  2. 縦組みのエリア内文字のスレッドテキストオプション作成が正常に機能しない

    macOS 14.7.2
    Illustrator ver.29.1

    Step to reproduce
    1.縦組みのエリア内文字を作成する
    2.矩形ツールで矩形を描く
    3.エリア内文字と矩形を選択してメニュー「書式→スレッドテキストオプション→作成」を選択する。
    4.矩形が縦組みエリア内文字に変換されるが、スレッドテキストにはならずエリア内文字のコンテンツがコピーされた状態になる。

    期待する動作
    矩形がスレッドテキストとして正常にリンクされる。

    実際の結果
    スレッドテキスト→作成を実行してもスレッドテキストとならずコンテンツの状態もおかしい。

    回避策
    Tツールを使って手動でスレッドテキストをリンクさせる。

    縦組みに対するスレッドテキストオプションの挙動は全般おかしく、エリア内文字や矩形の構成や状態によって挙動が異なる場合がありますが、全般的に意図した通りに動作しない。
    また、おかしくなったエリア内テキストを手動でリンクさせようとするとIllustratorがクラッシュします。

    以下のコミュニティ投稿もご参照ください。

  3. Font drop down list won't allow font selection.

    Mac Studio
    Sequoia 15.6.1
    Adobe Illustrator 2026 version 30

    My font drop-down list allows me to preview fonts, but not select them. If I preview and click a new font to select it, the type window closes and my select text reverts to the original font. I've tried using the text tool and the selection tool - same problem. To change a font, I must type the ENTIRE NAME in the font window and hit return. Very time consuming. :(

  4. More than 1 Placed Item that has been named loses name in 29.6.1

    Place 2 linked items. Rename each item in the layer panel to Item 1 and item 2. Save File as Template or Document. Reopen. Only the first name appears. The second appears as <Linked File>. Any others also are renamed to <Linked File>. This is crucial to automation of template files to replace linked files and needs to be fixed! Have no issues with 29.5

  5. File names are broken on macOS scripts

    Bug reproduction:

    #target illustrator
    
    var file = File.openDialog("Select any file", "All files:*.*");
    var message = 'Results\nfile.name: "' + file.name + '"\nfile.displayName: "' + file.displayName + '"\nfile.localizedName: "' + file.localizedName + '"';
    alert(message);
    

    Save this as a script, run it in Illustrator on macOS and select any file.

    Expected outcome: An alert is displayed with all of the name attributes are populated
    Actual outcome: displayName and localizedName give empty string and undefined.

    Tested on macOS 15.7.1, Illustrator v29.8.2. Same script works on Windows 11.

  7. Can't select linked png/bmp files when they have transparent backgrounds.

    Placing several linked BMP or PNG files with transparent backgrounds causes them to become randomly unselectable by clicking on them. You have to go to outline mode, find and select the edge of the image, or select with marquee tool and then carefully unselect the extra objects. Either way, it cannot be moved except to click on the edge of the images frame. This has been an issue for years. I think I may have even posted about it before, but can't find that now. IMO this is an issue that should be escalated as it such a basic operation…

  9. Can’t edit colors in a selection

    When going to edit a color CMYK mixture the mixtures go blank and then it acts as if their is no fill color. I am trying to edit the CMYK mix to match the PMS mix and it keeps glitching after my latest update. You can see in my image that even though the color is slected it shows no color in the fill or a question mark.

  10. Rasterizing an object inside of a clipping group flattens the clipping group itself

    If we need to rasterize one selected object inside of the clipping group, we have to isolate the object to avoid flattening the clipping group. Isolating only the clipping group won’t help, we have to 'drill into' the object specifically!

    This doesn’t happen for simple groups — with these we don’t have to isolate anything at all, just selecting a child is enough.

    Thanks to Junior Rocha for raising this up.

  12. Illustrator最新版で A-OTF フォントが使用できない件について

    お世話になっております。

    現在、以下の環境で A-OTF フォントが Illustrator で使用できない 不具合が発生しております。

    環境

    macOS:15.6.1(Sequoia)

    Adobe Illustrator:最新版(28.x)

    Morisawa Fonts アプリ:最新版を使用

    フォント例:A-OTF ゴシックMB101 Pr5

    症状

    Illustrator のフォント一覧には A-OTF フォントが表示されるが、選択すると代替フォントに置き換わり使用できない。

    Photoshop など他の Adobe アプリ(Photoshop、InDesign)では同じフォントを正常に使用可能。

    Morisawa Fonts アプリ上では該当フォントはアクティブ化されている。

    実施済み対策

    Illustrator のアンインストール/クリーンインストール

    環境設定・キャッシュの削除

    Morisawa Fonts アプリの再インストール、ログイン/再アクティブ化

    macOS 再起動

    上記すべてを実施しても改善せず

    特記事項

    Illustratorを一つ古いバージョン(27.x)に戻したところ、問題なくフォントを使用できた。

    よって、最新版 Illustrator(28.x)と macOS 15.6.1 環境における A-OTF フォントの不具合である可能性が高いと考えられる。

    ご確認いただきたいこと

    Illustrator最新版と macOS 15.6.1 環境での A-OTF フォント非対応/不具合について既知の情報があるか

    修正版のリリース予定があるか

    回避策があればご教示いただきたい

  13. Pen tool can't close paths in draw behind mode in certain scenarios

    I'm drawing with the pen tool in draw behind mode. However, every time I start a path on where an anchor is of another path above it is located, I won't be able to close the path by clicking the starting anchor point. It will instead just create another anchor point in that exact same spot and continue the path.

  17. Layer import BUG from .ai file (v29.8.1) to InDesign

    When I import a multipage .ai file created with version 29.8.1 of Adobe Illustrator into InDesign, the layers that I can view or hide are multiplied for each page of the .ai document.

  18. Documents preview not updated properly in Indesign

    When I save an Illustrator file, import it into Indesign, then make changes to the file, save it again and update the link in Indesign, some parts are not updated in the preview (see attached image). This doesn't happen every time, seemingly at random.

    I have resolved this by first saving as an older version and then again as latest version, but that's not a real solution.
    Somebody told me to uncheck 'Save in background' in settings, this also solved the problem but again, is not a real solution.

    I have this problem simultaneously with the (already known) problem where…

  20. Drop Shadows and Outer Glows not working right

    Upgraded to v30 (64 bit) Drop shadows do not generate or display properly- they are either missing or show sharp edges even with a high fade. Both Drop Shadows and Outer Glow effects take a very long time to render and often lock up the program or Windows (Win11) completely so a reboot is needed. This is happening on relatively simple objects of a small size, I use these effects a lot and never had a problem with it like this before, even with large complex objects. There is something in the newest version of Illustrator which is causing the…
