Exporting To SVG Format
Illustrator 30.2.1 has a consistent SVG exporting bug. I created some images containing gradients. When I export to SVG the first time, AI will create a correct SVG file. However, subsequent exports, AI will leave out all gradients. If I close the file and reopen it, the cycle repeats.

The preview is incorrect because some images are missing
Ever since at least Illustrator version 29.8.5, I've been having preview issues with linked images. Some images are missing from my preview.
I tested it in Illustrator 30.3, and the problem persists.

Hidden Characters remain visible when exporting in PNG
Windows 11 Pro Version 25H2
I work with Hidden Characters on, and when I export a PNG (export for Screens), they remain visible. Hidden Characters aren't supposed to remain visible after a PNG export. The only way that I could resolve the issue is to turn them off. But when I try to disable hidden characters, it looks like they are already off (even though I can still see them), and I have to turn them on, then off again, to make sure they are completely disabled.

Rich tool tips keep popping up
Rich tool tips are always randomly opening and staying open something even when I am on other side of screen. Hard to take a screen shot, as when I click to screen shot the tool tips disappear. It's been happening on 2 different machines running Sonoma for about 1 year. Never used to happen.
2 votesFixed in the latest Prerelease Build 30.4.0.211, now available in CCD app for all Prerelease program members.
This means the fix is planned to be later pushed in the next general 30.4 release.
The timer for tooltips would now check if the pointer is still within the tool button bounds after the delay finishes.

Custom letter shortcuts are not displayed in menus on macOS (JIS keyboard)
Environment
Illustrator 2026 (30.0&30.6)
macOS 26.5.2
Japanese (JIS) keyboardIssue
Custom keyboard shortcuts work correctly, but shortcuts using letters or symbols are not displayed in the application menus.
Numeric shortcuts (for example ⌘1, ⌘2) are displayed correctly.
Letter shortcuts (for example ⌘@, ⌥⌘R) execute correctly but are not shown in the menus.
The shortcuts are visible in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and are saved correctly.
This appears to be a menu display issue only.
Steps to reproduce
Open Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts.
Assign a custom shortcut using a letter (e.g. ⌘@).
Save the shortcut set.
Observe that the shortcut works.…2 votes -
Adobe Illustrator Pantone Connect LAB Color Bug
My team is running into a bug with Pantone Connect integration in Illustrator.
Steps to repeat:
1. Create Adobe Illustrator file.
2. Add Pantone swatch with Pantone Connect.
3. Swatch is LAB color, as it should be.
4. Save as PDF.
5. Import PDF into InDesign, and it comes in as a CMYK Pantone swatch.
6. If we import the native AI file, it comes comes in as a LAB Pantone swatch.We also noticed that if you put something like a rectangle in the document, and have it selected, when you select your swatch in Pantone Connect, it will…

Illustrator 29.7.1 changes units to points and resets other values after changing Keyboard Increment value when Search field has text in it
Another paradox is that version 29.7.1 of Illustrator constantly changes the units from px to points after entering an new value in keyboard increment. Does it happen to anybody else?

Pressing Tab in Color panel glitches
When adding a color to a object via the Color panel, normally you could use tab to move to the next field in the CMYK color options. Now and for the past few versions released it glitches any time you use Tab.
To get it to work you now have to type in the number for C, click enter then click in the M, Enter/click Enter and so on, which is time consuming. If you don't do it this way it glitches after hitting.
In the video i linked, the first try is using Tab, then the 2nd where it…

Overlapping linearly opposing gradients (solid-to-transparent, of the same color) doesn’t produce a solid color
One oddity, which happens both in RGB and CMYK is that there is always some visibility of the background with two overlapping, linearly opposing gradients (black to white and white to black).
RGB attached for simplicity.
They should actually appear as uniform. Also the color at the 50% distance is not even a tint.2 votes -
Object appearance defaults when selecting new colors (white fill, black stroke)
When selecting a new color swatch value from the menu (see image) often times when the document has first been opened or an object has not been selected during this session, any selected objects revert to the default appearance - 1 pt outline, black stroke, white fill - regardless of what they were before. Then you have to undo what happened and try again to apply your changes. It's a minor inconvenience, but it only showed up in the last 3 updates. A clean install doesn't fix this issue. This can happen just a single time, or multiple times with…

Gradient across stroke, inside opacity mask is thresholded for half the width of the stroke
Applying a black-to-white gradient across a stroke inside an opacity mask results in a portion of the opacity mask not being applied, corresponding to half the width of the stroke, almost as if it is clipped by the stroke. If the path is subsequently outlined, which creates a mesh, the behavior is the same. If the object is a filled bezier curve, the behavior is normal with the shape masked as expected.

Visual glitch in modified text when using the “Transform” tool
When using the “Transform” effect on complex files, the visual display of the actual text does not update. The visual display is not up to date, whereas in the source code (CMD+Y) it is. To update the text visually, you must uncheck the “Transformation” option in the Appearance window, then check it again to force the visual update.
As shown in the attached files, the black-and-white one shows the wired version (with the correct text), and the other shows the standard view (with the text that hasn't been updated)

Script selection/appearance modification causes error 8702
I am using a script to change the appearance of an object (fill color of an ellipse shape). Since there is no way to access appearance properties directly (which would be lovely to get someday), I am using a known workaround with defaultFillColor on the selected document.
app.activeDocument.selection = [item.obj]; app.activeDocument.defaultFillColor = item.newCol;Unfortunately, the selection seems to leave Illustrator in a weird state, and any further script command (e.g. next iteration of the loop) fails with "Error 8702: there is no active document."
This sometimes goes away if I use CPU instead of GPU preview, though not reliably. And…

プリセットのB6サイズについて
IllustratorのプリセットのB6サイズは125 mm×176 mmですが、日本の規格はB6サイズ182mm×128mmです。
他の投稿より引用ですが、プリセットは、B4とB5はJISで、他のB系は国際規格になっているので、統一してほしいです。54 votesShould be fixed in the latest Beta build 30.4.42 — please update and check if it’s truly fixed, and comment back if it’s still a jumble or you find other inconsistencies.

「選択範囲を書き出し」でSVGを書き出す際、無関係なPNG画像が同時に出力される
Illustrator 2024で「選択範囲を書き出し」からSVGを書き出す際、本来選択しているオブジェクトではなく、無関係なPNG画像や別のSVGデータが出力されます。
問題のPNG画像は、
・アートボード上に存在しない
・現在開いているファイル内にも存在しない
・2年ほど前に使用した記憶のある画像
・アセット書き出しパネルにも表示されないという状態です。
また、
・新規ファイルを作成しても再発する
・通常のPNG書き出しでは発生しない
・「選択範囲を書き出し」→SVGの場合のみ発生することを確認しています。
さらに、出力されたSVGには、現在選択しているオブジェクト以外の無関係な内容も含まれており、意図した内容だけを書き出すことができません。
使用環境：
Illustrator 2024（28.7.10）
