Locate Object highlights the first child of a selected group instead of the group itself
When we select a group on canvas and click the Locate Object button, the tree gets unfolded and scrolled to the group.
But for some strange reason, the item highlighted in the tree is not the group itself, but the first child within.
This behavior is not new (although there was a time when Ai even used to keep the layer highlighted instead), but it feels odd.4 votes -
Export As in an action does not save parameters but uses ones from the latest export instead
When you record 'Export As...' as an action, and use PNG format, the parameters (resolution, anti-aliasing type, background color) are not saved in the action, but are instead just picked up from the last used export.
Is this not a big problem?
Aren't actions supposed to be self-contained?
If one toggles on the 'dialog' icon in the Actions panel (to let us pick settings on the fly), then it's no different from just choosing the Export As... menu item, so what's the point of the action?Tested with Win 2024

Cursor Moving on its own After Creating Clipping Mask
Often after I create a clipping mask the cursor will, on its own, slowly begin moving across the screen. I can see it flickering with each step. If I hit escape it will stop the cursor and return to normal. M1 iMac Sequoia 15.3, Illustrator 22.9.1.
This problem has happened to me in the past in previous versions, I can't recreate it when I undo and remake the clipping mask.

Appearance items loose focus when get an effect assigned
When I pick a fill in Appearance panel and assign an effect to it, the item looses focus suddenly — take a look at the GIF attached.
If my stack there is complex enough (and they often are), it’s hard to locate the fill/stroke I was working with.
...and surely Ai doesn’t allow to rename these to at least find them quicker — and here is the request about this: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/34309852

White words invisible on export
There is a bug after I import the file form InDesign. I have some words on a sheet made in InDesign, then save it as PDF, then import to Illustrator, and then the bug is coming — if i create new words in Illustrator and use the Eyedropper to click the words on the sheet to change the color to White, and export as JPG, the words won't be show up, but black color would.

Pantone or other book colors in a CMYK document look fine in Overprint preview mode but get exported to an RGB images as dull
When we add a Pantone or a different book color into a CMYK document, we can see how it looks 'for real' when we enable Overprint mode — all fair.
Then we would need to share this image with a client, so we export an RGB image... and this image shows out vivid book color as a dull-and converted-to-CMYK-and-then-to-RGB color — which is not what we have in mind.
This is a bug, honestly, I think, but also a request — we need to be able to export images as we see them in Overprint Preview mode... Ai respect overprints…

Opacity set with an action does not match appearance of opacity set manually
When trying to select multiple objects with the same fill color and opacity, selecting one of them and under the Select menu choosing Same > Appearance will add all the same fill and opacity objects to the selection.
However, when creating an object via an action and setting the fill color and opacity to match the objects to be selected, Select > Same > Appearance returns no results.
Manually selecting multiple objects in addition to the object created with the action shows "Mixed appearances" in the Properties panel. Individually selecting each of the objects shows the same attributes. Selecting multiples…

Live text in transparency mask not outlining or showing in font list
This is a 2 part issue:
If I select all and outline the type the document doesn't outline anything that is in a transparency mask. This is a major flaw that needs to be resolved as has lead to mistakes being printed with default text.
Select all and outline needs to either include everything within transparency masks or a new command to outline text within these masks needs to be created as a separate option.A huge worry is I released work last week where I believed everything in the transparency masks had been correctly outlined by individually going in…

Incorrect Blend Mode Appearance When Opening Illustrator 2024 File in Illustrator 2025
I’ve encountered a potential bug in Illustrator. When I open a file created in Illustrator 2024 (version 28.7.4) in Illustrator 2025 (version 29.2.1), the appearance applied to the text does not display correctly.
For example, in the attached file, the text at the bottom changes to a completely different design when opened in Illustrator 2025, which is causing a significant problem.

2025 (29.0.1) is giving tons of errors on preview.
I have a file with some simple multi-gradient appearance stacks that constantly throws two errors every time I load it, and every time I switch outline mode on and off. Also the document is marked as modified the instant I load it.
Works fine on 2023. Dunno how it works on 2024, I never switched to that one. Constantly complains on 2025.
This is happening in CPU preview mode, I would check if it's happening in GPU mode as well but I deleted 2025 before thinking about that detail.

[ExtendScript] Rasterizing group creates two rasterItems
- MacOS 15.2.
- Adobe Illustrator 29.1
- Open demo document (attached) and run script (below).
- Should create one RasterItem, but instead creates two.
Test Script (for use on attached test file):

Greek text now keep accents with All Caps and is not consistent with UPPERCASE result
This has to do with the new update where all files previously created using Greek language using CAPS now all have accents. Now every time we need to change the language to Greek for accents to disappear. I'm sure this will be an issue for greeks around the world.
