke, is not 50 pt.
   * The object's height, excluding the stroke, is also not 50 pt.

   For comparison, I later demonstrate a script that, with the "Scale Strokes & Effects" box unchecked, provides the expected precise height, based on either the visual or geometric bounds as an option.

3. More than 1 Placed Item that has been named loses name in 29.6.1

   Place 2 linked items. Rename each item in the layer panel to Item 1 and item 2. Save File as Template or Document. Reopen. Only the first name appears. The second appears as <Linked File>. Any others also are renamed to <Linked File>. This is crucial to automation of template files to replace linked files and needs to be fixed! Have no issues with 29.5

4. File names are broken on macOS scripts

   Bug reproduction:

   #target illustrator
   
   var file = File.openDialog("Select any file", "All files:*.*");
   var message = 'Results\nfile.name: "' + file.name + '"\nfile.displayName: "' + file.displayName + '"\nfile.localizedName: "' + file.localizedName + '"';
   alert(message);
   

   Save this as a script, run it in Illustrator on macOS and select any file.

   Expected outcome: An alert is displayed with all of the name attributes are populated
   Actual outcome: displayName and localizedName give empty string and undefined.

   Tested on macOS 15.7.1, Illustrator v29.8.2. Same script works on Windows 11.

6. Can't select linked png/bmp files when they have transparent backgrounds.

   Placing several linked BMP or PNG files with transparent backgrounds causes them to become randomly unselectable by clicking on them. You have to go to outline mode, find and select the edge of the image, or select with marquee tool and then carefully unselect the extra objects. Either way, it cannot be moved except to click on the edge of the images frame. This has been an issue for years. I think I may have even posted about it before, but can't find that now. IMO this is an issue that should be escalated as it such a basic operation that is broken. See the video below. This has been replicated by many others.

7. CMYK colors get recalculated in a document with color mode changed from RGB to CMYK, using Color Picker

   According to the user, they often receive files created in RGB mode, and they have to convert them to CMYK, using File > Document Color Mode, make specific changes and push documents further. And while the document becomes CMYK, Ai keeps recalculating supplied values, as if these get double-converted via RGB space.

   There are easy steps to reproduce this problem from scratch.
   1. Create a new RGB document, using Web Document Profile
   2. Go File > Document Color Mode > CMYK
   3. Create a rectangle
   4. Open Color and enter a CMYK color, like 15-30-45-15, tabbing through values. Press Enter while being in the last K field.
   5. Open Color Picker again and check the values.

   Expected — CMYK 15-30-45-15.
   The one I get, using my Color Settings, is 21,15-32,8-47,81-7,71

   If I enter these same values in Color panel — they get accepted fine.
   Sometimes the Color Picker becomes sane and stops converting, but I haven’t figured out actions needed... perhaps something with the order of focusing fields?

   My guess is that somehow Ai treats the HEX field as the last selected one (even though it’s not), adn uses the value in it as the final choice...
   Please fix.

8. メッシュを使ったグラデーションを回転するとひび割れのような線が入る

   メッシュを使ったグラデーションを回転するとひび割れのような線が入るのを改選してほしい
   メッシュを使ったグラデーションをラスタライズすると、ひび割れは消えるが、かなり拡大しないとわからない穴が開いていて、そのままプリントしてしまい、製品作り直し大きな損害でした。

9. Frozen Libraries Panel in Illustrator 30.1

   This has happened to me in various CC programs, but Ilustrator is the one most persistent. Basically I have Illustrator open most of the day and am switching between various apps in my workflow. Most commonly, when I return to Illustrator after it has been open for a while the CC library panel will be frozen. I am unable to click on anything in there, and if I resize the panel it distorts the contents. Sometimes the panel is partially frozen and I find out by trying to apply a color swatch, but instead the click opens a graphic asset that is no where near where I selected on the screen.

   The only fix is to quit the program and relaunch it. Occasionally, it happens during the time I am working in the program, but mostly I find it that way after returning to it. This is getting so disruptive that I am finding myself avoiding use of the libraries panel altogether. This says a lot because this is normally one of the most cohesive and convenient parts of my workflow.

   I have read various posts on this, I am familiar with and at times relaunch Creative Cloud. However, none of these actions make a lasting change. I recently updated to a new Mac Studio and I had hoped that this issue was somehow tied to the fusion drive on my old computer. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same issues on this new system. There is something wrong with CC libraries that has been causing this issue for at least a year and persists with the most recent updates. This needs to be fixed.

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

   Expected to be fixed in the latest 30.8.0.7 Beta build. Please update and check if it now behaves as it should.

10. Can’t edit colors in a selection

    When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

11. SVG import bug: cannot import images via SVGs exported from Figma

    Here's an example SVG with four images (all referencing the same image -- this is a simple checkerboard raster (I tried using a more visual example, but the base64-encoded strings for photos seem to be too big for UserVoice)).

    • I believe this is first plagued by the same problem as https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447-illustrator-desktop-bugs/suggestions/50819006-svg-import-bug-svg-parser-is-incorrectly-depend . If I import as written here, all fills show up blank in Illustrator.
    • Once I reorder the defs to be at the top, I can see that the image is somewhere in here, but it is not rendering correctly in my file (see screenshot), presumably because of the pattern usage

    <svg width="1486" height="395" viewBox="0 0 1486 395" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

14. Pen tool can't close paths in draw behind mode in certain scenarios

    I'm drawing with the pen tool in draw behind mode. However, every time I start a path on where an anchor is of another path above it is located, I won't be able to close the path by clicking the starting anchor point. It will instead just create another anchor point in that exact same spot and continue the path.

17. Exporting PDFs makes a single file instead of many for each artboard

    I am experiencing an issue exporting PDFS under export for screens. I have 2 artboards which I have named, but when I export it only exports 1 artwork and names the PDF the actual file name instead of the artboard name. Other file types, png, jpg, etc seem to be working but not PDFs.

18. Documents preview not updated properly in Indesign

    When I save an Illustrator file, import it into Indesign, then make changes to the file, save it again and update the link in Indesign, some parts are not updated in the preview (see attached image). This doesn't happen every time, seemingly at random.

    I have resolved this by first saving as an older version and then again as latest version, but that's not a real solution.
    Somebody told me to uncheck 'Save in background' in settings, this also solved the problem but again, is not a real solution.

    I have this problem simultaneously with the (already known) problem where Indesign shows all object layers of all artboards when viewing/hiding specific object layers.

    I'm using Illustrator 30 on Sonoma.

    Done (Available in Beta)  ·  AdminRohit Jain (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    The related issue (Duplicate layer – http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50611952), which might have been causing this problem, has been resolved, and the fix is now available in our latest beta version, 30.2.12.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused

19. Clearly inform about specific words "violating" community standards when generating art

    I think when 'one or more words' violate the guidelines, Illustrator should clearly inform us what words these are exactly.
    I guess this can be used for a bad cause, like to gather the database of restricted words... but I don’t understand why normal users should suffer because of this.
