Illustrator in 30.3 version stopped reading spot colors (like Pantones) from greyscale PSD files.
When placing a grayscale PSD file with added spot color (it can be either Pantone or custom spot), only the grayscale is readed into Illustrator, spot color is being ignored. TIF files and CMYK colorspace files work normally.

Artboard Size option is not available in the top Control panel in 30.6
In previous versions, the Artboard Size option was available in the top Control panel next to Document Setup. This was very convenient and helped speed up my workflow. However, in version 30.6, I have to use the right-side Properties panel every time I want to resize an artboard. This adds extra steps and slows down the design process. It would be greatly appreciated if you could bring back the Artboard Size option to the top panel.

Slow launch time
Latest GM and Beta versions of Illustrator take far too long to launch from cold. Currently taking 15+ seconds to launch on an M2 Pro, whereas 12 months ago it was taking 3-4 seconds. Photoshop and InDesign launch faster, Acrobat Pro launches faster. This needs fixing ASAP please.

Swatch color values get adjusted proportionally when pasting a value with Ctrl/Win+V
New Swatch dialog always adjust values proportionally when just pasting a value.
Here are the steps to reproduce the bug (and the GIF):
- In a new CMYK document create a global swatch with CMYK 33 10 33 0
- Confirm, edit the swatch again
- Copy '20' value as text from anywhere
- Paste the value into the M input — using Ctrl/Win+V (I’m on Windows)
Ai would turn both '33' values into '66', doubling it, as if Ai thinks I want to adjust values proportionally — as if I HOLD Ctrl when CONFIRMING the value — while I haven’t confirmed it yet...…

Illustrator 30.8: ExtendScript debugger cannot attach — ESTK endpoint never responds
Summary
In Illustrator 30.8.0, the Adobe ExtendScript Debugger extension for VS Code (v2.1.0) can no longer attach to or launch scripts. Rolling back to 30.7.0 fixes it completely, with no other change to VS Code, the extension, or the launch configuration — so this is a regression introduced between 30.7 and 30.8.
The failure is narrow and specific: in 30.8, Illustrator's ExtendScript debug (
#estk) channel accepts the debugger's<connect/>handshake but never sends any response. The message is delivered successfully — the core library returnsstatus: 0with a valid serial number — and then nothing…2 votesReproducible is house, is being worked upon. Thank you kindly for reporting this

Cannot register Japanese script names containing dakuten (voiced marks) in Actions
Illustrator 2026で、アクション機能と日本語スクリプト名に関する再現可能な問題を見つけました。
濁点を含む日本語名の JSX スクリプトは、「ファイル → スクリプト」に正常に表示され、通常どおり実行できます。
しかし、「アクション → メニュー項目を挿入」を使用して同じスクリプトを登録しようとすると、Illustrator はそのメニュー項目を見つけられません。例えば、スクリプト名は次のとおりです。
テキストばらしAI.jsx
しかし、メニュー上では次のように表示されます。
テキストはらしAI
濁点付きの「ば」が「は」として表示されます。
このため、アクションではスクリプトを検索・登録できません。
スクリプト名を英数字のみへ変更すると、アクションへの登録・実行は正常に行えます。
このことから、Illustrator 2026では、アクションのメニュー項目登録時に濁点を含む日本語ファイル名を正しく処理できていない可能性があります。Steps to Reproduce
1、濁点を含む日本語名の JSX ファイルを用意する。2、Illustrator を再起動する。
3、「ファイル → スクリプト」に表示され、正常に実行できることを確認する。
4、「アクション → メニュー項目を挿入」を開く。
5、スクリプトを登録しようとする。
6、メニュー項目が見つからず、登録できない。
Expected Result
濁点を含む日本語名のスクリプトも正しく表示され、アクションから検索・登録できるべきです。I found a reproducible issue in Illustrator 2026 regarding Actions and Japanese script names.
A JSX script with a Japanese filename containing dakuten (voiced characters) appears correctly under File → Scripts and can be executed normally.However, when I try to register the same script using Actions → Insert Menu Item, Illustrator cannot find the menu item.

Vector shape out of place after saving as SVG
This is about the version 30.6. After saving the illustration as SVG, some elements got out of place.
As you'll see on the attachment, the black elements should be aligned to the road lanes.

New fonts don't load upon installation
Somehow, the new Adobe Illustrator updates prevent manually installed fonts from loading. These are fonts that aren't available in Adobe Fonts. So I have to install them manually. Because of this, I have to restart Illustrator so I can use the font. There's no problem when activating fonts on Adobe Fonts. Is there a workaround for this?

書き出し時の同名ファイルの警告が出ない
png、jpgでの書き出しのとき、すでに同じファイル名がある場合に警告メッセージが出なくなり、そのまま上書きされてしまいます。
上書きの警告メッセージの出し方、またはそれ自体が無くなったのであれば、改善していただきたいです。ver30.5.1です。
ちなみに、ネットでいろいろ調べると「環境設定」に「書き出し」があるとか出てくるのですが、その書き出し自体の項目も無くなっています。2 votesThe team is aware of this problem.
It’s a Windows-only bug, not specific to the latest build.
As soon as anything changes, someone from the team would leave a comment or update the status of the report.
