My files are not saving
Whenever I save a file it says it was saved on my desktop, but when I go to find it later its not there, like it didnt save or never even existed. I was recently working on a few files and I saved them all, but when I opened the app again only five opened, more then 70% of my work was lost and I dont know why.

Images within opacity masks shift
When using multiple opacity masks in a file in an earlier version, including 29.31. Opening it in illustrator 29.4 almost all the images used for the masks are repositioned to the center of the page.
11 votesThe fix is available in both Beta 27.9 9 and Prerelease 29.6 191 builds. Please try to test it and comment back if it now behaves as expected

フォントの表示がおかしい
本日Illustratorのアップデート後、作成途中のドキュメント上のほとんどの文字が正常に表示されなくなりました。例えば、文字間の詰めが-1000のようになっている（数値は0なのに）。漢字が図形に化けている。書体によっては、まとなものもありますが、メインで使う新ゴやリュウミンなどは全く表示されません。
ところが、フォントの表示がないのに、PDFにすると表示されているのはなぜでしょう。4 votes -
Dashed strokes with round caps and zero dash lengths (dotted dash) looks very imprecise when using Large Canvas, with GPU Preview
A 1 pt stroke with 0 dash length, when created within a large canvas file, looks chewed. When expanded, the points get baked like this.
CPU Preview shows these correct, but expanding it still creates dancing points.
Doesn’t happening in a normal canvas sized docs.Large canvas should become stable finally. So many bugs with it!

Threaded text areas display only first lines when Adobe Every-Line composer is used, since 29.6
Issue: two or more threaded text areas no longer render all text inside. The text does still exist (as visible in View > Outline) but it does not render on screen or when exporting / saving out. Whereas text flashes visibility for single text areas with no threading, but does eventually show.
Actions taken: fresh text areas; freshly typed text (not copy-pasted); fresh document with fresh areas and fresh text. All do not render fully. Also ensured text is at the very top with no unseen masks or shapes obscuring. Turning off and on Outline View, bounding box, edges etc.

Always crashes upon clicking All Formats (*.AI; *.AIT;...) button in the Open File dialogue box
Any time I try to open a file and ACCIDENTALLY hit the button All Formats, Illustrator freezes and stops responding. I have to close the program. This issue has been consistent across multiple versions and 2 computers, and happens every single time.

"Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo
"Exportar para Telas" não mantém o caminho de destino da pasta de origem do arquivo
Em versões anteriores do Illustrator (até a 24.1.3), o diálogo "Exportar para Telas" usava automaticamente a pasta do arquivo .ai como destino padrão de exportação, e lembrava o caminho entre sessões. Esse comportamento foi alterado em alguma atualização posterior e, desde então, o caminho de exportação é resetado toda vez que o Illustrator é reiniciado.
Embora a correção tenha sido anunciada no Beta 29.5.52 (março de 2025), o comportamento ainda não está funcionando de forma consistente na versão de release geral.
Comportamento esperado: ao reabrir…

Enclosed Selection mode should work in isolation using the correct scope
Illustrator today allows to make Enclosed Selection Mode a permanent option, with with the Select Objects only within Marquee option, in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display, as was requested here and in a separate request at http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/49503929
But I still can’t use it fully today.
I isolate often, and Selection tool does not allow to use Enclosed mode when isolated. For some strange reason it requires the Group Selection tool to do so, as if my scope stays at the document level, and I’m no in isolation! Make Selection tool work in Enclosed mode in isolation, please.5 votes -
「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからバリアブルフォントをアクティベートできない／Cannot activate variable fonts through Resolve Missing Fonts.
Adobe Fontsが含まれたドキュメントを開くとき、そのフォントが環境になくても「環境にないフォントを解決する」などからアクティベートできるのですが、バリアブルフォントの場合はアクティベートができず、困っています。
・和文でも欧文でもバリアブルフォントだとアクティベートできない
・Beta版と製品版（2025、2024）で確認したが、アクティベートできないのはいずれも同じ回避策として
・Adobe FontsのWebサイトで事前にアクティベートしておく
・文字パネルの「さらに検索」タブからアクティベートするなどの方法が挙げられますが、単純に手間ですし、初心者さんにとってはハードルの高い作業だと感じます。
ほかのフォント同様に「環境にないフォントを解決する」や「フォントの検索や置き換え」からでもアクティベートできるのが正しい挙動だと考えています。UserVoiceで似たような報告を見つけられなかったので、日本語版だけのバグではないか？と疑っています。
バグであれば早めに解消いただけると嬉しいです。
When opening a document with Adobe Fonts, missing fonts can usually be activated via "Resolve Missing Fonts," but variable fonts cannot.
- This affects both Japanese and Latin variable fonts.
- Tested in Beta and release versions (2025, 2024) with the same result.
Workarounds:
- Manually activating fonts on the Adobe Fonts website.
- Using the "Find More" tab in the Character panel.However, these add extra steps and can be difficult for beginners. Variable fonts should also be activatable through "Resolve Missing Fonts" and "Find/Replace Fonts," just like other…

GPU rendering & mouse with indents (stepping) scroll wheel = blurry graphics
When scrolling with a scroll wheel that has indents, the GPU rendering causes blurry graphics at the beginning of the newly rendered pars that come into the workspace. See attachment.
It takes half a second to render that portion of the screen in normal quality on a Mac Studio Max! This machine should render fast enough to see no blurry parts. (120fps games as an example!)
I suspect Ai 29.8.2 to have a render engine problem. It’s just too slow. Other apps like Figma, Affinity Designer render the same documents 100x faster.2 votes -
Not working GPU - not active on MAC Studio M2 Ultra
I have a problem with GPU display on my MAC Studio 2023 M2 Ultra with MAC OS 26.4.1 TAHOE.
- when I turn off or on the ruler display, the screen flashes black and the Display with GPU function is deactivated.
- the same situation occurs when I have a grouped object, when I want to Edit it. The screen flashes black and the GPU does not work.
It has been doing this since Illustrator version 30.3 after the MAC OS update to 26.4.1. I have to close the application and after reopening it, the GPU is active! But just hide the…

Suffix still gets added when an image is exported even though the option to add it is disabled
While exporting a AI file to, for example JPG, the checkbox for automatic file extension (suffix) is unchecked. When I export it, the filename gets a extension (suffix) '-01' behind it. When I export, check the box, and uncheck it, the file saves without the extension (suffix), like it should. So every time I have to check and uncheck the option before exporting. Very annoying. Never had this issue before.
Newest updated installed 29.6.1 on Windows 10 Pro.
Anyone else has the same issue?

PARM Error after switching from Illustrator CC2023 to Illustrator CC2025
ILLUSTRATOR PARM ERROR MESSAGE
Hello everyone,
I am trying to resolve a PARM issue that users have been facing since migrating from CC 2023 (27.9) to CC 2025 (29.8.2).
System: macOS 15.6.1
Apple M1 Max
64 GB
The error message appears on many files, significantly slowing down file editing and making Illustrator extremely slow.
The only solution I have found is to reset the Illustrator preferences. This solution temporarily fixes the issue, but then it switches back.
When this happens (regularly), Illustrator becomes impossible to use.
I am looking for information on this issue. Is it a hardware issue, RAM,…2 votes -
Unable to lock aspect ratio when using the Scale tool
In version 30.1, scaling a graphic with the Scale tool while the aspect ratio is locked no longer works correctly. When holding the Shift key and dragging the mouse at a 45° angle, the graphic snaps back to its original size instead of maintaining proportional scaling. This breaks the previously working workflow for scaling graphics while preserving aspect ratio.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Select a graphic to scale.
- Choose the Scale tool.
- Click and hold the mouse button on the graphic.
- Hold down the Shift key and drag the mouse at a 45° angle.
Observed Result:
The graphic flickers rapidly, alternating between the original and scaled sizes, and ultimately…

拡大縮小
バージョン30.0で拡大縮小ツールで「パターンの変形」のみを行おうとした際、ダイアログ上で「オブジェクトの変形」「パターンの変形」の両方のチェックが入った状態（もしくはオブジェクトの変形からパターンの変形に変更）から、「オブジェクトの変形」のチェックを外して「パターンの変形」のチェックのみにして実行するとパターンの変形が何度やっても実行されない。（最初から「パターンの変形」のみにチェックが入っていた場合のみパターンの変形が実行される）
場合によっては、その後のオブジェクトの拡大縮小も挙動がおかしくなるので再起動が必要になる。
なお、他の変形ツールに関しては未確認。2 votes -
Color changes (and other things) do not change until I click on the page somewhere in Illustrator 2026
As in the title. I cannot see the changes I've made (fill color, stroke color, or fill/stroke flip) until I click on the page. Also after working on a file for some time, the "info" data stops working. i.e. the height and width (of an object) show zero instead of a number value. Restarting the app fixes it, but only temporarily.
Note: these same things are happening on 2 (completely different computers). One is a high-powered Alienware Area 51 desktop, the other is a high-powered Dell.

Blob Brush doesn't respect "Draw inside" when painting with a color existing outside
I included a picture to explain the problem.
If the user intentionally chooses to draw inside a shape, then that limit should be respected. but instead, if we are painting with a color that exists outside, new strokes merges with the older ones, resulting on the painting escaping the "draw inside" feature.I think that the blob Brush merging should be less aggressive and should respect masks, otherwise it's not intuitive and goes against user input, which qualifies this to be a bug.
