別のドキュメントから読み込んだ文字スタイル・段落スタイルに設定された文字カラーは,ファイルを保存して再度開いたときに失われてしまいます。
macOS & Windows OS, Illustrator all versions
再現手順
① ドキュメント上で段落スタイルを新規作成し,文字カラーを設定後,保存する。
② 別のドキュメントの段落スタイルパネル「段落スタイルの読み込み…」より,①.ai を読み込む。
③ 読み込んだ段落スタイルを適用したテキストオブジェクトを作成し,保存する。
④ ③のドキュメントを再度開く。望む結果: ①で設定した文字の色が,段落スタイルの「文字カラー」に設定されている。
実際の結果: 段落スタイルの「文字カラー」は「なし」になっている。
読み込んだスタイルを適用したテキストオブジェクトの見た目は黒くなり(カラースペースがDevice Grayになり),カラーパネルの表示は「?」になります。
上記手順では「段落スタイル」について書いていますが,「文字スタイル」で設定した場合も,同様の不具合が発生します。

AI 29.1 - Missing New Help Bar
The 29.1 update is supposed to have a new Menu Bar under Window->Help Bar but it's not there.
Using macOS Sonoma 15.1.1
2 votesHelp Bar is available only in the latest Beta (starting with 29.2) and Prerelease builds so far. As soon as the team decides it’s ready to be pushed into main build, you’ll be able to get it. At the moment you can install Beta build from CCD app, or just wait.

Align art to pixel grid applied by default when adding vector images to CC libraries
Steps to reproduce: Select a vector graphic in an Adobe Illustrator file and click the Add ("+") icon at the bottom of the Libraries panel. Choose "Graphic." (note: the Illustrator file containing the graphic does not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.)
Expected result: The newly created library asset should not have "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
Actual result: The library asset has "Align art to pixel grid" applied.
I'm forced to uncheck "Align art to pixel grid," close, and then re-open the library asset. This removes "Align art to pixel grid" about half the time.
I'm on…

Hitting Escape while editing a field does not cancel the value but applies it
I don’t know why nobody reports this...
If I input something in a field and I want to abort and return to the previous value, I hit Escape.Sometimes the first Escape closes the suggestions dropdown (like in browsers), and only the second one restores the previous value.
A LOT of apps follow this rule except browsers:
Affinity Designer, Inkscape, CorelDRAW, Blender...
Non-design ones too: MS Office, Google Docs, various text editors... A LOT.Some apps keep the value entered, but don’t apply it, and put the old one back when an object get reselected — Xara does it.

The "color spectrum" in Color panel always shrinking to the minimal size and it is very annoying.
Every time I open Adobe Illustrator, the "color spectrum" in color panel always shrinking to the minimal size. Could you please make it not change according to the size the user wants. I usually need the "color spectrum" to be full size (maximum size). That would really help us designer a lot. Thanks, Adobe team.

Keyboard Increment works wrong and arrow keys move object more than they should
I have the problem as a result of the last update to Illustrator 2025, version 29.0 (October 2024)
The measurement set in the Preferences section, General in Keyboard Increment does not displace the configured measurement. For example, I set 0.5 mm and when moving with the arrow key to the sides it moves 0.706 mm
Likewise, when using Shift + Arrow you must move the measurement 10 times, in my example you must move 5 mm but it moves 5,292 mm
Please correct ERROR it is very useful and necessary, it makes me waste time in the Design
1 voteThe issue reported no longer happens in 29.0.1.
In case a similar problem happens with you, make sure you have both Snap to Grid and Snap to Pixel disabled.

3D Effects dithering in Illustrator for MacOS
I'm noticing in Illustrator version 29.3.1 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1 a graphics problem and dithering of objects that have a 3D effect applied. Specifically, I'm using the 'Inflate' effect and am seeing objects sometimes as dithered or pixelated and others that are smooth and normal. I can temporarily smooth the dither if I move the object on the screen, but then other objects with the same effect can have dithers. I'm using a MacBook ProM4 with 48GB and also two 4K 32" monitors. If I move the Illustrator window to another screen, the dithering still remains on some objects unless…

Scale Tool center point sticking to the cursor
When using the Scale tool, when I drag the center point with the mouse (actually it happens when using the pen), it sticks to the tip of the cursor and does not go away for a while. I lower the program window down, switch to other programs, only then it is solved. The program locks at that time.

'Audodesk' instead of 'Autodesk' when exporting DWG

Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly
Scaling of markers in graphs no longer works properly. Per the online documentation at https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/graphs.html:
“The design is scaled so that the backmost rectangle in the design is the same size as the default square marker on the line or scatter graph.”
This is how it used to work. Now it scales the markers down to fit in the default marker’s bounding box, which creates absurdly small results (screenshot attached, showing the size that should be generated per the documentation versus what actually happens). I've tried this multiple times and always get the same incorrect result.

They won't let me generate an MLK Jr. illustration for my MLK day design
I run a Ryzen 5 5500U MSI laptop and my Adobe Illustrator is the latest one from 2025.
I literally tried the most well-explained prompt so it leaves no confusion at all. But still in the middle of the process it gets terminated. Please take a look at my prompt,
"Create a clean, minimalist, and bold 2D illustration of Martin Luther King Jr. that highlights his facial features and expression. Focus on capturing the essence of his kindness, wisdom, and leadership. The portrait should be simplified with smooth, stylized lines, emphasizing his eyes, smile, and iconic facial characteristics.

A part of a traced image vanishes when using Image Trace
When changing raster graphics to vector graphics, an image element (with a yellow background) was removed. It looks like Adobe Illustrator does not recognize this color. How can I solve this problem?
