  1. Asset export does not include appearance outside bounding box area of text objects (preview bounds are ignored)

    In Illustrator 2025 (using version 29.3.1), when exporting assets, appearance elements outside the bounding box area are cut off.
    In 2024 (28.7.5) and 2023 (27.9.6), all elements are exported without cutting.

    Reproduction Procedure
    1. create a text object
    2. add a bold stroke color to the text
    3. add as an asset export item
    4. export the asset

    Expected result
    Designs with stroke color should be exported as in previous versions without problems.

    Appendix.
    If a fill is added instead of a line and “path offset” is applied instead, this problem can be avoided because the bounding box is extended.

  4. White looks gray in Overprint Preview

    The recent update to 29.8.1 now shows whites as grays in overprint preview. This changed feature now added leaving users unable to turn it off creates a massive problem when building anything containing white elements that are mixed or overprinting with or near grey elements. It is also a huge issue when sharing PDFs created in the new 29.8.1 with users who may not have the wherewithal to open their settings and start changing overprint settings.

    Having been an artworker using Illustrator for over 20 years now, in which time I have seen some real clangers get through, but this…

  5. Direct Selection tool selects anchors below objects

    Direct Selection tool wrongly selects points hidden underneath filled objects in front of them, when the cursor clicks into a highlighted point.

    It seems that only Windows it behaves as expected when 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' in Preferences > Selection & Anchor Display is enabled. Macs still select stuff underneath.

    Originally discussed here at forums: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/i-m-having-this-issue-with-every-file-now-in-illustrator-object-selecting/m-p/15254043

    Take a look at the GIF attached for a quick demonstration.

    Bundled together with this report, it renders selection in Ai pretty broken :(

  6. Cannot move images in my design.

    I'm not able to move images in my design. If I click image trace and make the image into a vector then I can move it, but as soon as I rasterize it back into an image then I can no longer move it. I also am not able to click to select the image, I have to drag a box around it to select the image.

    Things I've tried:
    - Checked for update
    - Restarted my computer
    - Restarted Illy
    - Restarted Illy while pressing shift-options-command
    - moved the file to my desktop (off of external drive)
    - cleared…

  7. Stroke issues with text containers when exporting into SVG

    When exporting to SVG, text frames are interpreted as separate entities and inherit stroke/fill attributes from the text or group they are in. This results in unwanted strokes around the text frame itself. With other formats there are no issues.

    Attached a native-export-png and a result of a svg-export-png.

  9. Severe Lag in Adobe Illustrator When Editing Text and Objects—~15s Input Delay on 2MB File

    While working in Adobe Illustrator, I encountered severe performance issues across the entire application. Even with a lightweight file (~2MB), there was an approximately 15-second delay after any action—such as typing text, pressing Enter, or modifying objects. This lag affected not just text input but also general object manipulation and UI interactions.

    The issue persisted despite the file being relatively small. I’ve previously worked on significantly larger and more complex Illustrator files without similar lag. This suggests the problem may not be file size-related, but possibly linked to a software bug or compatibility issue.

    I attempted standard troubleshooting steps, including…

  10. Font Weights Change Upon Opening Files

    When opening a file I previously saved, all the font weights switched around. Things that were bold were now light and light font were bold. A few fonts were switched out to different fonts altogether, even though the same font was still in the document, so it wasn't like it was unavailable.
    I deleted any duplicate of the fonts and only had fonts from Adobe Fonts used in my documents, but the problem didn't go away. When opening an older version of the file that had the correct fonts weights, it would automatically change once I saved it.
    I ended…

  12. Can't Save multiple artboards as a Single File PDF from Export for Screens in 29.6

    Even though the single file option is checked, multiple artboards will not be saved in a single file, but as separate PDFs.
    This worked in previous versions.

  13. Hand tool is getting stuck in 29.1, massive performance issues

    Since yesterday Illustrator has virtually become unusable to me and I have no idea what happened. I didn't install any new apps.

    The issue is seems to be focused around using spacebar to pan around my document. It gets stuck on the hand tool and the pan itself is laggy. When using the middle button on my mouse, the pan works perfectly though.

    Left clicking on elements and manipulating them is an unsurmountable task with these issues, effectively making Illustrator unusable to me now...

    I really hope someone else is also experiencing this, but I haven't been able to find…

  14. Stroke scale is calculated wrong when resizing an object with the bounding box

    When scaling artwork by dragging a corner (I used the upper right corner) the strokes get messed up. In the included image the left logo has strokes and fills. The right logo has strokes converted to paths. When I reduce the image down 50% using the numerical scale menu by double clicking the scale tool it turns out fine as the top 2 show. Below that are 2 logos I scaled by dragging the top right corner and holding option shift keys. The logo with the stroke shows the outline being much smaller. If I select the 2 the top…

  15. 特定の状態のパス上文字を操作するとIllustratorがクラッシュする。

    macOS 14.7.2/iMac27inch/i5/1TB/32GB
    Illustrator ver.29.7.1

    再現手順
    1. 新規ドキュメントを開きアートボード上に楕円を描画する。
    2. パス上文字ツールで楕円をクリックして楕円を対象にパス上文字を作成
    3. 左右のブラケットを楕円の左右のアンカーポイントに合わせる。
    4. 中央のブラケットを操作するとブラケットが反対側に飛んだり戻ったりする。
    5. 4の挙動の後にクラッシュする。

    期待する結果
    ブラケット操作時に安定して操作できる。

    実際の結果
    ブラケットの操作が不安定で、高確率で最悪クラッシュする。

    回避方法
    楕円の一部をはさみツールで切断しておくことで不安定な動作を回避可能。

    EN
    Step to reproduce
    1. Open a new document and draw an ellipse on the artboard.
    2. Click on the ellipse with the Type on Path tool to create a Type on Path for the ellipse.
    3. Align the left and right brackets with the left and right anchor points of the ellipse.
    4. manipulating the center bracket causes the bracket to jump to the opposite side or back.
    5. crash after behavior of 4.

    Expected Results
    No crash…

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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?

  20. 塗りの線幅が縮小すると幅が変わってしまう

    図形や文字の幅をアピアランス→塗りを指定→パスのオフセットで
    幅を変更しています。v29.61と29.6でイラレを使用すると
    縮小などをした際に幅の比率が変わってしまいます。(線幅と効果拡大縮小もチェック済み)
    ※線で作成した図形や文字は比率を守ってくれます
    29.51を使用すると問題なく拡大縮小ができます。
    これはバグなのでしょうか?
