1. Way too many anchorpoints after expanding strokes or using the 'Blob Brush' tool

   Years and years ago something changed in Pathfinder commands, and when expanding the results contained many more anchor points than in the version before. I submitted a workflow and was told this could not be corrected in the next version and possibly not even in the version after that. It took years to get better, and it was still not as good as in CS2 (yes).
   Now, expanding strokes or even using the 'Blob Brush' results in so, so many anchor points that an immediate 'Simplify' is required to create usable designs. Using both the 'Pen' tool and all other tools, I find the intuitive tools such as the 'Blob Brush' crucial to create artwork and to combine functionality.

   It feels like going back to when things went wrong. You can't possibly ask people to use 'Simplify' after each stroke, this decreases productivity and creativity.

   I attach the result of the 'Blob Brush' in Illustrator 2022 and 2026, and the result of an expanded path in the same versions.
   The settings for the 'Blob Brush' tool are the same in both Illustrator versions; set to absolute smoothness, so this really should not happen.

   When will this be solved? Please solve this.

2. Live text converts to outlines when copying and pasting within Illustrator

   When copying artwork that contains live (editable) text and pasting it within the same document, or between Illustrator documents, the text objects intermittently convert to outlines (rendering them non-editable). This occurs with both area type and point type.

   This is happening with brand new files (not old ones). Dragging from one Illustrator document to another (correctly) brings in editable text, but I've ensured no third-party clipboard managers are enabled.

   If it still works wrongly — please comment back.

3. 日本語入力ができなくなるバグ

   【不具合報告】macOS Tahoe 標準日本語 IME が Adobe Illustrator でインライン入力に失敗する

   ■ 環境
   ・macOS Tahoe (26)
   ・Adobe Illustrator 29.8.6 および 30.3 の両バージョンで共通して発生
   ・IME: macOS 標準日本語入力（ライブ変換オフ）
   ・ハードウェア: Apple Silicon Mac

   ■ 症状
   Illustrator のテキストツールで日本語を入力しようとすると、未確定文字がアプリケーション内のカーソル位置（インライン）に表示されず、画面左下にフローティング変換ウィンドウとして表示される。変換ウィンドウ内で確定（Return）を押してもアプリケーション側に文字が入力されず、ウィンドウも消えない。

   Illustrator を再起動すると一時的に回復するが、数十分〜数時間の作業後に再発する。この症状は Illustrator のバージョンを変えても変わらないため、macOS Tahoe 側の IME の実装に起因する問題と考えられる。

   ■ 再現手順
   1. Illustrator を起動し、任意のドキュメントを開く
   2. テキストツールでテキストオブジェクトをダブルクリック
   3. 数十分〜数時間日本語入力を継続する
   4. 値わず、未確定文字がインラインではなく左下のフローティングウィンドウに出るようになる

   ■ 試みた対処（すべて効果なし）
   ・アプリケーションおよびシステムの再起動
   ・対象アプリケーションのキャッシュ・環境設定リセット
   ・フォントキャッシュのクリア
   ・入力ソースの再登録
   ・ライブ変換の ON/OFF 切り替え
   ・アプリケーシンのバージョンダウングレード（30.3 → 29.8.6）

   ■ 鈴決した事実
   AppleScript による Illustrator への JavaScript 実行命令は正常に通るため、Apple Events 自体のブロックはない。IME とアプリケーション間のインライン入力連携（Text Input Client プロトコル）が切れることが原因と考えられる。

   ■ 要望
   macOS Tahoe の標準日本語 IME において、長時間使用後にインライン入力セッションが失われる不具合を修正していただきたい。特に Adobe Illustrator のようなプロフェッショナル送のドローイングアプリケーションでの再現性が高い。

4. Join tool creates bezier curves on straight lines

   Windows 11 Home, 25H2
   Adobe Illustrator, v29.8.4

   I connect straight lines together with the Join tool. In those corners I expect the lines to be straight lines on both sides of the node, but in some places I get Bezier curves. I really don't want that as this forces me to go over every node that was formed.

   The next issue is that during the Join tool process it adds one node (always only one for some reason). I then have to localize it and delete it. That's very frustrating.

   Plus I want a way to I want a way to delete all unnecessary handles on straight lines: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/51075547

   As I create hundreds of these and sometimes more complex pattern It is really annoying and stressful form my hand to be so precise in my movements (to hit each node). Only for very simple pattern it doesn't create that extra node, but I still have to check for Bezier curves.

   The simple rule should be, once a straight line, always a straight line.

6. Tilde key for transforming patterns moves the whole shape instead of the fill clipped to it

   Holding down the tilde key ~ when direct selecting a pattern filled object used to give you the option to interactively transform the pattern inside the object. It would override the transform settings for patterns and give you a live preview when transforming (move/scale/rotate) the pattern only.
   This behaves different when moving the pattern in the 2025 and 2026 versions. It will move the object and the pattern and snap the object back when the mouse is released.

8. Illustrator incorrectly renders scaled transparent PSD images while transparent TIFF renders correctly

   Incorrect edge rendering when scaling transparent PSD images placed in Adobe Illustrator

   Full reproducible test package (including the PSD) is available here:
   https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dRNiKNw2IavAY_gcLM7166Iw8rU_dQAg?usp=share_link

   Environment
   • Adobe Illustrator (latest Creative Cloud version)
   • macOS (latest version)
   • Fully updated Creative Cloud applications

   Summary
   We found a reproducible rendering issue affecting transparent raster images placed into Illustrator.
   Two files (PSD and TIFF) were created from the exact same source artwork.
   They contain:
   • identical pixel content
   • identical dimensions
   • identical transparency
   The only difference between them is the file format.

   Illustrator renders these files differently when they are placed and scaled.

   Steps to reproduce
   1 Open the attached example.ai.
   2 The document contains two linked versions of the same image:
   ◦ PSD
   ◦ TIFF
   3 Scale each image to different percentages (for example 90%, 75%, 50% and 25%).
   4 Zoom in and inspect the edges.

   Actual result
   PSD:
   • Visible dark edge pixels appear.
   • The artifact becomes stronger as the placed image is scaled further away from 100%.

   TIFF:
   • No artifact.
   • Correct edge rendering at every tested scale.

   Expected result
   All two images should render identically regardless of source file format.

   Additional observations
   • At 100% placed size, the PSD renders correctly.
   • The artifact begins to appear as soon as the placed PSD is scaled.
   • The further the scaling deviates from 100%, the stronger the artifact becomes.
   • No export is required.
   • The issue is already visible immediately inside Illustrator.
   • Exported PDF or raster files simply inherit the incorrect rendering already present in Illustrator.
   • The issue can be reproduced using only a transparent raster image with 0% feather edges.
   • The issue is independent of object color.

   Workaround
   Replacing the PSD with a transparent TIFF completely eliminates the problem.
   Tested successfully with:
   • TIFF (None)
   • TIFF (LZW)
   • TIFF (ZIP)
   Attached files
   • example.ai
   • 6%.psd (Unfortunately the UserVoice attachment system does not allow PSD uploads.)
   • 6%LZW.tif
   • examplerendering_issue.png

   Additional note
   During my investigation I found an older Adobe Community discussion titled:
   “Black Edges on placed Ai and PSD transparency files”
   In that discussion Adobe Principal Scientist Dov Isaacs confirmed that an internal bug report had been filed.
   We can still reproduce what appears to be the same issue in the latest Illustrator release.
   The attached files provide a much simpler and deterministic reproduction case than the original discussion.
   Thank you for your time.

9. Text object becomes corrupted and cannot apply gradient or appearance

   Illustrator on Windows 11 sometimes turns normal point text into a broken area text object.
   When this happens:
   - “Convert to Point Type” does not appear
   - The text behaves like a text box even though it was created as point text
   - The Appearance panel cannot add a new fill (button is greyed out)
   - Applying a gradient turns the text completely black
   - Copy/paste keeps the corrupted state unless pasted as plain text

   This issue forces me to recreate text manually and interrupts my workflow.
   Please investigate the cause of corrupted text objects on Windows 11.

10. Unable to open old ai or pdf files

    Mac OS Tahoe, Ai version 30.1. <-- just updated 12/22/25
    I cannot open complete, editable Ai or PDF files created in older previous Ai versions. A message appears that Illustrator could only partially read the file. If I continue it creates a file that cannot be edited. Opening and editing files is CRITICAL to our print shop business.

11. Delete Artboard should not spam in History when only one artboard remains

    While deleting artboards rapidly works now s it should, I can’t but notice that even when the only artboard is left, the Delete Artboard command and step still fires up and pollutes the History panel. With the only artboard left the command should just do nothing (until Ai team decided to invent the artboardless canvas and break all the things).

12. Illustrator 30.5.1 started freezing

13. Fonts change after reopening Illustrator file

    I created a mailer in Illustrator with around 10–12 artboards and exported everything perfectly with the correct fonts. When I reopened the same file after two days to make changes, all the fonts had changed automatically, some text had disappeared, and the layout no longer matched my earlier exported JPGs. The fonts were installed and displaying correctly at the time of the first export, so the issue only appeared after reopening the saved file. I’ve attached the before/after GIF to show the difference.

15. Problem mit verknüpften Bildern in platzierten Illustrator-Dateien seit Update 30.2.1

    Seit dem Update von Adobe Illustrator auf Version 30.2.1 tritt ein Problem im Umgang mit platzierten Verknüpfungen auf, das zuvor nicht vorhanden war.

    Beschreibung des Problems:

    Wenn in einer Illustrator-Datei ein Bild platziert und als Verknüpfung (nicht eingebettet) eingefügt wird und diese Illustrator-Datei anschließend wiederum in eine zweite Illustrator-Datei platziert oder eingebettet wird, erscheint das verknüpfte Bild aus der ersten Datei in der zweiten Datei nicht mehr.

    Das Bildfeld bleibt leer, obwohl die Verknüpfung korrekt vorhanden ist.

    Erwartetes Verhalten (wie in früheren Versionen):
    In vorherigen Illustrator-Versionen wurden verknüpfte Bilder innerhalb einer platzierten .ai-Datei korrekt angezeigt, auch wenn diese Datei in einer weiteren Illustrator-Datei verwendet wurde.

    Aktuelles Verhalten:
    Verknüpfte Bilder aus der ursprünglichen Datei werden in der zweiten Datei nicht dargestellt.

    Workaround:
    Aktuell funktioniert die Darstellung nur, wenn alle Bilder in der ersten Illustrator-Datei vollständig eingebettet werden. Dies ist jedoch workflow-technisch problematisch, da Verknüpfungen bewusst zur Dateigrößen- und Assetverwaltung genutzt werden.

    Zusammenfassung:
    Seit Version 30.2.1 scheint die Weitergabe bzw. Auflösung von Bildverknüpfungen innerhalb platzierter Illustrator-Dateien nicht mehr korrekt zu funktionieren.

    Ich bitte um Prüfung, ob es sich hierbei um einen bekannten Bug handelt. Systeminformationen: Der Fehler tritt auf einem iMac Pro (3,2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W, 32 GB RAM) unter macOS 15.7.4 (24G57) auf.

17. Unable to move Layer into Sub-layers

    Illustrator makes no sense. I have a Layer full of vectors, but when I try to insert that layer into another layer to become a sub-layer, Illustrator refuses to acknowledge my request. In what world would prohibit me from such a simple task?

    Claimed to be fixed in the latest 30.3 general release.

    However, there was a new report about these showing up. Please update, check, read the comments, and if you experience something similar, upvote and comment.

19. Points move just slightly when segment is modified / reshaped using Anchor Point Tool

    This is a TINY problem, but as all the problem with precision, these do accumulate, leading to other problems — especially when exported into other more precise appications.

    To even see this within Ai a plugin is used, PathScribe by Astute Graphics, that allows to display distances between selected points, when 'Show Anchor Point Coordinate Ranges' option is enabled.

    Here, in a Print-based document (doesn’t matter really) I set up two perfect squares with integer sizes, placed on a grid perfectly. When I select two point occupying the same position, the plugin panel tells me these are coincident.

    Now I pick Ahcnor Point Tool and reshape the segment that uses one of these points to become a curve.
    Ideally, the positions of the points affected should not change —only handles should be added...
    ...yet Illustrator MOVES the points slightly.
    So now, if I select both points that should be coincident, the panel would tell me there’s now a small distance between them— just about 0.00005 mm... not enough to be noticed by Ai’s own functions, well within the tolerance of Pathfinder (0.028 pt, about 0.01 mm) and even more greedy Shape Builder (which got his own bug report about it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/50269572)

    I see no reason to change the positions.
    If I use the plugin’s own PathScribe tool that does the same thing (and was able to do this LONG before Adobe finally decided to add this function to Anchor Point Tool!) — there is NO change. Points don’t move, only handles update.

    Ai is so sloppy... I remember creating floor plans in Ai in 1:1000 scale (because the canvas is super tiny, even with 'Large Canvas (riddled with bugs too)), exporting it to CAD and having gaps — half a centimeter! Sure, Ai updated and doubled the precision since then, but I’m still traumatized. I deal with coordinates every day, designing both large and tiny things, and every decimal tail where I don’t expect it is frustrating. Sure, floating points, math... but just don’t change set values when it’s possible to NOT to.

    This is a TINY problem, but as all the problem with precision, these do accumulate, leading to other problems — especially when exported into other more precise appications.

20. Turntable access bug

    Turntable previously worked for me, and has now stopped allowing me access with an upgrade message.

    I have confirmed with support my subscription level should include turntable and I have full generative credits left for this month (although they did try to blame that and I had to wait for credits to renew before proving it wasn't the issue).

    Yet clicking turntable from illustrator results in the error message:

    "Upgrade to generate
    You don't have enough standard feature credits or need premium feature access for this generative action.
    Upgrade your Firefly plan now to continue after in-app payment
    Cancel
    * Upgrade"

    I am using illustrator 2026 version 30.5.1 on Mac Studio M1 Max running Tahoe 26.5.1 in Australia with Creative Cloud All Apps subscription.
