29.4 is hanging/freezing in dialogs
I have found myself unable to work in 29.4. Program hangs/freezes all the time after entering some kind of dialog (save, settings, color mode, etc). I reset the settings to default, didn't help.
Reverted back to 29.3.1, no problems

Open or place PSD file does not keep any editable layers
I am trying to open a file that I created in PSD that has three layers plus some adjustment layers. Two of these layers are text. Regardless of if I open or place them Illustrator, the file comes in as a single bitmap layer. Open does ask me if I want to keep the layers and text, but it does not work. Place doesn't ask; it just places the image.

2025 (29.0.1) is giving tons of errors on preview.
I have a file with some simple multi-gradient appearance stacks that constantly throws two errors every time I load it, and every time I switch outline mode on and off. Also the document is marked as modified the instant I load it.
Works fine on 2023. Dunno how it works on 2024, I never switched to that one. Constantly complains on 2025.
This is happening in CPU preview mode, I would check if it's happening in GPU mode as well but I deleted 2025 before thinking about that detail.
Uservoice isn't letting me upload this file so I've posted it…
3 votesThe team says it’s fixed in Prerelease build 29.6.191.
The fix is now scheduled to be pushed into the upcoming general release.

線を細く設定した際の表示バグ
線の太さを0.001pxなどに設定した場合、設定は出来ているのに実際の線の表示位置と、選択できる線実体の位置にズレが生じます。
表示限界かとは思いますが、表示できないなら設定も出来なくすべきかと思います。3 votes -
Missing fonts are no longer highlighted when file opens
Quand j'ouvre un fichier et que je n'ai pas la police ouverte, avant j'avais le texte en surbrillance ce qui permettait de voir où la police était manquante.
Maintenat j'ai bien la fen^tre qui s'ouvre me disant que la police est manquante, mais je ne vois pas où ?When I open a file and I don't have the font open, I used to have the text highlighted, which allowed me to see where the font was missing.
Now I have the window that opens telling me that the font is missing, but I can't see where it is.1 vote -
Appearance items loose focus when get an effect assigned
When I pick a fill in Appearance panel and assign an effect to it, the item looses focus suddenly — take a look at the GIF attached.
If my stack there is complex enough (and they often are), it’s hard to locate the fill/stroke I was working with.
...and surely Ai doesn’t allow to rename these to at least find them quicker — and here is the request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852

Eyedropper cursor blinks while held
If you pick Eyedropper tool and hold it to sample a color continuously — it blinks, jumps, tries to change into a default pointer arrow.
Take a look at the small GIF attached, or watch a video by Laura Coyle here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/lauracoylecreative_adobeillustrator-color-activity-7274877800715583491-HkxBHappens on both Windows and Mac.
And so you know it can work better and some other succeed — compare it with the way Affinity Designer does it (the second GIF).6 votes -

Non-global swatches in cloud libraries don't retain names when added in new documents
I have a large cloud library with like 800 swatches for customers that I need to use in multiple different documents. Most of the swatches were uploaded with the global tag so when I use them later on, they still have their name when I add it to the documents. However, some of my swatches are missing the global tag so when I add them later on, they just automatically convert the selected object to CMYK and doesn't add it to my swatch panel.
If it matters, my workflow is selecting the objects that need the new swatches, then clicking…

What’s New screen pops up every time I close all documents
Illustrator wastes my time by making it necessary to close the annoying splash screen whenever I close a document. Really annoying. Please get rid of it or make it optional.

Preview Only Text rendered as moved compared to the original
The new Preview Only Text feature is bugged. Attached is a screen shot of a comparison of the original document and Illustrators Preview Only text. The copy actually moves quite a bit from it's original position. The text is area type and within a box if that is a clue. This should be a huge concern for anyone trusting the preview only text.

More than 32,000 anchor points can be added to a single path
The pathPoint limit is 32,000, and if we try to continue drawing a path from the end of a PathItem with the pen tool, a dialog box will appear and refuse to add anchor points, but we can add anchor points to the segments in between.
macOS 14.7.2
Illustrator ver. 29.3.1Step to reproduce
1. Create a path object in a new document.
2. Add 32,000 anchor points to the path object.
3. Click on any segment with the pen tool. We can add anchor points even if the number of anchor points exceeds 32000 (the number of segments exceeds…3 votes -
Export Assets (Elements) as SVG results in additional content in exported file
When exporting assets as SVG using Asset Export panel, additional content is added — content that I exported weeks ago. When using "artboards" to export everything is correct.

29.5 hanging on startup
29.5 is hanging on startup for me, won't get past loading in plug ins, then it just sits there... system is OS 15.4, Mac Studio M1 Max 64/512. SwatchLibs.aip seems to be the issue, won't load anything past that. Wacom Tablet is installed, latest driver in place as well.

Tabs in Swatch Info text are made with spaces instead of actual tabs
This is so bizarre. A native function for a professional application uses spaces in text to define tab stops, for a non-monospaced font...
Sure, tabs just won’t work, since they stay in place if the Swatch Info object gets resized.... and Ai still doesn’t allow to scale tabs if needed...
Instead of making 'Indent to here' work (here is a request about it: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/37578991) and use it here, this is hacked, rather dirty, giving a worth example to designers. Change the font and the indentations rips apart...
Shame!

Area type vertical alignment and auto size doesn't work
I've been using Illustrator on my Intel Mac under Sequoia and last versions lets you choose center, bottom or justify alignment but it always acts as top and the auto size option is disabled.
2 votesPlease post a screen recording of this issue. In Illustrator 2024 Auto-resize is disabled when alignment is "Center", "Bottom" or "Justify", and Auto-resize works fine when alignment is set to "Top". I see the same behavior in Illustrator 2025 as well.
