  2. I can't delete or merge swatches.

    I have 4 separate issues, all stemming from the swatches panel:
    1. I can't select a range of swatches and delete them. I have to select them individually and then delete them. Huge waste of time.
    2. Sometimes when I delete a swatch, the thumbnail remains in the panel but changes to the red slash for "no color." I now have multiples of these in my swatches panel (see attachment).
    3. Merge swatches simply doesn't work, even if they are both global swatches that I've generated.
    4. Using the command "select all unused," and then trying to delete the batch,…

  4. Font switches to default and back while navigating string with arrows

    It's a bit hard to explain in words, so please watch the screencast I recorded. To put it simply: if a text block has a font other than the default (Myriad), and you want to navigate the text using the arrow keys, each time you click the button, the font in the panels changes to the default font and then back. The new letters have the correct font, although this does impact performance, especially for large texts.

  5. Major Bug: Illustrator "undo"s randomly the last step (transform, move and copy using "alt")

    Adobe Illustrator does randomly revert the last transformation. Sometimes it reverts movement, sometimes scaling, sometimes copy and moving using "alt".
    This bug makes impossible to work with it.

  6. Missing fonts warning when no fonts are missing

    Every time I open any illustrator document, the missing fonts box shows up telling me all of the fonts are missing, but when I click replace fonts, they don't show as missing any more and there's no issue. This is a really annoying bug.

  7. Document’s dimensions are 10 times larger when printing

    Illustrator calculates dimensions incorrectly.
    The problem is when printing from Illustrator.

    There is no problem saving the file and placing it in ONYX.

    Incorrect settings for mm and cm units

  8. New file window always in fullscreen instead of previous window size

    In the past, Illustrator opened a new file to the size and position of the previous window. Now it ALWAYS goes to full screen, and I then ALWAYS have to size it back down to how I want it. this is a new and unwanted behavior, so please fix it. Thanks.

  10. Shift+Dragging an Object doesn’t constrain it

    Dear Adobe, if I wanted to nudge an object across the screen with the arrow keys to retain it's current horizontal/vertical alignment I would be designing everything in Microsoft applications. Please, PLEASE, PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE fix the Shift+Drag position constraint, it hasn't worked for over a year, and I'm losing my mind.

  11. Sudden and constant "Out of GPU memory" error, Ai 29.4

    I am suddenly getting constant "Out of GPU memory" errors, which renders all the graphics in "Outline" view, and crashes Illustrator. It just started occurring today (Wednesday April 23, 2025). Yesterday everything was fine.

    Mac Studio, M2 Max, 64 GB RAM, Sonoma. Ai 29.4

    My CS6 version of Illustrator at home on an old Mac, runs so much better than anything coming out of Adobe ever since this Creative Cloud debacle disaster!

  12. File with links to the same filename, when folder is moved, tries to open itself

    Suppose a file X have links to file Y with the same name but in other folder. If you move the original file so Illustrator can't find Y, it then tries to open the filename in its own folder and find the file itself (X). Multiple links cause the message "the file is already opened"

  14. 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!

  15. Edit Toolbar menu gets hidden when a toolbar is too close to the bottom edge of the screen

    If you have a custom toolbar and it’s positioned too close to the bottom of your screen, and you press the Edit Toolbar button — the portion of the 'drawer' with all the tool icons is positioned from the top of the toolbar, and it’s bottom half is missing... you can’t move it, scroll it, reach to the icons hidden — you have to close it, move the toolbar, and start editing it again.

    Please position this 'dropdown menu' in a way it’s seen in full, or resized to fit into the screen, no matter where the toolbar is on…

  16. Smart guides don't snap to or highlight guides when there is an object nearby

    I don't know if this is mentioned in any of the other smart guides bugs, it didn't look like it. I have a guide that I need the reflect tool to snap to with smart guides. However, when I try to hover over the guide where an object is, the smart guides just don't recognize it, I have to go to where the guide is over the artboard to get the smart guides to show up. It may be because the guide is on the layer behind the art, but that is my locked reference layer, and I want it…

  17. Glitchy Application

    My computer runs very smoothly with every other application, including other Adobe applications. However, as soon as I open Illustrator, my entire system lags and stutters constantly, making it impossible to get work done with the application. This needs to be fixed and run smoothly.

  18. Direct Select Multiple Points Moves Entire Object Not Just Selected Points

    Selecting a single point and dragging or shift-dragging allows you to move the single point. Selecting two points (out of many) appears to work until you release, then the entire object changes position.

  20. Losing data saved in cloud

    I'm using version 2025 of Illustrator, if the files stored in the cloud re-run the program, all the text will disappear. Don't you really have to compensate me for losing data while paying a lot of monthly fees? I'm so angry.
