Ai comes with scale error/warning too early
When trying to scale down a big group of paths, by double clicking the scale tool to enter a numerical value, Ai starts to complain - it seems to assume that I want to scale up (maybe due to the last scale value used). Please let the function wait for user input, before complaining.

Adobe Illustrator 2026 Crashes with Uncompressed TIFF (Compression: None)
Dear Adobe Illustrator Engineering Team,
I am reporting what appears to be a compatibility regression or TIFF parsing issue that causes Adobe Illustrator to crash consistently when opening documents containing specific TIFF images saved with Compression = None (Uncompressed TIFF).
Adobe Illustrator 2026 on Windows
Standard TIFF, no compression
Interleaved (RGBRGB) pixel order
IBM PC (Little Endian) byte orderIllustrator crashes immediately when opening or placing TIFF files saved without compression.
The same files become fully functional after being re-saved using LZW compression, without any changes to image content, dimensions, color mode, bit depth, or metadata.
This behavior strongly suggests…

Eyedropper with Shift held doesn’t pick the rendered stroke color unless clicked very precisely into path
If I have an outside stroke (thick enough for clarity, like in the GIF), I can’t use Shift-mode with the Eyedropper tool to pick the color from the actually rendered stroke — I have to click very precisely the path itself, or I get the fill color. Same with the inside stroke.
With a normal center-aligned stroke the half within the path gives the fill’s color, and the outside half gives the stroke’s one.
All three are wrong. Shift should force the tool to pick the color directly under the cursor, the one that is rendered.
Thanks to Oleg Krasnov…

DXF import size issue 2026 that works in 2024
Opening DXF in latest version 2026 at original size or 1:1 does not work, results are close but not exact. Works fine in version 2024. However, if saved as a PDF from 2024 with accurate sizes, when opened in version 2026 the size is not accurate, a few thousands off. Have many files that were created using 2024 and if I need to make adjustments for any reason opening in 2026 will result in size issues.

Shapes move when scaling
Window 11 Pro
Ai verion: 30.6Make a square and add a stroke. Align stroke to center. Grab the top path with selection arrow and pull down. The square will decrease in size but the bottom of the square will move down a little. It should stay in place. This happens with outside aligned stroke as well, but not inside.

Scribble Effect Not Showing Up in Menu, But Still Accessible
Before, the Scribble effect used to be found under Effects > Stylize. In the 2026 version, it's gone. Only Glowing Edges appears under Stylize. But when I search for Scribble by hitting the magnifying glass icon and typing it in, I can access the effect and still use it. Some people still use this effect for making ikat-inspired shapes, for example...I think it was removed from the menu by accident. Please readd it under Effects > Stylize.

Glyphs panel behaves differently for COLRv0/1 spec color fonts
Illustrator has been supporting COLRv0/v1-spec color fonts since early last year, which has been great to use, but lately I have been wondering if one feature of the Glyphs Panel is more a bug than intended.
When using a static COLRv0-built font, the Glyphs Panel is filled with separate "layered" characters of each glyph in black/white. With a high amount of characters this leads to an extremely cluttered panel.
When using one of my own COLRv0 designs, I noticed that while the static version has all these extra layers (see the images attached), a variable COLRv0 font doesn't preview any…

New Glitch in Smart Guides, highlighting perspective grid-like points
Theres a new update glitch in smart guides, when I have an object selected, a bunch of perspective grid-like highlights.
This setting is connected with object highlighting in smart guide settings. If i shut off object highlighting in Illustrator>Preferences>Smart Guides>Object Highlighting, the issue stops.
Seems like just a new bug glitch in a recent illustrator update.

Pasting a single CMYK channel value modifies all CMYK channels
Illustrator version: 29.8.9
Operating System: Windows 11Description:
When I copy a single CMYK percentage value (for example, the K/Black percentage) from one object using the Color panel and paste it into the corresponding CMYK field of another object, Illustrator also changes the other CMYK channel values automatically.Expected result:
Only the pasted CMYK channel (for example, K) should change, while the remaining CMYK values should remain unchanged.Actual result:
Illustrator modifies the other CMYK channel values as well, even though I only pasted a value into a single channel.Question:
Is this the expected behavior (a feature), or is…2 votes -

Can’t rearrange a selected object and bring it to front
Arrange tools are completely busted. I am trying to move a selected object to front. The shortcut (shift, cmd, ] or [) does not move the selected object at all. The menu option also results in nothing.

Strokes inside symbols don't show correctly when exported as a PNG
Here's a problem that I've noticed a number of times. It seems to happen intermittently and the really annoying thing is that it doesn't show up in Illustrator, only in exported PNG images.
Strokes within symbols don't always display correctly when they are exported as a PNG. It seems to happen when the symbol is rotated or scaled. It doesn't always happen. I can't work out what specifically makes this happen or not happen. It's only a problem on static symbols rather than dynamic symbols. Static symbols are generally better suited to my workflow.
A short video to show the…
