1. Text style in a mess when editing text. They appear ok in Preview mode. I can't complete the task or job.

   I am trying to edit this text in illustrator 29.7.1. Each time a type, make an amendment to the existing text it scrambles all of the settings and messes everything up (please see screenshots of before and after). I've tried to output to PDF but this also displays in a mess. Please let me know if there is a fix so I don't have to abandon this job and start again. Thanks, D

4. Split Into Grid adds printable lines instead of guides

   In Split Into Grid window there's an option to "add guides". But instead of guides lines are added that have standard stroke — printable lines that are conveniently in neutral greenish color 0,1 pt stroke and look like guides so it's easy to miss that.

6. Spots and Globals are converted into process colors when included into Swatch Info

   If we pick several spot or global color swatches to display in Swatch Info, the resulting color chips won’t be using the actual swatches picked — these would become process color copies — while Ink Types are shown as 'Spot' for spots... which are not... and no information about some being 'Global'.

   I realize this connection would have to be monitored, refreshing cards when a swatch is changed...
   But this is what is expected. This is what scripts that offer a similar functionality do.

   If we choose to convert these into process colors, we can just can select one and press the button in the Color panel... yeah, it won’t work for several of these selected, but that’s another problem.

7. Joining two paths completely ruins brush width/variable stroke width profiles

   1. Draw a path with a pressure-sensitive brush. Draw another one that begins near where the first one ends.
   2. Select the ends of both paths. Object > Join.

   3. Wonder why the resulting pressure profile bears no resemblance to what you had on screen before the join.

   4. Draw a path with a variable stroke width. Draw another one that begins near where the first one ends.

   5. Select the ends of both paths. Object > Join.

   6. Wonder why the resulting width profile bears no resemblance to what you had on screen before the join.

   I think it might be just grabbing the pressure/width profiles from the topmost stroke and applying that to the entire joined path. Which is not what I think anyone would expect, I feel like the expected behavior is that a new stroke has a pressure/width profile generated by appending the first path's profile to the second.

   I'm super surprised there isn't an entry for this in UserVoice that I can find. Maybe I'm just no good at searching this thing. Maybe there's a ton of bug reports in the old bug database from before uservoice. Remember that thing? Where it was just a form on Adobe's site that you could type stuff into with no idea if anyone ever saw it? Wikipedia tells me UserVoice launched in 2008, two years before variable-width strokes were introduced in 2010, but I dunno when Adobe started using it. And of course this behavior has existed for pressure-sensitive brushes since 1998 when brushes were first introduced back in Illustrator 8. I dunno when the Join tool first appeared, I started with Illustrator 8 and I assume it goes back to like v1 or 2.

   Anyway. Now there's a bug for this. I wrote it up because a new user just asked what they assumed was an incredibly stupid noob question on the Illustrator subreddit and I got to tell them that no, they're not missing a weird corner of the docs, Illustrator just bungles this incredibly basic operation because Adobe has had zero attention to detail for twenty-seven years.

   1. Draw a path with a pressure-sensitive brush. Draw another one that begins near where the first one ends.
   2. Select the ends of both paths. Object > Join.

   3. Wonder why the resulting pressure profile bears no resemblance to what you had on screen before the join.

   4. Draw a path with a variable stroke width. Draw another one that begins near where the first one ends.

   5. Select the ends of both paths. Object > Join.

8. Documents don't open

   If I create a new document the dialog appears and I select the option and hit OK. Then the screen does not show the document. Only a gray screen. The same happens when I try to open an existent document. I have to close and and open several times until it opens or create the document.

11. Eyedropper not working when object is within nested groups

    Illustrator V. 29.1
    MacOS Ventura 13.6.2

    I need to be able to direct select objects that are within nested groups and then eyedropper to change how only that object looks. This feature doesn't work correctly and I don't want to have to click + click + click + click + click to get into the isolated object for every single shape I need to do this on every day. See screen recording to better explain. Thank you.

14. AI2025 v29.7.1 bug: SVG 1.1 is not accurately rendering

    AI2025 v29.7.1 bug: SVG 1.1 is not accurately rendering vector files. Even upping the decimal places, it's downsampling vectors and oversimplifying more detailed curves. Reverting to SVG 1.0 works fine. Please fix this!

16. Save/Export Dialog Fails on macOS 26 Beta — System UI Freezes After Error

    Operating System:
    macOS 26 Beta (Tahoe), latest developer beta as of July 2025
    Mac model: MacBook Pro M2 (2022)

    Adobe Illustrator Version:
    Latest available via Creative Cloud as of July 3, 2025 (v28.x.x)

    Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

    Open Adobe Illustrator.

    Create or open any file.

    Go to File > Save As or File > Export.

    The system attempts to open the save dialog but fails.

    The following error appears:
    “The save file operation failed. The save file operation failed to connect to the open and save panel service.”

    After that, core macOS interface components freeze, including:

    Finder

    The menu bar

    The Dock

    The only way to recover is to open Activity Monitor or run killall Finder from Terminal.

    Expected Result:
    The Save or Export dialog should appear, allowing me to choose a file name and location.

    Actual Result:
    The dialog fails to open, shows an error message, and the macOS UI becomes unresponsive until manually restarted.

    Additional Notes:

    This issue started immediately after installing macOS 26 Beta (Tahoe).

    The same behavior occurs in Adobe Photoshop as well.

    Native macOS apps like Preview or TextEdit do not experience this issue.

    I’ve tested restarting the Mac, reinstalling Illustrator, resetting preferences, and booting in Safe Mode.

    The system process com.apple.appkit.xpc.openAndSavePanelService does not appear to be running when this happens.

    Supporting Material:
    Uploading a screen recording separately as requested.

    Operating System:
    macOS 26 Beta (Tahoe), latest developer beta as of July 2025
    Mac model: MacBook Pro M2 (2022)

    Adobe Illustrator Version:
    Latest available via Creative Cloud as of July 3, 2025 (v28.x.x)

    Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

    Open Adobe Illustrator.

    Create or open any file.

    Go to File > Save As or File > Export.

    The system attempts to open the save dialog but fails.

    The following error appears:

    After scaling a pattern within a shape using shift + back quote key you cannot deselect to accept the changes to the patterns scale. I cannot click on any other tool to get out of the glitch. It only stops when I press control + alt + delete.

19. Verification takes too long

    I just went to open an Illustrator file and it decided it need to verify Illustrator. It just took 25 minutes for the verification progress bar to complete before it even began to open the program. This is way too long when you’re under a deadline or even just trying to run a business. What a waste of time. I’ve had the same issue with Photoshop and InDesign as well when CC or the computer (I don’t know which) decides it needs to verify the program. Extraordinarily frustrating and embarrassing when working with a client.
    How can the verification time be shortened please?

    Recent local files and their previews are completely gone from the welcome screen in Illustrator 2025, 29.0.

    Changing the number of visible recent files, restarting the computer, disabling/enabling GPU acceleration and even doing a clean install of Illustrator didn't help.

    As stated in an update at forums, there is a solution.

    A backend fix has been applied. Please restart Illustrator to see if the issue is resolved.

    If it persists, follow these steps:

    1. Close all Adobe apps, including the Creative Cloud desktop app.

    2. Navigate to the following folder location:

    Mac: ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/CCX Welcome folder

    Windows: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CCX Welcome\

    3. Locate the folder named CCX Welcome and rename it to CCX Welcome.old.

    4. Relaunch the Creative Cloud desktop app, then reopen Illustrator.

    Leave a comment if this resolves the issue or not.
