Flash opening & closing of panels! even in older versions and tried multiple installation too!
UI panels like layer, color, appearance, etc., are expanding & collapsing itself. Looks like flashing panel.
I tried installing an older version & beta got the same problem—multiple installations, opening/ closing. NOTHING WORKED!Due to this, I'm unable to use any AI projects & my client work is getting delayed.
Maybe it could be my PC problem but I don't get it & Please help.

App crashes right after saving a file
New v. 29, the King of Crashes
Steps taken: I restart the app. (ignore the request to restart from the crash manager, somehow, that will cause another crash soon after)
Crashes usually happen right when the app is done saving a file.
This is probably the version that crashes most often in a VERY long time of using AI.2 votes -
Illustrator Crashes if any raster image fill color assigned as spot
I have a illustrator file that contains linked PSDs. I used Grayscale PSD linked images as Spot color. But illustrator 28.5 (macOS M3 Max) crashes when playing with the PSD linked images. I am thinking about it related with rendering.
I can not work with grayscale linked images as spot color.
I reported crash handles to Adobe and Apple.
Is this bug logged before? If anyone need the report file then I can send it.

CPU Preview Forced when Apple Wide Color images placed
Bug:
- Place a linked image into an illustrator file that has a color profile of "Apple Wide Color Sharing Profile"
- Note that the preview mode switches to "CPU" and you are unable to switch back.
- Restarting Illustrator has no positive effect.Workaround:
- Change the color profile of the placed image to something else like "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and restart Illustrator.Expected Behaviour:
- Placing an image of any color profile does not change the view mode - - OR - - Illustrator should warn the user that the incoming image contains a color profile that Illustrator will…1 vote -

Variation in exported image size based on coordinate position when using Asset Export
I think I'm seeing a bug in the size of an exported image when using Asset Export for Illustrator v27.5 on Windows 10 22H2 19045.3803. Here's what I've done and the result I'm seeing:
- Create a new empty document, I used an artboard size of 60" x 36" with coordinates (0", 0")
- Add a square to Layer 1 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (10", 10")
- Create a new layer, Layer 2
- Add another square to Layer 2 sized to 5" x 5" with a position of (30.5", 20.5")
- Select Layer 1 and Layer 2 in the…

Blob Brush tool not functioning - making smaller shapes than I’ve drawn and nowhere near the right shape
I'm trying to draw with the blob brush tool - its not creating anything close to what I’m drawing if at all, sometimes it just does a single dot. it's also been extra laggy of late - taking full seconds to register I’ve moved the mouse.

Objects aligned with edge of artboard render as if overlapping
When aligning an object against the edge of an artboard, the program will render it as if overlapping the edge by a tiny amount, depending on zoom.
Extremely disruptive when when working, compounded by the snapping being unreliable (as per separate bug report).

Strokes stop working properly.
Ever since version 28.7.1, after a bit of time, today was less than 2 hours, strokes can no longer can be edited.
Changing "Align Strokes" changes nothing, stroke size changes nothing. Changing caps changes nothing. This happens to both new and old strokes on both new and old paths/shapes.
Currently restarting the app seems to work around & reset it, but only for a few hours, then it starts happening again.
P.S. This is on a Mac

生成されるグラデーションはグラデーションではない
2024年前半頃に作成したデータについて解説します。
グラデーションツールで単色(特色濃度100%)から透明(特色濃度0%)になるグラデーションです。(A参照)黒の矢印で指し示している部分までは均等に濃度100%が入るはずなのですが、データ上でもよく見ると黒の矢印で指し示している位置の前後が濃い色になっているのがわかるでしょうか。このデータを最終、印刷(印刷業者に依頼)まで進めて商品をお客様に納品したところ、納品先の顧客からクレームが入りました。納品された商品を見るとAの写真で示したように黒の矢印周辺が一番色味が濃く出ており(筋が入ったような状態)本来矢印より下の部分も全く同じ色(濃度100%)で出るべきところが薄くなっているんです。(参照B)
しかも濃度100%より上の部分がすごく汚いムラのあるグラデーションになっています。
私自身、DTP業界で20年以上仕事をしていますが、年々イラレの品質低下が著しいことを恐らく長年愛用されている方ほどお気づきかと思います。
20年程前もグラデーションツールで作成したグラデーションをフィルム印刷するとグラデーションの段階がまるで階段のように縞々にでたことを思い出しますが、その解決方法として使用していたのがブレンドツールという強い味方。ステップ数を細かすぎるというくらいに細かい設定にすることでスムースなグラデーションを再現できます。
が、しかし。
今回の件で次回の印刷に向けて解決策を講じようとブレンドツールで同じグラデーションを作成したものの、いくらステップ数を増やそうとも、なめらかなグラデーションにならないのです。(C参照)
そしてcの画像を見て観察眼の鋭い方ならお気づきかと思いますが、
テップ数50のところを見て気づきませんか。一段一段のステップがグラデーション表現されており、そのグラデーションがまさに上に向かってゆくにつれて濃く表現されていることを。
本来であればもちろん一段一段のステップが同じ均一の色味になるので絶対にこういう表現になるはずがないですよね。
グラデーション表現の不具合と同じことが、このブレンドツールに於いても起こっています。今回実際に商品としてお客様に納品しており、このグラデーションの不具合が原因で金銭的損失を被りました。
グラデーションツールに問題があった時の回避策としてブレンドツールを使っていたのに、それも使い物にならないとなったら、この手のデザインは使えなくなります。
深刻に受け止めていただきたいですし、細部にまで注意を払って改善していただきたいです。1 vote -
Pen Tool Randomly Deactivating Briefly (a LOT)
Just updated to CC 2025 and have been introduced a bug where the pen tool now randomly deactivates for a split second and begins a new path. I've tried rebooting the suite, closing all other programs, but the issue is persistent. It happens so often I just clocked it at around 3-4x per minute. Insanely frustrating and making things take far longer than they should.
I'm running on a brand new M3 MacBook Air, not a complex file at all either.

PDF files made on large artboards get downscaled incorrectly.
When exporting a PDF from a document that's set to "large artboard" the resolution of linked images will get downsampled 10x as much.
In the screenshots I've provided an example of an Illustrator document that's set to large artboard mode. Artboard is an A4 format with an image that's 300 DPI.
I then export the PDF saying it should downsample images to 300 DPI.
Once I open up the PDF in an InDesign document of the same size, you'll see the linked file appears 10x smaller. Not only that, but if you look closely at the image, you'll see that…

Now the Space Bar Doesn't Work for Text in Mac Sequoia
Every time I launch AI on a Mac Sequoia OS, something in AI will not work right. This morning, the spacebar no longer adds space between words in text. What's so frustrating is you never know what shortcut/tool will fail when using Adobe products in Mac Sequoia OS. Please fix these problems. Thank you.

Selection incorrectly grabs bounding box
In Illustrator 2024 and earlier, drawing a selection box would not grab bounding boxes. In AI 2025, if I draw a selection box that happens to cross a bounding box, it will select the object(s). Proper selection ignores bounding boxes, otherwise it becomes difficult to select without accidentally picking the wrong objects. I've deleted and lost artwork several times in the last week, due to selecting bounding boxes of circles that are off screen when I'm zoomed in.
I cannot seem to find the switch to turn this off, and there is no mention of this in the new features/changes…1 vote -

「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルの書き出し結果が正しくない - Exporting symbols containing Intertwine results wrong.
「クロスと重なり」を含むシンボルを画像に書き出すと、正しい体裁になりません。
psd、pdf、Webpでは正しい体裁になるが、それ以外の保存形式では欠けたような状態で書き出される
「スクリーン用に書き出し」、「書き出し形式」、「Web用に保存(従来)」、どのメニューコマンドでも同様
「アセットの書き出し」では「書き出し」ボタンをクリックしても書き出しが実行されない
Illustrator 2023、2024で確認
再現手順:
1. 「クロスと重なり」を含むアートワークでシンボルを作成し、インスタンスを配置する
2. 「スクリーン用に書き出し」などを使って画像に書き出す(psd、pdf、Webp以外の保存形式を選ぶ)実際の結果:
「クロスと重なり」の部分が欠けたような状態で書き出される期待された結果:
画面どおりの体裁で画像が書き出される回避方法:
「クロスと重なり」を「分割・拡張」などで拡張してからシンボルに登録する---- English *Use translation tool ----
Exporting symbols containing "Intertwine" does not give correct results.
As psd, pdf, and webp, the result is correct. But in other formats, they are exported as missing.
Same result with "Exports for screens", "Export as", "Save for Web (Legacy)" or any menu command.
"Asset Export" does not export even if the "Export" button is clicked.
Check with Illustrator 2023 and 2024
How to reproduce:
1. Create a symbol with artwork containing "Intertwine" and place an instance.
